"Nothing
is impossible
to achieve" -
Annabelle Debono
1. What were
your dreams as a child? Did you ever wish to
become a singer or you thought of another
career?
I always wanted
to become a performer. Not necessarily a
singer, but I always saw myself on a stage,
performing in front of an audience, where I
entertain the people watching...it is just
within me. I remember watching Malta Song
for Europe when I was just a little girl,
wishing I could be on the same stage one
day. Then eventually I joined a Choir, began
taking part in local festivals and one thing
lead to another and here I am now.
2. Are you more like your mother or your
father?
I look like my mother A LOT! However I don't
panic as much as she does. I'm calm, relax
and try to take everything with a pinch of
salt...just like my father.
3. Rich and famous .... or .... poor and
anonymous?
I think Rich and Famous. 4. What is
your idea of heaven?
Stress-free, Serenity,
Happiness, No jealousy, True Friendship,
everyone smiling...bright colours all
around!
5. What has been your greatest challenge
so far?
It has been this year in May, where I
had my first experience at the Eurovision
Song Contest in Belgrade and exactly after I
came back to Malta I had my University final
examinations. Thank God I passed all of them
and now I'm off to my third year of studies.
It was the greatest challenge as I spent the
best two weeks of my life in the Eurovision
Dream in Belgrade, and exactly afterwards,
two weeks of studying and it was difficult
to concentrate after such an amazing
experience. However, I believe that where
there is a will there is a way, and nothing
is impossible to achieve!
6. What was your funniest experience with
a fan?
I remember once I had
a concert and a child came up to me for an
autograph, but instead of a piece of paper
she had a tissue paper, so I had to sign on
a USED tissue paper. It was rather
disgusting lool!
7. Are you a shopaholic? If so, which
shops do you visit mostly?
Oh yes...I'm a woman I LOVE shops!! I love
shoes and bags and whenever I'm around shops
with nice bags and shoes I try to calm down
as I tend to exaggerate with all the
shopping and then feel guilty afterwards!
8. What makes you angry?
People who make you trust them and then find
out they are completely dishonest. I hate
jealousy as well. I hate it when people
don't like you just because you have
succeeded in something. It's frustrating.
That is when you realize who are your true
friends and who are the people who love you
most.
9. A 'YES' you're sorry you have
said.....and a 'NO' you're proud you have
said?
I believe everything happens for a
reason...I always think before I give an
answer so I don't regret anything in my life
so far. I don’t regret anything in life,
however I’m proud to have said ‘NO’ to
people who try to put me down and make me
believe I’m not good enough. I love
challenging those people!
10. Which
career do you see yourself doing apart from
the one you're already doing?
I love my career as a singer, and
hopefully I'll be a full time Computer
teacher in 3 years time. I love what I'm
doing and wouldn't see myself doing
something else other than teaching.
11. Which is
your favourite word....and least favourite?
Least favourite is definitely
GOODBYE... most favourite is ... ‘PIACE!’
I’m using it a lot lately.
