San Marino SAN MARINO 2014 - Valentina Monetta - Maybe (Forse)

[A-lister]

I just received an email from Valentina Monetta's press folks and they also confirmed it's for sure going to be in English.

Well, should I tell people "I told you so" when the juries were brought back?...

This cultural and linguistic homogenization of EUROvision is really sucking the soul out of the whole contest...

Its amazing that a small country like San Marino has any performers at all..... In my opinion They can send Vallentina for the next 20 years...... but if they ever want to qualify for the final they should start paying for a composer and stop using a pensioner who no one else wants to use................... San Marino I am now a official hater....... my second 0 pts this year ...lets bake a cake!!

Don't allow A-Lister to read this but i'm really happy. The english version is beautiful and the lyrics touching. The last "Maybe" Valentina sings kills me each time, leaves a pain in my chest. The sense of longing. Also it's one of those songs where the English helps vocally make the song more powerful.

We could smell you coming from miles away

Take a look at the line-up in this year and tell me it's not tragic what's happened , each year we get less and less local and this is turning into just another music show like anything else out there

Yeah it really gets crappy, I start to agree now, I hope Poland will stay Polish, and Montenegro..France is full in French, Portugal as well, Italy too, Spain is bilingual, Slovenia is bilingual and that's it..

 

[Mozz]

For me it's all OK. The song is nice, not as strong as Crisalide or even the Facebook song (yep, my opinion), but I like it enough to put it in my top 5.

But just this: it's not forbidden to change composers every once in a while for Eurovision.

A-Lister actually arrives 2 minutes after Matt posts the confirmation of the English version being used2

He must have some kind of language detecting senses and they were obviously tingling.

I know right? I dunno why people are so happy about what's happening to ESC...

Yes, yes we all agree, you're preaching to the choir

You're such a gossip

 

[Mozz]

It's not necessary to turn almost every thread at a certain moment in every year into a language discussion :roll:

You will need to stop it though cause you're off topic all the time and enough is enough. Please feel free to talk about that in the thread specifically created for that. Thank you!

Mr. Woods I can assure you that the pain in your chest stops after the semifinals in Copenhagen...... until then I can recommend Reck's Earplugs..... they stop everything from the moment you start using them......

With the English version San Marino will not qualify. The Language is the magnificent in this song.
