Italy ITALY 2022 - Mahmood and Blanco - Brividi

[escYOUnited]

​

Ho sognato di volare con te
Su una bici di diamanti
Mi hai detto: "Sei cambiato, non vedo
Più la luce nei tuoi occhi"

La tua paura cos'è?
Un mare dove non tocchi mai
Anche se il sesso non è
La via di fuga dal fondo

Dai, non scappare da qui
Non lasciarmi così
Nudo con i brividi
A volte non so esprimermi

E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle
E pagherei per andar via
Accetterei anche una bugia

E ti vorrei amare ma sbaglio sempre
E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi

Tu, che mi svegli il mattino
Tu, che sporchi il letto di vino
Tu, che mi mordi la pelle
Con i tuoi occhi da vipera

E tu, sei il contrario di un angelo
E tu, sei come un pugile all'angolo
E tu scappi da qui, mi lasci così

Nudo con i brividi
A volte non so esprimermi

E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle
E pagherei per andar via
Accetterei anche una bugia

E ti vorrei amare ma sbaglio sempre
E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi

Dimmi che non ho ragione
E vivo dentro una prigione
E provo a restarti vicino
Ma scusa se poi mando tutto a puttane e

Non so dirti ciò che provo, è un mio limite
Per un "ti amo" ho mischiato droghe e lacrime
Questo veleno che ci sputiamo ogni giorno
Io non lo voglio più addosso

Lo vedi, sono qui
Su una bici di diamanti, uno fra tanti
Nudo con i brividi
A volte non so esprimermi

E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle
E pagherei per andar via
Accetterei anche una bugia

E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi​

I couldn't follow Sanremo yesterday, but my question is: it seems like M&B are still the favorites. Is there a chance at all that someone else wins, if so who is still in the run?

Elisa and now Morandi and some say Irama and Il Dito nella piaga, but nobody know because the jury and demospic jury have the power to change everything, but generally sanremo festival in this recent years have won different artists, Elisa, Morandi, Mahomod have won in the past maybe a newcomer won i think maybe Irama, Achille Lauro or Noemi have take part at many edictions maybe sanremo want give the trophy to them.

Thank you for the answer! I am hoping for Irama because in the past days his song actually gew on me a lot. And I just can't get into M&B. Let's see what happens today!

 

[Miss Antartica]

Irama is hot too, but my favourite hunk is Rkomi yesteryday sing semi naked

 

[Looren]

My full ranking

 

[Jopi]

I'm impressed how Irama stayed 4th in the rankings after that drunk party last night?
I mean Gianluca was 100% either drunk or stoned, Irama tried to sing the song and babysit him in the same time.
I guess public really loved it?

 

[Kaz]

I have to say that I am absolutely blown away by Irama's vocal control live. The song could do with a more impactful build but vocally he has been impeccable.

Not found any song I enjoy quite as much as Musica leggerissima last year, but still a pretty great selection! Wouldn't mind any of the current favourites in the odds winning, all of them are quality pop songs as usually is the case. Though if I had to choose, Sangiovanni, M&B, LRDL, D'amico and Morandi are probably the songs that are in my personal top 5.

It is difficult to understand who can win this year. It is true that M&B are favorites (by the jury, by televoting, by the Spotify position and YT views) but Irama (in a greater way, for me) and Elisa (in a lesser way, for me) could be tough opponents to beat. Gianni Morandi, who is doing a good course in Sanremo, could actually be the "bearing singer" in the final at 3. We could also see surprises, LRDL is enjoying great love from Italian fans while Fabrizio Moro will have to settle for a more than just one Top 10. The rest will never have any chance of making it to the final (they will play to reach a good position in the ranking).

To think that Sanremo "does not win the one for bookmakers", that "It will allow the victory of a different singer" or "It will reward the career of a particular singer" is wrong. Sanremo has always accustomed us to Machiavellian strategies but not up to this point. If it has been chosen that a singer must win it does not matter if this singer has already won Sanremo or something else, this singer will win regardless of everything.

Regarding the singers competing there are many who could deserve the stage of the ESC but ... this is only possible in a parallel world where we do not call ourselves "Italy". Our choices must not be good but studied with obsessive attention because the jury is always ready to hit us We have to find the right sound to connect with the majority of the European public. Our strength is only televoting (which according to some users of the forum last year is not democratic and has been plagiarized by the Betting Odds that always see us high ). Often, however, all this is not enough: Jamala conquered everyone with a song about deportation while Moro & Meta, with a social song and well received by the public, were destroyed by the jury If Salvador Sobral were he had been called Salvatore Sobrali he would have been relegated to 23rd position (while I saw smiles full of foaming at the mouth in that edition where he won Portugal ). I could give many other examples

On M&B, I repeat, they may like it or not, but with them Italy would bring a new sound, a new message, something never brought to the ESC Have you ever seen a duo at the ESC singing a song with a poignant text on stage in an urban atmosphere? This song, unlike the homophobia that some users have accused us of (bringing photos of rainbow flags and photos in their messages to show us that their countries are at the forefront of accepting free love ), tells of the latest gasps a love over and of which the gender of the protagonists is never specified. And indeed, some users this year (you can see in past posts), have been wondering if Mahmood was gay If this message had brought him to another country, I am sure he would have become an LGBT anthem and many garments would have been torn up in the throes of strong emotion I conclude that, although last night on the cover they were bad , Mahmood & Blanco have a unique synergy on the stage, two unique voices (especially Mahmood) that perfectly marry and are perfectly inserted in the construction of the song I don't think they can or should win the ESC 2022 (it is possible that some other nation will bring better representatives ) but that they can go a long way. Now I speak in general, definitely not with you Mauve who have always been an educated and rational Eurofans , I do not understand this great fear that hovers around Italian music every year (especially this year where our chance of not winning is high ) . For us Italians an honest Top 10 would be enough (M&B might deserve it ) even if, for some, this eventuality hurts a lot because it would always place us at the top of the quality standard of the European song I'm waiting for the end of Sanremo 2022 and, as expected every year, the destructive locusts will come into action Someone has already considered "Brividi" an overhype

No, I hated it and put it in the last positions in my ranking and criticized it in the forum. My mother told me while she was looking at Irama and Grignani "Grignani sniffed his soul too. This is a fracic drug addict"

I don't think something never brought to ESC, idk the message of it but it reminds me a bit of Amaia & Alfred (which I loved, and the fact I love this one way more shows how much I love it) but anyway am full team M&B, I never thought Mahmood would be my N°1 of SanRemo this year since I personally disliked Soldi

 

[sucof]

Martin Österdahl will be in the front row at the Ariston Theater tonight, I hope he is ready for the marathon!

The message of the song has probably already been brought and I fully agree with you, Morocco2021. But I mean the general construction of the piece. The R & B / Trap genres, mixed in an urban atmosphere that belongs to these genres and the message we have mentioned, all together had never been seen neither in Sanremo nor at the ESC. I still agree with you when you say you didn't think Mahmood would be able to surprise us. He has matured a lot as an artist (as well as Irama, for me the strongest opponent of him, has matured). I'm glad you love the M&B song and I liked your chart.

But then how the f he remained 4th? I doubt press had them high lol
Also I must admit that was one of the most laughable performances in many years of my Sanremo watching. Just pure comedy

I agree ... I felt like I was seeing a performance by a former artist ... all we needed was a piano, some whiskey bottles and a fight. Felt like being in a Far West saloon Probably Irama remained high in the rankings because he has many fans in Italy who voted for him (more for the love for hime and for his song "Ovunque sarai" than for the poor interpretation in the cover night).

 

[Jopi]

Ahaha, yeah that's highly possible.

Do we know something about Eurovision, who declined it, was it only Iva and Emma?

 

[HayashiM]

I think the winner is a singer who has never won sanremo, a singer who is quite well known, so I think Irama will win, I thought that even the list representative could win but they are not famous enough yet, Irama is the only one to near to the top 3. Mahmood and Blanco dont won because bettors' houses do not want them to win they would lose too much money.

Nah, with events that get enough backing bets for most opportunities (which Sanremo most probably is) bettor's houses don't give much care about who wins - they operate more like stockbrokers, effectively letting people bet against each other, always taking a small commission whatever the result is.
The idea they could meaningfully influence the actual result is, for 99% of cases where people claim such things, utterly ridiculous.

Thought I'd make a full ranking before tonight, having now experienced both the live and studio versions of each song. Sadly there were no real growers but instead a couple of faders. Hoping for a Gianni upset or a La Rappresentante di Lista miracle seeing as you won't give us Iva. Whatever you do, pick with your heart as this is your special host entry. That's all that matters.
