I don't do boys
Gerard James Borg aced it in Iceland
He penned this song with Smar and Magnusson. Borg says that this song is the talk of town and storming the charts in Iceland. The creative concept has received successful critical acclaim and appreciation despite the controversial video clip released few days ago. The video has already charted at number 8.
This project in Iceland is not Gerard’s first collaboration in the country as in 2008 the Maltese writer was involved in the Manicure Project as a concept designer together with Icelandic composer Hallgrimur Oskarsson. The song I wanna manicure performed by the Hara Sisters did not manage to qualify from the heat, facing direct competition from the Euroband who eventually won the selection and representend the country in Belgrade.
Borg also wrote the lyrics for the song White nights composed by Philip Kirkorov. Russian pop star Dima Bilan was reported to compete with this song in the Russian final as he was planning to make a return in the Eurovision Song Contest following his victory in 2008.
Gerard James Borg is considered to be as one of the successful writers in Malta with the majority of his musical projects in Malta are linked to his working partner Philip Vella. His latest Eurovision competing entry was Vodka performed by Morena two years ago.

If you had to ask me, I think this song could be a BIG hit, and the girls are really daring. !!!!!!!!!
Such a blatant, poorly-written attempt to cash in on the 'controversy' of Katy Perry's first hit... Cheap and tacky rubbish!
Very great song! He also write song for Dima Bilan with Kirkorov! I want to buy song I don't do boys.
Go Ukraine!
Well IMO this is not so important news that interests our MALTA. Since this year's EUROSONG winner is THEA GARRETT I expect news about her not about Mr.Borg. Didn't we hear much about him in the last 3 years or so!!
So, EUROVISION FANS check out escmalta.com for some interesting and latest news about our representative for 2010. This is the lastest news;

The three backing vocalists to sing with Thea on stage had just been chosen!!
Iceland? Even Malta has a larger population
Sometimes I wish Esctoday was more like Facebook, that you could hide certain people with the click of a button. It's nice to discuss Eurovision, but some of the prejudice here is just way too much sometimes.
Terrible song and video, cheap and awful lyrics and again more of this lesbian trend - laaaaaame.
woooow! sexy video and sexy writer. Are these the same girls who competed for Iceland last year?
hahaha! hot-sexy-orgy
Sorry, I know it's off-topic, but does somebody know what's going on in Ukraine? Are they going to organize another national final, because they don't want Vasyl?
Silly song indeed! Stupid lyrics! And thankfully not made for ESC, it would have been a shamebless.
i dont do boys, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
WHEN WE HAVE THE OTHER VERSION ,I DONT DO GIRLS ,WITH NICE BOYS KISSING EACHOTHER?????????
I would like to know what kind of relation there's between Mr. Borg and the writer of this article, whose surname sounds kinda Maltese...
The Prime Minister is a lesbian Alyson 
Oh, I do love the Borg.
NONSENSE!!!!!!!!!!!
WTF??????????????????????????? ????
Haha "kissable ass" o.0
Awful trash, thankfully it isn't a Eurovision song.
Good song it is That lyricist gave nice lyrics to esc.
But , i also wonder like alyson what is aced it ? maybe "made it" to iceland ?? 
AWESOME! Love it!
omg...what a silly song
What a sad sad song... the lyrics are pathetic.... this guy is desperate....
Is there a big market for lesbian music in Iceland? Not that I've got anything against it, but when the population up there is around 300.000 and generally the lesbian population is 1-2% (probably a little higher if you consider closet lesbians). So if ALL lesbians in Iceland buy this song they might sell between 3000 and 6000 copies. But maybe that is considered a big seller in Iceland? I really have no idea, it just seems like a very small market. The song is nice, but a little too "in your face" for me.
And what does "aced it" mean? I've never heard this expression. Where is it used?
If I were him, I wouldn't be so proud of composing such a crappy song..
Icelandic version of 'I kissed a kirl'? That's very hot for this little cold island in the north!
only in Iceland would this happen 
loove it
