Results
Last night’s grand final took place over two rounds. During the final reprise of all 30 acts, the public had the chance to vote once again for their favorites. This set of public votes was then merged with the accumulated scores from the entire week, giving birth to a fresh ranking that unveiled the top five songs of the year, moving onto the super-final.
The voting counter was then reset to zero, ushering in a renewed opportunity for the audience to cast their votes. In the super-final, the winner was determined through a dynamic triad of decision-making. A public vote held a sway of 34%, complemented by the discerning judgment of a jury comprising radio broadcasters (33%) and another jury consisting of members of the press (33%). It was a thrilling blend of public opinion and expert evaluation that culminated in the crowning of the Festival’s triumphant artist.

The cumulative televoting results shaped the top thirty general rankings, as follows:
- Irama – “Tu no”

Results of the Super Final (Second Round) and Festival Winner:
Only the top five performances proceeded to the Super Final. During this round, the public had another opportunity to vote while the artists presented their songs. The final result and the Festival winner were determined through a split voting system, with the public contributing 34%, the press TV and web jury holding 33%, and the radio jury holding the remaining 33%. The Festival’s top five were:
- Angelina Mango – “La noia”
- Geolier – “I p’me, tu p’te”
- Annalisa – “Sinceramente”
- Ghali – “Casa mia”
- Irama – “Tu no”
Angelina Mango emerged as the official winner of the Festival di Sanremo 2024, succeeding Marco Mengoni with her song “La noia.”
Sanremo 2024 – Angelina Mango canta “La noia”
Eurovision 2024
But the excitement doesn’t end there! The winner of Sanremo 2024 earns the honour of representing Italy in Eurovision 2024. Should the winner choose not to participate, the Sanremo organisational committee will carefully select an artist from those who have expressed interest in Eurovision, ensuring Italy sends an exceptional representative to Malmö.
Therefore, the next anticipation lies in whether Angelina Mango will accept the opportunity to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö and, if so, which of her songs she will choose for the competition.
What do you make of the final night? Has Italy made a good choice for Eurovision? Let us know in the comments below.
🇮🇹 Angelina Mango – “La noia” REACTION | Eurovision Italy 2024
Yeah, me too, when I give a blow to someone and I vomit, I say: “totaL”… Like that.
Grande Italia! 12 puntos desde España. Esta cumbia la bailaremos juntos!!!
ROMÂNIA IS NOT ATAKINg SWEDEN TO HAVE MORE GAY RIGHTS!
Hmm, there’s something “aggressive” about this song and I don’t like it, it’s as if I were not invited by the singer to enjoy it. It’s not bad but kind of indifferent. I’m afraid it’s bottom 5 this year for Italy.
Usually I like italian songs but this one is really tacky.
I dont like It.Top 15.
So the detailed rankings (not the full percentages of the juries) are out and the differences in Televoting between Geolier and the rest are rudicously huge. The juries were consistently putting him low in their rankings but he got over 40% during all 3 nights with televoting. His fans were voting for him and nothing seemed to stop them.
Angelina, Annalisa and Mahmood were my top 3 so I’m glad she won. It was about time a woman represented Italy again and she’s the perfect choice, though I really loved Sinceramente and Tuta Gold too
I can’t believe that Angelina Mango won Sanremo 2024 with the song “La Noia”.
I just don’t hear it. It’s not even in the same league as maneskin was. For me it’s a song and she doesn’t have stage presence. The video is good but the live version average and basic. Sorry
My Sanremo withdrawal symptoms have lead me to when Irama became the fourth member of Il Volo, and they performed Ovunque Sarai together. It works!
https://youtu.be/niuRA85GPBo?si=NfqexzqeUSJ1C7Be
Thanks!
Oh that’s really really beautiful!
I dont often like Italy’s entries, but I really like this one!
So I guess that means Italy won’t do well at Eurovision lmao.
Very good performance of Maymood. He is such a professional artist in a good way.
He takes me on his journey. Those these 3 mins flew by.
And on repeat. Well Done.
He doesnt need ESC anymore.
But the crown would suit him tho.
Probably it was too much for Mahmood to win a third time, even though he deserved it, on my opinion. Additionally, everybody was asking Italy to give the chance to a lady. It was time. Mahmood deserved a better place in Turin 2022. The song was good. Unfortunately they paid the bad performance of the final.

Here she sowcases all she has and I felt that.
Very impressive.
With La noia I dont have that unfortunately.
