Italy ITALY 2024 - Angelina Mango - La noia

[ESC United Mod Team]

Another singer who is pretty sure to be in the contention for Sanremo 2024 is Alfa. Last year he submitted for Sanremo Giovani and he was the huge favourite to win the competiton and go to Sanremo, but unfortunately he had a fever on the day of live auditions and he couldn't show up because of COVID-19 rules, being disqualified later. His latest song "bellissimissima" has been a good success and it went gold... I bet Alfa will be in Sanremo 2024, it doesn't matter if he submits as a Big or in Sanremo Giovani

I've listened to some songs and watched some live performances by Annalisa and I don't like it. Her music doesn't tell me anything and vocally it's limited (you understand it by observing live). About her, the "best songs" are "Bellissima" (with a nod to the 80s) and "Disco Paradise" (with a nod to the 90s - the typical summer songs sung by TV valets). If Italy sends Annalisa she will come out of her usual Top 10.

I didn't know you predicted the future, without knowing the competing song. Live she is fantastic, she sings every musical genre and all of Italy has always agreed on this.

Annalisa: perché deve (ancora) convincere tutti di essere brava? | The Soundcheck

Annalisa è brava, ma perché il pubblico fatica a percepirla come una cantautrice? Ecco una riflessione sulla cantante, ripercorrendo tutta la sua carriera.

Probably the two of us are destined not to speak the same musical language, you are a supporter of Annalisa while for me she is an "anonymous singer", an "artist in progress" who has not yet found her identity. Browsing the internet I found this article quite enlightening. It is outspoken and brings data. In a certain sense, it explained a little the sense of incompleteness that Annalisa has always given me. Vocally Annalisa isn't bad but she isn't as good as she wants to pass off either. The technique can be surpassed if the singer's voice has a particular timbre or is able to convey emotions (for example, does Gabbani have a beautiful voice? No. But she has a way of singing and composition capable of arousing emotions in the listener). However, in both cases I see Annalisa's voice not memorable, "one among many" and I can't perceive the emotional side (she seems to me just a commercial Pop and nothing more). In Italy there are many female singers capable of being memorable: Arisa, Malika Ayane, Elisa, Giorgia (although she is no longer the same artist of the golden age) and ... for now I'll stop here so as not to go off topic. I want to add one thing, I consider Emma and Michielin superior to her, who are at least able to give more identity to their singing. I'm not saying that Annalisa isn't a successful singer but she is "a commercial singer for the young" in the same way as Achille Lauro, Fedez and all that series of new generation Trap singers. I'm sorry if I sounded harsh but that's just what I think.

The article you quoted is from 2 years ago. They are opinions, in the end it is the success of the song and of the artist that counts, not the opinion of a journalist which can vary from year to year based on the sympathy of a singer.

About the emotions I would say that these are subjective. A singer who excites me so much may not excite you and vice versa.

 

[Judas]

2024 could be her year... I still preferred some of her older stuff to her new songs to be honest, but still she is so talented and I will be really happy if she would finally win Sanremo.

I would be genuinely happy with Annalisa as long as she doesn't sing ballad. She has great songs that are not ballad and it reflects her talent as a singer better in my opinion.

Live she is fantastic, she sings every musical genre and all of Italy has always agreed on this.

This, definitely! Her live performances are great. She is an established artist which wouldn't have been the case if she didn't have what it takes to be a singer.

This is among my favorite performances by her. Her voice is just soo soothing and the substructure of this performance just hits differently.

It's an understandable point of view. In fact she came short of winning a Sanremo (precisely in 2018, when she won OGAE second chance btw) expecially because the press was extremely divided on her: some think she is a top tier singer, some think it's an average singer with average music, some others think she hasn't even displayed all her potential. I think the truth it's in between: she is not Mina or Mia Martini, by any means, but she is not average or mediocre either. Imo, it's true that she hasn't find her definitive route yet, but she is one of few Italian artists right now who can easily switch between ballads and bops, because her voice suits both, and still be successful.

