San Marino's hero, Valentina Monetta, will be once again represent San Marino at the Eurovision. Her first attempt for the micro nation happened in 2012, with "The Social Network Song (Uh oh oh oh)". She did fairly well for the nation, scoring their best score to date then - 13th (despite that she was tipped for the bottom place along with Montenegro). Then it was revealed that Valentina would once again represent San Marino at the 2013 edition in Malmo. Despite being the 2nd fan favourite, she came 11th - but achieving the country's best and closest to qualifying score.And Valentina will once again represent the San Marino in 2014.
Recently, people have been questioning SMTV, San Marino's broadcaster, as to how it is funded. In fact, SMTV fund nothing. Everything is funded by the participant and their sponsors. So Valentina has full control over her song, SMTV simply provide her the gateway to enter.
It's been revealed that Valentina will unveil her song in January. The song is suspected to be composed by Ralph Siegel or Valentina herself. How we know this is simple... the song will be featured in her 2nd album (following La Storia de Valentina Monetta). And all songs on the album will either be written by herself or Mr. Siegel. Mr. Siegel is no stranger to Eurovision, however he has only composed one winning song. Will it be a second in 2014? Tell us what you think.
Ralph Siegel has composed both Valentina's entries; The Social Network Song (Uh Oh Oh Oh) and Crisalide (Vola).
Take a listen at the 2012 song:
