I‘m not a big fan of Italy this year either. It’s not bad but I have at least 15-20 songs I like better. For one, it’s the falsetto, yes, but also the verses are very… how can I describe this. It’s your typical Italian radio pop song, the verses are stretched like chewing gum, it’s a bit exhausting to listen to. I like the harmony of the voices in the chorus but not the falsetto. The bridge is nice too.
It’s a bit overrated, yes, but no way this is gonna win. They‘ll do a typical Italy: high in the televote, butchered by the juries. No jury will have them as their first three or even in their top 10 after they have already won last year.
In previous years (long ago) there was even a silent agreement in the juries that the winner country would not be voted for again as a winner. It obviously didn’t work for Ireland in the 90s but I think my mum told me back then there were rumours some were upset about it because it was considered "bad manners".
