Each day until May 12, I will (hopefully) review each country's entries in alphabetical order by song name. Today, we look at Italy
Country: Italy
Capital: Rome
Local ESC Time: 21:00 CEST
Artist: Nina Zilli
Song: L'Amore e Femmina
In my own words, this song is about: A woman strong enough to stand on her own two feet while her man is a complete idiot. Am I allowed to say that?
Thoughts: Italy originally chosen "Per Sempre" and I had no idea what it's about (because it's in Italian). If they would've stuck with that, Italy would be in the middle of the list, but this new song is just amazing. So amazing that it's now in my top 10. Well done, Italy.
Result I want: Top 10 in the Final
Verdict: Rome 2013 anyone?
The Italians have done it again.
