Re: SAN MARINO 2014 - Valentina Monetta

This is beyond awful. Someone has already called it a fossil and that is about right. Old fashioned can be smart if it bears some kind of novelty twist that winks at you to show it was purposefully done.
This just feels like a wreck from a bygone time that the waves accidently brought on the beach.

Re: SAN MARINO 2014 - Valentina Monetta

I'm beginning to like the song quite a bit more, but it simply HAS to be in Italian. The English version just doesn't work at all.

I see my long lost twin has been actively hacking accounts on here lately! Luv it!

I'm sorry detractors, but in my opinion, this song has quite a good chance of reaching the final. Iceland, Albania, latvia, Netherlands, Montenegro and Estonia are weaker... that's just my opinion though.

Gosh I was just about to leave a comment stating how I was starting to enjoy the English version more as the lyrics were poignant and Valentina's voicer rawer but it's probably not safe to at this moment.








I'll wait until he leaves xwhistle

Sure, it may not be as strong as the 2013 song, but neither have many of the other countries picked better songs this year compared to their songs last year.

Oh love it!!!! Not as good as Crisalide but still great. Thank you San Marino for these songs! This reminds me to the typical Italian songs that I love. Thats why this can't be in English!!!!!

I'll give big 12 points when the poll is up! xyaay

Re: SAN MARINO 2014 - Valentina Monetta

For some reason it reminds me of this awesome Dschinghis Khan song which incidentally Ralph Siegel also produced.






Everyones probably looking at me weirdly for such a comparison but the song gives me major Dschinghis Khan vibes in certain parts, just Valentina's song is obviously a ballad.

Re: SAN MARINO 2014 - Valentina Monetta


This is AMAZING! xlove



Hmmmm! I'm not 100% sold to this. Sure, it's better than "Crisalide" and in a weak year like the current one, it deserves the top ten. But I think that it's 1 minute too long; the last minute is quite repetitive, IMHO.
Furthermore, this is still not 100% Valentina, IMHO. For some reason, I think she's more like the kind of this other "Forse":

I'd recommend to listen it loudly to feel much better strong impression of this song. It's like better to drink Cola cold, but not a warm.

Re: SAN MARINO 2014 - Valentina Monetta

I think it started out very well, but I kept on waiting for a chorus that never came, so eventually it turned out to bore me :s
Crisalide was much better!

Please keep this in Italian. It just works soooo much better that way.

Re: SAN MARINO 2014 - Valentina Monetta

...not even in the 90's it would do well.

Anyways, when it comes to damage control they should keep it in Italian, her pronunciation is quite bad in the English version. :/

:eek: The snippet wasn't so impressive, but some parts of "Forse" are really great xlove Queen V is back on track. "Vola" was my favourite last year, this is far from that, tho. :(
