Here we have: one of the biggets favourites of this year contest. Since it returned, Italy has been every year among the favourites and in a good ranking in the bet platforms. However this year the favouritism is even bigger, making Italy win the OGAE's votes. What is the italian recipe for so much euphoria? The answer is very simple! Like before, the representative was selected from the contestants of the Sanremo Music Festival 2015. The selected group was "Il Volo", the winner of the 'Big Artists' category, with the song "Grande Amore". Many factors make this song very popular among the eurofans. First of course the group itself: 3 young guys that would attract many votes among the youngers and the gay people. Second the song: even being a ballad, it sands out from the others by the emotions and the message. Third the boys' voices that are very different from the rest of the entries. And finally the videoclip that brings images very popular in the people's immagination, that makes this song impossible to forget. There's nothing new or original in this song. But the composers had the ability to use all the 'cliches' in a very smart way that will atract the people's votes. If they will manage to put all the emotions on stage, even not deserving, a victory will be very possible.
San Marino - Anita Simoncini & Michele Perniola with "Chain of Lights"
The first thing to stand out about the San Marino's song is that the singer is not Valentina Monetta!!! As usually SMtv San Marino, the public broadcaster, made a internal selection. Even being the first time this duet will be on the Eurovision Song Contest, their names are not completely strange for some people: Anita Simoncini participated in the Junior ESC 2014 as part of the group 'The Peppermints' and Michele Perniola the previous year, both representing San Marino. They are the youngers contestants this year (Anita only turned 16 on 14th of April). So, even being a ballad we could immagine something very strong....but unfortunately it's not what happen. The first second make us believe in the good potential the song could have but after that, all the expectations go away. The youngs' voices are averagely good, but the melodie is very outdated and the impression is very poor. Their voices could be much better explored, especially for the fact that they are young, and a big part of the voters have the same age.
The qualification for the final last year was a big achieve for this small country. However, with this song and being in the hardest semifinal, the qualification will be almost impossible.
