[Trulyloyale]

[Learica]

@biacrisca Same. xD

[sungbin7]

[IrishKeshiHead]

@sungbin7 The Movie is called The Ages of Love or Manuale d'amore 3

[biacrisca]

All I see is Hetalia LoL

XD

[opiumbesame]

He was the best!

[MrGoodPoison]

[MsAsinka]

[VanMcChicken97]

aahh...another reason for me to love ITALY.

[Squirtius]

Why are there no more Jazz musicians like this nowadays! I mean he is just absolutly amazing :)

[heysnowwhite92]

little bit in love with this man :)

[ProudToNotBeRacist]

The trumpet part was simply amazing! This is definitely a winning song :) I wish there was more "real music" like this everywhere! I miss it...

Greetings from the USA!

[sanemadness03]

[kosta19731]

complimenti

[MrBastianbux]

saw ESC this year at a pub with lots of people around. when this song came on, a boy came up to me, took my hand, smiled, and danced with me. I'm packing now and listening to this song right now cause we're moving in together next week =D

[Ninnynha]

@MrBastianbux YOU ARE SO LUCKY :')

[MultiKamelo]

Spumeggiante!

[dsleech]

It's nice. :D

[BOLTJACOBEND]

I loved this song and my family loved Running Sacred, it was kinda of awkward when it came in second and there favoritive came in first.

[faithsmelliott]

Why didn't this win!?

[FlavioGirl]

@faithsmelliott unfortunately the majority of the judges/voters decided to vote for Aizerbaijan (sp?) another great song that really got screwed was France's Amaury Vasilli.....his voice was the BEST.......Italy should have won......your right

[masterdave73]

Beacause it's too classy for the ESC standard, usually far too popular crap.

[Lordloss096]

i just heared this song about 20 times in a row..... (should i be worried) how did this not win. briliant song and he is a briliant pianist.

[oksanagoro1]

beautiful 

[Imani869]

Does anyone find his piano playing sexual? Like he's pleasuring a woman at 0:38?

[DriftingSkyes]

@Imani869 Humm...lemme think back to how I was taught Jazz. That sounds more like the "I'm open, come here" chords, but...our instructor was on Bass, and I play a Baritone/Euphonium hybrid. It COULD full well be the Dirty little Secret chord though, who knows?

[BTRgirl]

I love this song! It's different than most of the stuff I listen to, and frankly, it's a refreshing change. LOVE both the trumpet and piano in it. I also like how in the video, the black streaks are just shooting across the background, forming words and such. Amazing song, very creative, and from none other than the amazing Italians themselves! (my ancestors are Italian, and I'm proud of my heritage)

[devil92girl]

Its similar than John Legend's songs and voice. I like it! But I think its not appropriate for eurovision.:S

[MaxiSimTV]

THAT'S ORRIBLE! BLEAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheMrPoirot]

wonderful song just not for the eurovision,because most of the songs of the eurovisions are pop songs but its Genious (with capital G)

[SamJigga]

there's music for the masses, and music for a small group of people. just like wine. a lot of people drink wine, but only a few appreciate the good and expensive sorts.

[TheMrPoirot]

@SamJigga you said that good

[lauritasaade]

i thought that azerbaijan was the worst...i came here,and this is the worst song

terrible

[Marijox1990]

I'm big fan of Eurovision!But i must admit this year 60% songs are crap!

:((

[jadesmith9]

SHIT

[kimberlysuizdak]

Can you guys stop arguing over something so undefinable as music? True music, and the quality thereof, is in the eye (rather the ear) of the beholder. Everyone has different taste, nobody is right, nobody is wrong. Seriously, people, please grow up. If you like this kind of music, good for you. If you don't, good for you too. :)

[kimberlysuizdak]

Omg that piano solo from 2:23 to 2:38 omg so great I died! -3 xD ~

[christinatheangel]

bad song really awful sound for the ears greece should be in italy's place

[JessDanze]

THAT WAS THE MOST BAD SONG IN THE CONTEST! REALLY! ITALY JUST WON, BECAUSE THEY'LL TAKE PART IN ESC AGAIN AFTER I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YEARS >.< THE REAL WINNER, OR AT LEAST PLACE 2 HAD TO BE ERIC SAADE ♥♥♥

[xrista74]

Great! Just lovely, romantic, sentimental!

[paokakis]

What is with Italy and being stuck in the 1920's? You are pathetic Italy



[scorpioninpink]

@paokakis what is it with you that you can't appreciate true music??? You are pathetic...

[paokakis]

@scorpioninpink Oh Im sorry I wan't aware that true music was only made in the 1920's. Listen, I love music from all over the world, Italy is no exception. But this song is awful, it should be sung by some hobo in New Orleans, Louisiana USA for change in a hat.

