The SANREMO CHAT LONGE FT. MONGE (Italy 2024)

[Penelope]

'Good' news ladies!

 

[Lucille]

What an incredible and not at all arbitrary change that is!

 

[Lucille]

The first three nights is such a BLUR I thought that was ALREADY the format tbh.

 

[win_the_game]

Replacing the GIURIA DEMOSCOPICA? Surely not.

 

[Hak]

So this year they ran over with a few hours each night.

while the other half that is not performing that night will be co-hosting with Amadeus.

HOW'S ADDING 14 HOSTS GONNA HELP??

 

[Hak]

Had to look up the 2023 schedule but have they just switched days 1 and 3?

 

[Tisch]

Love the idea of upping the number of presenters from one to 26, that's totally what SanRemo has always needed.

 

[Hak]

@Pingu to explain the changes, please.

@win_the_game to explain why this unstructure is better than Melodifestivalen.

 

[win_the_game]

Had to look up the 2023 schedule but have they just switched days 1 and 3?

Yes pretty much. They've reverted back to the format used in 2018/2019.

 

[Penelope]

I'm not sure I'd describe it as better or worse than Melodifestivalen as just the complete ideological opposite of it. It's like asking which is better out of apples and oranges, or Heaven and Hell - ultimately it comes down to a philosophical preference.

 

[Lucille]

Sanremo is great if you like to DISASSOCIATE from reality, by night 3 I tend to be in a complete fugue state and don’t recognise my life before it started.

 

[Kratz]

I have never watched but next year feels like a must.

Sanremo would totally be flushing MF’s head down the loo at school.

 

[Lucille]

There really is nothing QUITE LIKE IT!

 

[Hak]

I'd prefer Heaven any day.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I'm not sure I can bring myself to watch it next year, but if I do, I will need to start a drug habit just to make it through.

 

[Penelope]

Yes - I too see Sanremo as very downers in comparison to Melodifestivalen, which is very uppers

 

[ButterTart]

Can’t believe Italy are risking changes to their well oiled machine of a contest.

 

[Dark Carnival]

I have never watched but next year feels like a must.

It's pure MASOCHISM

 

[Penelope]

I will be watching and throwing scorn next year, to distract from my Stockholm Syndrome / being in the pay of BIG MONGE

 

[win_the_game]

It's pure MASOCHISM

Feed the MONGE into my veins.

 

[win_the_game]

First rumours for next year are starting to come out:

Diodato (His most recent album has underperformed so he's probably looking for a hit single)
Mahmood (I'd be amazed if he returned so soon. However he hasn't done anything since Brividi and probably has new material coming out late 2023/early 2024)
Annalisa
Emma
Mara Sattei
La Rappresentante di Lista
Arisa (She'll be looking to get her career back on track after the backlash earlier in the year where she outed herself as a Giorgia Meloni fan ).

 

[Kratz]

I feel like I already know what the winning song sounds like

(Excited about the gems in between)

 

[Dark Carnival]

La Rappresentante di Lista

 

[Finn]

Sorry but I really would just be happy with another sexually ambiguous (until you google) man singing another LOVELY BALLAD pls. I still love Due Vite AND Brividi

[lolly]

I love Due Vite unashamedly. But Brividi can fuck off.

 

[Finn]

I will not be silenced

 

[lolly]

If Annalisa turns up with something like Bellissima, I may just die.

 

[Kratz]

Ok, GEM

 

[Kratz]

If Annalisa turns up with something like Bellissima, I may just die.

Quite literally this...and then joy of watching it come in 7th whilst Mahmood or (shudder) Blanco honks some rubbish to first place.

 

[VoR]

Is Blanco likely to be allowed back anytime soon after FLOWERGATE?

 

[Lucille]

Personally hoping for two dozen sickly twinks and one woman in her late 70s with a drinking problem.

Beb I think that’s more than guaranteed!

 

[Apoca]

We need a female-front uptempo banger from Italy at some point (LRDL).

Feels unlikely with the voting patterns of juries and public though.

 

[Penelope]

Literally no woman has actually just straight up won Sanremo and been the entry since they've come back, have they?

 

[win_the_game]

No but Arisa did win in 2014 and would have gone to Eurovision had Rai not chosen Emma instead.

 

[jennywhite]

Marco Mangoni was just amazing. I had hope that he will win . Anyway, will be difficult to find someone better than this guy

He did very well!

Top 5 is no mean feat for a performance staged in such a straightforward way.

Yes exactly, just a normal straightforward trampoline.