Why is the Italian fandom so toxic? They flood negative votes to anyone who expresses that this doesn’t seem like the best song.
lol you’ve posted negative comments under every single article about sanremo. listen, if you wanna go on full toxic mode, you gotta do better than this…
Writing that -there is too much news about Sanremo on Wiwibloggs -does that not happen with other festivals like Melodifestivalen which also has many days of development, does it mean negative comments?? In my country it is expressing one’s own opinion and there is nothing negative in that. I am referring to this type of comments when someone does not think the same as an Italian :/
Sun, no me digas que eres español? Ya sería la repera! Lo eres?
Italian fandom is toxic, omg you don’t know what to say anymore? If I’m not mistaken, in 2022 Spain was the first nation in the entire history of Eurovision to be called out for toxic fandom. Do you no longer remember the official press release?
I am talking about the Italian fandom, I am not talking here about the Spanish fandom, that would be in another post
This was what i meant. When someone disagrees with the thinking of the Italian fandom, they fill the comment with negative points. Thanks for giving me reason
Personally, I cannot connect with the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. Most entries that were selected and released to this day are either prank entries or mythical, next to hysterical. I’m sensing the 2000-2010 era all over again, and I’m not waiting for it at all. I hope this edition will shift to be at least tolerable with more countries releasing their entries in the coming weeks. So far, here’s my list of the top: TOP-10 NORWAY (Ulveham) LATVIA (Hollow) FRANCE (Mon amour) TOP-26 SLOVENIA (Veronika) MALTA (Loop) ITALY (La noia) UKRAINE (Teresa & Maria) TOP-37 LUXEMBOURG (Fighter) FINLAND (No Rules)… Read more »
Mythical? LOL
Children shall not use the Internet for stuff they have no clue about. Oxford Languages defines “mythical” as either occurring in or characteristic of myths or folk tales, or fictitious. Witches and other myth-inspired songs this season bombed with the amount of cringe, sorrry, “alternative” approach that you would usually need to see in 20 years on a normal basis for the ESC.
It is the result of the good result if the Finnish entry last year. I hope that it won’t become a prank festival where more and more weird and extreme entries are competing against each other with “daring” dance breaks.
Oh, the dance breaks! Correct, more cringiness to the show. Myths, grotesque, dance breaks, screaming “SLAY”, “QUEEN”, and “YAS”, prank entries, explicit nudity regarding men (hypothetically, to attract gaymen), still censoring female tits, voting neighbors and voting blocks, the same song structure with the same rhyme, a 4-hour-long show, politically opinionated victories and entries… To think, Eurovision is becoming a legend of its own. Just not the good one for the past 10 years.
Sinceramente was better.
It’s going to be hard for all the female singers to distinguish themselves this year there are already about 18 female participants confirmed…
But Angelina will still stand out.
Good luck from israel??
You didn’t write correctly results of the first round. Irama wasn’t first. Your top five was actually running order for the superfinal.
La Noia wasn’t my favourite and I could name at least 10 other acts that I’d prefer to win Sanremo but! I’d always choose La Noia ahead of Annalisa and ofc ahead of Geolier so here I’m happy.
La Noia is modern catchy and sticks to your head regardless of whether you speak Italian or not. Angelina is adorable and charismatic. I hope they build a strong staging for her with some dancers. This can be a radio hit. I don’t know if juries will support it as much as they did previous Italian entries but it can’t be outside the Top 10 based on the quality of entries we have heard so far. To me Annalisa and Angelina were the best choices for Eurovision so i am glad the right one goes to Malmo. I only hope… Read more »
This could be an esc winner for sure. Excellent
My god all the comments here. You were commenting for weeks that you want Angelina or Annalisa to win. For the past days you were crying that literally anyone but Geolier should win. Now Angelina won and you immediately turn the tables and moan that you´d rather have Annalisa. My personal favorite was BigMama, followed by Mahmood and Angelina, so I´m happy she won. Annalisa was amazing as weel, but let´s be honest, it wouldn´t work at all in ESC.
I LOVED Annalisa, but La Noia has grown on me so much, alongside Angelina’s personality, sass on stage, energy and personal story with her dad that I want to see her at Eurovision and do well.
now we’re talking !
Annalisa should have been sent…
Congratulations to Angelina! This was so well deserved and I think she will do very well in Malmö. She has the charisma and the song is really infectious. I wouldn’t mind another Italian victory in May. In bocca al lupo!
My current No 1. Congrats, U deserved it. Hope, Ryk from Germany also will do it. Might become a strong year.
Out of 13: 1) Italy
2) Ireland
3) Ukraine
Not the kind of song I’d listen to daily but that’s quality and I can’t say that for a lot of the first 13 known songs. So yeah, it’s my 2nd place for the moment.
Of course…
I’m really happy for Angelina, but even more for Madame. Her talent as a songwriter is out of this world
Agree! I’m so happy also for Dardust
1000% agree!
