Italy ITALY 2023 - Marco Mengoni - Due Vite

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[AliceEsc]

results yes but then i will watch darts PL from last evening in cardiff.

I had to google that to understand, so I definitely need sleep

 

[njdevils94]

First another guest act.

 

[MS.]

Ultimo very happy with this remontada
The press just hates him... and this isn't very fair.

 

[nudiecrudi]

I'm shocked Madame is out the top 5

General Ranking, Night 3:

 

[MS.]

Mr Rain with an excellent 3rd position too. He was hugely underrated by the press too

 

[njdevils94]

Big gains for Mr. Rain up to 3rd and Ultimo up to 2nd. Lazza is still in the top 5 as well. Elodies, Madame and Colapesce Dimartino all dropped. The latter going from 2nd to 8th place.

Guessing Ultimo and Mr. Rain went really big in the tele-vote but don't know for sure.

Olly was 24 on this list. Typo putting Will there.

 

[AlekS]

Ultimo - overrated.

Madame and Elodie - RIP robbed queens

 

[AliceEsc]

Madame and Levante too low, don't get me started with the bottom two, which I really like!
Happy for Ultimo!

 

[HayashiM]

Quite a fall for Colapesce Dimartino, but perhaps that only means we are again seeing some very close %, just as 2 years ago.

 

[Deleted member 12761]

I'm happy for Mr. Rain!

 

[esc87fan]

Looks like Marco's got this in the bag now

 

[lasse braun]

the top5 after 3 days are not so interesting - lazzo is ok and also modern - the rest is cliche & lads.

what is going on in the stream?
aftershowparty?

Youtube trends (general) right before Night 3:

And the winner is ... the staged drama with flowers (*sings Miley Cyrus*)

Marco lost to "Brividi". Mahmood & Blanco had 3.3 million for the video and 2.7 million for the live performance on the first Night, 3.3 million on Spotify.

Quite close race on Spotify (Night 1 only)

 

[DanielLuis]

Madame and Levante are easily my top 2 for now, I'm sad to see they don't seem to have much of a chance.
I wonder if San Remo will ever have a female winner again, at this point.
I'm not really feeling Marco's song, it's decent and his performance is amazing but there's something missing there, it would be the weakest Italian entry in a long while. Besides Madame and Levante the standouts for me are Lazza, Tananai, Elodie, Mara Sattei and Rosa Chemical. Ultimo would be more interesting than Mengoni too.

 

[mauve]

Hopin for a surprise shock with Ultimo, but everything indicates it will be Mengoni. Don't understand what is so special about the song.

i think this is an italianthing.

i've watched a lot of this reaction videos meanwhile - people going crazy in masses with blancas piece of art.

p.s. have joined some gamethreads here.
was too lazy before.

 

[mauve]

was too lazy before.

I would love to join, but am too busy with work (and to care for my mom). And when I have time, I am busy to read thru all the threads here. Or seeing NFs

i think this is an italianthing.

It has been always an Italian thing, not only this year.
The standing ovation for Marco Mengoni shows what The italian public likes most. A beautiful melody, a passionate interpretation and a powerful voice.
The term Bel Canto was coined in Italy and is part of our musical and cultural heritage. All the songs that have these ingredients are always welcomed by the wide public.
As I said before my top 3 is Mengoni-Lazza and Madame. A perfect mix of what the italian music market can offer.
Lazza has been the most selling artist last year, modern urban and reflexive. Marco is the most famous male singer and one of the most beautiful voices, he explores different styles of music , Madame is future and contemporary.
The italian public doesn't vote for what they think can be suitable for ESC. They vote for the song that touches their hearts or feelings.
It's a bit different for the italian public which loves ESC because we all make considerations what could do well in ESC, it's inevitable. But we are a minority. Personally I would send Lazza or Madame to ESC, I love Mengoni my nr 1, just to show to the European public that we can offer more than the classic Italian ballad. But guys this is what we can do in an excellent way The Classic Italian Ballad and what the public likes more. We don't have to invent the wheel every year.
Last year Brividi was something different, I know many of you don't agree, but if you ask the italian members of this thread they can conferm that Brividi isn't a classic ballad at all. It has a different structure it's urban and different influences and these are important details that maybe a non Italian listener can't capture.
Just to make a clear example.
ULTIMOs song is a classic old styled Italian ballad
Mengoni s song is a classic modern contaminated Italian ballad.
