My absolute favorite this year. Together with Greece, France, Croatia I’m rooting for all of them! But I think this will be my number one this year.

Angelina slayed again in Croatia.
All the hosts were singing La Noia

She slayed. It's such a difficult song to sing 'live'. The breathing control while balancing the speed of her singing and still have to sound great. I hope she is rewarded for the vocal ability to still sing and move around with such ease without sounding strained or breathless. I have high hopes.

My only hope is that the Italy's delegation please put some effort to the staging to elevate the song even more. They can't just rely on Angelina's talent when the contest is so wide open.

If there is a song that I can behind the win, it's going to be Italy. I really don't mind Italy taking the win, out of the forerunners, I feel this is the least divisive one. I am sure ESC fans would not be unhappy with her win. I am upgrading this song to a :10:.

A shocking low 6 points from me. Yes, I admit I‘m not the biggest fan of the song. Not at all. 6 points because Angelina is such a great performer and it’s fun to watch her act and dance and she sings it so well.
But the song is really annoying, especially the La noia part and the accordion. Too fast, too repetitive and already heard dozens of times in classical music and in various pieces of pop culture.

You seem to be very prepared and depply into this field. Can you explain to us common mortals, giving real examples and not generic phrases, what do you mean by "accordion heard dozens of times in classic music and in various pieces of pop culture".

For me it's not original. I listened to the usual 7 musical notes. Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si. Nothing new xcrazy

Not my style of music really but I like it quite a lot. I listen to the song almost every day now. I don't really see it as the overall winner, but does it deserve (at least) a top 5 result? Oh yes it does.

10 points.

The leak of the stand-in performance damaged Angelina's momentum, I fear

Naaah... Stand in's are stand in's. Usually they give a hint of what the performance might be, but not more (and actually, every delegation every year comes with more than one idea). It's not Angelina Who has lost momentum, Just others gained some because of their rehearsals.

By that I mean that the accordion parts (the tone row) has been heard in various songs or classic pieces. Sometimes in another pace or another instrument but I miss the novelty. People are getting excited about that part because they haven’t listen to anything like that but in reality it’s not new. It’s basically a classic Italian piece in a new guise.

Also the instrumentals in the verses are pretty much common melodies in Latino music.

It’s just my personal opinion why I gave it 6 points only. Feel free to disagree.

However, Loreen's sounds are new!

I do feel free to disagree because what you wrote is so generic and is valid for all the songs of this edition, even for the your preferred ones ( I read your comments in different threads) .
There is not a single composition with accordions or structures we haven't heard before.
