Smoothen is a real word (at least in some dictionaries), unlike most of the words milton comes out with.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. they cut my favourite verse I don't think it will matter to people who hear it for the first time but, still, I wish they had cut a different part.
I had just warmed up to Italy's song when this... revamp came out, and I'm not sold. I agree that it won't make a difference to people who hear it for the first time, but I feel like the song ends 1 minute in, since most of the verse is out. It's just a drawn-out finale with way too much chorus. It'll take some getting used to for those of us who have the original version in mind. I'm glad they didn't tag more English to it.
Fun facts: 1 - Italy video clip has become the most watched Eurovision video ever, beating the previous record that belonged to Il volo and Alexander Rybak 2 - Lys Assia favourite song of the year is Italy (HFW ) (her full top 10 is as follow: 1 - Italy, 2 - Portugal, 3 - Belgium, 4 - Austria, 5 - UK, 6 - San Marino , 7 - Switzerland, 8 - France, 9 - Australia, 10 - Denmark). Let us not forget her previous favourites include: 2014 Axel Hirsoux - Mother , 2015 Morland & Deborah - A Monster Like Me, 2016 - Ira Losco - Walk On Water. She seems to have an eye picking winners
