The song, Socjeta, means a lot to Sephora as it has an important message about terrible things that happen in life like physical abuse to both women and men and also children.  Also stealing from old people and other crimes. There are people who may have a condition and maybe on drugs and other substances. People who are disabled and others with a conditions like autism who and people they are indirect to these . What is society going to do to help them ?

Gaia Cauchi impresses the judges in X Factor UK audition

gaia gaia3 gaia2

Gaia Cauchi impressed all four judges on the X Factor UK with her audition shown on ITV channel at the weekend. She performed Only Love Can Hurt Like This by Paloma Faith and she received very positive feedback from all the judges.

Simon Cowell said “You have a real presence about you, and I really hope you do well” and Robbie Williams was impressed too. His only concern was that Gaia is very young and maybe she would be better suited to be in a band. Anyway, all four judges gave her a very comfortable YES! to go through to the next phase.

I am sure we are all very interested to see what happens next for Gaia.

Gaia won the 2013 Junior Eurovision Song Contest for Malta with The Start.
