ITALY - Marco Mengoni - L'Essenziale
Marco didn't rehearse in his suit but we got to see the jacket and the color and indeed Ferragamo's peacock green looks great on him. Vocally great. The staging is kept minimal and only by the end he takes his microphone and walks via catwalk to the small stage where the song comes to its interrupt end. Marco drew himself to the second half of the final and I hope he would be placed last. People would maybe realize after all the glitter, bombs, rains of fire, dance acts and gimmicks that all you really need in the end is a good song and performance. Like this one. Eurovision so-called fanexperts mainly don't like this so much as it lacks all those elements mentioned before. But in the end, is this a song contest or a show contest? And wasn't the main idea of this year's edition downscaling? Italy is doing exactly that, bringing in only ... the essential. I am so hoping Italy wins.
