Italy and Sweden are called "overrated" much more often than Ukraine. I haven't seen people hating on Ukraine as often as the other two... possibly because of the war?Italy is not the only country that gets the "overrated" label, think of other successful countries such as Sweden (always branded - unfairly for me - as overrated plastic pop producer), or Ukraine (the amount of hate in 2022 was off putting, I fear it might repeat this year if they win).
This year is so uncertain. Something similar to 2019 and 2016 where the winners of jury and public voting, North Macedonia-Norway and Australia-Russia, didn't win the whole contest. We might have some surprises ( not saying Italy is amongst them). But I prefer years like this just to make it more thrilling. Last two years were so predictable.It's a great song, but I don't envision it as a winner.
Italy 2014 got a top 10 result.Tough and cool female acts were so far quite unsuccesful and yet usually quite often overrated. Some of them delivered most shocking NQ in the past. Italy this year also comes across as too cool for the party.

THE BEST. It's my favourite immediately after Greece.I love Sinceramente but still think La Noia is a better option.
