Chiara & Martina — known to many as the Scarpari Sisters — have today unveiled their Junior Eurovision 2015 song “Viva”. As you can tell from the one English lyric — life is right here — this song is all about loving life and living it to the full. Musically this has a retro quality, taking us back to the joyous days of late 80s, early 90s easy listening…but with the slightest rock edge. There’s something very Peppermints-minus-three-members about this. But ya know what? We like it!
Gigi D’Alesso, a well-known Italian singer who has sold more than 20 million records worldwide, wrote the song. His first seven albums came out in the 90s, which may explain the throwback feel of this. You may know his 2006 duet with Lara Fabian “Un cuore malato”.
Chiara & Martina sound amazing live, so we have a feeling this song will slay when we hear it on stage. They know how to imbue music with emotion and passion…so watch out!
What do you think of the song? Double your pleasure, double your fun? Or just double trouble?!
dull, dull, dull.
It’s nice. But that’s it, just nice. Clearly another “we don’t want to win again” song.
This is the winner, with Australia close behind!
Wow! I hate it!!
Boring. I think Italy doesn’t want to win again. This will need to perform 17th on the night will it be in top 10. My top:
1. Australia
2. Slovenia
3. The Netherlands
4. Ukraine
5. Albania
6. F.Y.R. Macedonia
7. Russia
8. Belarus
9. Serbia
10. Armenia
11. eorgia
12. Italy
The chorus reminds me of the past hit: “Yummi Yummi Yummi, I got love in my tummy” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6Zs8qbExfs
Putting the familiarity aside, the song just doesn’t leave any particular impact.
It’s like we’ve heard hundreds of songs like this before. As much as the twins work great together and sing on pitch, it doesn’t ask from them to get out of their comfort zone or show any quality that puts them on a whole other level than the other acts.
It’s Shine for JESC!
I really don’t like this. But hoping the live would make me like this like Italy did last year
The end is amazing !! I hope its the new “I Pio Omerfa Mera” or something 🙂 love this my third !! Still waiting for the audio from Albania !!
I love this ! Finally a not long-boring ballad !! Go girls ????

Very disappointing. I had high hopes. Would’ve been good with better production. Sounds like something San Marino would send to ESC.
I kinda like it, it is pleasent 😛
Italy was my favorite last year with Belarus and Ukraine, but this year is now out of TOP 10 from 12 till now.
Song don t deserved to be in TOP 10 from 12 countries till now, but because song is from Italy, i see this song and Italy in TOP 5 in Junior Eurovision final

It’s cool, it’s very Italian and the fact that they are twins makes it even better.