 

[nudiecrudi]

She is almost 37 yo. And I think that her ultimate musical choices have shown to us that pop is the genre that mostly fits to her.
I don't think she will come back to Sanremo next year unless she has a bomb song in the pocket. We don't need another average song like Dieci.
Besides her I think next year will see Angelina, 100%, and maybe Gaia.
I don't have any idea who else we could see in Sanremo next year, talking about young female talents.

I've read on twitter someone said that ip volo is supporter of right wing prime minister Meloni. Is it true? Do we have any Italians here who can confirm or deny gossip? Because I have just followed all three band members and none of them liked or followed Meloni. They're rumored to take part at San remo 2024.

Never heard anything about this question. Just summer gossip me think.
About their returning? Who knows. There are so many names circulating around Sanremo partecipation.

My wildest Dream is to see Alexia back in Sanremo, because in 2024 she will celebrate the 30th year of her illustrious career: "Think about the way" came out in 1994 and she was kind of a Lucky charm for the successful Festivalbar editions hosted by Amadeus in the '90s. Plus, she still is one of the most powerful female vocalists in Italian music industry.

 

[Sammy]

We‘ve lost one of the biggest ones! RIP Toto! You‘ll be dearly missed!

 

[A-lister]

Annalisa if she has something modern and poppy!

 

[mup]

Requiesca en pace, Toto!

Massive loss for Eurovision family. My first winner and now I am almost his age when he won.

RIP indeed. Given his international notoriety and how many times he took part in Sanremo, they ought to pay him a tribute in the 2024 festival. Toto Cutugno is one of the 5 record-holders of participations (15 as competing artist and more as guest or songwriter) and unrivalled record-holder of 1st runner-up positions (6 times, 4 of which consecutively)!

1976 3rd place (as member of Albatros)
1977 Top12 finalist (as member of Albatros)
1980 Winner
1983 5th place (probably his biggest hit)
1984 2nd place
1986 4th place
1987, 1988, 1989, 1990 2nd place
1995, 1997 17th place
2005 4th place
2008 2nd place
2010 Non-finalist

2004, 2011, 2013: guest.

I'm in love with "Ragazza Sola", a fantastic blend between old style Annalisa and new style Annalisa. This is what I expect her to do now: raise the bar even higher. This song is really good.

The music is great, the lyrics are really good, her voice is, as always, fantastic. If she sends something like this to Sanremo someday, she'll win it easily.

Her songs now tend to be commercial rather than highbrow and she does a lot of songs with other artists.Obvious it is to keep her career and profile going.However some of her earlier work is stunning,and once she walks on the Ariston stage she always delivers.As for vocals she is an incredible singer.Italian music has endless world class female vocalists and Annalisa is one of them,she has a very strong range.She really comes into her own in a quality setting.I think she will struggle to win a Sanremo though now and i think the fact she made the podium once is fantastic.
Everything about her screams class,

Hunty, I was pleased to read your well-articulated comment and I don't disagree in finding Annalisa a technically capable singer. However, worse than not being able to sing for me is being anonymous. She has always been a "singer in progress" both on an image and musical level. She is an industrial product without any soul that makes Loreen and the Swedish music of recent years seem "caliente".

If we asked some Italian to sing one of Annalisa's songs, which song would she sing? The latest commercial songs and that's it. The deepest songs from Annalisa's past have failed to stick in anyone's mind. As much as she is considered good at Sanremo, she failed miserably. Annalisa at the Eurovision Song Contest would bring Italy a worse result than Emma's. Current Italian female songwriting is not at the level of the male one and this is why it fails. Arisa has a beautiful voice but mostly her music is heartbreaking (and in fact she is moving, driven by her personal insecurities, towards a more aggressive and irreverent look and sound). The best and those with the most possibilities in Italy among the singers are Amoruso, Baby K, perhaps Giusy Ferreri (in tandem with someone else because alone it is a "big no") and Elodie (who is ironically the best). Female artists now are not at the level of those of the past. Maybe, and just maybe, if Alexia is dusted off in Italy we will see a nice surprise.