[olaszvilagos]

@paokakis we're not pathetic, we are original and not that trivial broign commercial disco-pop the other countries brought,,,,

[TheLlamaPie]

=¬=~

[Jurassicparkz08]

I thought Italy wasn't in Eurovision anymore

[DiscoveringLeon]

@Jurassicparkz08 They boycotted for a while. This was the first time they entered since, I think.

[olaszvilagos]

we didn't participate for something like 18 years...and this year it was a problem, because nobody either remembered it or even knew it: I'm 18 and I was looking forward to it because I had known it from foreigners on the internet...so I began to listen to Alexander Rybak, Sakis Rouvas and so on..

I tried to make some ad to it among my friends, but it's a quite a closed society towards "european issues", so people were skeptical and I guess almost nobody watched it.

[9999sotis]

is it only me but dont you think of paris in the evening when you hear this song?

[haedfinger]

Great and the real Nr 1 of the Contest. GZ from Germany

[Roxi2Star]

@haedfinger :3 Thats ironic! And cute! -hetalia fangirl-

[lauraazuly]

great song the winner for me greets for mexico

[lauritasaade]

200,000 visits and number 2 ¬¬'

[sgutier]

This was the winner... by far

[LinkLover1994]

I think it sounds like a song for a children-show. :P Especially when the trumpet comes in! X)

[AtTheDriveBy]

how the fuck did anyone not vote for this!

[TokyoMewZakuro124]

wow, so much hidden talent this year! go Italy! :D

[neil22100]

260,000 COMPARED TO SWEDEN 11 MILLION. THIS COME SECOND. JUST SHOWS IT IS FIXED. ITALY DESERVED TO GO NEAR BOTTOM. O YEAH I DON'T LIKE ITALY.

[giuliodf]

@neil22100 echissenefrega!

[neil22100]

@giuliodf Go back to the pope!

[giuliodf]

@neil22100 ahahaha stupid guy i'm gay too but this doesn't mean i like only stupid dance music or easy listening songs, and sweden with all respect doesn't have the history in musuc that has italy! greetings!p.s. and i hate the pope!

[clariita2011]

i wanted this song just in italian :(

[TheMannyx17]

i can't stand how did azerbaijan won...one day even Japan will be part of europe :/

[lauritaxful]

@TheMannyx17 haha at least japanese people are 1st world,good religion,and they are nice people

[TheMannyx17]

@lauritaxful good point xD LOL

[filibe]

Love the performance and the composition!!! A masterpiece!.....Azerbajdzjany cheap shit wins?? .....What Azer,.,.blah.,.-blah .,.has to do with Europe??????

[gasan4ik123]

Eurovision is stupid contest if they missed such masterpiece!

[accidentally0]

I love jazz! And this song. He's the true winner, greetings from germany.

[clicchick]

I adore this song... and I'm not really a jazz fan

Complimenti Italia!

[TheInuLogical]

@clicchick True that, I'm not really fond of jazz either. But this is super catchy and a nice beat to it.

[stefanborkos]

one of the super songs.

[Sfeffo22]

I am from Sweden and it felt good Sweden was beaten by such a class song from Italy. Would rather se this win than Azerbajdzjan

[HieclexsXiii]

Should have won!

[fink58]

What is the movie with de Niro and Belucci?

[xenani]

@fink58 yes, it's name is Manuale d'amore (I think the name in English is Edges of love)

[krystalnat]

bad song. I expected MUCH more from Italy. 2. place is a joke

[JKalama25799752]

@krystalnat This is music...... oh you must of loved that Sweden, didn't you?

[krystalnat]

@JKalama25799752

yes but I look at the song not the country. I expected some gentle Italian music like old days in eurovision. This isn´t a good song and whay does it have to be in English too? No The juries voted for it not the people

[JKalama25799752]

@krystalnat This is classic Italian Pop, you cannot get any more old school than this. The majority of the song is in Italian. When I spoke about Sweden, I meant their trashy, tacky thing called "Popular". There is a reason why the Jury is on their and that is to keep this contest a SONG contest.

[erlisaz]

Brava L'italia...greetings from USA..

[TheDoes73]

It is great! From Eurovision I love you and the Dutch musicans 3JS (Never Alone) the most and somewhere I read you'll be writing a new number together, fantastic! Thank you so much.

[skompo]

The best song in the competition. Welcome back Italy :)

[oOwolfO]

brilliant :D Thats the real winner ! I love this song ... much better than azerbaijan -.-

[maybejustmaybe123]

why does real music never win Eurovision?!?!?

