Well...
She managed to qualify to final in 2014 and I thought that was such a beautiful way to end her Eurovision journey. So I really didn't understand whose idea was to bring her back this year with a duett song, and AGAIN in combination with Ralph Siegel (seriously, San Marino?). I intentionally didn't want to hear the songs before the contest, but when I heard that Valentina is going to represent San Marino, I just said "Wait, what? But why?". I almost gave myself in... And boy am I happy that I didn't listen to the song before the semi final.
When Valentina and Jimmie started to perform yesterday, my reaction was, once again, "Oh God... Why, Valentina? For the love of Idontknowwhoonthisworld, why?". The song, in my opinion, is one of the worst songs in ESC history. Last year Serhat at least made me smile with his song, but this year I saw the whole Sanmarinese performance... Tragic, honestly. It looked like they're desperate for another qualification.
I still think Valentina has great voice and is a good jazz performer. Looking back at her previous three performances... Yeah, I have to admit, even the Facebook song was better that this years entry. I would never say that 3, 4, 5 years ago (since I was really, I can say, almost obsessed with Valentina - and my head still hurts a bit beacuse of that).
Please, San Marino, don't bring her back next year. Or ever again. Her time is done. I get it, that you're a small country, but I'm sure you have more than just one singer (heck, even my hometown has more multiple singers and the population is smaller than in your country) in your country. Same goes for Siegel.
point from me. I rest my case.
