The second heat of San Marino’s National selection, 1in360, just aired and the panel of judges chose the songs the acts will perform at the grand final.
After the second heat, the panel of music experts including Zoë Straub, Alessandro Capicchioni and Neon Hitch, have decided as to which artist will be paired with which song. Each artist performed one song in each heat and the judges had to pick which of the two suited the style of the performer better.
However, three artists ended up with the exact same entry, titled “Stay”, written by Zoë & Christoph Straub.

San Marino at Eurovision
San Marino has managed to qualify for the Eurovision final on one occasion thus far. This was achieved in 2014 when Valentina Monetta represented her nation for the third time with Maybe (Forse). On her 4th (and most recent) attempt to bring the Eurovision Song Contest in San Marino, Valentina accompanied by Jimmie Willsion achiever her worst result yet. Despite bringing the party on stage “Spirit of the night” finished last managing to score only one point from the German jury.
