Raul: HANDS UP SAN MARINO!!! Finally something fresh, the question is: WILL SAN MARINO BE IN THE GRAND FINAL? Idk what to say because of the televoting, BUT the song deserves to be in the final. About the staging I am praying for something good but I have doubts …
Grade: 7/10

Reza: I’m so happy to see Gabry Ponte at Eurovision! He’s a huge DJ with an amazing discography. However, I’m not that thrilled about the fact that he chose to compete with “Tutta L’Italia”. As a studio version, the song is pretty good: catchy, energetic, and it definitely has that big arena feel. I’m sure the audience will play an important role in Basel, especially since, at the pre-parties, the public’s energy really elevated the song. That being said, I honestly hate everything about the performance. Having a DJ on stage is already a disadvantage at Eurovision, but on top of that, we’ve got three faceless guys standing still for the entire song, plus two or three random Cirque du Soleil-style dancers doing aerobics, and some really ugly graphics. It’s just a mess — a terrible concept for this song. It has so much potential to go big in Basel with completely different staging, and I think that will be the key factor in whether it qualifies or not.
Grade: 6/10

Laurentiu: I’m really happy that Gabry Ponte is representing San Marino this year. I’m confident San Marino will qualify without any problems and will achieve a great result. The song is extremely catchy and sticks with you from the first listen. The infusion of traditional instruments with a fresh, modern vibe makes it very appealing and easy to vote for. I can easily see it landing in the televote top 5. Overall, it’s a strong, infectious entry that brings great energy to the contest.
Grade: 8/10

Stefania: This entry is pure fire! In my heart, it’s an easy 10/10, but I’m cautiously giving it an 8 because this genre can be a gamble at Eurovision. If Gabry manage to deliver the full energy and attitude live, this could seriously blow up on stage. Rooting hard for San Marino this year!
Grade: 8/10

Florin: At first it was kind of strange to hear “Tutta L’Italia” from San Marino, but then I got obsessed with this song. It has such a cool energy, and sounds so good. I really had no expectations from the endless national selection of San Marino, which usually has a random winner, but this year they really made a great choice and I hope they keep it what way in the future. If they improve the staging, which im sure they will, this could really be San Marino’s best result ever.
Grade: 9/10

Antonio: This banger is currently quite popular in Italy, but to me, it feels like just another electropop track that might struggle to deliver a strong result for San Marino. Gabry is well-known in Italy, especially as the mastermind behind the mega-hit ‘I’m Blue,’ and that recognition might actually give them a boost in qualifying.
