passionpopSan Marino are back for their second Eurovision, and what a co-incidence that they have returned the same yeah Italy did. RAI, the Italian broadcaster is also a major share holder in SMRTV (San Marino's broadcaster) so there would not be any collusion would there be... no never...
After not qualifying for the final in their first attempt in Eurovision in 2008, San Marino are back and hoping that their friends that surround them, Italy, will help them get a better result. good luck with that
This song is actually quality. Senit, the singer, appears talented and though the start of the song is a bit naff, she carries the song well. OK it is little more than a power ballad and listening to the song, you can already see how an explosion of lights and possibly a wind machine will be used to emphasize the refrain (if not fireworks). Yes any song with any scant bit of quality can be Eurovision-ised to death.
Though the song has that nice summer feel that a good winner needs, and though it should qualify from the semi, it wont threaten the big hopes at this years event. the bookies place The hopes of this around the same as Albania and Portugal (so equal to buckleys chance), but then if they are Buckleys at 250/1, what is Cyprus at 300/1?
San Marino's attempt in 2008, despite being a bit emo, wasn't horrible. it certainly deserved better than last place in the semi, which is where it finished. It even got less points (1 less) than the Hungary who finished last in the other semi. Poor San Marino.
