Italy in Junior Eurovision 2022: Chanel Dilecta with “BLA BLA BLA”
Chanel Dilecta is Italy’s eighth representative at Junior Eurovision. She was internally selected by Italian broadcaster RAI.
Hailing from Thiene in northern Italy, she has studied singing and ballet since the age of four. The young performer also plays the piano and has trained in modern dance.
Junior Eurovision won’t be Chanel’s first experience of international competitions. She’s previously participated in TMF 2021 (Tour Music Fest), the 2021 Italian Performer Cup and The Coach Contest.
Chanel has been a fan of Junior Eurovision for a number of years. As part of the duo Le Dogi of Voice, alongside her friend Arianna Bertoldo, Chanel has recorded covers of Viki Gabor’s 2019 winning song “Superhero” and Marta Viola’s 2019 entry for Italy “La Voce Della Terra”.
What do the “BLA BLA BLA” lyrics mean?
“BLA BLA BLA” is a bilingual tune in Italian and English.
The song is all about those times when people speak a lot but do not act on what they say: “Half-said sentences do not make sense, I think and think about it again”.
Chanel says she’s tired of nice words that mean nothing. Instead, she keeps on trying to find the truth: “Tell me where the truth is hidden”.

Italian lyricsBla bla bla… Bla bla bla… Tu dimmi dove sarà nascosta la verità Chi non si arrende lo sa Ferma la corsa scendo qui Bla bla bla parole parole Ma cosa c’entra l’età le frasi dette a metà Never give up and feel the beat Bla bla bla parole parole È già primavera Bla bla bla parole parole Non ci sto…Bla bla bla bla bla… |

Aside from most of this song being sung in Italian, Bla Bla Bla does feel very Italian to me
Was she chosen because of his first name? 😉
*her
I like the song but it’s not my favorite
We are awaiting comment from Jonas.
How kind of you, I must be very important. I like it, it’s fine. Nice production, talented performer. Lyrics somewhat lacking, but maybe this one was actually written by children.
No problem!
hahahaha, our famous critique
I feel like this song is quite overlooked. I like the funky verses, but the chorus coming out is a very weird 180 in comparison. Still, this is very kid-like and JESC friendly. After last year’s more Maneskin-like entry, I think it’s nice to see Italy try something different again, especially having sent mostly innocent ballads in their years prior with the exception of 2015.
as a native italian speaker, our bilingual jesc songs will never not sound weird. there hasn’t been one single case where they managed to successfully fuse the two languages making it seem effortless.
Yeah, I really like the Italian entries of JESC, but is really unnecessary to put English lyrics into their songs…
Chanel looks a little bit like Carla (JESC France 2019) and Isabella Clarke (JESC Australia 2017). The lyrics are a little bit strange but the song is damn catchy. Italy could finish inside Top 8-11 this year.
hopefully even higher! it’s bop
