San Marino in the Eurovision Song Contest
◄2022 2023 2024►

San Marino participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool, United Kingdom, with the song "Like an Animal" performed by Piqued Jacks. The Sammarinese broadcaster San Marino RTV (SMRTV) organised the national final concept entitled Una voce per San Marino ("A voice for San Marino") to decide their representative. The event consisted of over 1,000 emerging and 32 established artists competing over a five-month period from October 2022 through February 2023 for the opportunity to represent the nation at the contest. The winning entry "Like an Animal" was written by Andrea Lazzeretti, Francesco Bini, Marco Sgaramella, and Tommaso Oliveri.

Promotion of the entry consisted of the release of a music video as well as a tour of a selection of nations participating in the contest, including England, Israel, Poland, Spain, and the Netherlands. San Marino was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the contest, which took place on 11 May 2023. Performing during the show at position 12 in the running order, "Like an Animal" did not qualify to compete in the final. It placed last out of the 16 participating countries in its semi-final, with no points awarded to the nation for the first time in its Eurovision history.

Background[edit]

Prior to the 2023 contest, San Marino had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 12 times since its first entry in 2008.[1] The nation's debut entry in the 2008 contest, "Complice" performed by Miodio, failed to qualify for the final and placed last in the semi-final it competed in.[1] San Marino subsequently did not participate in both the 2009 and 2010 contests, citing financial difficulties.[2][3] It returned in 2011 with Italian singer Senit performing "Stand By", which also failed to take the nation to the final.[1] From 2012 to 2014, San Marino sent Valentina Monetta to the contest on three consecutive occasions.[4] Monetta's first two entries failed to qualify San Marino to the final, however in 2014, she managed to bring the nation to the final for the first time with "Maybe", which eventually placed 24th. Following four consecutive non-qualifying years, San Marino qualified for the final for its second time in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019, where Serhat represented the nation for his second time and finished in 19th place with "Say Na Na Na".[1] For the 2020 contest, Senhit and her song "Freaky!" were to represent the nation, though following its cancellation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, San Marino re-selected Senhit for 2021.[5] Her 2021 song, "Adrenalina", which she performed alongside American rapper Flo Rida, qualified for the final, eventually placing 22nd out of the 26 entries.[1] For the 2022 contest, a competition titled Una voce per San Marino ("A voice for San Marino") was held to select the country's entry.[6] Its selected entrant Achille Lauro and the song "Stripper" failed to qualify for the final.[1] In February 2022, SMRTV confirmed the return of the selection event for the 2023 contest.[7]

Before Eurovision[edit]

Una voce per San Marino[edit]

Una voce per San Marino returned for a second edition to select the Sammarinese entry for the Eurovision Song Contest.[8] This marked the third time that the nation had opted to select their entry with a national final format, the first time being in 2018 with 1in360.[9]

Auditions for Una voce per San Marino were held between October 2022 and February 2023. Interested artists could apply to partake in the event through the official Una voce per San Marino website. There were no restrictions on the nationality of the performer nor the language of the song, though all artists and songs had to comply with the rules of the Eurovision Song Contest as set by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). Artists who proceeded to the next round attended an academy in the Teatro Titano in the City of San Marino from 28 October 2022 and 16 February 2023, acting as preliminary castings. From 20 to 24 February 2023, a series of semi-finals decided the 22 acts that moved on to the final. Established artists were directly invited to the semi-final stage by Media Evolution SRL.[10] As the end of the auditions period approached, a special in-depth show, narrated by Maria Letizia Camparsi and focused on introducing and recapping Una voce per San Marino, was aired on RTV on 24 January 2023.[11][12]

Emerging acts auditions[edit]

A submission period was opened by SMRTV on 20 August 2022 for emerging artists and composers to submit their entries.[13] By 14 October 2022, the broadcaster announced it had received over 400 applications, particularly from Spain, Germany and Norway, but also from other European countries, Canada, the United States and Australia.[14] Near the close of the submission period, SMRTV reported that they had received over 1,000 applications overall from 31 different countries, out of which 299 were selected to take part in the emerging acts round.[15][16] The emerging acts auditions took place during scheduled dates between 28 October 2022 and 27 January 2023.[10]

As the only Sammarinese acts in the selection, Kida and Simone De Biagi were granted a direct pass to the final.[17] The 104 international emerging acts, including both auditionees and established artists who got automatic passes to participate in the semi-finals following their auditions, and their country of origin were as follows:[18]

Second chance[edit]

Before the second chance round, Pjero was initially confirmed among the contestants with the song "Spiderman", but he was later disqualified from the competition as his song had already been released two years earlier on digital platforms, in conflict with the contest rules. Selina Albright was initially selected as an alternate, but dropped out due to logistical reasons; thus, TES – Tutti Esageratamente Stronzi were subsequently selected to compete.[24]

