Nice song, a bit oldfashioned. top 10 in Rotterdam. 5 points.

 

[0scar]

Outdated and boring, can't remember it a second of it actually while I listened to it just a couple of minutes ago
Definitely not my cup of tea, curious to see how this will fare in Rotterdam

 

[sucof]

I already miss, i cry

If we sent the festival theme song to eurovision, maybe we would have at least reached the top 3

Ok, I slept, I re-listened, I reassessed... and I am in a similar position as Rainy, only because of different songs.

I still think Francesco was the better option. I had about 8 songs I liked better - for instance in direct comparison, I think a kinda similar Dov'è from Le Vibrazioni had a little more of an instant impact. I am baffled how the juries consistently keep ditching the huge televote faves (and I am especially surprised that can happen when Francesco and PTN combined got almost 80% of the televote!). But who am I to be butthurt, when Sanremo's level of competition is this insane.

Fai rumore is great! I am not 100% convinced by the verses, but the chorus is to die for. Once it kicks in, my soul just melts away and all my doubts are gone. Feel free to hate it, because it is another Italian ballad, but it is a great one, so - screw you! This is might not win, but it is gonna do very well.

Have a (for now), , and welcome to my n°1 spot so far.

the juries last year made Mahmood win

 

[HayashiM]

the juries last made Mahmood win

And they repeated that this year with Diodato, who only got 23,9% from the televote, while Francesco got 39% and PTN 37%. That's precisely what I am talking about

 

[gingerale]

I listened to the song and when it ended I realised I didn't pay attention. So not my kind of entry. 4 points.

 

[mauve]

When I get goosebumps while listening to a song, I fall in love. (Ha! And don't say thereare goosebumps because a song can be so terrible - cause you are right, you haters ) But the chorus .. o lala. And I love the passion about the whole song. Could be in my top 3 this year.

 

[ESC94]

Well, I´m making it short: , by far my favourite entry so far, I´m deeply moved by this song.

Grazie mille !!

Middle of the road

 

[Mrm]

This is shapeing as a great year! I like all chosen entries, except poor Spain!

Eurovision is clearly consisting of two main camps, the "conservatives" (backed up by the juries in ESC) that wouldn't mind a contest filled with only conventional ballads, and the "progressives" (backed up more by the televoters in ESC) that don't mind more contemporary, risky and/-or national motived entries... unfortunately Sanremo (and also FiK in Albania) are contests that cater mostly to the first group, and we can see division here in the fanbase as well, we had a contemporary fresh entry in Andromeda but we ended up with a dated meh ballad instead.

As things are going, the "conservatives" are winning the battle over ESC (with the help of juries), Italy was onto something the last couple of years, so I hoped they would finally step into the new millenium, but unfortunately we are now back to what Italy usually was and entries like Mahmood might have been just some temporary fluke for Italy and ESC. The contest may be entering 2020, but it looks more and more like the 1980s when it was dominated by conventional ballads.

I woke up humming the chorus and that means something (at least to me!). The only reason I'm giving it 10pts is only because Rancore would be a clear 12.
This could change though, I'm already loving it..

Excuse me, but this is absolutely ridiculous. There are loads of people here, me included, that loves a variety when it comes to ESC. We can't have a year filled with ballads (like 2015), that makes it boring. But you can't have a year filled with entries that is just uptempo and has no emotional feel to it. The six songs that has been selected so far has been very far from each other genrewise. We got the modern radiofriendly popbanger (), the more eurovision-friendly version of it (), the afrobeat pop (), the dramatic ballad (), the crazy and over the top dubstep-rap-pop-madness () and now the typical Italian ballad with a slight touch of the 90s ().

I often read your comments and throughout the years I just can't understand...What is it you want then? You don't want songs to be old-fashioned, but you hate often on the modern pop songs, especially if they are in english. You don't want ballads, but to be honest, it is quite rare I see you support the most uptempo songs either. You have a lot of opinions, and that is great, we all have different opinions and is of course welcome to have those, but I just want to know what kind of contest you want? Cause sometimes I just don't understand what you are after.

And for all the others here that has written, not only here but in other places in the forum, about people faking to like something and such, that is absolutely ridiculous and not even funny, even if it is meant as a joke.

Maybe I'm just simply diagnosed with schizophrenia?

But you're right, I also want variety, but maybe I see injustice when old fashioned ballads are picked over songs that actual feel like they have something going for them in this time and age and would bring some credibility to the contest... to me it's a lost opportunity for ESC as a contest and brand.

Oh, and you're also right, I don't automatically like uptempo songs or dislike ballads, it's more about musical styles and the direction of ESC for me.

I'm not sure what "modern songs" you refer to? Often the Pop songs sent to ESC feel at least 5 years behind...

Was the "faking" comment directed at me?

I don't think the division is that clear. I love me a ballad and I love me some risky entry, national motives are great as well... Provided these entries are actually good in their genre (subjectively according to my taste of course). Amar Pelos Dois, Zero Gravity, La Venda, Spirit in the Sky, Occidentalis Karma, Fuego, Az én apám... All are my s and I am sure I am not alone (not with s for these particular songs, but rather with - hopefully - not really focusing on the genre or the modern / conservative divide first).

 

[ESC94]

I generally don´t like this "camp mentality" and also wouldn´t consider myself as part of either camp. I really love ballads, but also enjoy uptempo songs and sometimes even a good disco track.

That's the right approach, and I hope that a majority are like this, but there is still a division among certain parts of the community and I feel it's been growing stronger unfortunately... especially with the juries who clearly plays into this division since they are less open minded and diverse.

This. Perhaps some people truly feel the need to come to a dedicated Eurovision forum (e. g., a space that is largely anonymous, as much as it is intimate to an extent) to showcase their pretentious taste about things they don't even like - but IMO, such people had already written Eurovision off, they don't really give a damn about it. This concept doesn't really make much sense to me.

Edit: to answer @A-lister's question, this is not directed at you, but rather follows up on a few posts a couple pages back.
