These rhetorical phrases about women in Sanremo remind me of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau when he made a terrible impression on President Meloni at the G7. Someone from his staff had told Trudeau that gays in Italy were interned in concentration camps and he believed it!It has become a bit annoying this story.
Everyone pointing out this esc mantra "A woman won Sanremo"
You wrote 5 lines about the song but you dedicated two of these precious lines to the fact that a woman won Sanremo.
Since you're waiting years and years try a bit harder, no?
74 editions
29 Female winners
35 male winners
10 groups, couples
These are facts
Real facts are also the excellent results of the ESC italian male representatives, all top 7.
we vote for the best song, not the sex!Forgive my reply, but you must admit that it's quite a feature not having a woman winning for 9 consecutive years. ESC fans from Europe who have been getting to know Sanremo during these years, once Italy rejoined Eurovision, can only remember (and therefore know) what they've seen so far, they won't know, let's say, the 1970s/80s winners.The memory of an all-male winners streak will last long in the fandom, so I think Iker was just referring to this "shock".
It's true that one must vote for the best song and in the past few years female singers happened to have weaker songs, but, as we said before, with a televote coming from a large female majority one can possibly detect a bias towards male singers that played a part (not counting the rigged televote of 2024). As for the juries, perhaps they preferred more elaborate lyrics, which led them to downvote conventional love songs that female singers are more accustomed to bringing in Sanremo.we vote for the best song, not the sex!
It's just a coincidence.
Yes it was a long time. You're right. But did we had shitty male winners to complain so maybe women would have done better? No I don't think so.Forgive my reply, but you must admit that it's quite a feature not having a woman winning for 9 consecutive years.

I remember this phrase repeated so many times when Zitti e Buoni won Sanremo.There is basically no melody in it.
The song simply doesn't stick. There is basically no melody in it. It was the same with SloMo, but at least the Spaniard was an excellent dancer.
I completely acknowledge that there is a successful Eurovision genre where the beat is more important than the melody. It's just not what I'm looking for. I tend to forget those songs. I did have Angelina in my Sanremo top 3 though. Behind two other songs that I found slightly more melodic.
I don't think jatojo's comment meant to dismiss La Noia entirely, it just pointed out a feature that makes him/her like a song. After all, we are here to share our opinions and songs generate different perceptions in each one of us. In this sense I find his/her opinion helpful because, despite liking Angelina's song, I myself had been thinking about that something I couldn't quite put my finger on about La Noia. Perhaps these type of songs (like our 2021 entry) rely on their singers' charisma to come alive on stage (and to get votes in the competition).I remember this phrase repeated so many times when Zitti e Buoni won Sanremo.
Please repeat it again. Being italian I'm highly superstition and maybe it will end as 2021......who knows
I do hope so. At least the audience that is against our participation in ESC will not bring up the economical burden as an argument.Another important thing: Eurovision costs for the entrant and for the TV production is fully paid by advertisements and nothing is paid with the Italian television tax.

Indeed, Clara was unfairly underrated. I would have placed her in top 10. I expected a low televote given the fact that she's a newcomer, but it was surprising to see the juries ranking her so low with that good performance.I just love Clara's song more:
Clara - Diamanti Grezzi (Troby Extended Mix) [Dj Friendly]
Clara - Diamanti Grezzi (Troby Extended Mix)from Sanremo 2024youtu.be
Best Eurovision/NF song so far this year. Very good live performance. Badly treated by juries and televoters.
It feels like Blanco just passed by...
