SAN MARINO 2013 - Valentina Monetta - Crisalide

[Terence]

Exactly. I still reckon this should have gone through, but vocally this was sadly off-key in parts.

I STILL LOVE YOU MY QUEEN

 

[JTL90]

Pity, I really wanted this song to be in Final.

Hopefully San Marino doesn't withdraw from the Eurovision.

 

[Nicfedy]

I think they probably will. Valentina won't want to go again. It's like Andorra, some good songs never qualified.

 

[Franco]

Singing in languages other than english doesn't pay off and tonight we had the proof!
Valentina should revert back to singing in english next year.

 

[euronut]

Come on people, she has perfromed better but was still better than the rubbish from Armenia, Greece and Romania. Sick of diaspora voting being responsible for many excellent songs never reaching the final.

 

[cegs5]

Well, Iceland, Greece and Hungary qualified and tjey are not in English.
Let's face it, Valentina's performance was weak and öack of emotions.

 

[Kristi]

Still can't believe it..

Hopefully San Marino doesn't withdraw from the Eurovision.

I don't think there is any other likely outcome. Who is going to want to sing for them knowing that they need to have the next Euphoria or Fairytale just to qualify? And why would a small broadcaster like San Marino's want to pay for entry to a contest they clearly can't win?

 

[Franco]

Poor Valentina! I can't imagine how is she feeling right now.

half of the fee is paid by RAI

This was never going to qualify and it had little to do with it being from San Marino. Maybe Azerbaijan or Russia could've qualified with this, but they'd probably stage a great show for it at least. This is a bad song with a terrible staging. I know it has fans and I honestly don't understand where it comes from, but objectively speaking, it stood little chance of qualifying regardless of who would've sent it.

 

[Terence]

RAINY WOODS..... I need a hug

 

[Musicosity]

It wasn't the language, and it wasn't the lack of diaspora. Valentina is an excellent pure-blood-singer, she has proven she can create moments that are just magic. But the song wasn't really up to the task, and so it was a close thing from the beginning. The flaws in the performance did the rest.

haha yeah MAYBE.....

No Euphoria or Fairytale can give them qualification... no "friends" = no "party".
I think they will withdraw and I can't blame them...

 

[ESC]

I'm completely shocked. It was my 2nd fav. No I'm going to cry. 1

 

[Mrm]

What was I telling you all this time, who on the Earth can vote for this!?? Really who? No voting system can help this..

 

[grazy2266]

Such a shame San Marino didn't get through tonight, I really thought they would the song was brilliant and ive liked it for months i thought most of Europe did too, but I'm wrong. Unlucky San Marino

Eurovision 2014 without San Marino, Croatia, Monte Negro, Slovenia, maybe Bulgaria, Austria and Switzerland. NEXT YEAR WILL BE HORRIBLE!!!!

 

[euronut]

If you want to blame anyone blame the diaspora vote. This was responsible for Valentina's downfall. If she had sung for Greece she would be in the final with ease.
