It's official:
he will be the presenter and every evening he will be accompanied by a guest who has made the history of the festival in these 70 years

on December 17th the rai broadcasts the selection for new talent on rai 1 and will name the participants of the edition of SANREMO 70

My sister’s listening so much on «Occidentali’s Karma» and «Soldi» lately
With better staging, perhaps they’d win twice

 

[Kaz]

Obviously this is never going to happen but I would LOVE for Italy to go for something super outlandish like this band Nava. With killer staging this would be such a drastic but unique change for Italy and I would probably cry of happiness

 

[Preuss]

I'm already hyped for the Sanremo festival

"Barrio" is a GEM!

Great song by Mahmood!! He was my number two this year behind Ducan.

I´m already excited about the Italian entry next year, since their return the only entries I didn´t like at all where "Madness of Love" and "Grande Amore". I would really love to see them winning in the next decade and host the contest in Italy.

So I say: Forza ! !

RUMOR: No newcomers vying for Sanremo's main category next year

Amadeus, presenter and artistic director of Sanremo 2020, illustrated the formula of the next Festival, which should go to make up the new Regulation (not yet available in its final version).

According to previews, there will be 20 "Big" (known artists) and 8 "Youth" in the race; unlike last year, the latter will compete in a section dedicated exclusively to them (like 2017 and 2018). Participants in the Youth section will be eight: five will be chosen through "Sanremo Giovani", two will be the winners of "Area Sanremo" and one will be the winner of "Sanremo Young".

Well, it looks like the predicted will happen. Older artists didn't like to see a young man coming from "Sanremo Giovani" winning the main category last year :roll:

Mika in Sanremo

 

[hunty73]

If Mika did Sanremo i reckon a duet with Chiara might just challenge the win with the right song.He knows Chiara deserves better than she has had and i bet he is tempted.

international guests return to the next festival of sanremo

 

[Turnip]

Hoping Franny Michielin comes back and gives it another shot next year, NDOS deserved better

Hoping Franny Michielin comes back and gives it another shot next year, NDOS deserved better

Glad that there is at least one person that shares this opinion with me

I'm lowkey hoping Italy will never win again, considering RAI's hypotetical handling of the contest. I seriously don't believe they're capable of putting up a modern and international show, even though I've noticed they seem to care much more than they used to in 1991, when they last hosted. Not to mention how much nervous and anxious I'd be thinking that Italy could potentially look bad and disorganized to Europe.

I remember hearing that prior to 2017's Grand Final, given Gabbani's high chance of winning that year, heads of the EBU asked the Italian delegation if they would use the help of the Swedish team to organize the contest in case of victory. They said they'd arrange everything on their own, similarly to what Germany did in 2011.

Just out of curiosity, I want to list some questionable things RAI has done throughout history:

-They let Stevie Wonder flop in Sanremo 1969 (his song didn't qualify for the final)
-Same as above but with Lara Fabian in 2015
-When asked to, they refused to record Beatles's one and only Italian tour in 1965, stating that "Nobody will remember them in a couple of months"
-They forced Freddie Mercury to sing Radio Gaga in playback when they invited Queen as guest stars in Sanremo 1984. Freddie was upset about their decision, no wonder why you can see him intentionally taking the mic away from his mouth during the perfomance to clearly show the audience he was not singing live

Where would the ESC be held in case wins in the future?? Rome?? Milan?? Or somewhere else?? Are there large enough halls in Italy??
