After taking a good sleep and listened again the songs I could personally confirm that this festival is one of the strongest ever, recent times obviously.
Last night was a long night but it was full of music, without stupid intervals or similar things. If you consider 30 song x 5 min each, means 2,5 h of good music + special guest medley by Marco Mengoni.
I really enjoyed it.
Top 5 by the press completely deserved.
My personal top 3 are Annalisa. Angelina and Mahmoud.
The rest I liked Clara, The Kolors, Dargen, Big Mama, Santi Francesi, Emma, Geolier, Ricchi e Poveri, Alessandra, La Sad, Negroamaro, Rose Villain, Bnkr.
Knowing how is the trend this year, I think the victory is going to be between Annalisa and Angelina, both praised by all the Juries, press+radio+televote. Both singers have chosen strong songs for the covers night.
The only risk for a non female win is Geolier because he has a strong fan base but he should enter top 5 and vocally isn't that strong to get points during the covers night.
I don't see, and don't want Mahmoud winning again, top 3 yes but not winning.
I also think that Loredana will fail the televote but can get a top 5 due to the press vote.
