"Grande Amore" has entered the UK top 1500 on iTunes now, so soon before Eurovision, usually a sign that this entry is going to do quite well in Eurovision. xpuke

Of course, Molitva is from Serbia. :rolleyes:

Eh no, I'm not that crazy for Molitva either but I indeed find it way more enjoyable than this, and what has Molitva got to do with this song anyway? You better chill and accept that not everyone has to like the songs that you do. :D

I agree with [MENTION=12100]SRBIJA[/MENTION]...regarding comments to GRE and regarding this song..it's very lame IMO, it's cliche, formulaic, boring, nth special..just vocals are good, but that's far from enough to me..

Yes but if this was true then Italy would be doing this since 2011 but that hasn't happened. I now believe "Grande Amore" is going to do really well in Eurovision, I believe this is the first contender for the win, I'm hoping Latvia will join that list on Sunday when they pick "Love Injected".

i am not defending Grande Amore,
and of course i dont tell you what to like and what not.
If anyone says "hey i dont like it", why should i have problem?
But if anyone says "i hate overdramatic songs, but i love Molitva",
its like i am saying i hate ethnic dance songs, but i love My number one, its something else, very special.

Really? :'D Feelings and passion are the last things I would associate with something as calculated and shallow as this.

What makes this song "calculated" and "shallow" unlike any other song? :?

This song stands out against everything else chosen so far. For me, the first real contender of the year!
It builds brilliantly, their voices are incredible, they have a great look and the song really does leave its mark. They're the first real favourites to win 2015 Eurovision.
Thanks Italy. ;)

There is a difference between overdramatic and overdramatic. You can't really compare those songs imho.

Molitva is dramatic and for sure you cannot say that it's subtle. But for me it feels authentic and pure when Marija sings it. Even after 8 years it gives me goose bumps, I realized it again yesterday at the Serbian national final.

Grande amore is the total opposite for me though. Instead of goose bumps I rather want to puke. It just feels pompous, schmaltzy, over-the-top and calculated to me.

Sorry, no offense meant against the entry or everyone who likes it, it's obvious that a lot of fans feel different and I'm happy for everyone who likes it, but for me it's a big "no".

I'm certainly not a fan! It reminds me far too much of the Latvian entry from 2007..? :'(
Perhaps I'm just disappointed, cause I expect to much of the Italians after the high standards in the last couple of years

This is going to win, sadly.

Well, maybe the fact last year Austria won will stop this one win, cause compositions are quite similar..I hope they will go for smth different this time..
