She rocks the stage, what a proffesional performance

Bravo Emma, bravo Italia

 

[Matt]

16. Italy
Matt: Ouch, too many bad notes especially the chorus. It seems that she is trying to be energetic and then loses focus and misses notes left and right. It wasn't the most pleasant performance. Oh, and that outfit is hideous.
Ahmet: She is trying to shout too much and is unable to control her voice. At some points I can only hear the backup singers.

EscXtra disagrees

16 Italy
The fireworks effect at the very start is really good! Emma is wearing a rather weird white dress with golden and silver crystals and stones. Emma's face is on the backdrop. She gives a very powerful vocal performance, and the backing vocals sound perfectly well together with her, and make her vocals even more powerful! I struggle to see the point of her crawling on stage before the final chorus. More fireworks that look really good, and make an even bigger 'bang' on stage.

Although i like both songs

16. ITALY – EMMA – LA MIA CITTÀ
Olivier: Glam rock for Italy this year! Emma is very professional and gives a flawless performance of “La mia Città”. I’ve like this song for month now, and the live performance is just great. A bit too Italian maybe. For once the Italian entrant gives a real show, and that’s great. Good reactions in the press centre.
Stefan: The land that gave us so much delicious food – Italy. Emma and her band look just amazing in their white and gold costumes. She is singing in Italian, and how can you not love that language. There are some moments where her voice goes electric, what makes her sound sexy. In the end we have some fireworks. Very good reception by the crowd. Since Italy came back, this is the first song that deserves to win.

And ESCKaz didn't say anything about a bad performance.
I heard the audio streaming of escXtra and followed all the rehearsals, and I think this was her best.

 

[Gerly]

It was vocally better this time than any other rehearsals. Can't tell anything about the visual side, because I didn't see it =D But I am really looking forward to, because I am sure it will be amazing.

 

[Jim]

Before the rehearsals, I was saying that Italy was just ok, now from the rehearsals, I really like Emma! Good luck to Italy! I guess a top 10 place this year too!

 

[Scooby]

They always do

All others disagrees too

Not in here but as said, comments are subjective. We will find out soon enough how the juries felt. I will make my way around the press center soon and gather overall impressions.

Ahmet: She is trying to shout too much and is unable to control her voice.

Really? That's something unheard of.

 

[StellaStai]

Good Luck tonight Italy. Quite sure you will end up in top 10.

 

[DaFlo]

Good luck Emma and Italy!
