San Marino SAN MARINO 2024 - Megara - 11:11

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

The polite clapping happening before Alunno's song finished

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

A tale of two Camillas and their stage props

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Corde Libere were great! Here's hoping they can at least get to the second chance!

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Eki and Kat had a good performance, but the ballad is dated

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

With that outfit and song, Ilyth would've smashed the top 10 of Eurovision 2003...not so much with those high notes, though.

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Karma were really promising, but there seems to be a limit as to how many rock bands advance, so doubtful that they get through tonight.

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Malvax were really good, too!

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Mark from Malta came with a Maltese ballad.

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Mate singing "the sun is shining in Alabama" with that presentation...weird.

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Mhora was really good, too!

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

I liked Noor's Sanremo Giovani song, this I'm only halfway sold on.

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

But why were Operapop wearing berets?

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Ros-Aria with "Go girl, give us nothing" energy

 

[Neely]

I liked Noor's Sanremo Giovani song, this I'm only halfway sold on.

Thought I recognised her, or those glasses! Her SanremoGiovani song from 2022 was pretty good.

Quite a few Una Voce Per San Marino 'veterans' back tonight too.

A shame the rules prevented Mark Portelli bringing his MESC 2024 entry which was better.

Ah, it took three nights to get our first drag act, if you discount Basti!

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

The Atlantis and The Miss definitely brought...drama?

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

The most theatrical of the night, for sure:

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

I love XGIOVE so much!!!!!! Give them the finalist spot, cowards!

 

[Neely]

I love XGIOVE so much!!!!!! Give them the finalist spot, cowards!

I was team Le Deva last year but GIOVE were equally robbed so going to the final this year would be nice for them, even if it isn't as much fun as 'Fuoco E Benzina'

Definitely the weakest semi for me so far, at a push if not GIOVE I'd want one of the following to go through:

Camilla Rinaldi - Rara
Camilla Ruffini - Mi Dicono
Karma - Meglio Di No

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Semi-Final 3 Finalist:
MATE

Second Chance:
Cinzia Paoletti
XGIOVE
Corde Libere
This Is Elle

 

[Neely]

So Mate, and her cultural appropriation, goes to the final again.

I'd forgotten about Corde Libere they were great too.
