I hope RAI will not commit song replacement mistake again like what they did with Nina Zilli (although I liked L'Amore e femmina, when I heard Per Sempre I strongly believed that Italy might get the champion). Grande Amore is great and cannot be replaced.

oh this

and you just remind me

1) how this song was cutted
2) how this was great
3) how MM was underrated
4) he didn't win and that was a disaster

xfacepalm

5) how Marco brought class. Some of his fans still follow Eurovision, by the way. (And I think that we've got one of them here on ESCUnited... right, [MENTION=13902]Ellen[/MENTION] ?)

I think Italy had better years (and usually it has very good ones)..can't say that I don't like Grande amore, but it just feels like it lacks something.

Hmmm cliche, boring, nth special really..step down for Italy in ESC IMO, they were very modern last few years, this is so ESC friendly, i don’t like it that much.. :(
Only vocals are good, melody is so simple, cliche, uninspiring.. xcry

Melanie Renee is THE BEST till now to me!

wow massive support here! :eek:

I really like this entry. Maybe I'd prefer Nek over Il Volo, but this really stands out and it's so Italian that I love it. I gave only 10 points because I find the verses a bit weak (or at least not strong enough), but I absolutely love all the passion in this song. This is how I like the music, especially the ballads :mrgreen:

It has to be Grande Amore because they don't have any other songs. Someone said they have an EP coming out but its all covers. So unless they for some reason that makes no sense create a whole new song from scratch its going to be Grande Amore.

And I completely agree with you on L'Amore e femmina and Per Sempre. I love L'Amore, it was one of my favorites to win the whole thing, but Sempre had a magical feeling that the other didn't.

This is a real Italian music. So it's very expected entry for Italy. Pretty good but not for everyday listening 6 pts.

Definitely the best song of San Remo 2015 and the best song so far in ESC 2015. I really don't get the Nek hype :/

Can't see this winning. Why? Because if people don't see hamster wheels or cheap gimmicks they will say it's too pompous.

Anyway, first song that I can cleary give 12 points :D

Sorry Italy, but this is possibly the worst song of the year for me. I hate overdramatized, boring songs like this. :(

Overdramatized? It's called FEELINGS and PASSION. Something necessarily related to music.
