Malta: Vodka singer turns down vodka sponsorships
With the song name "Vodka", you could see this coming!
Malta's Eurovision ambassador Morena wants to lead by example and has turned down two generous sponsorship offers from international vodka companies.
The 24-year-old Gozitan told The Sunday Times she had been contacted by two companies who wanted her to pose in advertisements.She said that although what they were offering was "substantial", she turned them down immediately because although her song is called Vodka, the song did not promote drinking."Their offers were substantial but I immediately refused because the last thing I want to do is promote alcohol. I do not drink. Instead I stick to my favourite beverages: water and peach Nestea," she said when contacted.
"My message throughout the song is that you can still enjoy yourself and have a good time without alcohol. And the same applies to drugs," she said. Pressed for further information on what she had been offered, Morena did not divulge specific details, saying it was a mix of money, promotion and payment for the song's video.
Morena, who will be competing in the Eurovision Song Contest in Serbia later this month, said she did not need alcohol to enjoy herself.
