Two bits of news...

1in360 finalist Sebastian (Basti) Schmidt has been added as Jessika and Jenifer's backing singer for Eurovision. And second, Sara de Blue will be releasing "Out of the Twilight" worldwide next Friday (March 30)

All I could think of is how similar the chorus sounds like Heroes, but without the oomph.

It's really not a bad song. It's just that the lyrics is a mess, and the performers try too hard with their "signature move." If they clean it up in terms of the lyrics and the actual stage presentation, this would be good. Jessika deserves a better song because this song is beneath her capacity.

Awww. It feels like the song is just there because San Marino needed to come up with something. Not a bad song altogether, but nothing exceptional.

Well originally they planned to not even be there because the voting rules have the televote decided for San Marino beforehand and they're a jury-only country so... but then this happened...

This explains it. Good luck to them and let's hope Valentina returns next year? :D

The quen of Eurovision xheart

Her being ever sent for the 5th time would guarantee her becoming the most sent artist ever (take that Peter Sue & Marc). And I'd be so down for it. ^_^

The chorus so rips of Måns Zelmerlöw's "Heroes" it's almost plagiarism :lol:

Anyways, it's not SO bad actually, it's the best thing San Marino managed to send to the contest since 2014, and that includes last year's entry with ESC royalty Valentina.

With that said it's not really good either, but it's better than a bunch of other entries, including entries from countries that on paper should be able to release far stronger stuff.

I personally think it's a bad song, it's just not horrenduous like typical San Marino (last year ... ewwww) . But it does not make it "not bad" in my perception.

This song is in my botton 5. It's really, really bad. Besides the fact that the lyrics are stupid, the chorus sounds a bit like "heroes" and the rap part doesn't fit into the concept ... basically everything. :? Not for me.

For those still mourning what could have been, Sara de Blue released "Out of the Twilight" worldwide yesterday on iTunes, Spotify, etc.

Girl Power is all I am saying about this. I think its Jenifer's rap that does it for me

Re: SAN MARINO 2018 - Jessika ft. Jenifer - Who We Are

This song makes me feel depressed actually :lol: Every time I hear it, I feel the urge to get back to "Fantango" aka Jessika's masterpiece. xcry1

Let's give it the love it deserved one more time:


As I said before, I'm torn between the joy of Jessika eventually having her moment and the bitter taste of seeing her defend such a below-par entry. And Jenifer's presence doesn't help either: bring back IROL and release a hip-hop revamp. Thanx.

Not so much to say, I like the song but their performances in the pre-parties have been overlooked.

They should bring back the robots onstage, they are icons already!

Since chances for qualification are 0 anyway robots on stage sounds nice idea!

How come Jessika sings in English decently yet still maintains a Maltese accent? xD