[MarcelZager]

@maybejustmaybe123 you're damn right my friend..... this song from ... I even don't know the country anymore....I mean the song that won.... it was just sh**

MAdness Of Love is great.

[Cofimaslisa]

BEST

[FrEAkYGiRL238]

True Talent!!!

[manchygirl]

I hate that song. Idk why

[SnuppDoggG]

He has talent for piano and to sing

[nnmrg]

DEAR PARTECIPANTS-SINGERS ! I KINDLY ADVISE YOU NOT NOT MAKE IT AZERBAIJAN NEXT YEAR... YOU CAN BE KILLED RIGHT IN THE HOTEL ROOM WHILE YOU ARE SLEPT IN THERE ! THE KILLER WILL BE ANNOUNCED AS AN HERO ! OF COARSE THAT WON'T HAPPEN TO YOU BUT IS ALWAYS USEFUL TO KNOW BETTER THE NATIONALITIES AND THEIR VALUES BEFORE VISITING THAT COUNTRY.

[summerluv1969]

WOW amazing song true talent here

[Gabri3L97]

I can't decide who was the worst song : Italy or Azerbaidjan?

[Woodrowtracy]

@Gabri3L97 Sweden's. Both Azerbaijan and Italy were great.

[jemmytaveras]

This is the True winner of Eurovision song Contest 2011 (no offense to the Azerbaijanis)

Greetings from The Dominican Republic!

[eko26esk]

I think this song is also nice, but deserved winner of Azerbaijan

[16myrthe]

I wished this would have won

[schnieef]

Great trumpet in the tradition of Cootie Williams! Better than most of the polished guys you hear today.

[TheTowerBridgeFox]

Great Song.

[AquaOinkOink]

@roxy199121, if you don't are from Turkey you wouldn't say that Azerbaijan was the best. ;) Shit neighborhood voting!

[Berghammervoll]

@AquaOinkOink Well, after all Azerbaijan won because they had most points and ALL countries europe voted, so I guess Azerbaijan was the best and falled in taste for most people.

[TheCowkiller2000]

Thumbs up if you use this song at your relax song!!!

[alikaki465]

it's not the kind of music i prefer but i like it much because is so authedic , that's Italy! today i met in train an Italian and we had a conversation(in english) so cute♥ sutch similarity! Una Faccia Una Razza♥ kisses & hugs from greece :)

[jfodpgdhds]

244 people are from azerbaijan :)

[Woodrowtracy]

@jfodpgdhds eh? I'm from Azerbaijan and I like it, why should we dislike it?

[OurBestMusicChannel]

there's a lot better jazz than this one, this is just a bad copy/paste of better jazz artists from an artistwho lacks any personality and charisma and who can't sing. Just because he is a good piano player it doesn't mean the whole project is good too.

[chronocrusader5]

this song makes me dance around i love this kinda music and it being Italian makes me giggle..... -^-^-

[dimabilan21]

i like the song but it shouldn't came 2nd !!!!! for god!! there were much better songs than this.... !!! and then they say the contest is not fake.........

[MMMMMMMMM1995]

AMAZING GUY!

I can't understand why he didn't win!

[Gassig]

That trumpet is pure porn

[charmedgal888]

I feel stupid for being so amused with what happens when you pause, placy, and press three...

[Frejdis]

Sweden should have won... second place at least... did really not like this or Azerbaijans song :S

[xXEmotionalxKillerXx]

242 people suffer from madness XD

[Nannanabanana7]

"Bein' so far away from you just males me feel so deeeeeeaaaaaad..." -3

[Nannanabanana7]

If you prefer any other Eurovision song, you're wacked! Only good - if not GREAT - Eurovision song EVER!

[MrChief3000]

OMG !!!! this song is so fucking shit !!!!! for me its the last positon, i think belarus and moldova were much better !!!!!!!!

[classicwiseguy]

all the other ones are so 'flamboyant' and pop-y (cough cough uk, ireland, etc.) , respect italy... from canada

[Domas876]

france was better 

[TheAntiserb]

Fantastic all of Albania voted for you, god bless Italy.

[YulkaYulka]

Such a great song.

[jesusjuice15]

This song is the true winner! Was not a fan of Azerbaijan's song....

Greetz from USA

[stenaldermanden]

This is not the genre of eurovision I can't understand why it was in the Eurovision.

All jazz people like it but ofc it doesn't win eurovision there is not so many jazz viewers on eurovsion.

[Trulyloyale]

@stenaldermanden quite a bizarre and pointless comment ...... don't think at this song only as a jazz song , try to ponderate about such issues as quality , talent, class, level of performing , beauty of lyrics and music

if you can , all things the whole ESC community has totally forgotten since decades !!

