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.

[@the_kosd]

What's wrong with them? I think they don't like pizza, i don't care no one of Gualazzi, Mengoni, Il Volo, Francesca Michielin, Gabbani, MetaMoro and Mahmood won... we waited for a win for 10 years...

[@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.

ITALY WON IN OUR HEARTS

[@rubengroen2934]

ESC Turin please give this legend an act in the show! This is one of the best and timeless songs ever to be on Eurovision

[@thelisapisa]

LOOK at how the crowd goes crazy!!!THAT IS HOW EUROVISION HAS TO WORK!!! THIS SONG DOES NOT DESERVE 6TH.. THIS SONG IS THE REAL WINNER!!!!!!

[@WorldFarAway]

I don´t know what it is, but there´s something about him, that just warms my heart!

[@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]

Leonie Sii You have my respect 😯

[@eskodz6566]

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

[@Luubelaar]

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

The Real Winner in ESC 2017

[@bkresc8271]

I have voted for you Italy ! Since 2012 ! From France

[@KarinApplefield]

I'm Portuguese and I really loved this song!! Of course I'm happy that my country won but, if Portugal didn't make it, I was really, really hoping that Italy would be the winner. This song is great and deserved way better than 6th place!! Lots of love from Portugal!

[@Johan-ct3xg]

This guy won San Remo (the best music contest in the world) 2 years in a row and he absolutely shattered the record for most views on youtube with his song. So even if he didn't get the plastic trophy, he is still the true winner.

Maria 05 Grazie a te!!! Viva Grecia e Italia!!! Ed anche la storia delle due nostre Nazioni!Linda,Italia

[@normalantip973]

The real winner,thanks Italy for this song, you beautified Eurovision, the Portuguese song is not for victory! Greetings from Serbia

[@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 :))

[@lantol5860]

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.

[@coentraoseb]

One of the best ever played in Eurovision. Italy is always doing amazing performances, really love it!!

[@pikosapikos13]

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. 🇬🇷❤🇮🇹

[@HahaVids]

Every year I discover amazing new singers! Thanks Italy!

[@tourus90]

12 points from Molise!!!!!

[@lilianamoscardi4765]

donato c ma allora esistete😨😨😨

[@foro2117]

GENIO. VIVA L'ITALIA,VIVA L'ABRUZZO, VIVA IL MOLISE. 12 punti da L'Aquila

[@tourus90]

Liliana Moscardi eh si, il Molise esiste ..ma è stato da anni tenuto in segreto dal territorio italiano per poter votare Francesco questa sera! stasera siamo tutti Molisani!

[@Lordtriplap]

donato c per quello abbiamo perso ahah

[@tourus90]

Andrea Pappe Pasinato In vista dell'Eurovision del prossimo anno scomparirà dalle carte nazionali anche la Basilicata, così, forse dovremmo farcela, e se non ci riusciremo, allora faremo votare anche pecore, ciucci e capre. ''12 points from Molise and Basilicata''. Namastè!

[@byGiNeSiToX]

The crowd is singing along... THIS SHOULD HAVE WON!!

[@natl5692]

I'm still not over this song and this year. Damn was this year good

[@mfbuned]

¡Fantástico! Elegante, sarcástico, divertido. Esencia Italiana en estado puro. Complimenti dalla Spagna!

[@UntitledGiirl]

This song is just memorable. Catchy music, great lyrics and a super charismatic singer. You did well Francesco!

[@annapozhidayeva]

I still can't believe he didn't win. My absolutely favorite Eurovision song ever!

[@A06K11]

My winner ♥️🇮🇹, this song never fails to put me on a great mood, I still get pumped up after hearing it as if it were the first time. You are amazing Francesco!

[@f1_championship_ita771]

Ja sam iz italije, Hvala za sve komentare koje pisete od italije❤

[@KajsaBernhardina]

The real winner! I absolutely love this song

[@dorinavasile3651]

Ma quale giuria di qualità ???? quando tutti paesi si sono votati tra loro per la loro vicinanza territoriale .

[@candidshadowcollections6670]

guarda il lato positivo. a noi manco quelli.

[@xpetroniax]

Dorina Vasile è vero abbiamo capito che noi non abbiamo vicini... solo Albania e Malta! :-P

[@l.m.1846]

Manco San Marino! Che grandissima delusione!

