There are a number of songs that was selected to represent some countries in the contest, but for a variety of reasons the songs never made it to the Eurovision stage. In this series of posts we are going to remind you some of these songs.

Italy 2016

Italy in 2016 selected Stadio and their song “Un giorno mi dirai” to sent in Stockholm. The group decided to turn down the offer to represent Italy in Eurovision. Stadio had already planned a number of performances during May, so it was unable to perform in Eurovision. Rai, chose Francesca Michielin, Sanremo’s runner-up, to sing in Stockholm. Francesca placed 16th with 124 points.
