Italy ITALY 2015 - Il Volo - Grande amore

[Catia]

I had the opportunity to be in Sanremo at the Festival's Week. It's not the same thing I KNOW but their organisation impressed me quite a lot, mostly because my personal idea about it wasn't the best if RAI puts the same effort as in Sanremo, I don't have any doubt that will surprise a lot of people

You all have a strange stereotypical idea of Italy, turn up the ass from the chair as Catia and see that will change your mind!
No tv in the world produces a show live for 5 nights following that last four hours, as the Sanremo Festival! nobody even in America!
Sanremo and 'a complex organization, and not imagine how' difficult each year to organize it, choose the singers, the right songs, the international guests etc ...the scenery, the organization of security etc .. this year attended more than 1,600 journalists from around the world in two press rooms!
The eurovision does is collect singers already selected and show them! stop

this is sanremo! class quality and what is lacking in the Eurovision!

Nobody is saying Italians are lazy or something. It's just that the last time RAI hosted the Eurovision they did a terrible job. 25 years have passed though and I'm sure whenever they win again they'll do a great job.

Eurovision can feel quite different depending on the host nation and Italy is socially much more conservative than Sweden, for example.

I believe that the main aim for an hosting broadcaster is to provide an excellent and entertaining music show, that's it

I bet my left kidney that this is going to be the most voted song by juries
Otto Punti per i Nostri Vicini

Which you will do with great ease

I'm also surprised that we had not one but two songs that weren't in English in our top 10. Usually we like to hear "is it weird that your ass reminds me of a Kanye West song?" or "you know what to do with that big fat butt…wiggle wiggle wiggle" or "baby you a song, you make me want to roll my windows down and cruise" or "so la da di da di we like to parTY dancing with molLY" in English.

The top 3 actually make perfect sense for the U.S.

We still hear some Avicii/Guetta on the radio, Uptown Funk is close to breaking chart record for most weeks at #1 and Josh Groban/Andrea Bocelli are pretty popular with the adult crowd as well. Not to mention Sanremo grande amore was top 10 on the classical charts and Il Volo had a very successful U.S. tour last year.

The others are pretty in vogue with certain parts of the population as well. The only one that's kind of a mystery is Electro Velvet but I guess people just thought it was fun

Wow! We have double commentary for the final to choose from. Such a luxury!

I'm so happy that our broadcaster RAI finally got it seriously about Eurovision! This is a fully-committed TV on it!!! Great job!!!!!