Final[edit]

At the end of the event, Piqued Jacks were declared the winners with their song "Like an Animal". The result was determined by a six-member jury panel consisting of Al Bano (jury president and Italy's 1976 and 1985 Eurovision entrant), Charlotte Davis (British television producer), Steve Lyon (British sound engineer), Clarissa Martinelli (journalist), Antonio Rospini (musician and artistic consultant), and Dino Steward (managing director of BMG Italy).[26][27] Only the placements of the top 10 acts were revealed.[26] The band Piqued Jacks consisted of Francesco Bini (bass), Andrea Lazzeretti (vocals), Tommaso Olivieri (drums), and Marco Sgaramella (guitar).[28]

Promotion[edit]

"Like an Animal" was the last of 2023's Eurovision entries to be released to streaming services, with only live versions being available until its studio version release on 5 April.[29][30] A music video of the song was later released on 27 April and featured the group dressed in 90s-inspired outfits with "flashmob-style choreography".[31]

Piqued Jacks' first live performance of "Like an Animal" following their selection took place on 25 March at an event held in Barcelona at the Palau Sant Jordi. The occasion included past and present Eurovision winners and participants.[32] Other promotional appearances took place in London, Tel Aviv, Madrid, Amsterdam, and Warsaw, the latter of which Piqued Jacks were joined by previous San Marino representative Senhit.[32][33] The group also appeared in print media, having been interviewed about their participation and Eurovision journey by the Italian edition of Rolling Stone.[34]

At Eurovision[edit]

The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 took place at the Liverpool Arena in Liverpool, United Kingdom, and consisted of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 9 and 11 May and the final on 13 May 2023.[35] According to the Eurovision rules, all participating countries, except the host nation and the "Big Five", consisting of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom, are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals to compete for the final; the top 10 countries from their respective semi-finals progress to the final.[36] The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into five different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. On 31 January 2023, an allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, and determined which half of the show they would perform in. San Marino was placed into the 11 May second semi-final, and was scheduled to perform in the second half of the show.[37] Once all the competing songs for the 2023 contest had been released, the running order for the semi-finals was decided by the producers of the contest to prevent similar songs from being placed next to each other. San Marino was set to perform in position 12, following the entry from Georgia and before the entry from Austria.[38] In San Marino, the two semi-finals and the final were broadcast on San Marino RTV and Radio San Marino with commentary by Lia Fiorio and Gigi Restivo.[39]

Performances[edit]

Piqued Jacks performing in Liverpool during a dress rehearsal for the second semi-final.

Piqued Jacks took part in technical rehearsals in Liverpool on 2 and 5 May, and dress rehearsals on 10 May.[40] The latter included the jury show where the professional back-up juries of each country watched and voted in a result used if any issues with public televoting occurred.[41] Greek creative director, choreographer and dancer Nick Marianos led the Piqued Jacks' creative team responsible for the group's stage presence, having previously served in that role for San Marino in 2019 for Serhat's "Say Na Na Na".[42] The group appeared on stage in all black with red details and were surrounded by red screens that at times showed lips and eyes.[28] The group's outfits for several promotional events as well as the contest itself were handled by Tuscan designer Noell Maggini.[42]

At the end of the 11 May second semi-final, San Marino was not among the 10 countries announced as qualifiers for the final.[43] It was later revealed that the nation had placed last in its semi-final, receiving no points.[44]

Voting[edit]

Voting during the shows involved each country awarding sets of points from 1–8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting in the final vote, while the semi-final vote was based entirely on the vote of the public.[45] As San Marino shares its telephone system with Italy, televoting results from the nation were instead produced by jury votes.[46][47] Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent. This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.[48] The exact composition of the professional jury, and the results of each country's jury and televoting were released after the final; the individual results from each jury member were released in an anonymised form. The Sammarinese jury consisted of Francesco Stefanelli, Lewis Busignani, Luca Zucchi, Barbara Andreini, and Sabrina Minguzzi.[49]

In the second semi-final, San Marino finished in last place out of 16 entries and did not receive any points. Romania also did not receive any points, but placed 15th according to the tie-breaking rules, placing it ahead of San Marino. This marked the first time that San Marino had received no points at Eurovision.[50][51] Over the course of the contest, the nation awarded its top 12 points to Lithuania in the second semi-final and to Italy (jury) and Finland (televote) in the final.[44][52] John Kennedy O'Connor served as the Sammarinese spokesperson, announcing the votes awarded by the Sammarinese jury during the final.[53]

Points awarded to San Marino[edit]

In the semi-final, San Marino did not receive any points in the televote.[44]
