I have relistened to the studio track twice today again and while it's considerably better than that live rendition from San Marino NF ... i still struggle to recall how this song goes. It's loud but also very bland, with a flat sound to it and forgettable. Props for the singer that she remembers how 11:11 goes so she can sing it, she's got mad skills NGL.

Yesterday it was time for :sm: at the ESC kompakt songchecks 2024.

ESC-Songcheck kompakt 2024 (31) – San Marino: „11:11“ von MEGARA - ESC kompakt

Der Zwergstaat San Marino hat in diesem Jahr mit „Una voce per San Marino 2024“ wieder einen riesigen Vorentscheid auf die Beine gestellt: über mehrere Auditionsrunden und Halbfinals, e…
esc-kompakt.de esc-kompakt.de

The verdict of the bloggers:

Benny - What happened to rock'n'roll? Last year at Benidorm, Megara were among my favorites; “11:11” doesn't get me at all, for me (apart from the look) it has zero worth of recognition and no catchy melody. :2:

Berenike - For me, the better Spanish song this year comes from San Marino. I really like “11:11”, it has something snotty about it, is very powerful and has a very catchy melody for a rock song. I really hope that San Marino is rewarded for the brave decision not to go for “the big name”. :8:

Douze Points - Trivial rock song. I don't understand anything and I'm actually not interested in finding out more. :2:

Flo - Unfortunately, I don't really know what this track is trying to achieve. For a rock song, the production in the chorus is poor, and the mix of electronic and more traditional elements isn't quite smooth either. In addition, the instrumental is quite present, the mix isn't right everywhere for me. So as a studio version it's less convincing to me. But maybe the live performance will be successful and with it reaching the final. :3:

Manu - My personal counterpoint to the “Ulveham” discussed yesterday: Not much fits together here for me. Loud guitars? Yes. Refrain? Somehow present. Verses… Hmm, I think I missed those. An extremely poorly mixed electronic porridge is served with it. The pink/black color scheme seems to me to be similarly constructed to the rehearsed choreography in the preliminary round. The only plus point: she sings quite well. Nevertheless, I can only give :2: unfortunate points here.

Max - I wasn't a big Megara fan last year already when they competed at the Benidorm Fest. This year this has not improved. Of course the song isn't bad and I'm generally into rock, but the song just doesn't grab me overall. :3:

Peter - Kenzy Rocks! After initially being confused, I now LOVE “11:11”. I have never heard a song more beautiful. Meanwhile, I celebrate the contribution from San Marino for at least four reasons. First: the Spanish text and then the bogus text messages. Secondly: the rousing rock dynamics and Kenzy's passion. Third: the beat enriched with flamenco quotes and the great outro. Fourth: MEGARA made it to Malmö bottom-up via the villages from hundreds of audition applications. I love rags stories like this. :12:

Rick - We already saw at the Spanish Benidorm Festival that Megara know how to organize an ESC staging. In my opinion, this is also the strongest component of this post: the visuals. The song itself isn't bad, but it just takes too long to find a common thread among all the different influences. In addition, the number is generally not catchy enough and will probably just seem “loud” to many people. Next year no Rock please, San Marino... :4:

I am a massive rock fan but this is dreadful. I can barely listen to it until the end. I don't like giving low marks but.........

1 point.

This will be the first time I shall be rooting for San Marino to make it to the final since I can remember. Not that it will make much difference, from what I've been reading here, but Megara is a star and a great performer. Shame I won't be voting in this semi....

I will be voting for this. It's so vibrant, energetic and fun and to me quite catchy, i really do not get why most people in the bubble do not like it, disappointing. Best San Marino entry ever.

For me it's the best along with Adrenalina, followed by The Social Network song.

Wow, i gotta say... that part with the checkered "runway" really looks good. I don't think this is totally out of qualifying now, but it's still not likely.
