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

[henhu]

I changed my 8 points to 12. It has hugely grown on me and I like it more than Crisalide

The best thing about the lead up to Eurovision is Valentina Monetta interviews

She's so cute and beautiful. I didn't listen to "Maybe" yet, but I hope she'll reach the final this time.

WTF!!! :? :? :?

Because I'm sure I won't be disappointed. I loved her two previous efforts, with the same team it's very unlikely that's going to change.

After i watched perf. from Amsterdam I think we have the last place in semi..this really doesn't work on stage..i still like it a bit better than last year, but her vocals are shaky and perf. is so screaming NON QUALIFIER to me..

 

[greece]

I don't know why but in this performance Valentina reminds me 's "Cvet z juga"

Sorry, but I still fail to understand that approach, I really dislike it and find it a bit ridiculous.. :? But all right..

I really disliked Estonia in 2009, but I loved Sandra's entry this year A LOT..

Great live
I have already decided to vote for her, because other favourites have enough votes and I think she deserves the final this year.

I wish there was more diversity too. The problem is actually the artists not being brave enough. Generally the sophisticated songs get rewarded. "Madness of Love", "Suus", "Et Sil Fallait Le Faire" and "Birds" all did well despite not being typical Eurovision entries... Perhaps not quite as well as some of them deserved to do but still they achieved top 10 placings. The problem actually could be Eurovision itself. Artists capable of producing such songs as these seldom ever want to take part. The same with bands, most bands at Eurovision aren't too great (in my opinion).

I guess you're right. Most "original" artists, especially if they're established, don't want to take part either because they're afraid of losing credibility or just doing poorly depending on the country they're from. Even if a top ten placing is good for unconventional entries, it may be hard for some artists to be beaten by joke songs or rubbish : "Madness of Love" topped by "Running Scared", "Suus" topped by "Party for everybody", "Et s'il fallait le faire" topped by "This is our night", and "Birds" by "What If", etc.

None of them are joke entries or rubbish at all...

to be politically correct, I should have said "of lesser quality".

Mesmerising. The most sincere performer at Eurovision. You believe every word she sings.

I think the juries will be on board this year. The song is more solid and less of a mish mash of genres as "Crisalide" was last year. "Maybe" also gives Valentina a lot more room to breathe and allows for more vocal freedom. Valentina still has a chance.

As the Netherlands last year, I'd be thrilled if the last country to qualify in the 1st semi was San Marino.

 

[RainyWoods]

I think i've just found THE Valentina quote of the year...


"ENJOY.. YOUR LIFE.. ok? Maybe YOU can.. you can.. Yes, I can. YOU can. *kiss* CIAO!!"

I wouldn't be. I think i'd faint before the announcement I want San Marino called first
