If you won't be back until the end of the month, as you said earlier, you won't be able to vote in the preliminary voting anyway. But you can still listen to the tracks in the final selection and vote, whenever that may be.

Good question.

When I created the First interattive poll,more than 2 years ago,my daughter Alice was near tò Born. I didnt know the Ip were going tò go ahead and I Remember a few weeks later I attended an Ip from the clinic where my partner had a caesarean section. I wrote with Alice Who was sleeping on my lap. That Summer I came tò this netless residence and I partecipare with the same limitations I have today.Last year I broke my knee twice and for this reason I was un'abile tò vote at 3 Ip but I recovered 2. My vote Is missing Just for Logan's. And I Will vote! In September I Will vote for that old poll and for this One.

For me
Partecipating Is a sentimental question.

I have the original and I really like that version of the Maestro Morricone. It feels/ sounds so fresh and vibrant.   I think I'm still keeping my number one, but that could easily be in first place too. Great homage, sans fromage! (i.e. not cheesy as some covers are not that I dislike cheese).   A real treat for me, thanks.

1. Brandt Brauer Frick - Step (5 points)
2. Chassol - I figli morti (3 points)
3. Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul - Thank You (2 points)
4. Lalalar - Hiç Mutlu Olmam Daha Iyi (1 point)

Nick: Of your selection Boris is the only one that didn't really convince me: I don't like her whispering voice/singing style and the "let's tick some post-rock cliché boxes" with the guitar wall of sound lacks originality, IMHO. The other three however are wonderful and ranking them is difficult. I love that soundscape thingy and the electronic aspect of Mario Lino Stancati, the rocky hypnotism of Cola de Zero and the folky and angelic dreamscape of Kalandra. All three very atmospheric. So, these three could be on a spot of the other, but here it goes:

Cola de Zorro: 5 points
Mario Lino Stancati: 3 points
Kalandra: 2 points (but they deserve more...)
Boris: 1 point


Christian: Oh no, not those experimental things again...   Lucy brings us some industrial experimental sample thingies, a kind of Einstürzend Kraftwerk, with some funny elements. I also like Laura Veirs very much; makes me think a bit of Rozi Plain, but more on the indie side than the folk side. Great sonics. With So Sner we are more in the electronic experimentation and this is my favourite of yours (love this one!), because I'm a bit disappointed by the Red Snapper track which is a bit too "lazy" on the composition side, to my ears.

So Sner: 5 points
Lucy: 3 points
Laura Veirs: 2 points
Red Snapper: 1 point

Elisa has a great voice and the song has some catchy melodies. It works, but it's not overly original either. Achille Lauro... Lorenzo, I think you've sent your musical mind on holiday too; how dare you. Go confess, since it's Sunday  (this is not for me). Irama is a bit better again, but we're still very much in Eurovision Song Contest territories. Lorenzo, where are you? Someone hacked your account! Come back! Elisa: 5 points Irama: 3 points Mahmoud and Blanco: 2 points Achille Lauro: 1 point

Oh yes I know! My new selection Is a penitence for you!;-)

Elisa has a beautiful voice but nothing else. Mahmoud hmmm He won the festival with Blanco, and in the 2019 (Mauro Pagani ex PFM was the artistic director) he won alone... unbelievable! Two times! I Guess he won because black Muslim and gay (no coming out until now)
I cant stand him.

And what about Achille Lauro?

Guccini,talking about him,said: Is he the new Singer songwriter? When I was young I didnt Need tò show my ass tò sing


PS Ok the Melody of Elisa and Irama's songs are not bad
