Come on, Norman! In 50 years time we’ll be calling some of these pieces Classical Music! :-0
I would say In 50 years time nobody will remember any of these pieces
I will never forget Ermal Meta the best italian singer of his generation he was close to win 3 years ago.
Yes it’s true, but he didn’t sing alone: Fabrizio Moro has a delightful voice! And I do not speak about the show man Francesco Gabbani one year before.
Yes but Ermal has something special. Una cosa di piu. Like Lucio Battisti 50 years before
Is it important at all?
no but it’s a lot of fun if you chat with some friends and family at the same time
Well, anyone with a taste for musical masochism has it made on Saturday!
Just buy a decent bottle of scotch and pour yourself a double every time a song modulates in the final chorus. You’ll be feeling no pain by the end of the evening. About the morning after, the less said the better.
33 contenders… and 26 go to the “finals”?
Imagine getting displaced by San Marino.
Go, Albania!
