San Marino, a small city state inside Italy, is sending Achille Lauro with the song “Stripper.” Fun fact: last year San Marino’s entry featured Flo Rida.

San Marino will perform in the second semi-final.

Ursula’s thoughts: The national performance of this song left a lot wanting and it did come across as an off brand Maneskin, the winners of last year’s contest. HOWEVER, after hearing the song a couple more times it has grown on me and the sneak peaks of the Eurovision performance are *chef’s kiss*

Christa’s Thoughts: I did not like this song at all, and then I saw the rehearsal footage. Please enjoy:
