Today Morten Thomassen looks at a returning artist. It is MARCO MENGONI for Italy. ESC Covers google translated the article from Norwegian to English.

One of my absolute favorite countries in the ESC is Italy, I can hardly remember them sending anything that I didn’t put high on my list.

They don’t fail this year either and send a guy we already met in 2013, namely Marco Mengoni.

Back then he came in a great 7th place and I both hope and believe that the personal record for him can be broken with the song “Due Vite”.

“To Liv” means the title and he serves us a very strong performance of a ballad that has so much passion and melancholy that it can almost be felt in the diaphragm.

And if he gets the same intensity in Liverpool as he did in San Remo, this could quickly become my favorite song this year.

Then we will see if he becomes the best of the five big countries, something that this country has gradually become accustomed to becoming.