Not only all jazz people like this great and refined song, but all those who have enough good taste and love the great music no matter what genre it is .

[Trulyloyale]

There is not so many jazz viewers on eurovision ?? Yeah I agree with you, there are so many viewers of trash

and kleenex songs , that's why the ESC is considered pure garbage and it got to its bottom as the TV share is falling down more and more year after year , this song instead is REAL Top music performed by a true great artist ...!

I know ESC people are not more accustomed to such classy songs , but I can't understand why nig majority of sillytexted ,ugly , ripped stupid songs

[Trulyloyale]

were in Eurovision .....!!

You comment is emblematic of the overall mediocrity empering among many Eurovision countries' people , it's not just all fault of people, much of responsability should put on EBU's backs and to its decennal guidance in favour of bad taste , mediocrity and business trash !!

[yashamaruism]

everyone should know this by now, but eurovision isnt about amazing passionate songs or uber-talent...it's for music that the majority will like, not for musicians which appreciate very kink in the melodic like or how the timbre of a voice spells out lyrics, or ppl who prefer a specific genre, alot of ppl actually like really simple songs, idk why. so it's easy to see why this didnt win, though it is ashame it didnt. seriously this song was smoother than an oil-covered slippery-dip made of ice

[Britney1705]

this is sso romantic song! it should have win! i soo love it i voted for it but 2nd place is good too :)

[MikzoProduktioner]

if this song was in the semifinal's it would'nt win.

[dmsjr2]

ONE WORD BRILLIANT! THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE!

[danielwills93]

For those who don't like it... DONT WATCH! haha.

[m4kkillottu]

@danielwills93 It's him :)

[jemmytaveras]

was that Robert DeNiro on the video?

[Sebizzar]

Um wow i don't get why people are hating on this wtf it's good...

[C0tK3n]

This guys wants lady gaga etc! THIS SONG FUCKING ROCKS! +1 from greece! this song should be first!

[MamiLascre]

I'm italian, I like this kind of music and he is very talented, so... I love this song!! It is great!!! ...like his new album. :-)

Go and listen to "a three second breathe" or "reality and fantasy" from his album "reality and fantasy"!!! They're even better than this one!!

[LadyGagaChannelVideo]

SECOND PLACE? THIS SONG SUCKS SOO HARD!!!

[giuliodf]

@LadyGagaChannelVideo detto da uno che ha lady gaga come nick....è un complimento! ma vai a cagare te e lady gaga!

[Narukyomo]

@LadyGagaChannelVideo SECOND PLACE? yeah it should've got first place. Wait you don't like it? Oh you like Lady Gaga. That's why. No taste in decent music. I'm sorry that you're stuck with that dear.

[LadyGagaChannelVideo]

@Narukyomo SHUT THE FUCK UP! THIS SHIT SUCKS!!!

[Narukyomo]

@LadyGagaChannelVideo they came in 2nd place. You say it sucks? *laughs manically*

[Musiclove702]

@LadyGagaChannelVideo

Well, goodness! If you don't like this song so much, why do you keep coming back?

You don't like it, okay. We know. Just...stop. Please? So the rest of us can enjoy this song a thousand times over?

[Trulyloyale]

@LadyGagaChannelVideo OH CLOSE YOUR KID'S MOUTH & GET BACK TO LISTEN TO YOUR BELOVED

LadyGaga AND SIMILAR SHIT FOR TASTELESS LOWBRAINED IDIOTS !!!!

THIS SONG IS CLASS AND MUSIC TALENT , SOMETHING SOME PEOPLE CAN'T GET

[Athena97p]

1:06 is it the trumphet or Rephael that sings?^^

thumbs up!

[kitsemets1]

this is ********!!!!!! i hate it

[Jollac2]

I'm italian and many people of my country, like me, hate this song!

[alinnaali]

@Jollac2  why are you hating this song?

[Jollac2]

@alinnaali i've never seen this video and i've never commented it D:

[Deep1Purple2]

this deserved to win! Such a great song! Also the winnder for me :)

Greets from Germany!

[JennaN1337]

I cant like this.. :I

Guess its just not my kind of music.. I mean I can listen to it if I hear i on the radio (witch I wont) but or else I cant.. :I

But its not the worst! Far away! I hate that Azerbaijan won.. Thats a shame cuz Finland should have in my opinion because his song meant something.. ^^

[iloveschriesheim]

@JennaN1337 well in. thanx

[Twinziefly]

Love that song

[ShannyLovee3]

He would have to have the best voice. (Y)

[AceJoyComedy]
