Italy ITALY 2024 - Angelina Mango - La noia

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[Neely]

I like Angelina's song but now wowed by it although her performance makes up for it. I'd rather see Clara battling it out with Annalisa for the best female uptempo entry. Possibly BigMama too.

I'm hoping for an uptempo Italian Eurovision entry, too.

 

[goncalovieira]

Annalisa is still winning... Probably with 2nd and 3rd positions in each sections.

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

One thing Is for sure: if Geolier somehow wins, we deserve to be last in Eurovision. And I mean It! Backing someone only because of his origins and not because of the song in a Song Contest is something I can't stand and It goes against Eurovision principles too. The song is really awful, honestly.

Everything Blanka touches turns into gold Her randomly showing up in the music video was so unexpected but awesome in every possible way. This year The Kolors are my Sanremo winners! (btw, Italodisco is also playing in Slovenian radios and imagine my surprise when i shazamed it and saw a familiar name )

I'm surprised Annalisa didn't go for a ballad again. (I actually like some of them) But this is her best song yet imo.

This year seems quite open so we really have no idea who will win. I need to adjust my sleep schedule

My top faves:

The Kolors "Un ragazzo una ragazza"
Annalisa "Sinceramente"
Angelina Mango "La noia"
Clara "Diamanti grezzi"
Emma "Apnea"
Dargen D'Amico "Onda alta"
Rose Villain "Click Boom!"

Honorable mention to Mahmood. As a fan of Brividi and a non fan of Soldi, his this year's proposition is right in the middle for me. But he's a seasoned performer and i'm sure he can get me fully on his side.. but also, third time in six years would be a bit too much

A consideration about Annalisa. Gossip broke out that she is pregnant. She denies it at the moment. Surely it's just a noise but until scientific evidence to the contrary She might also believe can manage the situation or her desire to win Sanremo is too big. If she is indeed pregnant, anyone expecting wild dancing at ESC will be disappointed. This fake or real doubt is enough to understand that she will be hindered in some way (leaving until the very end that her most die-hard fan believes that she can win). The Top 5 will certainly be composed of Loredana Bertè (former artist with shock absorber function), Irama (with the most Sanremo song), Angelina Mango (with a fresh sound and no less a daughter of art), Annalisa (Pop artist currently famous) and Geolier/Mahmood (both ethnic, so to speak). Angelina and Annalisa will steal votes from each other (the former, however, must be considered that she does not have a large fandom at the moment), if Geolier advances to the superfinal, Irama's victory is clear. I don't think Geolier is interested in going to ESC, with a weak song, to end up like the Breton group (he wants to sell in the most profitable market for him: the Neapolitan one). If instead Mahmood arrived in the Top 5 there would be some more thrill and perhaps there could be a chance for Angelina (who would see her race with Annalisa canceled by the race between Irama and Mahmood). I repeat, Annalisa will not win. She showed up, gossip aside, with one of her weakest songs and it would be obscenity, a dream of her fans of her to see her triumph. Her song immediately gained a buzz thanks to her well-known name, screaming fandom and more immediate sound. We tend to forget that Sanremo is a marathon. You can be a horse like Marco Mengoni and kill the race right away or many sanremese songs are historically growers. Mark my words, I am ready to recognize my mistake if it happens, for me Irama or Mahmood or Angelina Mango will win. For others there is no chance.

Okay, I am going on board with team Irama now. I actually don't feel this song in the studio version, but live he is simply stunning. So Irama all the way! The only thing that would be pity is that it is neither an uptempo song nor a female like Analisa. But her song - yes, I like it, but not too much.

Welcome to the dark side of the Force

I searched for what the press votes were before Sanremo on average: Angelina had the 2nd best score, Geolier had the 7th best score, Annalisa the 8th (but was third on the first night, so she actually improved her position), Mahmood the 9th, Irama was back in 24th position.

So, I think Irama will be out of contention if he didn't have a huge leap on the first two evenings, Geolier Is awfully in, because I see someone above him that could have lost initial appeal (Negramaro in primis), Annalisa had great scores with all voters, she will definitely be a podium finishers. As for Angelina, she is the clear favourite atm, in my opinion: huge support by the press and she is very popular both with the radio stations and viewers.

