Albanians are white and there was no migrant crisis in 1999. Different times, different climate. But...I have already accepted another member's argument that the main reason isn't where Mahmood's father is from, so let's please let go of what I said and continue this conversation in the usual, music theme.

Also, in one way, I'm sorry that I mentioned politics and turned the conversation that way. But then I'm also not, because the above mentioned member changed my opinion about everything that happened with the votes. This just proves how we can only benefit from having a discussion and open minds and ears to different opinions. To not just read/listen to respond, but to try to understand the other side. I hope Mahmood is now in his safe place, making his decision about the participation (if he hasn't made it yet) by isolating himself from the noise that can only make him more nervous and make his decision making more difficult. And I really, really hope we will see him in Tel Aviv.

If Mahmood accepts going to Eurovision, Italy would have my 12 points at this moment. If Ultimo goes.. well.. he'll be my último on the list then just for all this stupid drama. (I'm not the only one who made this joke, I know).

Moreover, "I tuoi particolari" has nothing special. Sounds like many other thousand ballads sung in Italian. The song lacks of personality. What a shame it seems he also lacks of humilidity.

Soldi is quite a modern and fresh song. It brings something new and different to the festival and it's indeed a good song. Mahmood's singing is not that bad by the way. Pretty decent effort from Italy. They will do better with Mahmood rather than Ultimo.

I'm sorry, I didn't know about this... I guess it's because this country was too busy with our own 90's troubles, so to speak... :( And I was so little, I was barely talking...

But to really go on from this...what confuses me, why EBU and everyone else published that Mahmood will participate in Eurovision if he hasn't confirmed it yet? They know that Italy doesn't always send the winner, so one would think that they would wait before publishing that. Also, if Mahmood accepted almost right away without being 100% sure about it, that...I don't know how to feel about that.

"Se Mahmood" is trending on Twitter in Italy with 15k+ tweets, first position. It is tied to his doubts about Eurovision partecipation and people is trying to tell him to accept and not give up about the political annoiances and Ultimo's acid mouth.

So, if you wanna use it to tell him to go without any doubt... start with "Se Mahmood non va all'Eurovision" (meaning "If Mahmood doesn't go to Eurovision...")

I'm going to hold off rating this entry until we know for sure that he is going to Tel Aviv
