Italy ITALY 2015 - Il Volo - Grande amore

[Jim]

Because EBU wants diversity, and everyone to be happy.

But they want to keep Italy inside ESC...

They can also keep them with a 2nd place

Il Volo special guest in the italian talent show "Amici" with a contestant, the rapper Mattia Briga:

Awful idea to combine pop-opera with rap :? Il Volo's part is perfect , Briga's part is... meh.

That was very odd

They were singing live or lip-syncing? I couldn't tell

They were singing live, the volume of their voices is different during the performance and in the end of the song the harmony is not like the studio version (...and the video is not well syncronized XD). However I'm glad that they are quite perfect, actually a good thing for the gran final on 23rd May!

Okay after watching it again I have to ask: What the hell did they make poor Piero wear :? What's with the strips xwhat

Also its too bad for the inclusion of the rap because they cut out the second verse and sang it like the ESC version

Lastly its nice to see them get an iTunes boost out of it, its up to #30 in Italy again after being below #60 earlier

He posted a picture in that suit on his Instagram a while back. Hated it then, hate it now. If Ignazio and Gianluca wore more casual outfits, why make Piero stick out like a sore thumb with a suit (no matter how ugly it may be)?

Yes I saw that picture on instagram over a month ago as well. I remember seeing it and thinking, "oh god please let that not be ESC related"

I'm starting to not like this anymore...it's just boring and overrated IMO.

 

[robotboy2]

i dont get why this is so popular. i mean i love this style, but their voices are annoying and the song is not that strong.

 

[Gordon_Shumway]

I feel the same way. Why is the Italian entry so popular? This is the greatest mystery for me in this year's ESC. The song is just boring but it's in the top 5 of every fan-voting I see around the internet. But can this phenomenon be explained by assuming 90%+ female voters who find these guys soooo cute?

Not just the female voters I reckon... But I would also disagree that the song is boring. I listened to it for the first time without video (so looks didn't come into it! ) and it just grabbed me as being rather powerful and strong. It can be seen as being guilty of many sins, but boring is surely not one of them!

I think Il Volo would be perfect winner for ESC, their song is amazing, it has "wow" factor. (Although I prefer "Fatti Avanti Amore")

As someone who loves the cheap song from Estonia we can't expect too much.

That's a little harsh! But I have to agree with you about Estonia...

I can't stop loving this song. 4897249732897235 points from me.

I really want to put a bet on Italy to win. I will wait til after the semis when the qualifiers have shorter odds and Italy will have better returns

I think its quite likely Italy will win
