The Sammarinese affair has been rather complicated to follow, but we have reached the stage of the two pre-recorded shows where the chosen artists sing live and acoustic (the final produced versions will bee heard in the final only) the songs they have created together with other writers in songwriting camp. 1in360 writes in their FB:
"In the interest of transparency and because some of you asked, a few words on how the songs were written: We didn't give the candidtes pre-manufactured songs. Instead we conducted a songwriting camp in Vienna, for which we prepared a few chords and melodies. Our songwriters, producers and the candidates themselves then collaborated to turn them into finished songs. As a result, we've got a lot of songs with multiple songwriters (several have five songwriters). Zoe Straub, one of the judges, actively participated in the camp and has credits on all but two of the songs. The same is true of other members of the 1 in 360 creative team. And the same is also true of the candidates. About half of them have credits on one or more songs. The most active singer songwriter was Jenifer Brening, who received credits on four songs. We'll publish the full list of songwriting credits in due course."
Each one has two songs to perform - sometimes same song is performed by two separate artists or singing together and even backing up others in choir - and after the second show the judges will choose one for each. They might be from all over the globe but in Bratislava they seem to have formed a little family....
The final will be broadcasted live from Bratislava, Slovakia of all places. Just like the first two shows that seem to have been filmed in some indutrial warehouse..... On the positive side most of these artists seem to be able to sing live quite nicely :-)
The voting is then another matter..... more about that later!
