I admire how Italy works for Eurovision. I mean, they've been for only three years after a long period of absence and they send the best they have every year (well, except Raphael Gualazzi maybe). Italy is a country where apparently most people don't give a s*it about Eurovision and still many famous artists want to go, while other countries (Spain, UK,.....etc) have nice audience ratings, but well known artists don't even think about ESC.
Emma was selected for ESC in 2012 after the winning of Sanremo but her music label said that she wasn't ready for it
It's amazing reading foreign people's opinion about her and about italian music, I've never tought that singers like Emma or Annalisa (I love her too) were so appreciated!

Maybe you will make a UK vote different in ESC one day, to vote for a bit different countries and entries they use to vote now.. UK is one of 3 countries that didn't give a single point to our winner "Molitva" in 2007, you actually never vote us.. Did you like Marco Mengoni last year?
