Now, it has been said by me, on this very blog in fact, that Italy could “fuck off and die”… However, this song and this singer, coupled with last year’s shocker, have made me say “welcome back (but only if you keep entering this kind of thing)”
This. Is. Class.
It doesn’t need dandruff, or 70-year-olds, or choreography, It just needs Nina Silly and her backing group singing the song – Simple, end of.
Admittedly she sounded “a bit flakey” in the first minute and a bit, but damn, that was far better than most things we have seen out here this week (Ukraine being the most notable exception – with Moldova, Romania, Netherlands being close behind). She soon warmed up though and absolutely nailed it.
17 days in #lovelyrome you say next year??
