Sanremo 2021

[RJN]

Erm no

Sanremo predates Eurovision! The winners are just invited to go to Eurovision.

Interesting

Similarly, this is yet another thing I've now watched without having ever watched Eurovision

 

[Dark Carnival]

Well on balance, I'm not that mad at this being sent to Rotterdam.

 

[Tisch]

That lead singer is actuslly BEAUTIFUL and that skin suit is doing things to me.

But it's probably time I went to bed. It was LONG EVENING but I'm thrilled at the result actually.

 

[Alla]

How on Earth did this win the televote? I mean, don't they always go for the male/female soloist? It's the least likely San Remo winner.

 

[RJN]

This isn't exactly FOR ME, but it has some energy and isn't bad at all

 

[Soldi]

How on Earth did this win the televote? I mean, don't they always go for the male/female soloist? It's the least likely San Remo winner.

The televote only counted for a third of the final vote.

 

[Alla]

Not sure about the song, but I like the fact that won something different.

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

It's fun! It reminds me of when Turkey would enter a rock entry CORRECTLY

They've been one of the biggest acts in Italy for a few years now, after taking part in the X Factor.

 

[Dark Carnival]

omg it's OVER. My life feels so empty.

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

After Portugal's CHOICES tonight, thank Satan it wasn't Ermal

 

[Madíson]

Sadly James Newman was planning to wear the exact same skin suit, and he now has to change his plans.

 

[Soldi]

A decent winner, albeit in a strong year when the winning song wasn’t really a Casa de Soldi fave I can’t actually see Italy anywhere near my personal top ten once we’ve got everything in the mix (and providing they do go to Eurovision obviously)

WHO AM I?!

 

[win_the_game]

Well it's been lovely but I've had enough.

Let's do it again next year. GRAZIE

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Thanks to our hosts @win_the_game and @Soldi!! This has been exhausting but VERY FUN!

 

[ButterTart]

Oh shit, this is the one I really liked

Well done, Italy!

 

[Kevin]

Usually not really my thing but I LOVE this. I think this will do well again for Italy.

 

[ButterTart]

This AND Blind Channel in the final. After the festival di turgid that was Eurovision 2020, this year is shaping up to be an absolute powerhouse.

 

[Soldi]

They’re holding a press conference at 10:30am where it’s expected they’ll confirm that they’re taking part in Eurovision.

 

[Lucille]

10.30am! Poor things it only finished at 3!!

 

[Tisch]

What happens if they say no? Will it just go to second place? Omg is MADAME still in with a chance?

 

[Soldi]

They won’t not say no but if they did then RAI just pick whoever they want.

 

[Tisch]

They won’t not say no but if they did then RAI just pick whoever they want.

After five very long evenings, this is really quite hilarious

 

[win_the_game]

They’ve confirmed they’re going to Eurovision.

 

[Эулия]

They won’t not say no but if they did then RAI just pick whoever they want.

It’s not right, is it

BREAKING: RAI send Matia Bazar with ‘TI Sento’ ()

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I'm so happy this won now I've had time to digest it. I've read the the lyrics have a POLITICAL slant, is anybody able to CONFIRM?

Like MAD EMMA. I think it will be a performance to remember

 

[ButterTart]

Like MAD EMMA. I think it will be a performance to remember

But this time it'll be for the right reasons.

 

[win_the_game]

The voting split results have been released. Looks like the public actually decided the winner for a change.

Demoscopic Jury + Press jury + Televote (Total)

Maneskin - 32.9% + 35.1% + 53.5% (40.68%)

Francesca/Fedez - 33.1% + 30.1% + 28.3% (30.4%)

Ermal Meta - 33.8% + 35.2% + 18.2% (28.8%)

 

[GinAg (39)]

Can we get the title changed now?

 

[Soldi]

How on EARTH did Francesca & Fedez manage to claw their way into the top three?

 

[GinAg (39)]

Can't decide if I'd share an evening with the lead singer or not.

 

[win_the_game]

How on EARTH did Francesca & Fedez manage to claw their way into the top three?

The won the initial televote with an earth-shattering 16%

 

[Iguana]

I really like the song and the music video. WELL DONE Italian public

CHE SORPRESA, this turns out to be Herr Perversité’s Sanremo 2021 favourite



In fact I’m a bit sad that it’s all over

 

[win_the_game]

How on earth will we waste the hours away now?

 

[win_the_game]

I've been having a moment to the SCRUFFY QUEEN who staggered his way round the stage. Definitely one of the keepers at CASA WTG.

 

[Эулия]

Even though (or maybe BECAUSE) it goes on forever, it's a weirdly intense experience and it does delight me that none of the songs are in English

 

[Эулия]

Well it might be over but that won't stop me barking on about it

@win_the_game / @Soldi Do established Italian artists feel wounded when they take part and don't do very well or are they mainly grateful to be part of the Sanremo Esperienza and be given an opportunity to flog their latest album?
