I have decided to take a look at each entry this year, in a lead-up to the contest! There are 39 countries participating this year, all aiming to win in Malmo (well, some don't wanna win!) Turkey, Portugal, Slovakia and Bosnia & Herzegovina decided to withdraw this year, which was a shame, so lets hope they'll decide to return for 2014! I have drawn all the countries randomly and today it's Italy's turn...Marco Mengoni - L'essenziale!
Italy have sent one of their best artists to the contest, Marco Mengoni! He was announced as the Italian representative at Sanremo but what song he would take to Malmo was still unclear. L'essenziale was the song he won Sanremo with and that magnificent song which was finally confirmed as the entry on the same day that all entries must have been sent into the EBU, 18th March! Italy is one of the favourites this year, but they was last year and Nina Zilli came 9th, which is a good result but it was still disappointing...
Marco won't have to compete in the semi finals as Italy are a member of the "Big-5". So he is already in the final and with a good draw - could it be a winner? Maybe! I think juries will love it. Marco has also got an Italian tour coming up very soon, so he's a busy man. I would love for Italy to win! Rome 2014 sounds great... Or Venice 2014, Florence 2014, Sanremo 2014 - they all are very possible. Thankfully he didn't translate the song, after Nina did last year, I reckon that's why she didn't make top five...
Mentre il mondo cade a pezzi Io compongo nuovi spazi e desideri che...Here it is...
Live performance...
Another one of Marco's hits...
Enjoy this song too, his other Sanremo effort...
