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​

Nice pleasant ballad, though I still don't get the hype around it being a chart-topper, potential Eurovision winner, etc. (and I tend to be a fan of ballads).

Pretty sure it'll do better than the average host entry, mind you, but... yeah, first place feels like it'll be harder to reach than the current odds imply.

in the poll when it goes up, I guess.

Dana International - "Ding dong"..

Gosh i forgot about it it was quite iconic though lfkhwfaf[

 

[Mainshow]

Laura Pausini just confirmed.
They will come to Turin 2022!

She´s the host. I really do hope she will be there in Turin in May!

 

[AlekS]

Finally, the host country that did it right
(almost 10 because of Mahmood's vocals)

 

[ayzelto]

Good choice, even though a would have liked to see someone else winning. Another top 10 for Italy this year. 7 points from me.

 

[CPV4931]

Not my favorite winner, but this smells "grower"... after all again a great edition of San Remo

 

[Mrm]

I think I will give in the poll..there are some vocal issues, especially by Mahmood..I realy like it, but not love it like Masnekin..

 

[nofuxCZ]

Can Italy win twice in a row?
Straight into my #1 and I am sure that after all songs are selected, it will still be high in my ranking.
Congrats on being this good year after year.

 

[Ausesken]

She´s the host. I really do hope she will be there in Turin in May!

She could telework

Yeah, the same like this year Isreal, it barely escaped 0 points in the semi..

 

[JSSArcos]

Choose right again

Italia doing well in my top again.

1 of the season so far

12 points in the poll

 

[Preuss]

By far my numero uno so far this year

Sadly I can't say much...This says it all:

I really like this entry but let´s not forget that "Taken By A Stranger" and "When The Music Dies" happened!

This "My Heart Is Yours" erasure

Before competing, all contestants are required to tell broadcaster Rai whether they would be willing to represent Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest should they triumph. Not every act says ‘sì’, so the winner of Sanremo won’t necessarily join us in May.

We’ll confirm participation as soon as we can.

Mahmood & Blanco win 'Festival di Sanremo' and will represent Italy 🇮🇹

Mahmood & Blanco have won the 72nd Festival di Sanremo with their song 'Brividi' and with it the opportunity to represent Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest on home soil in Turin.

I do not see a huge televoting for it in Turin...maybe jury yes, but even jury always prefer in English (except SWI last year)..
Jury awards the best vocalsts (SWI was the vocal perfection last year) and these 2 won't be ones in Turin definitelly..
And it is not a televoting magnet like Soldi or Maneskin..
Even Soldi didn't win televoting back then...
No way this will win..

let´s not forget that "Taken By A Stranger" happened!

Tha was an amazing host entry!

I like the winning song, but not really love it. I'll give it for now. It might grow on me.

 

[Kairit]

No other nation has as much taste as Italy and I still keep being baffled by it year after year..... My love for the Italian music industry made me learn Italian, and this song and its lyrics are another proof of why. Excellent choices, excellent, beautiful choice here.

We also did good with "Oro", hosting in Belgrade in 2008..but couldn't win obviously..
