Francesco Gabbani - Occidentali's Karma (Italy) LIVE at the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest

[@sofiaperri3143]

Can I say one thing. I don't care if Italy (my country) has not won this Eurovision. I read all these awesome comments of other people (who aren't italian) and I think that winning the contest is not as important as the people's opinions of our music. And if they're good, that's a huge win. Italy loves all of you. Thank you for the sweet words. They means so much to us.

[@jonamedhatten]

I know this is one year old, and I do like the song, but I think it lost because anyone tuning in without knowing the song just heard him sing "sex appeal", "singing in the rain", and "something something karma". It's hard for to the wider audience to care about or sing along to lyrics if they don't speak the language. If the lyrics are a big part of the appeal, that has to be communicated either by language or staging, and he did neither. This leaves over 90% of eurovision viewers that do not speak italian kind of clueless. Not saying the performance or language should have been changed somehow because I like it as it is, but as it is the lyrics aren't really an argument for the song to win.

Let's make a point here. Italy participated on and off to the ESC till 1997 then they stopped until 2011 (and no wonder!) as they considered ESC really too low quality and nobody watched the show in the country anyway. The formula of ESC has always been a sing-along tune happy together etc... Many times (not always of course) Italy sent first class singers and musicians only to finally get scorned out of the competition the comments were: they are too sophisticated too classy etc... This time it was a perfect mix of sound, performance and song itself, which, despite the easy going sound, is quite 'intellectual', even too much for ESC anyway - it was largely acclaimed as the winning song long before the show by critcs and public and it got the Press Award - so what happened next???? I love Sobral's song and voted for him but until last year this kind of song would probably have never reached the grand final and the amount of votes he got is really astonishing. I do not understand, I must admit but congrat.s to the winner, eventually a different one! From Italy

[@ragnhildmd5063]

lan tol i love this song and really wanted for it to win! I even voted for it, and I tend to never use money on votes in Eurovision. i got incredibly disappointed that they didn't win, and even more disappointed when SWEDEN got a place above Italy (wtf).

[@lantol5860]

I agree thanks for sharing

[@gaboltl]

I still don´t understand what happened, I was torn between Italy and Portugal and I was sure Francesco would win the televote. However I would like to point a few things that probably would have impacted the final voting, first that rainbow line on his suit makes no sense at all, also as I read in other video "he looked like he was trying too hard" at points he looked like not having a good time but desperate as he knew that Italy wasn´t the bookings favorite anymore and the whole performance for some weird reason didn´t catch me as much as that from San Remo, yet I still can´t accept that Belgium with that awful live and boring singer and Sweden with yet another plastic trashy song placed better, just unfair.

[@darymarkova]

lan tol lol remember when he wore a rainbow during the amen performance?? he was always an ally, it's not like he just decided to use it for points.

[@ZwockelMonster]

This should've been Top 3 at least, in my opinion this was the best song of the evening. Well done Italy! What a fantastic song - it's been stuck in my head since Saturday. Greetings from Germany!

[@JenLaRock]

Dina thank you :))

[@LeonieSii]

Congratulations to Portugal, but for me Italy is the winner :) Love this song and I love Francesco! His new album is giving me life after Eurovision

[@Rita-lj9tf]

Hello from FRANCE who support its so close neighbor ITALY So original dynamic clever and so true sing about US humans Tks for this moment of lightning just before the dark. ..maybe

I love Francesco's music so much that I'm learning Italian.

[@elisabeteoliveira5808]

I am from Portugal and I think Italy should have won, I love the Portuguese song but the one from Italy was amazing! even Salvador Sobral liked :) keep your great work Francesco, lots of love from Portugal :)

[@maxdelpo5578]

Elisabete Oliveira Thank you for your support. it's OK the victory of Portugal but I don't think that he liked Gabbani's song. in fact, he said "it's good that fireworks songs are not the winner one"

[@elisabeteoliveira5808]

Max Delpo he liked, he said it was a song with a strong meaning :)

[@queenofspades2365]

Max Delpo Oh yes but Salvador did state in one of interview that Italy's song was about the only one be truly liked because even though it's a "party song", it also has witty lyrics with an intellectual meaning :)

[@br3menPT]

Salvador aprecciated the songs from Italy, Finland and Belgium..they said that they even made covers :)

[@denisejonessmith7175]

Nah the songs who got directly to the final don't deserve to win. That is unfair to just instantly get to the final.

I'm British and this is one of the best songs ever!!! I downloaded it and still listen to it my car!

[@victorruiz3326]

Great song, great lyrics, great performance, full of charisma. It was simply perfect and it should have won the contest. I feel envy how Italy brought so much class and ellegance, and a song with a strong beat and lyrics that describe perfectly our current society. Congratulations and well done, Italy. I love you. Regards from Spain

This is the best Italian entry of all time for me and it doesn't even come close. Not only the song is perfect and the staging colorful, bright and overall specacular but the lyrics' deep philosophical nature is what utterly wins me over. 🇬🇷❤🇮🇹

King Francesco! 😍 I'm in tears. Thank you so much Italy for this entry and this amazing artist! ❤

[@zanderdrivescars]

Makes me so happy to see an ESC crowd vibin and singing along to a song. Warms the soul dude.

[@Kunstpost]

Thank you Francesco. With 113 million views on your original entry you send us a powerful message. You should have won if people would have taken the time to really absord your lyrics. Many did though Grazie milla!! You are an artist who dare to say what should be said! Love!!

[@ForceMajeureMNE]

113 million views - you said everything. :)

[@ileana5]

Greetings from Romania! I voted for Italy with all my heart! I think it was the best song in Eurovision this year. I liked it from the first moment I heard it. Portugal song is nice, but this one is on repeat :)

[@sergeyasikyan426]

I told about Gabbani and now I want to say that all Italian enteries are amazing beautiful powerful and fantastic and I don' understan why???why Italy haven't won ESC since 2011??Italy is always on my top 5!!!!!!Italy thanks for theese amazing songs!!!LOVES AND GOOD KUCK FROM ARMENIA

succede ogni anno... infatti ogni anno ripeto che non vinceremo mai perché i paesi con i vicini "amici" che si scambiano i voti sono avvantaggiati...noi invece stiamo antipatici a tutti, e ricambiamo! tutti...tranne San Marino fino a quest'anno

[@blagovestatodorova4050]

I am bulgarian and I like our song, but this year the true winner is Italy. I love this song - it's my new favorite. Can't stop listening! Thank you, Francesco! Kisses from Bulgaria to the most beautiful country! Namaste! #Rome2019

tbh this is the only song i listen the most in daily basis after the contest end... and i already download his latest album and it is amazing!!!! thank you Francesco Gabbani for your music,, you'll always be my winner,, cheers from Indonesia...

I prefer that Italy wins Eurovision in 2017 than 2021! Francesco Gabbani was the best for me!

Yess :( it is been almost 10 months and i am sad about it :((

I think probably second best song to not win. Right behind Il Volo from 2015. They got ROBBED.

[@eveisnotaneevee]

Agreed, I love this song! I cant stop listening to it XD

[@tommaso9550]

In my opinion, Europe doesn't deserve Italian Music. Gabbani - "Occidentali's Karma", Il Volo - "Grande Amore", Ermal Meta & Fabrizio Moro - "Non mi avete fatto niente" and Mahmood - "Soldi": at least one of these songs deserved to win Eurovision Song Contest.

[@zulya8858]
