So that screenshot above is for the final night? Giorgia won both the jury votes, 6th with the public.. and those scores are combined with the other nights as well... which she either won or was just below winning in one case. I simply do not understand the numbers I'm looking at. How does 1st + 1st + 6th lose to 6th + 6th + 7th? You're going to have to help me out here as it just looks like a highway robbery.
You can't see anything.I can see why this hasn't officially been made the entry yet, it really is one of Italy's weakest choices, and i'm far from a fan of most of the previous ones. In my opinion, they would probably do better with something else.
The song really does nothing at all except tick certain jury points. It just made me wonder by the way, do the Italian jury have some special criteria for quality of lyrics, aside from songwriting and performance? That would explain why there is always so much text in Italy's entries, even in genres where you wouldn't expect it. This is one of the worst yet, it's just completely unmusical and disjointed babbling at times.
There is nothing to remember about the song otherwise. Also, he looks very similar to Oscar Zia...
Isn't Brunori said he would go?Well, that was an intense week of music, as always. Now, let's see what It brings to Eurovision: Olly will definitely go to Eurovision, no doubt. As I said a 23 year old newcomer will never refuse the opportunity, never. Giorgia could have declined, Cristicchi and Brunori would have declined, maybe even Corsi could have declined, cause Eurovision seems too distant from his music. So It was Olly or Fedez for me, from the beginning... One of them would have represented us, Olly won and so he will represent us. And I'm happy, tbh. The song Is good, this guy sings it well and delivers the message well. So, yeah. It isn't the best song ever from Italy in Eurovision, but it's far from being the worst song Italy brought to Eurovision. Will not win, can do good things in the jury vote, don't know about the televoters though, even if they usually seems to love Italian ballads. Can be a top 10 finisher? Yes, definitely. This year's lineup is not so great in Eurovision, tbh, at least atm. So It can reach top 10. And I'm good with it. Can It flop? Yes, It can obviously. But I see the first option as the more realistic. Where did this end in Eurovision? 7th to 12th imo. That is the most realistic outcome.
With Amadeus' voting system, Lucio will win instead of OllyIt was more ore less the same.
He has 8 concerts from May 5-17I 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?
Well, I would say that is only partially true, at best. There are more viewers of the Grand Final in Italy than there are in France even though France is a bigger country.People still don't understand that Italy does not really care about Eurovision.
People on reddit didn't really think so even though all female singers together only got 16% of night 5 televote.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.
We don't have to focus only to what happened in Sanremo. This question reflects the entire italian music reality where male singers have most streamings and occupy continuosly the top 10 rankings.People on reddit didn't really think so even though all female singers together only got 16% of night 5 televote.
Only 10 women make it to top 5 (24%) or 16% if counting solo women singers in the last 10 years. Acts with women range from 20% to 42%, this year is 41%, 2024 is 27%, 2023 is 36%, 2022 is 32%
I kinda get it now after reading on reddit saying about old people songs (slow ballad) are well received in Italy, which are dominated by male singers, that's probably why all the songs I consider dated and tacky doing so well in this edition.We don't have to focus only to what happened in Sanremo. This question reflects the entire italian music reality where male singers have most streamings and occupy continuosly the top 10 rankings.
This is part of the reason why San Remo is a very bad selection method for Eurovision though. Not everyone speaks Italian, but the language of music itself (instrumentation) is universal. A ballad with minimal instrumentation that is basically a barrage of emotional punches lyrically, like Simone's, is not suitable to go to Eurovision, but would be a viable winner in a festival that celebrates the art of music.You know @Fluke all the lyrics of this festival have been analyzed by the Academy of the Italian Language. Just to say to you how important are the lyrics.
