Italy ITALY 2025 - Lucio Corsi - Volevo essere un duro

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[Storm]

As I said, Sanremo doesn't have a problem with female singers. The problem is televote. 75% of the voters are women and the majority of them are very young women. They just love their idols. They are ready to give them even the last cent of their pocket to make them win. Last year Angelina won because her main rival was Geolier, mainly followed by male teens, and because cover nights counted for the real competition (this year Giorgia would have been a locked in top 5 finisher with last year's rules). And in the televote she lost by a landslide aswell. If she was against Olly, she would have lost 100%. That's the reality you don't seem to understand. But we live in Italy and know very well that reality.

I think most people understand this reality (when music (casting) shows were a big thing here in the 2000s, it was exactly the same: big female audience voting for men).
But that's precisely the problem people talk about in terms of female singers.
Doesn't mean we think they can fix it somehow, or that the organizers are at fault.
Just describing the disadvantage female acts face in this competition and I this is - as you say youself - the reality.

I guess why this community doest say anything about Spain choosing 4 women in a row and mostly women in the past 15 years.

I had a long sleep. Giorgia finishing 6th may be stupid, but Clara at 27th, Serena at 24th and Joan Thiele at 20th is a borderline war crime.

God bless Italy, it's a magnificent country. They go their own way and do things the way they want, and I respect that, but fuck, they are unable to vote properly for anything.

Olly will take a week to decide if going in ESC or not.

 

[sucof]

during the press conference olly said that simon le bon wanted to meet him and congratulate him because he had seen his performance in the theatre

 

[HanVic123]

So, is there any chance that he doesn't want to go?

I don't think this would be good for Italy if he refuses. Lucio Corsi and Brunori would get worse result than him at Eurovision, maybe their first bottom 5

 

[Paco Roca]

Maybe Donà wanted someone from her winning team regardless of the ESC. Rai instead wants to understand if it is better to send him or Giorgia. They will all talk together and try to understand the strategy. Then it will be another 2 months before the song falls within the 3 minutes of the ESC regulation

 

[HanVic123]

Lucio Corsi would be a guaranteed top 5 in my personal ranking

If Olly refuses to go RAI is forced to ask Corsi, then Brunori, then Fedez, then Cristicchi and then Giorgia.

I don't know the rules but are you sure that the choice falls in order of ranking?

 

[HanVic123]

Yes. They changed the rule this year

 

[Paco Roca]

Yes. They changed the rule this year

This complicates everything. Either Olly will be 100% or Rai has made an agreement with the other singers. I see the second hypothesis as unlikely only because of Fedez's presence. He could be the only one who doesn't accept because he has a strong ego. Only that... I don't know... that image with Carlo Conti and the Ariston telling Giorgia in tears that she won... I don't know... Let's see how things evolve. The emotions of the festival continue with intrigues like "Game of Thrones"

Brunori Sas just announced his intention of going to Eurovision. So, if Olly says no along Lucio, it is done...

 

[mercachita]

Please Olly, come to Eurovision. I need to keep having Italy on my top 10, and from the top 3 it's only possible with you.

 

[SAYAY]

Brunori Sas just announced his intention of going to Eurovision. So, if Olly says no along Lucio, it is done...

I mean, I appreciate his enthusiasm at least

 

[AliceEsc]

Olly will take a week to decide if going in ESC or not.

I thought they had to decide before the final and also sign a statement of accepting or not to go to Eurovision. They changed the rules again?

 

[EscGeek]

I hope he accepts although Lucio wouldn't make much difference in my rank list (up or down) so i'm content either way.

 

[nudiecrudi]

I thought they had to decide before the final and also sign a statement of accepting or not to go to Eurovision. They changed the rules again?

They can say Yes before Sanremo begins but they have to confirm that Yes.
Otherwise it would have been a No. Case closed as Stadio did.
His tour starts 13 - 14 of May from Rome. So his manager will make all the affords to postpone those two concerts.
