Damiano David from the Italian Eurovision winning group Maneskin?

I'm 44. I actually googled tickets for Eurovision 2022. I'm not far off adding up the number values of the letters in our respective last names and adding them up in my jotter to see if we are a match Grin

I know I AIBU but bloody hell he's hot

Who are you on about? Just wondering.

Gluestick80 · 06/06/2021 11:53

Just ordered a mug and coaster as well now should I have bath towel as well

I can’t see anything on funky pigeon. Sad

Holothane · 06/06/2021 16:16

Go to presents for her then personlized mug

YABU to click bait the thread title like that.

'Damiano David' would have easily fitted but you've forced people to have to open your thread.

Yes and thank goodness I did open the thread to find others who share my obsession 😂

The YouTube algorithm has clearly taken note of my stalking and just suggested me this video Grin

Meghan Markle 🤣🤣

I love how we are all different! For me, he is perfect. My best friend always jokes she can spot my type a mile off (tall, slim, rocker, strong nose 🤣) and had texted before the end of Eurovision to point him out to me (as if I hadn't already noticed!). Lovely DH is also my type of course and bless him very tolerant of my Damiano obsessions!

Have been listening to For Your Love over and over today. Found this interview from a few months ago. Will check out your vid now @WallinoMio!

embarrassingcrushtoo · 06/06/2021 21:09

Love the 'naughty' video, @WallinoMio GrinGrin

@melisma, your video is all Greek Italian to me. Is it meant to have English subtitles, or has your Italian just improved super-duper quick? Grin

I think my hormones have now calmed down which is a relief, after Damiano turned me tenporarily into a complete obsessive. I can now actually work without needing a video fix. Phew. However, I genuinely love their music now, so am continuing with my quest to improve my Italian enough to actually understand some of the very cool lyrics.

Still enjoying the links so keep posting though!

melisma · 06/06/2021 22:11

Whoops sorry - wrong link Grin

melisma · 06/06/2021 22:43

Oh and @embarrassingcrushtoo thank you for the "home studio" video- you are right, I loved it! They are so sweet. I hope they stay as humble as they seem now, it will serve them well, as I have a feeling they are about to go stratospheric.

3CCC · 06/06/2021 22:47

You'd have to fight him off me op. I've been proper fancying him for like the past 2 weeks. Yanbu

melisma · 07/06/2021 00:14

Welcome to the club @3CC!

embarrassingcrushtoo · 07/06/2021 03:21

"Proper fancying" = the technical term for the mysterious condition we've all been struck down with Grin

eekbumbler · 07/06/2021 03:29

Had to Google to make sure... You mean the poor man's Perry Farrell? You can keep him. Perry all the way.

Apparently our whippersnappers have been accused of plagiarism by some poor losers.

melisma · 07/06/2021 20:44

#teamwhippersnapper all the way! I went to listen to the song they are accused of plagiarising- there is a vague similarity in the beginning riff but it ends there! Big things for them as I also read they have left their long term manager this week too...

Holothane · 08/06/2021 13:10

Ooh my coasters turned my mugs on the way, dh rolled his eyes wait till sees the duvet cover then for Saturday nights .

Yes, me and DD listened and said, well, maybe the first 10-15 seconds or so. I told DD the Mumsnet masses would make placards and take flasks of hearty broth and tie ourselves to railings etc in his defence if necessary.

I love this !!!!

@Nikki360 let’s just say I’ve always had crushes but this Eric one just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥me let’s just he hits me like no other crush has, (sighs and dreams)

everyleafy · 08/06/2021 16:50

Haha I love that this thread is still going. My obsession is starting to die down now (only a little!) I genuinely like the whole band though, I think they're a breath of fresh air.

I'm really hoping they do some shows in the UK soon

melisma · 08/06/2021 21:29

@everyleafy @embarrassingcrushtoo I agree, my initial insanity has calmed slightly too. Obviously I still appreciate Damiano's utter gorgeousness but am also just really enjoying their music now and looking forward to seeing what they do next. Drove the kids mad today constantly humming Le Parole Lontane 😆

I'm calming down a bit now as well ☺️ still mention them at least once a day though !

HollaHolla · 09/06/2021 01:17

I’ve been listening to loads of their music on Spotify. I’m really enjoying it. The addition of DD being sexy as fuck/a sweetheart is a bonus - and the others seem great too.
Enjoying having discovered a new band for a long car journey at the end of last week. Smile

melisma · 09/06/2021 07:45

Aww, we're all turning into proper fans now and not just lust addled vipers Grin
