Re: SAN MARINO 2012 - Valentina Monetta - Facebook, Uh, Oh, Oh

In less than 5 minutes or so, after the song being announced by SMRTV, the Eurovision official website posted tne news about San Marino's entry. They knew about it; they were just waiting for the announcement. If this gets disqualifed is because of "injustice" claims, concerning the rules (equal rules for everybody, blah blah). I believe EBU isn't ready to handle the presure if it happens. But I'm sure they knew about the Facebook uh oh oh thing LOL.

No you're wrong, they post news but that's another thing. They posted news about entries in the past that were changed due to breaking the rules. They even posted rumors about Atomic Kitten entering for the UK :lol:

It's when they'll submit the entry where they'll have a committee that will either accept or ask them to make some changes.

I'm sure they did. I have only one explanation if it doesnt get disqualified: Facebook has already paid for it and EBU enjoys it's cut already :lol:
Oh and people who review the songs officially and people who run the site are different people so i'm sure the officials will take care of this violation.

No no no, he was wrong. EBU doesn't have any say in the entries in our national selections, they only judge the submitted ones.

Hum, I'm not sure about internal selection. Wasn't the song already sent to EBU before this announcement? I tought that was the policy. That's why I said they knew about it. Maybe not, I'm not sure.

Re: SAN MARINO 2012 - Valentina Monetta - Facebook, Uh, Oh, Oh

This has already been reposted by someone on my Facebook (uh oh oh)

I think its the start of something big :lol:

Actually, as I wrote before, from a marketing/promoting point of view, San Marino is really genius this year.

They know that chances for them are extremely low, but now they had people talking atleast.

Re: SAN MARINO 2012 - Valentina Monetta - Facebook, Uh, Oh, Oh

They should change the lyrics to "Network, Uh, Oh, Oh". This way they can keep this brilliant piece of art without risking disqualification :lol:

Network would work good in the place of "Facebook" and not out of place at all.

Go for it San Marino gooo! xcheer

The song is against the rules. That is fact. If the EBU does nothing, then I expect other countries to protest about it. It's just a cheap way to get attention. Attention they will get regardless of whether this gets thrown out or not. From that perspective it is a stroke of genius.

Not if they change "Facebook" to "Network" ;)

And yes, this IS genius! We're all fooled! Everyone were awaiting some sleepy elevator-jazz and a sure non-qualifier from San Marino again, this way they got people even know about the country's existence! :lol:

What I'm saying, is that AT THE MOMENT this song is illegal. Who's to say they don't have an edited version conveniently standing by? And judging by this forum, the song is having the desired effect. People are talking about it.

Well, it's not "illegal" :lol: , it's just against EBU's rules of brand-marketing.

Actually it's getting better! (mods prepare yourself to adjust the title once more!)

It's actually: "Facebook, Uh, Oh, Oh.(A Satirical Song)" :lol:

I guess they really want to stress that it's a joke entry afterall (as if it wasn't obvious already!?) :lol:
