I can understand the disappointment as Italy are renowned for sending high quality entries to eurovision, and Il Volo feel very much like their own version of a novelty act with the camp "popera" thing going on. I guess Il Volo are exactly the type of stereotypical act that Europe would expect from Italy and it would be sad if they conform to this by sending them to Vienna.

goodddd!!!!

Who? You don't know Gianna Nannini? :eek: Probably the biggest rocker star in Italy xheart

It wasn't for her. Some female singer before her. I know Gianna Nannini, not as a big rock star, but as a singer who sang Aria with Toše Proeski :)

I can recognise this song by Gianna from the Toše's DVD as well. It must be her nr1 hit.

Whatever it happens tonight, my personal Top 5 from Sanremo Festival is something like this:

1. Il Volo / Nek (i love both songs in the same way, so it completely impossible for me to decide :p )
2. Il Volo / Nek
3. Malika
4. Chiara
5. Annalisa

Mia Città was far from high quality and Madness of Love was so high in quality, everyone fell asleep.

Il Volo is far superior than the average European Eurovision act and it's definite winning material. A winning act has to go well with the crowds, self-proclaimed quality only goes well with snobs.

Actually, her most famous hit is "Bello e Impossibile"

Everyone but the jury I guess;)
But Raphael and Nina set the bar for Italy so incredibly high with their amazing entries, it was always going to be tough for Marco and Emma to follow but their entries were very solid, in my opinion.
And it's debatable about Il Volo being better than the average eurovision act.

Well, I wouldn't expect Il Volo to make up a ridiculous show for vocal failures. So, no ring piano, high hats, telescope dresses or hamster wheels.... just grandi voci per una bellissima canzione
