Cara Lorella e Amadeus
Leonard Cohen e’ Canadese e non Americano come l’avete presentato nelle cover
Okay: Rettore is another crazy lady, idol from the Eighties. Lamette means blades/razors and the song says “Give me a blade ’cause I want to cut my vain”.
ahh everyone is entitled to their own opinion and visions but for me I want either Angelina or Annalisa for Italy and I dont see any trouble or problem with it.
Il volo with great song Capolavoro are simply the best . Professional music performance.
Apparently, according to one fanstie, “Annalisa broke the Italian Spotify record for the highest number of valid streams within the first 24 hours by a solo female artist”
Surely, this is enough for her to win? She’s the people’s winner I think.
But she is 3rd on Spotify behind Geolier and Mahmood so no, I wouldn’t say she is the people’s winner
Geolier and Angelina are, but most of their support comes from Southern Italy.
This will be a battle between the North and the South.
But televoting is only one third of the final result. I think the biggest advantage for Angelina will be the juries.
Eros Ramazzotti greatest of all
I am sad that the Diodato song is so boring….Oh well.
wait who technically winning now?
I’d say Angelina, since she was second on the first night, and first on the third. Loredana and Annalisa 2nd/3rd (dont) know the order, Mahmood in the top five.
oh ok thanks happy so my 3 fav are in the top 5
The superfinal will change everything.
Same as always, people gather here to cry cause the best entry is gonna win, cause they like some of the lesser potent entries. Its like when a smash hit reach radio, always some folks who cant enjoy it.
Too much Sanremo on Wiwibloggs :/
Wow too much toxic Italian fandom :/
Sanremo is once per year. And 5 evenings. If you consider 5 out of 365 days as too much, you have a problem.
Well it’s the San Remo week :p
Spotify charts:
1. Geolier (=)
2. Mahmood (+1)
3. Annalisa (-1)
4. Irama (+1)
5. Angelina (-1)
I don’t think a Angelina win is guaranteed.
It’s not garunteed IF the superfinal is a soft reset. However, I fear it won’t be!
Usually the superfinal is always a total reset isn’t it?
Yes it is. Only way Mahmood beat Ultimo in 2019 was the reset, as Ultimo and Il Volvo dominated the week leading up to the superfinal. Mahmood didn’t start climbing the scoreboard until midweek. The domination of the top two allowed Mahmood to make the superfinal as all of the other contestant scores were low.
Ultimo won the televote comfortably that year, Mahmood was way behind.
By which I mean that Annalisa can still win even if Geolier gets the most votes. I think the way they only show one category of votes per night is just a way to mislead us and build tension.
Yep. I think it’s still an open field between Angelina, Annalisa, Geolier, Irama, Mahmood (and maybe Loredana?).
Annalisa hasn’t won any of the votes so far though. You need to win at least one of the votes to win the whole thing. My gut says that it’s gonna be between Geolier and Angelina. Geolier is gaining momentum with the public so I think he will most likely win the televoting but that’s only one third of the final result and I don’t know if the margin will be sufficient enough to allow him overcome a low jury vote in the superfinal. Angelina on the other hand seems to have the advantage with the juries, especially the press… Read more »
Let’s not underestimate miss Loredana
Of course. If you ask me, I’d love to see Loredana instead of Mahmood in the superfinal tbh.
Ghali is growing on me. Well, if I had to choose a song to be in the top positions of Eurovision, I would choose Mahmood, Ghali, Irama.
Yeah Gali is mega underrated. I instantly connected with his energy on the first night! Some people want him cancelled because his song references some sort of bombing of a hospital…I wonder what THAT could be referring to?
Sanremo 2024 playlist on Spotify is the most streamed in the world.
Does it mean already that Angelina will win the festival? Please someone give me the hope that no. I completely dislike her song and don’t understand how it is doing so well (ok the whole south voting for her, but seems like even juries liked her too). In such a strong year with so much quality, her victory is even more confusing. Still rooting for mahmood, annalisa and irama. Hope Angelina or geolier won’t win, these are not the quality. My favorites but with zero chances to win are also Clara and Santifrancesi.
It depends how well she will do in the televote compared to fanfavourites Geolier and Irama and even Annalisa who were all in the other semi.
Angelina has a good chance of winning.
I think people like it cause she has an amazing voice, and can control it while dancing. That she has charm on the stage while singing a song with good rhytm that is hard to perform unless you are her. All those things make it a strong song, if you have any musical knowledge. If! you have
I have a musical knowledge and her voice if far from being amazing 🙂 and I didn’t know that ability to dance on the stage has a connection with a quality of song itself. Interesting correlation.
Happy for Mr. Rain.
nepotism winning ugh, i really dislike Angelina
Believe so, if it makes you feel better.
She was phenomenal on the stage and the audience gave her a standing ovation. Its not like her father is the most famous person on Italy or the fact that many other contestants (not their relatives) are equally famous. Analesa, Mahmood, Irama, Allesandra, Loredana, Ricchi e Poveri are super famous as her father.
Ricchi e Poveri are my faves this year, and i have a weak for Loredana (btw Angelina’s father wrote some songs for Loredana too btw, among various other big names like Andrea Bocelli)
her mom also took part in Sanremo, 1992 and 1993 with the group Matia Bazar
I don’t dislike her, I just don’t feel anything for the song, nor her performance.
Me too.
I’m sorry but I feel nothing for La Noia
I feel la Noia reading comment without arguments like this.
Well, every time I give my honest opinion it causes controversy. And to be honest, I literally feel nothing for the song, I don’t hate it, I don’t like it either. It’s meh!
Maybe your honest opinion is dedicated to opposing the popular voice, so basically if you dont like a song, its a good song.
Agreed
So I think the top5 on Saturday will be
Angelina
Geolier
Annalisa
Loredana
Irama or Mahmood
Do we know who’s voting tonight?
Also why did Italy get rid of the demoscopic vote and replaced it with a radio jury? 66% jury and 34% televote seem a bit strange to me
It was always like that. 66% for the juries and 34% for televoting. It was the reason we got Mahmood back in 2019. Juries loved him when the audience was voting for the very popular back then Ultimo.
It was 50/50 for the final three, it’s just that Mahmood overwhelmingly won the jury. Ultimo was NOT happy.
In truth, the demoscopic jury was made up of people who were musically experienced in a certain way, plus they represented the diversity of the Italian population. The great criticism that was always made was that the choice of this demoscopic jury was opaque, so it was decided to replace it with a radio jury that still is representing local diversity (in fact they are local radio stations) but in some ways gave more transparency in the decision of why they can vote
Thank you for that answer!
I liked the fact that a minority gets its say in a demoscopic jury. Like at ESC I don’t vote anymore because of how much money I spent on songs that end up getting zero points in our televote. So all that money I spent means nothing on the final scoreboard.
I think I’ll be downvoted to hell for this unpopular opinion: if Italy sends Annalisa, Angelina or Geolier to Eurovision, Italy’ll be very low in my ranking. Angelina is just another dance bop (and I don’t like that too much), with Annalisa I Just can’t connect and the chorus is getting on my nerves very fast, and with Geolier I can’t find the hook or melody for the life of me. Could be my fault, I’m not musically talented at all, pretty much tone deaf, so maybe these songs could be masterpieces (or might I say i capolavori?) and I… Read more »
I agree with you on this. Italy will not be in top 10 if they send any of them
Do you want to put your money where your mouth is. I have 10000 euro saying Angelina will finish top 10 total eurovision if she wins here, do you want to take my bet ?
Angelina has a well written, catchy, danceable song and owns the stage. Annalisa’s song is good (as you pointed out, if you don’t mind the repetitive quando) but her stage presence is kinda lacking in my opinion. The main appeal of Geolier for me is the wonderful Neapolitan language, but I agree the melody is kinda not there. They are all strong contenders… but I’m still hoping Irama wins.
I feel nothing for La Noia. “Quando Quando Quando” has been playing in my head for days and I like it.
I think the same. Angelina sounds like a top15-20 finish to me… Geolier is bottom5 material. Mahmood and Irama are Italy’s chances for a top10 or top5.
We will laugh in May.
You or me? We’ll see
Guys Irama can’t sing live without auto tune, come on! With him Italy will finish very low.
Angelina top 15-20 are you crazy, its such a strong song, everything is good in it. Why do you think Italy is currently number 3 to win eurovision in the odds
My guess is that Italy number 3 southwards if Angelina wins. They parked there while Annalisa was no 1 in the San Remo odds.
*leaves number 3
They haven’t changed though with Angelina being first and with increasing margins in Sanremo odds, suggesting that there’s a current trend that Angelina has better chances than Annalisa in maintaining Italy’s position in odds. Not that all this really matters though 🙂
Who cares about your ranking?
I agree with your comments about Angelina and I think Spain should have sent a song like that but I reckon their best result lies with Annalisa or Mahmood.
Italy is locked in third to win eurovision 2024 and when a country is that high its duo to the favourite of that country, which is Angelina. Everyone thinks she is top 3 contender for the eurovision total, i just think you kids need better ears, angelina could end up being favourite to win the euro
And you need a better reading comprehension, I said nothing about the overall chances of Italy in the contest, it’s just my personal taste. They won’t be high in *my* ranking, which has no meaning for Italy as a country, nor the representative, it’s just my two cents.
Locked in third!? It means litteraly nothing, it’s your fantasy that is talking, Can’t wait for San Remo to end now, so fed up to see all this exagerated self satisfaction, this too much confidence and all this cream applied to Italy, it’s so abused and too much. Yeah yeah of course Italy will win Eurovision or be top 3 again and again as every year, they are the center of this world it’s well known, the only one existing country apparently, the others have not this right.
Me: I don’t want the same countries to win again and again.
Also me (after seeing Angelina’s perfomance): So Napoli 2025 it is.
Naples is the most dangerous city in Europe. I certainly hope not.
Mango winning this night was SO predictable. I think Annalisa and Mahmood’s chances of winning this have plummeted significantly downwards! Because of how Sanremo works, correct me if I’m wrong but they add up or take the average of all the results and Mango got a higher result on night one because of those radios and other juries. Then she got lucky ending up in this MUCH weaker second half where there’s very little competitive songs so she easily won. Meanwhile, Annalisa and Mahmood struggled against the tougher batch! Mango will definitely be winning this now unless the super final… Read more »
She was second on Prima Serata and first today. It would not be just luck. And during the “superfinal” none of this result matter at all.
Will it not? Phew! Then Annalisa and Mahmood still have a chance! Even though La Noia has more views that Annalisa’s song, there’s more likes on the latter!
I totally see Angelina winning this. No matter how much I like Annalisa’s song I’m not connecting to the live performance. None of the other songs screams SanRemo winner for me so far, but it’s a strong year without many filler songs so anything can really happen I guess.
I feel nothing for La Noia but if it wins, it wins.
Angelina and Geolier winning their nights.
This Sanremo is for Southern Italy it seems
Is Angelina from there as well?
Yes. She is the daughter of the singer Pino Mango, who died. He was from Lagonegro in the Basilicata region. The region in the middle between Calabria and Puglia.
Do you think she’ll split televotes with Geolier?
Probable. But voters in Naples are a very strong armada. They can mobilize for Geolier. They are very proud of their dialect (or better, language, if I call it dialect they will be mad at me).
When I was in Naples I was told to tell everyone how nice Naples is; if I got nothing nice to say then I should keep my mouth shut.
Buena notte a tutti.
Buona notte Jonas
Buona notte.
Angelina Mango is so winning this
I hope not. I’ve got ‘Quando Quando Quando’ stuck in my head for days now.
I guess I missed a lot indeed. Was Il Tre so good? Better than Diodato? Ghani it’s for the torero-suit for sure))
Buuuuuut no Richi&Poveri? No Diodato? No Santi?
…. Not even Russel Crow? Lol
Only Angelina makes sense in that Top 5 lol
Also Ghali has a bop song. He deserves to be in second place.
My top :mr Rain, Santi, Diodato, Angelina, Richi & Poveri, Alessanda and more?Sangiovanni perhaps? Punks aswell?Both !!!
Richi & Poveri are about to smash televote?
I’m guessing it will be Angelina.
Cumbia Italiana?!
We will know soon.
After one more comersial break pfff
No, really not. I don’t think so.
After being introduced, the cohost Teresa Mannino said that Fausto Puglisi (fashion designer behind the brand Cavalli) after dressing stars such as Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Michelle Obama and Taylor Swift has ended his career. That’s because Puglisi accepted to dress Teresa herself.
So wonderful that Sanremo allows artists like Gianni to have late career triumphs like that.
Mugging an audience member, that’s new.
The yellow pencil is back. The sweeping brush is another in-joke for people playing that game?
Yes
I don’t get the pencils, pretty sure the broom is a reference to Morandi sweeping the floors after Blanco wrecked the stage last year.
An iconic moment!
There is a game launched by a group of people called Fantasanremo. It’s based on the fantacalcio. An alternative soccer championship played virtually where you earn points on italian Serie A soccer championship where you are associated to a soccer team. Each action is predetermined. Actions may be show nipple on the stage, give a pencil to Amadeus, or flowers to the director, or wear a particular dress. The singer collecting the more points wins the fantasanremo.
Thanks for the explanation! I’m used to Italian TV being kinda crazy naturally, so I haven’t figured out there was a higher motive for the stunts ?
Indeed. I heard on TV news that foreign embassies and consulates in Italy are playing Fantasanremo. At the moment the embassy of the States is leasing.
Yes, French, Canadian and US Embassies in Italy participate to the Fantasanremo. The French ambassador even participated to the first night in Sanremo on tuesday and he said he is a supporter of the Sanremo Festival. Us chose the team with Ricchi e Poveri. There are 2,6 millions people subacribed for this year, 1Mln more than last year.
