Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Arisa, a fan favorite and self proclaimed Eurovision fan and wannabe, closes a chapter in her career that started by winning the Sanremo newcomers 2009, continued with other Sanremo successes (2nd in 2012, winner in 2014) and many other projects, musical and not, like being one of the X Factor judges. Five albums plus one live album so far. The story continues. Her latest is Una cantante di musica leggere or A singer of light music , with Tricarico.  Besides being an awesome singer she's known to be a bit cuccoo at times in things she says and does, like doing X Factor when a bit tipsy (Mrs Osborne anyone?), or telling everyone in Sanremo to pop in some pills to feel good....  And of course infamous tweet "Oh fuck! Wrong year!" when she won Sanremo and that was the only time RAI chose internally outside the festival... 1 – Una cantante di musica leggera feat Tricarico 2 – Abbi cura di te 3 – Sincerità 4 – La Notte 5 – Quante parole che non dici 6 – Con...

OGAE Italy is present in Sanremo and they interviewed Lara Fabian ( here , in Italian) who represented Luxemburg in 1988 Eurovision with Croire , finishing 4th (behind cartain Celine Dion for example). This year, as we know, the Sanremo winner will be handed the ticket to Vienna 2015 Eurovision with a possibility to turn down the offer as well. Lara Fabian failed to impress Italians in the first night and her Voce is among the bottom-4 songs in risk of an elimination from the final. These days it has also emerged a general Italian has no clue who she is, fueled by some "well informed" journalists who shold be stripped off their accreditation immediately. Anyways.... when asked if she should win would she do it again, go to Vienna and represent Italy?  "I have already done it. In my career I don't want to repeat things  but go ahead for new things. I would turn it down,  I have done Eurovision already. It was a great experience and such fun!"
