Which of the songs will own the spirit of the night?
San Marino’s first ever national selection process is about to start its series. Tonight, a bunch of 11 singers, who were selected through several initial processes will perform in front of a panel made up of professionals who will evaluate their performances and will choose the songs in the race to represent San Marino at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Lisbon, hoping to overcome last year’s result in Kiev.
As we previously informed, the singers have recently been working on original songs along with composers and authors. Each contestant has written two tracks, that will be presented to the public acoustically in the first two heats.
Take a look at the names competing for San Marino’s ticket all the way to Lisbon below:
- Sara de Blue
- Franklin Calleja
- Judah Gavra
- Jessika
- Tinashe Makura
- Camilla North
- Sebastian Schmidt
- Jenifer Sky
- Emma Sandström
- Giovanni Montalbano
- Irol (Lorenzo Salvatori)
HOW WILL THEY CHOOSE A WINNER?
1in360 will be made up of three shows, including a live final that will be broadcast from Bratislava. The first two shows will see the eleven finalists perform the acoustic versions of their two songs, while the jury panel will comment their impressions. At the end of the second show, the judges will say which songs each performer will perform in the final.
The selected songs will be arranged for the final show, so we will listen to the final versions no later than 23rd February when the online voting will be open to everyone. It’s interesting to highlight that the public voting will be done through PayPal under a payment of 1 euro to avoid fraud.
The overall winner will be chosen by the combination of votes from the jury panel and the mentioned online voting. The percentage of the online voting will be decided according to the number of votes received via PayPal.
The so-named panel will include the following members: Alessandro Capicchioni (Head of San Marino Eurovision delegation), Neon Hitch (singer), Ladislav Kossar and Zoë (Austrian Eurovision entrant in 2016).
