RAI is concerned just about the audience, but this year we have had the most watched ESC final from 2011 on RAI 2 :D

Hmm, Heroes was released at about the same period as Grande Amore. If you're so damn keen to the Charts performance, look at the certifications: 2 platinum for Il Volo, nothing yet over there for Mans. Deal with it.

And let's talk about sellings in some months, not the instant-sales 2 days after the final.

BS!!

Spotify is from Sweden and are more popular in Nordic countries than anywhere else, some songs are sometimes more streamed in a day in Sweden then in the USA! So it's not very surprising ^^

Now that everything is over, I have something to add. Since I came here I had always read again and again the argument "pop opera has never done good at Eurovision" and "they will fail as Amaury with Sognu". It was tiring explain that operatic pop is successful in the world so why not in Europe, and that Il Volo were experienced singers that were set to win and not certainly to fail.
I am happy I was proven right: even with an horrible position in the running order that everyone was saying was death zone, they managed to be the first in televoting and the third adding jury vote.
So, write this in the record history of the Eurovision Song Contest: operatic pop does good at the Eurovision Song Contest and Il Volo in the finale delivered a flawless performance.
Thank you Il Volo, for setting this record, thank you Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca for bringing high the name of Italy in this competition.

Sorry, I really, really don't want to start again, but I can't stand bullsh*t passively.

Excuse me Supergirl, maybe you are referring to David Guetta xD

This is iTunes world chart - http://kworb.net/itunes/ 26-05-2015 - and for sure Mans song is not the second most played in world radio. "Grande Amore" is in italian, get it? And is charting really good from months all over the world, this is a big result nowadays with this english predominance, try to think Heroes in sweden...

Your constant trolling here is making people hate Man's song more than the juries themself. STOP your nonsense and take a break.

Sorry I trust Expressen way more than you?!! Expressen wrote Warner music said it's 2nd most buyed song in the world right now.

You know that you can't only pick some sources and then say it's not the second most played song right now.you need to have all the numbers from the world. i doubt you have it.

You should stop your nonsense and accept Sweden is the only right winner of Eurovision Song contest 2015.

EDIT: the link you posted is about artists not songs.

BTW, Heroes can be in 15 place in itunes. Say it have going up from place 100 in these three days then it probbably the second most sold song. It's not the placement itself that tell that. It can be in place 15 and still be the second most sold song.

No, you just can't accept the fact that people aren't falling to the ground and having holy visions just because Sweden won. You get nasty every time someone says something that isn't wholly positive about Sweden. Not everybody jumps for joy about Sweden and that clearly bothers you

Well then why when people here mention that the boys are successful, you come and try to convince is that Mans is more. You could nicely go to the Swedish thread and post all these nice things to people who want learn about him. There we are talking about Il Volo

And if you are referring to me for not accepting Sweden as the winner or something I am she not it

My humble opinion: Italy was robbed of their victory, when we look at how "professional" juries voted. For instance, Germany. Jury put Italy at the end of the list, while they convincingly won the voting. Who can say that trained opera singers with world-wide fame prior this competion sang worse than 20 other singers???? Were German jurors deaf??? But okey, juries put Sweden first, rules are rules - but as much as the European people must accept the fact that Sweden won fairly, in my opinion, Sweden should also accept the fact that their victory isn't backed by European audience. And we aren't talking about one or ten points of difference in televoting, we talk about 80 points of difference between Italy and Sweden in televoting. And such huge margin cannot be simply overlooked and this means that EBU must figure it out how to make this system just. Not only to make sure that the winner of televotes wins, but also to prevent such ridiculous scoring differences as in the case of German jury. The latter really doesn't make sense to me - I cannot find even a geo-political explanation for the voting of German jury... Nothing makes sense to me any longer about this ESC voting.

Finally: one request. Those of you who feel that Mans needs to be defended, please, do not reply to my post, cause I really do not want to start arguing about him etc. He is simply irrelevant, and I don't care about him. My post is about Italy and unfairness/lack of logic of the current EBU voting system.

Even though this was my #1 favorite, I didn't like their performance as much as I thought I will. They somehow didn't look like winners to me. And yet, I would definetly prefer this song as a winner over :se: . I am glad that the audience recognized just how great this song is and that it voted it as being the best song of this edition, and that is what, imo, it certainly is.

[MENTION=14374]Carian[/MENTION] thank you for the support, but one thing must be put straight: they are not trained opera singers, they never said such a thing, on the contrary also in the press conference did explain that they are pop singers who sing pop in classical way, and classic songs in a pop way, having classical voices and pop music combined.

Why do the televote winner have to be the winner???? Jury's work is to vote against diaspora/neighbour voting and do the contest fair because in televoting the countries in the first half will be completely chanceless.

Do really people think this would have been the televoting results if we switched running order between Sweden and Italy? The televote results for the top 3 are from last to first in the running order.
