San Marino SAN MARINO 2018 - Jessika ft. Jenifer B - Who We Are

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

And the song "Stay" sucks! Get lost Zoe! If this wins, i'm going to be so annoyed!

If it does, it will definitely "Stay" in the semi in Lisbon. Whoever sings it, it remains a bad song imo

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

Who We Are is the one Come on San Marino, cannot wait to hear it in studio with beat.

Are Irols verses rly that problematic? I mean chorus of Italian entry is 2 years old and EBU still accepted it. Anyway I believe in Irol to come up with new verses just as good.

Re: SAN MARINO 2018



Tinashe Makura should go with "We are one"! 1

"Free Yourself" is GREAT, and i like it performed by him, but "We are one" was MASTERPIECE!

I still hope it's Tinashe Makura for Lisbon!

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

I also believe in Irol... I just hope someone informs him

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

I really hope they go for IROL feat. Basti. Unique combination of two great, yet totally different male voices.

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

Haven't heard all of them so far, but for the moment I'm most impressed by Sebastian.

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

Sara de Blue's voice

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

How could they get rid of "Stuck Without Me"?1 San Marino don't want to be my number 1. I'll still root for Irol and Jessika's other song together, but I need a studio version of it to decide how I truly feel. I don't like Irol's other song with that guy. Kind of meh.

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

Sara de Blue's voice

I've just re-listened to "Out Of The Twilight" because I wasn't sure about whether I liked it or not, and I'm digging it eventually. It's melodically superior to "Until The Morning Light" and more special imo: it sounds less "standard" chord-progression-wise. I look forward to the final arrangements because it does have a 70's vibe to it somehow, so I wouldn't mind a slightly retro-ish dark varnish. However, I hope they won't overdo it, it has to remain relatively balanced because Sara's voice can do wonders and should remain the leading element, it would be a shame to drown her in loud music (unless there is an alternative rock revamp coming up which would be interesting too actually).

Again, her vocal tone and way of singing remind me of Evanescence's Amy-Lee at times (not the same obviously, but there are some similarities), clearly she could give a special performance in Lisbon. It'll all come down to the arrangements now, I like the backing vocalists who add some depth halfway through the composition, however she must work on her ad-libs, as I feel she slightly got carried way with them here, but I'm confident she will fix that for the final. She's a magnetic performer anyway, I see lots of potential for the contest.

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

The two """""best"""" songs in this horrendous line-up have been paired with the two singers who already worked with the producers before and are set up to win this whole thing since the beginning. I'm not surprised at all. I still think it's Jenifer Brening, but I would prefer Sara De Blue between those two.

New verses are needed, just because now that duet is so cringe I can't even. They sing about two completely different things, he comes up with "Do you live with the music or are you working as a barman? - There is who works, who does nothing, who falls in love with buttocks, while the bank account swims against the tide"

I really like that song ("Cardiopalma") but it has nothing to do with Jessika's parts.

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

Now I had time to listen to all of them. Still prefering Sebastians version of „Stay“

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

Emma Sandström's Diamonds is amazing

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

This NF is so underrated.
Out of the twilight is my jam !
I think it will sound AMAZING after the production.
Dİamonds could also be nice after the real version.

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

Regarding the crowdfunding/shareholders project, people apparently can invest money on songs they'd like to have shares of for 70 years (!) via this website. It is said the money will be used to increase the quality of the production of all the final studio versions of the songs - before they get released digitally - and cover both the marketing and promotional expenses of the winning Sammarinese entry for Eurovision.

The sums of money invested as of now are the following (considering there are 12 days left before the project ends and 8000 euros per candidate is the maximum goal...)

Sara De Blue: 1920 euros
Franklin Calleja: 320 euros
Basti: 200 euros
Jessika: 160 euros
Judah Gavra: 160 euros
Giovanni Montalbano: 80 euros
Emma Sandström: 40 euros
Jenifer Brening: 40 euros
Camilla North: 0 euros
IROL: 0 euros
Tinashe Makura: 0 euros

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

Yesterday I decided to listen to the 11 finalists with no expectations at all and I have to say that selection is pretty good. Above all Sara de Blue and Basti (Stay). With Sara, San Marino has a big chance to sail through the finals with no difficulty at all, which I am happy for!

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

My clear favourite is "Who We Are" by Irol and Jessika!

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

The fans spoke, and we listened. Please see attached for updated voting rules for the #1in360 finals.

In summary:

• Zoe Straub will no longer have a vote in the jury decision.

• The public vote will be given the same weight as the jury vote (only in case of a tie the jury prevails).

• There will only be one “pay” vote (not, as is currently the case, two – crowd investment via Global Rockstar and Paypal voting).

See you at the #1in360 finals.

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

How many times will they change the rules? Well, at least, it seems fairer now imo.

So, Zoë has been cancelled Still I don't want "Stay" as the winning song. They don't really say who will be part of the "panel of industry music experts", I thought it would be the same jurors we saw on TV.

So there won't be real votes after all? The televoting points will be calculated according to how much and how quickly each candidate is crowdfunded... Well, on one hand it's a good incentive to boost donations, but that also means people won't vote according to the live performances or final versions of the songs... That's a bit strange imo, but at least they're trying to do something to make up for the fact they can't deal with normal televoting procedures.

In other words, the first artist to reach 8000 euros wins the televotes. My little finger tells me it's not a difficult one to guess.

It remains to be seen how the juries vote and how it'll blend with the televoting part.

Re: SAN MARINO 2018

Looking forward for when they announce during the final results that the NF is cancelled all together and they're sending another Siegel written super hit.
