The Cali Garmo

Up next is San Marino! Each year San Marino does a little bit better than the year before. Since their return in 2011 each year they have increased their placement by at least one place each year. For three years running Valentina Monetta had been the representative and each time she did even better than the previous year. Finally, last year was San Marino's first time in the Eurovision final. Although it didn't help them much as they still ended up getting 24th place and only 14 points.

This year San Marino is changing things up and is sending Anita Simoncini and Michele Perniola to sing Chain of LIghts. Anita herself is used to Eurovision having performed with the group Peppermints in the Junior Eurovision song contest in 2014. Although she's only 16 years of age she is no stranger to publicity. Her partner, Michele, is also no stranger to publicity having performed in the 2013 Junior Eurovision Song contest. He is also 16 years of age which gives this duo the title of youngest duet in Eurovision this year. Let's see what song they'll be singing for us.

This song is not the best for this year's Eurovision. The pair are both too young and you can tell by their voices. Their voices haven't yet grown to be strong and powerful, and the song itself seems to have been written for their vocal ranges (which don't seem to stretch very far). This lapse in judgement has caused a song that doesn't grab the audience and makes you question why you're even listening in the first place. Unfortunately I think this will be the first year San Marino slides in the rankings, and will likely not qualify for the finals again.
