Sometimes less is more, I think something like their Sanremo performance would suit it just fine. Complicating the staging can ruin the song and distract people - Ireland 2014 is an example with those dancers. With a good running order place the song will manage to pretty much carry itself.

Thank you for your opinion, very interesting. Could you tell me more about the running order, please? It seems important but I fail to see why. It is about televoting isn't it?

Thank you for this video! I don't know why on the RAI website the performance of the first night has been deleted and there are only a fewminutes of the other, strange decision... :?
.

The same happened to Nek performances, I have checked! Also in his case on RAI.tv there is just a minute cut from a single episode in the place of the other videos! It seems like a technical problem or a mistake? I want to write to RAI to complain.

Regarding this performance, they were full of emotion, as they presented themselves before their whole country for the first time. I think Sanremo has been their hardest stage ever. In some way, it is good to see that after more than five years of career and countless concerts, they are still able to be moved.

Well the running order is important to how well you do. Historically the winner usually comes from position 17 to 22, but they can come from outside of that, like Conchita was 11th in the running order last year. Going first and second in the running order are seen as death slots, because with 26/27 songs people usually forget the first few - Uptempo songs like Ukraine 2014 can manage to survive the early slot and go on to do well but usually slow ballads like United Kingdom 2012 cannot and need a later slot to have any impact otherwise they do really badly. Going last is also seen as quite bad, because usually most people have already made up their minds on which song they like and are beginning to get bored of the song.

Lyrics of 3 minutes version

Chiudo gli occhi e penso a lei
Il profumo dolce della pelle sua
E' una voce dentro che mi sta portando dove nasce il sole
Sole sono le parole
Ma se vanno scritte tutto puς cambiare
Senza piω timore te lo voglio urlare questo grande amore
Amore, solo amore θ quello che sento
Dimmi perchι quando penso, penso solo a te
Dimmi perchι quando vedo, vedo solo te
Dimmi perchι quando credo, credo solo in te grande amore
Dimmi che mai
Che non mi lascerai mai
Dimmi chi sei
Respiro dei giorni miei d'amore
Dimmi che sai
Che solo me sceglierai Ora lo sai
Tu sei il mio unico grande amore
Dimmi perchι quando penso, penso solo a te
Dimmi perchι quando amo, amo solo te
Dimmi perchι quando vivo, vivo solo in te grande amore
Dimmi che mai
Che non mi lascerai mai.
Dimmi chi sei
Respiro dei giorni miei d'amore Dimmi che sai
Che non mi sbaglierei mai Dimmi che sei
Che sei il mio unico grande amore

Are there any good bands in Italy? It feels like Italian music scene is composed out of Sanremo artists. :'D

Lacuna Coil xheart



The entry is a good song and people will love it. top5 at least. but i think we can already prepare for Italy 2016. and then i hope for Bolzano 2016 :)

Giorni freddi e stupidi da ricordare
Maledette notti perse a non dormire altre a far l’amore

Amore, sei il mio amore
Per sempre, per me.

Dimmi perché quando penso, penso solo a te
Dimmi perché quando amo, amo solo te
Dimmi perché quando vivo, vivo solo in te grande amore
Dimmi che mai
Che non mi lascerai mai.
Dimmi chi sei

They cut the 'wink part' :'( my poor Gianluca xD
I'm kinda scared to ear this new version. Honestly. May it will surprise me, but could also be a HUGE dissapointment.

This Eurovision is bringing me one heartbreak after another!

Of course I am sad that they cut the second verse because I love every second of the song in its full version :( but it was the most logical thing to do.

The chorus is the best and most powerful part of the song. It really grabs and blows you away so cutting any of that would have been murder.

It will be strange to hear it in 3 minutes after listening to it like a million times in its full :lol: but I am certain it will still blow me away :cool:

I'm sad that they have to make the cut at all, really. I've thought for a while now that the Eurovision rules really should be extended to allow for songs up to 3:30 or 4:00. The flood of pop and simple ballads is, I think, largely a result of the 3:00 rule. Songs that are longer, more focused on building, or less instant generally - like Italy this year - need more time than that to fully flourish. In the absolute worst-case scenario, the change would add ~25 minutes to the broadcast; most likely, it'd add something like 5 or 10 minutes. Is that really such a big sacrifice to make to allow for a much wider range of songs and styles? :?

Still, I'm entirely satisfied with where they've made the cut. I'll be sad to hear that second verse go when we're able to listen to the new version, but it's clearly the smartest part to cut, allowing the song to keep both its slow build and explosive chorus.

Is the cut official? It's odd to have only one verse, they could have cut the second pre-chorus instead.

This is a new exhibition, they sing very well this song called ANCORA, even better of their song presented to Sanremo.
Amazing interpretation!
