My favourites for Malmo 2013: San Martino return with Valentina

The schlager -master himself Ralph siegel has been responsible for the San Marino entry for the second year running and with an excellent

italian artist - Valentina. I have always been a big fan

of Herr Siegel and his tunes old and new. But 'the Facebook song' that Ralph did last year in Baku, was a rather strange choice

I liked the tune, however as 'The Social Network song'it became abit bland and meaningless and so did not qualify.

So for Malmo 2013 it looks like - 'Uh Ohh oh we make a small miss-take..." and it’s right back to a schlager style (hurrah with a tune called 'Crisallide'

and this has become rather quickly a fan favourite. I have a real good feeling this time Ralph & Valentine will do well.. as for a winning song

I think perhapes not. However a Top 15 placing for San Marino is going to be a vast improvement for them as a new country at Eurovision

Song Contest. Who knows they could end up being the modern day Monaco- or even Luxembourg ( a country Ralph Siegel also took under his wing in the 70s/80s)

Its so great to have schalger royalty at Eurovision again, and for that alone - San Martino gets my vote.
