I've read everyone is cursing the song on FB and other Eurovision forums. Is that really even worse than Euro Neuro?

Both equal I'd say.

This has to be the most hilarious song of the year. It tries to be classy, heartfelt and all that, while actually it's just a pile of amateurish bland crap. I couldn't hold back the laughter while listening to it.

Actually this entry showes how far San Marino from Eurovision, far from us. They're somewhere in the space, somewhere in the past. :( It's even impossible to evaluate because this entry is beyond Eurovision.

You're approaching this from the wrong direction. It's nowhere near as good as Euro Neuro, but it has proper entertainment value.

Every year there has to be a song that you hate from your very core...........that makes you cringe and gives you goosebumps for all the wrong reasons.
For me, that doesn't have to be bad, every edition needs a song like this, it gives amusement and color to the contest en lets you think about the important questions in life like........."Is this reality?" "How did this happen?" or "WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST LISTEN/SAW?". This year seemed lacking in these type of terrible but amusing songs but it seems that I finally found it.

Welcome Serhat to my list of cringeworthy "so bad that it's amusing song".......I will never say "so bad that its good" :lol:
2011: :mt: Glen Vella - One Life
2012: :sm: Valentina Monetta - The Social Network Song
2013: :ro: Cezar - It's My Life
2014: :by: Teo - Cheesecake
2015: :md: Eduard Romanyuta - I Want Your Love
2016: :sm: Serhat - I Didn't Know (It's already decided, there wont be a song more terrible then this this year)

That is by far, the worst entry in the contest.

There are so many things wrong with it: this guy was never much of a singer, but the composer didn't even try to fit his song to his voice. The lyrics are incredible cheesy, even by Eurovision standards, the production sounds dated, once again, even by what we expect from this contest. It's boring as hell with no surprises, turns, twists, anything.

But the worst is that it doesn't even have ambition: I have hear several bad songs this year, but at least I could see what they were trying to aim for. They failed but at least they try to aim high, even if in the end those songs lacked talent, production or taste. I don't see any kind of oversight with this: I can't imagine a producer listening to this, and thinking, "yep, this is as good as is going to get". Or maybe it is, what makes this thing even sadder.

0 points, not even work as a "so bad it's good": it's just bad.
Here's the problem with this entry: You probably put more effort into analysing this song than Serhat and his team put into writing it.

The song is genuinely wondrous and actually quite surreal. Serhat has a got ridiculously deep and smokey voice. He sing-talks the song in a similar style to Amanda Lear, who is an acquired taste herself. In fact, he sounds incredibly similar to Amanda Lear, and she's one of my favourite artists ever. I think the song is stupendous and I can see it gathering a cult following because of how unbelievably WTF it is. I love it with no irony though. It's really gorgeous and rich. I dive into it.

Ehm, sorry but The Social Network Song Uh uh oh uh uh is a masterpiece. There is no song in 2012 like this one with full of joy and fun but at the same time makes you want to rewatch and rerewatch or rererewatch the performance. xheart

Except for Malta 2011, I actually like all these songs. Especially San Marino 2012 and Moldova 2015.