IT’S CONFIRMED!!! ANGELINA GOES TO MALMÖ!!!!
Obviously the song will need a revamp since it’s quite long and there are parts that are too repetitive and don’t make sense like the bit where she repeats one phrase and the music is completely removed and it will need backing dancers, but these are things that can be worked upon! I’m so happy for her!
No revamp needed. Only 17 seconds beyond The 3 mnts cut, a very easy job Dont worry
I wouldn’t say it’s an easy job. Lots of Sanremo winners don’t work as well once they’ve been cut for Eurovision.
Due Vite was improved
Yeah, almost all Sanremo winners change the song slightly, so i’m expecting the song to be pretty much be flawless at Eurovision
Not sure about the bit when she doesnt have any backing and it would be nice to get some more diversity into the song but apart from that, i’m happy!
I fear this will continue’s Italy’s fate when sending women (I see the song ending around 15th, like Francesca Michielin last time in Sweden).
Francesca’s song was very mid and forgettable, staging did not help either.
It wasn’t a bad song honestly but it was 2nd placer because the winner was amazing but for some reason didnt rate Eurovision?
Francesca ‘s song is much better than this actually. This song is a definition of mid.
Francesca got cold during that week so her singing was negatively affected.
Monotonous and boring song but it is Italy so probably will end up in the Top 5. One day we will open the debate as to why is Italy the most overrated country in esc, but I guess today is not that day.
my goodness Loreen always sings the same songs with the usual demonic dance and you complain about Angelina?
NO, she dont always have the same song
But the vocal performance of Loreen on Tattoo, was far from perfect.
Of course she does
She has nice voice. But song is monotonous, nothing memorable. While watching, after 1st minute I started skipping ahead, waiting for something… but nothing happened.
how many accounts will you create to say it is monotonous? LOL. It is very memorable actually.
I have just this account. But I do stand corrected…. I was listening to a wrong song….. apologies…. I actually do like the correct song
I can’t believe there were no better songs at Sanremo. This one is such a generic song, you listen to it once and forget.
There were about 10 better songs in my opinion. But this year a woman had to win to reduce the public outcry (most notably after Marco complained last year in the Superfinale), so there it is. Sanremo was so good this year, but the winner doesn’t reflect that for me.
My top 5 (as an italian) was
There were a lot of good songs this year, but I’m so proud of Angelina, she’s young but so ready
It’s a fun, energetic song and at least it’s not another male ballad. Should do well in Eurovision if she goes as Italy have done well with worst songs.
Unpopular opinion here but I find Italy to be the most overrated country in the contest. And so is this entry that will most likely end up top 10 without being anything special.
Do you also think the same about Sweden? Because actually Sweden’s almost all entries are generic
Sweden too yes but this is an article about Italy.
Have you heard the other songs? at the moment there are some nice songs, but I do not think that this is any less.
stop insulting Italy just because it is not in your taste! Every year Italian artists gather many acclaim around the world so to say they are overrated seems naive to me… you may not like them, but you also have to be objective sometimes
Since when expressing an opinion an insult? Music is subjective some people like it some people don’t. And also world acclaim doesn’t always mean that something is good.
I agree with the last part of your comment. I don’t consider your first comment as an insult, but I think that it’s basically a little bit annoying because every year we complain about Italy in a special way as if it was just sending crap when there are other countries that get the same consent with even less interesting songs imo
how many accounts will you create to say the song is not special and Italy is overrated? Keep hating, it means Italian entries are strong.
Sanremo was excellent this year with so many exceptionally high quality songs. Usually i struggle with the selection and get bored but this year i enjoyed quite a lot of the songs.
This song was #17th in my list of all the competing songs, but I still really liked it.
Also happy that (finally!) a female has won Sanremo and gets to represent Italy at the contest.
My favourite overall was Emma.
Emma was really good.
I hope this song would receive high jury points because some countries like Denmark never give points to Italy; while Denmark almost always sending generic songs to eurovision.
it’s not easy to get points from nordic juries, since they need to give each other points first
agree.
It’s funny bc it’s true. I recall that Finnish jury gave Loreen 12 points while Finnish televote gave her 0 points lol
Nordic countries don\t vote much for Italy, even with Maneskin they didn’t give them many points and Maneskin are selling out arenas there and having hits.
Nordic juries are under the spell of their nordic power. They continue to have friendly Executive Supervisor and are able to have their votes exchanged without the executive supervisor detects any anomaly, like for other countries. And they are able to win in correspondence to any important anniversary of Abba’s victory.
Coincidentally, I noticed the combined 2023 voting results from Denmark the other day: 20 points for Finland, 20 points for Sweden, 20 points for Norway.
