A classic forum game for the off season, Italy have been pretty unstoppable since their return to the contest in 2011, only missing the top 10 TWICE!

 

Simply choose your least favourite, and we'll continue until we have a winner!

 

A recap if you require it:

 

I've been re-familiarising myself with all of them recently and 'L'essenziale' is sticking with me the least so went for that one.

L'essenziale is definitely, ironically, the least essential of these eleven.

 

I really like all of the others which is really rare for a Eurovision country, since the return they've had such a great run of form.

I have to go for 2011, I know it was not a vintage year, but how it got SECOND will forever be a mystery to me.

I would rank them like this

 

2019: 'Soldi' by Mahmood

2011: 'Madness Of Love' by Raphael Gualazzi

2021: 'Zitti e buoni' by Måneskin

2018: 'Non mi avete fatto niente' by Ermal Meta & Fabrizio Moro

2017: 'Occidentali's Karma' by Francesco Gabbani

2012: 'L'amore è femmina (Out of Love)' by Nina Zilli

2014: 'La mia città by Emma Marrone

2013: 'L'essenziale' by Marco Mengoni

2020: 'Fai rumore' by Diodato

2016: 'No Degree Of Separation' by Francesca Michielin

2015: 'Grande amore' by Il Volo

 

Definitely think they should've already won 3 times instead of 1. Mahmood and Raphael were robbed.

No I'm saving that for May when we'll have a lot more traffic to get my hate across!

I'm same on 3 times as I'm still salty about them losing in 2015, miles better than that year's top 2. Raphael can keep his win, Soldi vs Arcade is about the same.

My faves are Fai Amore and No Degree of Separation

Madness of Love for me too, everything since has been good to brilliant, although I don’t return that much to La mia città. The last three entries have been so good, Fai Rumore could have easily been another top three for Italy.

I only really LIKE one of them (Grande Amore), but it’s between Soldi, ZITTI E BUONI and Madness of Love for me - all of which I wish never to hear again.

Madness of Love is the clear weak link of an incredibly strong set of songs - next on the chopping block for me is probably La mia citta.

I'll happily take any chance I can to hate on Madness of Love. Absolute ear infection of a song. Anyone voting for Il Volo, Mahmood or Diodato has questionable taste to say the least.

Go on, who voted for Maneskin? :(

'Madness of Love' for me by a long shot. There better be a change once the votes for that get re-distributed in the next round because Marco does not need to be second out! 'L'essenziale' is my 4th or 5th favourite of these.

 

I have to go for 2011, I know it was not a vintage year, but how it got SECOND will forever be a mystery to me.

 

Please stay with us and don't immediately withdraw again next year

ZITTI E BUONI & Fai Rumore are my faves by a mile.

 

I've never enjoyed that monkey in 'Occidentali's Karma' performance. :(
