Italy ITALY 2015 - Il Volo - Grande amore

[VikingTiger]

I'm really not buying this huge Italian pastiche of a song. I wonder if many will in the end.
I can actually see it sinking to the humilliating last places in the final, just like Georgia did in 2013.

I will still be bying this in May. And I am quite sure I will not be the only one. If one does not like this style of music, ok. But there are enough others that do. And I think the quality of the song is good! The guys are cute, they look good together on stage and they can sing - that helps too. And yes; the italian language will be an extra bonus!
Sinking to the humiliating last places? Hardly...
But, by the way; what does Georgia 2013 has to do with the matter??

It just hit me it's the same sort of thing, when you discount the language. And it is

Considering the different internet polls, this is a potential winner. But I have my doubts. Reminds me of the hype around Vassily Amaury... I think though it will have a much better place in the end than he had.

This said, I quite like the song. It's not my fave, but in my top 5 so far....

I guess the main similarity between both songs are the fact they sound too "pre-manufactured" (as someone said earlier), too "meant for Eurovision", even though Grande Amore is much better than Waterfall composition-wise imo. I wouldn't have complained about that choice if it had come from another country, because San Remo seems to be generally at an other level and the lineup had some real contenders for the first place.

That's just my opinion, I kinda like Grande Amore, but I do see a difference of quality between this song and most of the other Italian entries this year, it lacks genuineness.

As if the song's not good enough, here's an added bonus!

I don't know, I just find Georgia 2013 too formulaic and cliched.
For starters, this isn't sung in English and that makes a difference. Italian is the perfect language for love songs IMO it just has that special something

 

[DiabloRoma]

Well, I wanna tell some of you that our songs must be composed to win Sanremo, first. It was meant to "win Sanremo", first, and now it's meant to "do something" in Eurovision - it's still unknown what's our "something". I hope it's "something better" (sorry, Softengine...)

Expected! It would have been a shame to change it, however I wonder what they'll cut to reach 3mins.

I've got a couple of ideas on this...

 

[Carrie]

I can't forgive Italy for Annalisa not winning. She can do no wrong; all of her songs are perfect.

If you talked about Scintille, you could be completely right, unfortunatly this one is very very average

 

[Iuris]

Italy made the right choice!

 

[makkillottu]

Yesterday I told you all the song reached 5 millions views on YouTube.... well, it's 5 millions and 600k! LOL
