People said similar things about Marco Mengoni last year with his ballad and yet he scored heavily on both sides, juries and televoters. It was the same with Barbara Pravi in 2021. There's an audience for this form of passionate ballad with a charismatic singer. Personally I love the song but even if you don't you can see how he's going to sell this straight down the camera to millions of viewers. However we'll need to see if anyone else tries this style of song before making a final judgement on its overall chances.
