Dear god yes theres hope!!! I will literally cry tears of joy if she goes back to "Per Sempre". Something in my heart told me the change of song didnt feel right and now Nina has comfirmed it. She wants to perform "Per Sempre" and who wouldnt to be honest. Incredible song.

However it won't be "Per Sempre" as we know it, those news more or less confirms an all-English version for ESC (no matter which song) :(

And you know... changing the language will also change the song so even if it'll be "Per Sempre" it'll still be a "new" song.

I know, but it's a lesser evil. As for now, there is still hope to have "Per sempre" (or "Forever") in the contest, at the cost of a (hopefully faithful) translation of the lyrics.

I don't agree, I'd rather keep this entry in Italian than having "Per sempre" in English.

Bringing back "Per Sempre" = GREAT idea xcheer

To do it in 100% English = BAD idea :(

Why not do a 50% Italian and 50% English version? it worked well last year for Raphael Gualazzi.

@A-Lister

Thats very sad obviously although Nina Zilli's english is perfect at least. Id just be delighted to have the song back as it evoked feelings inside of me I hadnt felt since "Et Sil Fallait Le Faire". I was looking forward to the english version of "Per Sempre" anyway although of course id rather she would sing it in italian if she were to take it to the Eurovision stage.

Franco This year a lot of songs so slow, and the other gay, one must dilute the competition a little bit. Although I like both songs are equally

But in English it won't even be the same song really and have the same atmosphere.

It's like "Oh the public wanted 'Per sempre' let's bring it back but... in English that majority didn't want" .. such weird argumentation.

What happened to atleast partly Italian?

I know, it won't be will it :( The music will still be there, Nina will still be there but the beautiful italian language won't. I do not understand why they would want to go full english for the performance. I feel absolutely nothing for "L'amore è femmina" though and that is such a great shame after weeks of falling in love with Nina and her music.. so I would take "Per Sempre" back with open arms whatever the language.

It's such good news of Nina bringing back 'Per sempre' to the contest, I hope they keep it like last year, 50/50 italian - english.....

So which one is it? "Per Sempre" or Boom-boom?

Please let it be "Per Sempre" and I promise I won't torture animals for a month. :mrgreen:

Did they get jealous of attention San Marino caused last night? :D

Back to Per Sempre would be dream come true, extremely happy and happy dancing with Per Sempre 100% Italian.
I tweeted UniversalItalia with my opinion ;D Not that they care about opinion from non-participating country :lol:

I like both of her songs so whichever one she chooses will still make a great Italian entry imo.

But the plan is to either go back to "Per sempre" but in 100% ENGLISH or keep this in 100% ENGLISH!! :(

But they've still not decided, so it remains to be seen what they're gonna do. If they're smart they'll make a 50/50 version. (in my opinion 100% Italian would work fine in this song, but I can understand their strategic thinking). Hopefully they read these forums too.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

And maybe they will keep the Boom Boom song after all (which would be :mad: for me)

So we wait and see. I hope for a wise decision.

I prefer L'Amore e Femmina over Per Sempre, although both are good entries.
