| Hannah Mancini |
American singer Hannah Mancini has been chosen by Slovenia to represent the Balkan state at this year's Eurovision Song Contest with the song Straight Into Love.
This is not the first attempt by Ms Mancini to sing for Slovenia. In 2011, she took part in a national final performing the song Ti si tisti, but was unable too secure a place in the Super Final on that occasion.
In 2013, she is presenting something of a David Guetta ripoff Eurodance track, that has a hint of Eurphoria about it. In a year of ballads, it will certainly stand out and is one of the better uptempo numbers. Its problem may be its staging and, to a lesser extent, the vocals. Of course, one also has to consider the company it keeps in its semi-final. If the chatter is correct, one would expect this underrated entry to fall by the wayside, but it may surprise a few by scraping through to the final.
Straight Into Love will be performed in third place in the first semi-final on May 14.
What do you think of its chances?
Hannah's vocals have been erratic - some live performances good, some poor. She is in the tougher SF1 and after the excellent vocals of Birgit and before the professional excellence of Croatia so I don't think she will make it into the Final.
ReplyDeleteIf by some miracle she does get to Saturday, she won't get many points...
