Miodio and their Complice was my second favorite entry in Eurovision 2008(after Divine) .
But to be objective i think it deserved no place in the top 10 of the first semi final . Miodio and their wonderful modern song would deserve a top 5 result in a merely song contest , not in a Eurovision song contest ...!
I hope next year , San Marino sends a big Italian Star like Eros Ramazzotti . This is just my hope tho...!!!!
Blunt is touring Europe at the moment but his latest album failed to match(or even produce hit singles) the success of the previous one. But he's already popular so i don't see the reason to take part in a contest that immigrants vote for their homelands.
I'd love to see Adele, Mika for the Uk but this adorable article is for San Marino 
That's right Stockholm. On June 19 and 20!
Jonny K:
James Blunt would be just great 
Try to persuade him! I read that he will be touring Europe now, starting in Reykjavik tomorrow.
Mina Carnation:
I think James Blunt will be in Greece next week.
Come back again!
Mina Carnation, yeah James Blunt would be great, but I doubt he would be interested in eurovision, his career is quite big enough already, however I haven't heard much of him recently . . . . so maybe eurovision could revive his career.
Stockholm Calling:
Oh yeah, I forgot bagpipes!!
Please San Marino, come back next year. I've liked "Complice" since the first time I heard it, top 5 for me in the semi. It's a shame that this beautiful song ended up last.
(David Beckham, teletubbies, Elton John) and bagpipes.
I have to agree with what a lot of people are saying. I always like Miodio's song before the contest but on the night I thought it was excellent and I am really disappointed for San Marino that they came last because they didn't deserve it.
Shows the disadvantage that some credibility does to an act at Eurovision - just ask Sebastien Tellier
Any chance to send James Blunt? I suppose he wouldn't be interested in eurovision but I love that guy.
David Beckham it is then (with teletubbies and elton john for backing singers!) lol
Wish You All The Luck..What A Pitty Miodio Dont Pass!....And Last Place???....I dont Think So!
If David Beckham just stands next to the Uk singer in the next ESC, I guarantee you'll win. And he won't even have to dance or anything..just stand there.
lol
Well teletubbies 2009 it is then!!!
Ivan Rus:
lol, good idea!! Or how about if we send the queen singing on stage with Elton John and the teletubbies
Jonny K
well all 12points will go to UK for sure... especially if Elton John will be playing at the piano and the teletubbies will be standing behind it
I first listened to the song in the semifinal and i liked it a lot!! OF course it got my vote :-)
Go San Marino! Don't give up! Andorra was 12th in the "tough" semifinal in 2007!
ps: hope they do something & let televoting decide!
Jonny K
LOL great idea, maybe Spice girls together with David Backham
Keith Timmons:
Actually thats quite a good idea!!!! Or we could send our figure skating champion, violinist of the year, our best latex puppet, our finest drag queen and a song in every language in europe . . . . . we might just have it in the bag then!!!
@Jonny K:
"Send better songs!!"
Mina Carnation:
hehe well in the UK we need all the points we can get!! 
''And I really really hope San Marino come back next year, because hopefully the UK can rely on them for a few points in the future''
LOL, good point Jonny.
I really like complice now. When it was first revealed I wasn't a big fan, but now I love it. 
Maybe that was the problem on the night, the song doesn't grow on you immediatly with just one play, but over time it does, however most of the viewers only saw it once 
Shame
And I really really hope San Marino come back next year, because hopefully the UK can rely on them for a few points in the future!
San Marino should really send L'Aura!
Well, it was certainly one of the best songs of this ESC (if perhaps with somewhat crappy lyrics). To me such a thing a greater success than just showing up and getting points from people who don't vote for songs but have other criteria.
Withdraw is the best solution !!!!!!!!!
This year San Marino had bad song,but I hope that next year they will have better one...I am so glad to hear Italian on Eurovision...
How on earth they came last in the 1st semi I don't know. Before the contest this was one of my favourites, and it still is now! I hope they don't let it discourage them and come back, and set a good example to my country (the UK) not to complain bitterly and come up with pathetic excuses for not doing well.