To be fair, those countries received great scores from all over Europe. But still …
Thr crazy thing is both danish televote and juries not giving even one vote to a band with a name in danish and with an half danish member.
The Nordic juries don’t give each other points like that. Look at the statistics and you will see. It is the public that does it. The year Måneskin won Italy got ten points from the Swedish jury while the Swedish public gave 3. The danish jury gave Sweden two points where the public televote gave Sweden 10 in Denmark the same year. This is one of the reasons the juries are needed. The most biased is the public.
There were much better songs at San Remo, this is a bit of a car crash. She’s way too shouty for my liking.
Having a song and performance isn’t enough to do well at Sanremo, she won primarily cause her father was renowned musician, so the bar was really low for her to come with an ok song at least.
You must be kidding, i mean i just cant grasp, how you missed her charm, her ways of moving on the stage, the dance and still vokal of gold. She kinda has a bit of all the good things.
Probably because I’m not feeling the song.
Then don’t talk about her father, talk about the song.
Why talking about something which obviously isn’t most relevant merit at Sanremo lol
Congratulations to Angelina. Well deserved winner. I hope that Angelina and the broadcaster can agree to take the song to Eurovision. My advice on that to any of the artists would be as follows: Eurovision is a massive platform and opportunity for you of course, but it is also an event that is bigger than just budgets and opportunities. It is watched by millions of people all over the world, and those people have opinions, agendas and statements that they’ll all want to make about the world at this event. If you accept that first, and then focus creatively on… Read more »
Well I like it ??????
If she was the Spanish entry, everybody would be saying that the song lacks a break dance or, at least, that she doesn’t dance enough.
Singers at Sanremo rarely dance. They don’t perform having the Eurovision in mind. Maybe the staging for ESC will involve more dancing, maybe not. She also has to cut 10 seconds off the song to allow it remain within the 3 minutes rule.
if this was the spanish entry then spain would be top 5 lol
Or maybe we just overrate Italy because it’s Italy
Or maybe the quality of both the song AND the live performance is so high that any discussion about dance breaks seems irrelevant at this point.
Plus we haven’t seen the choreography for the Eurovision stage yet.
If this was the spanish entry there would be a unanimous agreement that it is crap and will end up 20th in esc final.
The problem with Spain is that it always has that aura of trash in every performance it offers, perhaps it’s inherent in the Spanish soul, I don’t know. Which fortunately Italy doesn’t have
Congratulations! You just won the prize to the most racist comment today.
Do we have to remind the number of Spanish who, complaining Italians didn’t vote for Chanel Terrero in 2022, reported the video of Mahmood in 2023 and it was taken down by youtube?
no one says it but it’s the pure truth, and the political correctness added lately accentuates the trash, you want to be transgressive but you all seem to have come out of a Pedro Almodovar film, with all due respect to the director
You need,urgently,visit your psicoanalista….to reset your mind and your dirty soul.
I remind you that Spain was recalled by the EBU during 2022 for too much toxicity and wickedness, especially aimed at Italy.
Alcohol can damage your health.
And since then, resentment and anger won’t let you be happy. What a shame! Need help.
It sound like something rejected from Benidorm.
if she was the Spanish entry, everyone would be shaking and calling her a winner. We know how Spanish fans are overdramatic.
Do you mean what is actually happening?
It’s ok and Angelina is a good preforme but I’m afraid it won’t stand out enough to be in the battle of the victory. But good luck!
as if there are stronger songs so far LOL
IT’S HISTORY! The final of the Sanremo Festival achieved a 74.1% share and 14,301,000 viewers.
First part at 71% and 17,200,000
Second part at 78.8% and 11,700,000
OMG record-breaking numbers. You won’t see these numbers in any other country (Germany, France, UK, Spain) and their local TV shows.
I dont like this song. They always have to many words in the lyrics, so i been so stressad when they singin
I think that’s the first time I’ve ever heard someone say there’s too many words…
why do i force myself to read these type of comments…i mean, REALLY…
it is basically 1-2 people commenting under different names… they more or less use the same arguments.
So what. Axl from Guns ‘N’ Roses used to put an awful lot of words in his lyrics. See Paradise City and many more. Yet they made history as one of the best rock bands that’s ever existed.
I think it is great! She has charisma, the song is interesting and it feels genuine and authentic. I Will certainly listen to it. I think it is my winner so far, the second best is Norway. Why are many of you so negative? I think it is the best Italian entry since Måneskin.
we already knew this, nepobaby influencer Angelina
sorry no points from me, Ricchi e Poveri were robbed badly
The favorite word of pathetic eurovision fans: Robbed!!!! lol