Maybe I don't know the rules of Sanremo but we're talking too much about jury, radio and public votes that must lead to the final victory. It's right in the middle. The points accumulated up to the fifth evening are used to access the Final 5. From there everything is reset. Therefore, an Irama who passes to the final as the best fifth at 0.001% better than the sixth placed can play for victory from 0. The public and the juries will take note, without other distractions, only of the five artists. If you pit the inexperienced Angelina, Annalisa's aged bop and Geolier's ethnic song against vote-getters like Mahmood and Irama, it's clear that one of the two will win. Sanremo will also evaluate the ESC potential and I believe that only Mahmood and Irama have the songs, experience and charisma to do well. Ultimately, the most "Eurovisual" is Il Volo. Think about it, Ajeje, the public chooses as the winner but it's only 34%. 66% of the juries in the Final 5 will already have their minds oriented towards Malmö and the most competitive choice. The juries could change their minds and come together towards a new choice.

It's beyond me why Emma's song isn't getting any love. It's amazing and for me it's up there with Annalisa, Angelina and Mahmood.

 

[Jupiter]

So I didn't listen to All the Songs (and not sure if I'll get the time to do it), but the frontrunners and those that stuck out in the recap.

Mahmood never did anything for me. Negative levels of charisma, vocals aren't all that great, and this song is so boring. I had to focus to manage to listen to the whole Song.
Geolier just has a weak song. Nothing else to say.
Loredana seems like a force of nature, but 'Pazza' does nothing for me. I like her tho.
The Kolors are fun. Not my faves, but it's easy to listen too.
Irama is a good performer, but something about his voice sounds so strained in a bad way to me. And the song is just typical average stuff.
Clara is lovely, I like the way she performed, and the song is cool.
My two faves are Annalisa and Angelina Mango. Both have bops that I just like listening too. 'La noia' is a little more special and unique. I don't like the Studio track as much but the way she performs it live is Gold. Annalisa just has an incredible voice. Her tone makes me happy, and she has such an easy security on stage. I can't sit still to either song and would be super happy if Italy chose either. Knowing Italy tho, that won't happen xD but my playlist is happy about the new additions

Infact it's the final 5 that scares me the most. You don't even know what Neapolitans are capable of when they want... They will support Geolier 'til the end, not for the song but for his background... I hope anybody can dethrone him on cover nights on Friday, because Angelina, Annalisa, Loredana and Mahmood are almost already sure to be in the top 5 because they Will be in everybody's top 5. So, go Irama! If the press lowered Geolier, you may have a chance.

PS: yes, this year I'm not rooting for a song, because I have more than one favourite, but I'm rooting strongly against one: "I p'me, tu p'te" is 28th out of 30 in my Sanremo preferences, I will hate to be represented by it in Eurovision and I will surely not support my country this time if it happens. Sorry. Geolier seems to be a nice guy, but the song is a big no imo. We had lots of better Neapolitan songs in Sanremo which deserved maybe more, but this doesn't do it for me.

As I've written before the supertop5 is a risk for everyone. The lines will be opened at 2 o'clock in the morning, not that much people will vote at that hour after have spent votes during the final, which I remember is only televote.
If the jury votes, radio and press, will be concentrated mostly towards one song there isn't any chance for the others, because televote counts only 34%.
Being first with televote ( Geolier) could not be enough if you got 5th with the juries. Being first with the juries and 2nd or 3rd with the televote could be enough to win

I could put it in a few words. Emma with "Apnea" is a tiger who is meowing.

Agreed. It's not bad, it's just there. I think Emma herself knows her golden years (2011-2015) are over, so she is not focusing on winning Sanremo anymore, but she is Just focusing on promoting her new songs for her diehard fans. Imo, a respectable choice, expecially after her illness.

And i love that she's still showing up. I like every sanremo entry of hers, her eurovision song of course and many of her other songs

I told you. Geolier will win Sanremo, his public is way too high.
Do you think his song has any chance to finish in the top 10 at ESC 2024? I mean, the production is cool, but I think he's not that good as a singer?

Oh, I forgot: I think he will not be toppled by juries. Angelina/Annalisa/Bertè or whoever will win them, but Geolier will get enough votes to win.

Geolier Is up to 18% winning Sanremo in the odds...
Meanwhile, Italy is down to 6% winning Eurovision.

If he wins, that percentage will plummet to San Marino levels.

This is my answer.

Nobody in the whole Europe and almost nobody in Italy, except in Naples and Campania, wants to hear that song in Eurovision. Harsh? Maybe. But true. I listened to some radio stations this morning while I was working: there was a lot of people complaining about this being the best song, by a vast number of listeners. Because in Sanremo you should judge the song and nothing else. And this one is absolutely and objectively not the best one. When we get two big fat 0's in the Grand Finale of Eurovision, than we will have all the pieces to solve this jigsaw, don't we?
