Italy and San Marino will officially return in 2011,finally

My country will be probably represented by Nathalie Giannitrapani,winner of latest edition of X Factor (She'll also join Sanremo,this March)

Great that Italy returns! I hope this is not a one-off return and Italy will stay for longer Smile

The official logo and slogan. For me this slogan is too simple.

But its verry unfair that Italy backs direct to the BIG 4 to become to BIG 5 as well Evil or Very Mad

Cause all the countries works so hard to get on the final and Italy backs with San Marino just like on the red carpet on the Oscars.. also its a lack of respect to Russia becuz they also was apply it to stay on the BIG 4 in 2009 and they was refused cause the EBU did not want to expand yet.. Evil or Very Mad

So i guess that now that Italy is in, an new voting bloc will be formed.. cause im soo sure that Italy will get from 10 to 12 points of the verry BIG ITALIAN DIASOPRA from Spain, France, Switzerland, Croatia, Slovenia, Malta, Greece, Cyprus, Albania and Romania, the 12 points of Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and UK will be verry disputated with Turkey and Armenia Diaporas ones No mencions about the new bis a bis just like Greece and Cyprus 12 points exange votes now beteewn with San Marino and Italy

What do you thing of this guys..

**kleftokotou** Mon Jan 17, 2011 1:02 pm

BIG 4 AND NOW BIG 5 PAY (THE MOST) FOR EUROVISION, SO THAT'S HOW THEY GET TO BE IN THE FINAL!!!!!
NO MONEY NO EUROVISION...SO THANK YOU BIG 5!!!
AS FOR ITALY AND SAN MARINO EXCHANGE 12 POINTS I DON'T THINK THAT IT'S BAD OR A CONSPIRACY, THEY SHARE THE SHAME MUSIC SCENE, THE SAME MEDIA SO PLROPABLY THEY WILL SHARE THE SAME MUSIC TASTE! JUST LIKE FORMAL SOVIET STATES,SWEDEN/NORWAY/DENMARK, ROMANIA/MOLDOVA, TURKEY/ AZ,
AS FOR GREECE AND CYPRUS WE ARE PRACTICALLY ONE COUNTRY, WE ARE DIVIDED ONLY FOR POLITICAL REASONS: FROM THE 6 SINGERS IN THIS YEAR GREEK FINAL 3 COME FROM CYPRUS!!!!!!!
SO I CAN'T BE MAD TO A RUSSIAN FOR VOTING UKRAINE... WHO AM I TO SAY HOW ANYONE SHOULD FEEL!
THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES AND CONTROVERSIES BUT THAT'S EUROVISIONON Very Happy

AS LONG AS THE PEOPLE ARE FREE TO VOTE IT'S FINE BY ME!
IN 2009 IN Azerbaijan ABOUT 40 PEOPLE WERE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE FOR VOTING ARMENIA... Sad

EBU PUNISHED THEM WITH AN ENOOOOOOOOOOOORMOUS SUM OF MONEY, I WONDER IF THAT IS ENOUGH!
THIS IS WHAT SHOULD BOTHER US, THIS IS WHAT SHOULD BE SOLVED!

One more sponsor for the show, not bad. Glad to see Italy returning!!! I only hope the entry will be better than what we got from San Remo in recent years...

Hopefully..At the beginning it was announced that Nathalie Giannitrapani would have joined the ESC,but that's not totally confirmed yet.. She's such a complete and great singer.. Or,according to recenet news,Italy will be represented by Marco Mengoni,winner of 2009's X Factor Italia and second runner up,during the same year,at Sanremo.

Nathalie is a great singer. I hope they will send her and - most of all - choose the right song for her!

I thought so... In that case Slovakia doesn't want to participate, but it's forced to do it. Surprised

Cuz they can't. There was a draw which countries from "big 5" in which semi-final will be voting.
