Time for my reviews

I expected a lot from Italian entry and I was hoping for Anna Tatangelo, Nathalie, Emma or Giusy ... and after I heard their entry, I didn't like it so gave it 0 pts ...

Video, the song's title has been translated to Madness Of Love and the song is pretty much 50/50 between Italian and English

An absolutely great entry, I can't decide between France and Italy, it's just a matter of taste in the end!

This song keeps growing and growing on me. I'm sure it'll be in my top 5 after I've taken my time to listen through all the songs.

Come on Italy!!! after all these years of waiting, and this is what we get?! BOOO

Very good song... I'm surprised why so many say it's "not an ESC song"... wonder what an ESC should be... Will surely go high on May 14th. Rank it number 4. Best of luck to Italy!

Actually, they can't decide! When it is an "ESC song" they say "it's nothing special... it's nothing new..."! When it's different, they say "it's not an ESC song"! Come on, decide! This song will do extremely well, trust me, no matter how much hatred the eurofans show to it! They wouldn't be satisfied even if Italy sent Eros Ramazzotti or Laura Pausini! They'd say again that either it's not a ESC song, or it's nothing special!

By the way, in the new video clip, Monica Belucci appears! Why don't bring her on stage in ESC? She can be in front of the piano while Rafael is singing! Just standing there and smiling! Hehehe 3

They still need to shorten the song. It is great. For a person who isn't fond of the Italian entries and didn't hype the comeback of Italy, Italy has done an outstanding job with this entry. The more you hear it, the more you love it. And yes this should do really well, possibly a top10 along with UK, France could end in top10 or just outside of it. I wish I could say the same for the other two of the Big 5.

1 point. A snooze-fest for me. The one point is only because I'm so happy to see Italy returning and that they're performing in Italian at least in part.

 

[Tjipptjopp]

I'm sorry I can't stand jazz or whatever this is.. my ears bleed. Maybe they want italy to finish last so they can withdraw again?

The song is pure class, hope it gets some appreciation from the juries at least.

 

[Rusch]

I hope so also. We are all know, this is not the winner song this year, but still one of the best.

 

[A-lister]

Shouldn't the ESC version be released? This one is still too long.

 

[doctormalisimo]

not my sort of song, but i can see old people all across europe voting for this.

One of the things that most annoys me is how people automatically equate jazz with class. It's just not the case. for me most jazz is bad but this is just fairly dull