Jonas, for 9 euros you can visit the Ariston Theatre. All year long except the week of Sanremo, and probably also during the construction of the stage, which starts around end of december.
You will also visit the rooms where the singers dress up. The backstage, etc. Check on the Ariston website.
Thank you! I will make it happen. I’ll happily pay the nine euros too, unlike Purple Mask, who tried to barge through and had to be removed by security.
Seriously though, I am going!
You can read the story of the Ariston theatre with Sanremo here:

For those who want to take a look on how is the Ariston Theatre during Sanremo, there is a RAI tecnician who is located on the right upper balcony (where the audio mix for the theatre is produced). You can find actually an IG Story he shoot during Eros Ramazzotti. His name on IG is giuseppe_scocuzza
Wow what a cool view!!
Fiorella Mannoia next, she always reminds me of the first violinist in the orchestra with the same hair.
Absolutely! ?
Question: did any of you marked false note in the whole Sanremo so far? (Talking about quality…)
I’m struggling to think of one. Which is not like me at all.
There is more star power and talent on the Ariston stage than there was at the Grammys last weekend. Global celebrity does not equal success.
san marino can go with russell crowe
Middle aged hetero man music, not that there’s anything wrong with that kind of thing.
Still will be better than some…
I like so much «torrero» suit of Ghali. Viva Italia for the Fashion!
Michael Jackson influence coming through with the clothing.
And dance moves. Not the music, though, strangely enough.
Mahmoud’s hair!!!!!
Not a fan of those corn roll
If either Angelina or Mahmood go to Eurovision i will be happy. Angelina is a great treasure and we need her in the stage. So much charisma, and the applause in the end, Omg she should win it.
How about Annalisa? Love her so much but don’t feel the song would get far in Malmo.
Angelina pleasantly surprised me. Not a bad entry.
It’s for me to be impartial about Diodato. Diodato is my favourite ever San Remo winner (2020). So obviously I get emotional when I hear him sing. He has competition this year though. There are more interesting songs.
It’s hard* for me to be impartial…
I feel the same for Irama. That song in 2022 still gives me chills. But this year I prefer the charismatic Angelina but I will be happy if either of the 2 wins.
Ovunque Sarai.. i don’t know how that one didn’t win
My winner in 2022 as well. Certainly way better than Brividi.
One question. How do you judge the quality of the overall musical proposal of Sanremo towards the selections of Sweden, Norway, Spain, etc.
Sanremo is on a completely different level. Even sounds I don’t care for, are on a much higher standard.
Every singers are pro.
che palle questa tua ossessione…
Ma che ossessione. Ma insomma. Sono solo interessato alle idee altrui. Per capire se c’è qualcosa che Sanremo non ha.
Sanremo is certainly better musically and in terms of the general level of songs.
If there is one point I can give to NFs like Melfest and MGP it’s that they are much more concise and slick.
And also they have more of a show factor in terms of stagings etc so they are more Eurovision-y but Sanremo has a completely different style so I count that out.
Agree with Boo. Tip top quality from the artists to the show production.
Sanremo has everything in it that I want to have musically: Good songwriting, good performers, a live orchestra and a receptive audience. It’s at the top of quality for what I personally look for in a music song contest. Sweden is a much larger production staged in a much bigger arena, so of course there are logistical challenges involved in that. Sweden has great songwriters too, but without the live orchestra it sometimes comes across a bit too well-prepared. Having said that, I love Sweden’s sense of humour and I think their hosts and interval acts are great. Norway I… Read more »
(dongs = songs*) LOL
Connecting with Norwegian dongs is fun.
Thank you for your long contribute.
I mean, for the long comment.
You mean the dong comment?
years ago they tried to organize the Sanremo festival in a large arena, but aesthetically it was a flop, too big and distracting, the magic vanished, which is why they returned to the Ariston theatre.
The magic of Sanremo is also that small cinema where few people can enter! As for the scenography, with all due respect, Swedish TV would not be capable of creating a complex scene like that of Sanremo, even the American guests are surprised and ask to meet the set designer in person.
Apples, oranges etc.
Unlike most people, I don’t like Angelina’s entry. This Latin style is not for me.
Diodato on the other hand was great. The best of the night for me!
But yes like most people, I agree that Angelina will most probably win this
Angelina herself is better than the song.
For sure. I don’t know what is her style outside Sanremo but she could surely do good with a song that’s well… not Latin
Diodato aaateee???
Omg Angelina and Diodato… how HOW it’s possible to choose one just ONE from Sanremo?what a level , what a class!!!!!!
Diodato. I wasn’t sure at first, but now I love it.