[@GabDiT_14]

Liana Martini San Marino mi ha fatto davvero cadere le palle ieri sera...😂

[@alessandrolex8294]

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

[@alemosna7839]

Welcome to another episode of: Italy should have won

I think Italy was the Real Winner in 2017 😍🤍🤍

[@passioneblu_1325]

Jean-François SELINGUE Merci!

[@aleksandrapocinska8588]

Love this song for its lyrics - they reflect my views on western european society. I voted for you Italy! Greetings from Poland. Loved the irony :') TOO TRUE TO HAVE WON

[@magitalia]

Dzieki, dzieki, dzieki. Francecso - the best!! :-)

[@Simon-te3gu]

Aleksandra Płocińska thanks

[@pierluigimiscioscia7036]

Thank you! I think that the juries that gave us only a few points didn't get the meaning and the irony of the song at all... they just looked at the gorilla and the catchy dance

[@jesefn8638]

[@theoneandonly25]

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

[@carman2901]

Italy always makes successful songs

[@itsermiandr]

When the whole crowd screams "ALLE!!!!!! "😍😍😍

[@indino88]

I love both the song and Francesco charisma!!

[@Melissa-kh2hj]

"We love this song omg winner!" "115 million views!" "I love Italy!" "Pizza pasta lasagne!!!" NON VI MERITATE NIENTE

[@river85]

per la serie: molto rumore per nulla.

[@Unicornodiplomatico]

Cazzo se è vero

[@Melissa-kh2hj]

Madonna quanto mi fanno incazzare, su San Marino non mi esprimo.

[@Foc4ccin4]

Su San Marino c'è solo una cosa da fare: mandiamo i carabinieri di Rimini...dovrebbero essere abbastanza per conquistare quella Petoria di voltagabbana.

[@jorgefabriciovilte8115]

Italy is the best of Big Five always

[@BlackRose-vj4nf]

The Italian entries are my favorites so far! I cannot understand why the juries do not vote for them!

[@Damadelquattrocento]

Alla faccia che lo davano per favorito, pensavo che la sfida fosse fra Italia e Portogallo 😤 quel sesto posto nun se po' guarda'

[@dav87x]

Guarda che i favoriti non vincono mai. Questione di psicologia e logica.

[@Damadelquattrocento]

Davide Golia sì che possono, Emelie De Forrest era la favorita ed ha vinto

[@dav87x]

Ovvio che non è una legge assoluta. :D Ma in genere non è una cosa a tuo favore, soprattutto per le canzoni non d'amore. (Poi dipende da caso a caso. Se sei favorita e poi smetti di esserlo un po' prima della finale, è più facile vincere ad esempio.)

[@Damadelquattrocento]

Davide Golia presumo che tu non l'abbia seguito per bene, perché proprio ieri Gabbani era sceso dal podio, secondo posto per via del Portogallo, quindi inutile che commenti a caso.. Bye

[@Damadelquattrocento]

matteo dannoso tesoro, è proprio perché l'ho seguito attentamente che sono doppiamente arrabbiata.. Neanche il Volo era stato sabotato così schifosamente!

[@timv17]

I really loved this song and I'm still gutted this one didn't win (I'm Dutch btw). I think a very important reason Italy didn't win is because they didn't (have to) participate in the semi-finals. Italy was on 1st place with the bookmakers from February non-stop up until one day before the final, when the Portuguese song impressed and caught momentum. From that point on, it's very hard to impress everyone when you only get once to perform your song. I think many people will share my idea that with many ESC songs, at first you think they're garbage but they eventually grow on you because you've heard them a couple of times. Even though it seemed like everyone in the audience knew then song, it was only the first time the entire European televoting public got to hear and see it, and I really think that's what costed Italy the victory. Sometimes being automatically qualified for the final can be a burden.

[@maxdelpo5578]

Tim Vergoossen Indeed. Going direct to the final, it's not a good win, at all

[@marijaprotulipacmarkovic7670]

Italy 2015, 2017, 2019...and 2021 ! :D

[@axl6605]

This song stay's in my spotify

[@arzujabrayil4070]

ICON of Eurovision 2017. Salvador can be a winner, but Francesco is well-deserved Icon of the ESC 2017.

[@23PearlBlack]

still can't believe how this Song got 6th Place, umbelievable

[@maltheIDM]

23PearlBlack as in... that's too low? Or too high?
