Indeed, it somehow sounds too good to be true :lol:

But I really hope they come back

Re: ITALIA - Italy 2011

I guess I am the only one who wouldn't be too excited about Italy's return. It's not that I don't want them to return but even if they decide to come back they may just do that for a year and leave just as quickly as they showed up. Italy hasn't shown real interest in the contest in a long time and I can't really get too excited about their participation if they don't really care about it too much.

You are right Matt but why not give them a chance if they want to partisipate ! :)

Re: ITALIA - Italy 2011

I am personally excited because of a possibility for Italy's return, but indeed Matt is right on this one. Executives in RAI, who are responsible for ESC, are very arrogant and they think they caught God himself for.....you know........"pride", and we must urge them to come back. I am happy that we can get a country whose ESC entries I liked a lot, and who will bring some quality to the contest, but in case they do leave after a year or two....they are welcome.

They make their own destiny.

They sure deserve as many chances as they like, it's just a contest afterall, just my actual level of excitment is average. I'd be more excited for countries who want to particpate but couldn't due to their finances.

Re: ITALIA - Italy 2011

Well, I am a sucker for all things Italian so I'm excited about them (possibly) returning. I mighty even watch X Factor now and see who wins! I'm wondering who'd write the song, though.

It seems that X-actor rumors were fake.

Acording to oikotimes Roberto Meloni was invited by RAI in order to discuss ESC participation.

You'd cringe and say that it's just "oikotimes" etc.

I have another news. Coming from a Russian source. RAI officials asked Maria Bruno (Italian-Russian singer) to participate in ESC.

Apparently, it seems that RAI is thinking about internal choice or a NF and they negotiate with different performers. I mean 2 news reports which point at this, within 1 day.

Oh plz not this guy!

He stands for everything BAD & tasteless in ESC. Both times he was involved it was with freak/joke acts and he seems to be tasteless in general considering his "professional" judging on Swedish entries last year.

Making a comeback with this guy would be a major mistake.

Well if Italy would come back next year and win, I'm sure they wouldn't quit in 2012... so let's make them win! Haha just kidding :p
