Hi guys and girls, Iām at the moment listening to this song (like 20 times in a row ) that will partecipate to the Eurovision contest this year. It already won Sanremoās Festival, the most important songs contest here, you know, that kind of event that gathers us all italians in front of telly for about a weekā¦
I was curious to know about other countriesā songsā¦any from your own country that you really like?
This is the link to Marco Mengoniā s āDue viteā andā¦no matter how complex a song this one is Iām crazy enough and Iām learning it
It has been here on the eight oāclock news and serious newspapers how badly(out of tune) our candidates sing couple of times after many months of practiceā¦I believe they sang a somewhat simplified version on Friday and that it can now be heard without too many bad mistakes ā¦I have many friends and acquaintances that loves this festivalā¦ I donāt like this semi-political festival ā¦of course I wish everyone who loves it a great time ā¦
Greetingsā¦
Ps:your man can sing much betterā¦heās not going to be last
But this canāt be possible! Arenāt there decent artists nei Paesi Bassi?! ā¦uh forgive me, my english fails me sometimes
What?! āMy manā wonāt be last?! Heās going to win because his song is terrific! In the video heās singing just after knowing he had won Sanremo, can you hear the emotion in his voice?
As far as Iāve heard/read, expectations arenāt very high for our candidate, to put it mildly. Might be battling it out for last place with the Dutch one
No, really bad ā¦ the modified version seems to be a little oke, but you can hear the uncertainty (I myself have not heard more than the most out of tune pieces)ā¦
And actually I also think the Italian song is a bit standard (sorry sorry sorry ) and not really super original ā¦ but that says more about my taste than about your artist ā¦ And hi Els, @LadyOfTheCastle I thought you were Dutch tooā¦poor memoryā¦so I see a neighbor .
Eurovision is a subject that can be probably qualified as a political discussion over here , therefore I will not rip into how my home countryās decision wasnāt at all rigged and politically biased, all I will say is that if by any chance Poland reaches final (which I highly doubt) they will be the embarrassment of this yearās contest with 0 points on their account. Absolutely shocking choice of a songā¦
I have a brief visit to the UK, cramming in a bunch of stuff including ringing for the coronation, a local beer festival, then travelling North to stay with my eldest daughterāand her husband where I will be visiting my parents as well as attending the two Eurovision shows before flying back.
Oh yes, thereās always some sort of āpoliticalā slant involved in the talk about Eurovision here in Hungary as well, most of them bollocks though. Iāve never met anyone (yet) who watched it regularly and discussed it in musical/showbiz terms.
