Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

San Marino has announced its spokesperson for Stockholm. It's Lorenzo Salvatori aka Irol MC, the winner of I talenti dei Castelli 2015, the show that could in theory become the tiny nation's selection show for the Eurovision (maybe). He's no stranger to Eurovision though. In 2014 he was a jury member for Eurovision and in 2015 for the Junior Eurovision. Who knows, maybe he will be on stage someday, ..... We must remember San Marino is treated very unfairly in the new voting system. Not being able to have the televoting they will actually only provide 50% of their votes, while the rest is randomly thrown in by EBU with their own criteria no one seems to know exactly what it is. This detail has also angered SMRTV and time will tell if Stockholm will be their last appearance in the contest. Read more here and here . 

San Marino had its very own talent show this fall and in Tonbola di Natale the winner was out: rapper Irol MC representing San Marino Città, with his Vuoto . The contest was organized by Banca di San Marino, but in the jury we had also Eurovision Head of delegation Alessandro Capicchioni.... which naturally makes you wonder if this could be used also for Eurovision selection, as I already wrote in early November , way before the other sites took a hint of it btw.  Among the nine castles or castelli was also Montegiardino, represented by Anita Simoncini with Simone Giacomini but the well deserved winner is Lorenzo Salvatori aka Irol MC. How would you feel with some Sammarinese rap in Eurovision?
