When San Marino’s Valentina Monetta warmed up at the London Eurovision Party, her pitch-perfect delivery inspired William and Deban to pull out their cameras. Valentina has long been one of our favourites. But when she started dropping vocal flourishes Mariah Carey-style at London’s Shadow Lounge, she reminded us just how much she has evolved in the past year. She is no longer the keyboard-tapping singer behind “The Social Network.” She is Valentina 2.0—a rising star, our Sammarinese idol and a real contender to win Eurovision 2013.

Below you can see two videos of Valentina in action. There is no audience because this was her soundcheck hours before the actual concert.

Valentina warms up those amazing vocal chords:
