That a capella part near the end will be magic on the Eurovision stage. I know that juries will eat this up as a whole, but that part will hook televoters.
💯
All Europe gonna dance and enjoy this masterpiece. Amazing choice Italy is the Winner for this Eurovision❤
Juries will eat this up as a whole. People will vote shitty Nordic songs ... Lol
Italy has the best song…..like always❤🇮🇹
Omg I was preparing myself for heartbreak the entire night only to be proven wrong (and in the best way!!!) 🤩 my current winner so far!!!
italy never disappoint
She really sells this song live with 100% commitment and skill. It’s a great song anyway but her live performance…wow.
If you haven’t seen it already you should watch or react to her cover of ‘La Rondine’, her deceased father’s song from the covers night at San Remo. It gives another side to what she’s capable of and it’s truly stunning.
Queen of charisma; Angelina Mango.
This is currently my number 1! Love it so much!
And the live version on the Sanremo stage is much much infinitely much better than the video version 😌🥭💃🏼🎉💅🏻
Concordo
I was so happy this morning when I woke up this morning to find out she won Sanremo. Honestly if a girl bop can win Eurovision again it’s definitely this.
this song IS the party we need this year - and she IS the moment! GO ITALY! AGAIN!
Did you really say peg me? 😂😂😂😂. Funniest line of the day 😊
yea, but at the time i forgot what it meant 😭, i meant "clothes peg my hair" 😭
😅😅😅😅
TOTAL! This is it! ITALY wins again this year! 🇮🇹👏👏
It weirdly reminds me a lot of Stromae? Which is an amazing thing!!! She could definitely win the whole thing, it feels very modern, it can cater to all generations with its reggaeton vibes and she has an amazing vocal. So far she is the first representative that has given me winner vibes, I got chills from the first 10 seconds
yep i got some of those chills too, it just shocks you in a way that a winner needs to
I am so confused about how Ukraine can be above this masterpiece. The structure of this song is so complex yet easy to listen to - truly genius. I wish Angelina a win because we rarely get something so unique, especially coming from South Europeans that rarely serve a modern folkish sound! And without any staging, she is like a magnet - you just look at her fully mesmerized! I actually think this is the least divisive entry yet, all the reactions are utterly positive and I can't see her being outside of the top 3. So far no one else is even close to me, second place being Norway💅🏻
ITALY HAS TO WIN 👑❤
Is it me or is Angelina Mango giving me the Italian Stromae? Very Tous les mêmes. Not that it is a bad thing, I love it! Come through!!!
I said the exact same thing to my husband today! lol
Maybe that's why I like it so much
I’m italian and thats the FIRST thing I thought when I heard this song. Its like a mix of stromae and shakira 😭
Oh gosh you are so right!
@@loujsff a bit of Mahmood's Soldi (Sanremo and Eurovision 2019) and "Calle de la Llorería" (Benidorm Fest 2022) also.
VERY interesting that 7 of the top 10 on the scoreboard app are in native languages (hoping Albania can move up more once that gets more of a revamp)
oh wow thats true. im expecting Albania to move up, theyve had a lot of time to work on this
"Peg me" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I LOST IT!!!!!
You are absolutely the best commenter!!!
❤️
I'm blessed to know Italian and enjoy this even more. Like at the beginning when she starts singing slowly shortly after she says: "vado di fretta" (I'm going fast/rushing now), the first beats are coming over...magic
Yeah I'm really happy that she won as well. Amazing entry! She kinda reminds me of Rosalía, and I've seen people comparing her to Stromae as well; making something completely fresh, current and authentic, with lots of different influences and yet very unique. I'm so rooting for Italy to do well this year!
I always have the same reaction to Italy, where nothing grabs me from listening to snippets and once the song is picked I really like it and wonder how I didn't notice it before 😅
TOM I SPIT OUT MY GODDAMN DRINK, SIR OMG 😂 (Youre fucking delightful, I jusy did NOT expect to hear those words in that order)
I dig this song too, its so different.
i forgot that word had another meaning 😭
@@ESCTom Honestly adorable xD I just now have to wipe down my desk and get off the coffee stain from the spit take. Intentional or not you have perfect comedic timing.
😅😅😅😅
I was on the fence as to whether I wanted her to be the representative or not, but I FELL IN LOVE with her live performance in the grand final. She's my 2nd place for now and I can't wait to see what she does in Malmö!
We are so proud of her. Great Angelina ❤. Italy in top 5 this year, same last years 😅
That put to shame every entry till now and probably by the end of the season.
It's ESC 2025 ITALY.
Well someone didn't listen to the Norway entry obviously :D
@ThaGamingMisfit was that a question, or do you have spies watching me 24/7?
Actually, I did listen to it, and it is beautiful indeed BUT
I stand behind what I said
Italy, lyrics, melody, beat, production... sorry , another level.
There is no need to get angry. Music is subjective. We can agree we disagree.
Winner vibes. 100%.
Questo testo è un capolavoro , come tutte le volte che un aitore si Rivolge a Madame scrittrice geniale per mettere in strofe i propri sentimenti
La noia va interpretata come momento negativo quando diventa depressione ma anche positivo quando diventa malinconia( cioè quando ricordi i momenti belli passati con una persona a te importante). Nella canzone lei dice che porterà la sua corona di spine ma che la vita è preziosa e bella e vuole viverla. La musica stessa è un contrasto di allegria e sofferenza.
Bisogna ricordare che la Mango è la figlia di un famoso cantante che è morto durante un concerto quando leo aveva 13 anni.
Credo che solo chi ha perso una persona cara troppo presto nella vita possa capire a fondo questa canzone.
actually, her mum (Laura Valente) is also a successful singer and Angelina's brother is a musician, too (that's some DNA she's got there). Valente was the second lead singer for Matia Bazar, who represented Italy at Eurovision in 1979, then still with their original lead singer Antonella Ruggiero, though. Both her mum and her dad took part in Sanremo .
My favourite song so far. I am winner potential with this entry.
Could be back in Italy 🇮🇹 for eurovision 2025.
YOU DID NOT JUST SAY "PEG ME" LMAOOOOO
this one is the best reaction i've seen about a song intended for the ESC, Really an excellent job! 👍
Thank you Danio 🙏🏻
Loved the analyses of the braids and al the possible metaphors you found for it. As a girl that has always had long hair I wanted to add that when I'm bored, or zoned out, I start braiding my hair, over and over again, lol. Anyway Angelina has often her hair braided, it's a bit of something iconic of her and them being kind of extra has also to do with her "gipsy" style, so I wouldn't be surprised if she showed up to Eurovision wearing something a bit crazy and over the top (colors, prints, ex..., but still with an elegant cut and fit), how she did all week in Sanremo wearing Etro.
oh yes, i love that other meaning you said for when youre zoned out and start playing with your hair. i think they are suggesting at that too when they are sitting around the empty pool
😮Her voice is such an extraordinary song and she enchants you like a song of serenity.😮🎉🎉
I ❤
Thanks from Italy ! All the country hopes she will win !
Loved the reaction Tom :D this is so good on so many levels, Italy rarely disappoints. I saw her sanremo performance and she was there completely alone and totally owned the stage. Can´t wait for the live show in May
I love your reactions. You’re one smart cookie!
I absolutely loved Pazza by Loredana Bertè because it perfectly aligns with my musical taste. However, I couldn’t help but cheer for Annalisa and Angelina due to their impeccable vocals and captivating stage presence.
even though Annalisa is my winner of Sanremo 2024, this is my second place and a worthy alternative; and I am glad that she wins Sanremo and takes the Eurovision privilege. I really love the ethnic instrumentation (which feels very Mediterranean) + her powerful voice.
To be fair, there were at least 10 songs that Italy could also have comfortably sent to Eurovision besides this one (one of which was Annalisa’s!).
It was hard to make a bad choice.
Angelina WAS my most favorite though (maybe partially because I only discovered her like half a year ago), so I’m happy… but Italy was spoilt for choice.
Let me know if Angelina mango wins the final preformance and I’m sending congrats to Angelina so I think she has won the final preformance and it’s got vocals and visuals and strong melodies and mediranian. Vocals and tempos and it might be a summer party and I really love her song and she has nailed it so I really like this one from Geoff
beautiful complete reaction is exhaustive in all components well done 👍👏👏👏
Check out her performance and outfit first evening of Sanremo which is the best one
Nice reaction. Really magic...ty
I think you've omitted the best part of the lyrics - when she sings without music. These words actually summarize what the song is about. It says that life is precious and when we suffer a lot, we appreciate more all the joy of life (which is better than being bored and always depressed, unwilling to move on)
You should watch the exhibitions on Sanremo: She owned the stage (and she's just 22), delivered *everything* and more. You should also watch her cover of her father's song LaRondine (keep Kleenex near): she said she wanted to paid homage to him but she poured her heart out and you could feel it even if you don't know the lyrics (but you could search them on the web just to cry more 😅).
(so you did see her Sanremo performances 👍🏻)
Very similar perspective as me - I LOVED both the women in this year’s Top 5, they felt like such fresh entries, totally different from “handsome classy emotional man” Sanremo. It could do really well, so catchy. Juries tend to have a lot of goodfaith towards Italy by default, so sending a catchy song that could do well with televote is such a no-brainer. The only thing I’m worried about is staging. I know Sanremo is very limited in what staging is possible, but Marco’s staging last year didn’t help him at all, the trampoline guys did nothing. This is the kind of song that NEEDS amazing staging.
Loved your reaction!
Fantastica Angelina Mango
This is a most excellent translation and analysis, really. I just love how, in the a capella bit at the end, the lyrics of the chorus are changed to essentially reverse their meaning. This has really touched me
Great analysis.This song has got great lyrics which you brilliantly explained. Winner alert.
Grazie mille!
Thank you for your analysis, Tom, which I find very detailed and accurate. Besides that, let me tell you how much I love your rugby t-shirt! 😍
Great entry. Great analysis. She’s a genuine talent. Second for me at the moment behind Norway but might take my top place shortly. She should storm up the left hand side of the scoreboard. Love it.
Siiii Amore mio❤❤❤ im abog fan of her!!! She's so unique ❤
I am sooooo happy she won but if we look at the Sanremo televote Geolier got 60% which is a record! Normally I am thinking the televote should be what counts the most (the reason I thought Kaariya should have won last year), but this time I don't agree with the televote at all. So today I have to say thank God for the jury vote. I guess there will always be a discussion about jury vs. televotes.......
yea, Geolier had support from all around the country, but there was no doubt that he was getting a disproportionate amount of support from Naples, and it felt partisan. It doesnt sound like much, but even a minority can influence a televote massively if they are laser focused and united.
this is why 50/50 is still the best system for Eurovision, and same for the national finals (or any other system with similar-portion ratio such as 33/33/34, even though Sanremo is not necessarily a national final show).
@@a.m.rifkia.3rd493that could be true, except that Eurovision nips partisan voting in the bud, so something like this, where the juries save the integrity of the competition, wouldn't happen in Eurovision! And since the televote is far more consistent with the audience's tastes than the jury, I still think ESC should limit the influence of the juries.
(I'm Italian, so I can tell you that Sanremo has almost always worked with the mixed juries system, but 90% of the time jury votes don't completely uphend the preferences you hear from the people... Except this year, which was more about *a* people than *the* people)
@@ESCTomyou have a good point, but it is not completely true in this case. Geolier is very famous among teenagers all over the Italy, not only Naples, he has made a lot of sold out concerts already, meanwhile Angelina Mango is a beginner who was voted by the part of jury mostly ('sala stampa' only, because 'sala radio' was more consistent. There's a lot of discussion why most of jury on the final night gave 1 point for Geolier and 10 points for Angelina Mango. There is a huge cultural gap regarding this votes, mostly because Italian dialects, especially napoletano (Geolier sang in napoletano) is snobed way too much among 'well educated' italians. Unfortunately the sabotage of sala stampa against Geolier influenced a lot the results not only for him but for Annalisa too, who became third in the final ranking.
@@eimante3000 It's NOT TRUE, both juries have always given low marks to Geolier even before there was the televoting scandal linked to him.
On the first night the press jury placed Geolier 23rd out of 30 singers.
On the second night half of the singers performed and Geolier was 8th out of 15 singers for the radio jury.
During the covers night Geolier was *26th out of 30* for the radio and *28th* for the press and won only thanks to the mass votes of his fans.
On the final night Geolier entered the top 5 finalists thanks to the scores accumulated the previous nights and was *4th for the press and even 5th for the radio* !
Even the "giuria demoscopica"(i.e. a representative sample of Italians of all ages, genders and regions of origin) placed Geolier in the last places, *20th* , even if this year their opinion was not used to decide the winners of the festival.
Angelina, on the other hand, was consistently in the top three positions every night for *all* the juries and received the most votes of all, only Geolier surpassed her in the televoting. And she was the singer *everyone talked about the most* , the one who had the greatest growth in social media, showing the public's enormous interest in her.
There has *never* been a time when the Sanremo juries considered Geolier's song and performance decent enough to win!
At first I didn't really care for this song but it's slowly growing on me!
Total👍🇮🇹
It's so interesting hearing you react to and analyze this song!
One thing I want to note, though, is that this lyrics wasn't written only by Angelina, but also by Madame. They cooperated to write it, basically. Madame is a young and peculiar artist in Italy. She took part in Sanreno twice, so maybe you've alredy heard of her. Her writing style is super recognizable, and from what I can tell knowing her style she put a lot of herself into this song too.
Madame's partecipations in Sanremo were in 2021 with "Voce" (it's a sort of... love song addressed to her own voice? The lyrics are quite unique) and last year with "Il bene bel male".
yea Madame absolutely 100% should have been in the top 5 last year
Hello from Helsinki, Finland. I would vote for this song, especially because it is made for dancing (although cumbia is not my favourite).
Great song! I’m so happy she won, the jury made the right decision. Geolier won over 60% of the votes, while Angelina and Annalisa won a combined total of 24% 💀 so we still haven’t really beaten the patriarchy at Sanremo lol.
Still, I’m a bit gutted for Annalisa. I really, really think Sinceramente would have been a contender for winning Eurovision. It was super catchy, slick, elegant and had an epic quality and I think it would have done really well with both the jury and the televote. So frustrating that we will never get Annalisa at Eurovision, she absolutely is a Eurovision winner level artist.
Angelina will do well regardless, but I don’t think it’s a contender.
i think itll take a while to turn things around, but this was a great start
@@ESCTom To be fair, gender issues had nothing to do with it in this case. The reason why Geolier received so many votes is that he brought to Sanremo a song in neapolelitan dialect and in Naples he's considered one of the new big representatives of their music. Now, Naples is the absolutely most patriotic city in Italy (if you ask them, they'd tell you they're neapolitans before being italians). So, neapolitans mass voted for him (apparently, even doing things like buying multiple SIMs to give him more votes or offering discounts in restaurants if you voted for him, which is kind of illegal). Still, Geolier's song was good enough that maybe, if he won Sanremo, people would have still believed that he was voted for his song... if it wasn't for the "night of covers and duets". The "night of duets", "night of covers" or whatever you wanna call it, is the Sanremo night before the finals. All the partecipant singers, instead of singing their own song, sing covers with other guests. Geolier's cover wasn't the best at all, I wouldn't even placed it in top 10, and yet he still won. People in the theatre got angry and booed at him (it was a bit too much, but they made clear that they didn't agree with the results). And the winner of that night wasn't decided only by the televote, televote had only 34% of value. It was supposed to be mostly decided by radios and journalists. So, that was a signal that Geolier had been unfairly mass voted. In the finals, journalists and juries decided to mass vote another singer to contrast that, and they chose Angelina. Angelina received a lot of votes from the televote too. That night so many votes were sent, whether they were for Geolier of for other singers to beat Geolier, that the the televoting literally crashed. It was a wild night. And this is why Geolier lost even with 60% from the public vote in the top 5, while Angelina had only 16% (more than the other singers in the top 5 though, which had around 8%). Juries mass voted for Angelina.
At least, that's what I know. If I was inaccurate, someome please correct me. This is quite a delicate topic.
About gender issues. Usually, female singers don't lose because they are female. I think it's partly because girls partecipate in televoting more than guys, and they usually vote for male singers.
@@roca7268 yeah, that's more or less what happened. Basically the vote would have been rigged regardless, cause the song didn't deserve to win but Neapolitans really don't give a fuck about that 😂
The best part is, if they hadn't pushed so hard on Cover Night, they wouldn't have given the game away and wouldn't have gotten the backlash that caused the jury to be *this* unfavorable to Geolier in the final... They might have even managed to get him 1st place.
The point is, every year Sanremo is a damn cultural civil war 🇮🇹
I kept trying to figure out what the song reminded me of. Finally came to me: Moldova 2018!
absolutely gutted that mahmood didn't win even tho i didn't expect him to, him not being in the top 5 is rude!! however i absolutely adore angelina as well she is stunning and talented, we will definitely get fashion and high quality staging from her, i for one am extremely excited for her!! so much potential for another fantastic italian result
Tom, great analysis as always. How do you see the competition with 18 other female singers, potentially bringing a similar musical genre and package? There will be so many bops! I feel like one of the reasons why Due Vite did so well last year is that there weren't many male driven ballads for a change and Marco Mengoni stood out in a good way.
I knew she was probably winning after Covers Night on Friday.
After THAT? With the string quartet? It's over
I mean, Televote almost killed it haha... Italy got saved by the Jurry this time ngl
❤
I just wanted to point out something: at 1:11 you say that Arisa refused to go to Eurovision, but that's not the case at all. The right of first refusal for the Sanremo winner was only introduced in 2015, back in 2014 the selection was completely internal and Sanremo had nothing to do with it and from 2011 to 2013 we had an internal jury pick a song from the Sanremo lineup, coincidentally Marco Mengoni won Sanremo in 2013 while also being picked for Eurovision, but the two things were not related. Arisa has actually stated multiple times that she really wants to go to Eurovision and it's one of the reasons why she keeps submitting songs to Sanremo every year.
ah thank you for that explanation 🙏🏻❤️
Tom♥
I love the song, I love Angelina Mango's performance, but I'm also really really happy for Madame that one of her songs is FINALLY making it to Eurovision.
A little bit OT, but watching Sanremo makes me very very jealous that there's no Dutch-language version of the festival. There's so much amazing Dutch-language music out there in pretty much every genre, and most artists never get the attention they deserve.
Be careful what you wish for, we are this close to sending something like Engelbewaarder or Rollercoaster through a Sanremo format and I am curious what Joost made that could convince the reasonably conservative Dutch jury.
Yea i forgot to mention about Madame and Dardust, great songwriters
No rules🕺🥳💪🥳
She's winning.
As Croatian, I am rooting for Baby but this song is so good! SO GOOD! My favourite this year. It's on replay over here. 12 points from Croatia.
I love Maneskin and I loved last years entry too, I still listen to both of them and not just their Eurovision songs.
Regarding the staging...she is the only one from all the entries that just absolutely comands the stage...without any coreo or backup dancers or elaborate sceen. Love it! Love her! Her confidence alone could win.
Thank you so much! I like baby lasagna too! I’ll be happy if you will win your first trophy! Good luck, ❤
Angelina mango total🇮🇹
I think that Angelina at Eurovision could be considered the "new Italian Shakira"...❤🧡💛💚💙💜💯💞💓💃💃💃💃💃
I take everything negative I’ve said about this year of esc.
We’re only 13 songs in and it’s already shaping up to be AMAZING! I already have 3 songs tied as my winners this year which often doesn’t happen this soon if ever.
I can’t wait to see all the songs of this year
Look for Pino Mango, his father, a great singer-songwriter, who died 10 years ago while giving a concert. His mother Laura Valente, singer of Matia Bazar in the 90s. She is predestined
**HER
highly recommend you react to the cover she did during cover night. she sang a song by his father as a tribute and if you look also at the lyrics the performance l is particularly touching
La rondine is the title
I can’t do a first reaction to it as I watched it live. It was wonderful
@@ESCTom ah ok I didn’t know it
Like with Soldi, Dardust is a co-writer.
What I'm about to ask you isn't for Eurovision but in my opinion it's worth it: can you react to the tribute song she made for her father during Sanremo?
It's too emotional😭
The song is called "la rondine"
Thank you so much🙏🙏
honestly, i cant do a 1st reaction to it, because i already watched it live, it was very beautiful 🥲
@@ESCTom Oh ok
PEG ME 💀
Tom did you see the sneak peak for the new united kingdom song? Its on the bbc youtube channel.
i dont check sneak peaks and leaks, cos they ruin my first reactions 😭
her father died of a fulminant heart attack when she was 13. For that reason she sings that she " wears a crown of thorns and goes to the party" 😢 some pains will remain 4ever
I really wanted Annalisa or Mahmood to win but honestly Angelina really deserves it, she's an amazing performer and the song is a real bop ❤
Please react to Angelina Mango sanremo 2024 la rondine
You said "Peg Me". 😆
Angelina wears ETRO, the same designer of Måneskin in Rotterdam. I think you may look good in ETRO
As an Italian, I was also disappointed with our representatives in the last few years, with the exception of Mahmood (2019) and Maneskin. But now I've got Italy third in my ranking! I'm still skeptical about the staging, usually our stagings are very straight foward with just the singers. Maneskin had obviously the whole band on stage, so there was a dynamic between them. But I'm still embarassed about last year's staging for Mengoni (what was the purpose of the two jumping dudes?!). I feel Angelina's song really needs some dancers, let's hope we don't mess this up.
I also wonder if the cumbia sound could attract some Latin America votes from the Rest of The World vote.
Regarding mediocre lyrics in Eurovision, Tattoo won the JURY vote by a landslide with shit tier lines such as "I don't care about the pain i'll walk through fire and through rain". Lyrics don't seem to matter as long as they sound nice unfortunately. The 'problem' with juries is that they are people too, just like you and me
yea but in fairness, her stageshow was absolutely incredible, and some of the lyrics were good, i liked the "stuck on me like a tattoo" metaphor. but yea Thomas G:son is definitely one of the lazier lyric writers
Okay mother mango
Like I said elsewhere, Annalisa was my favourite. She has a massive hit, she's got a great voice, she's hugely experienced, she's incredibly beautiful.
Angelina lacks that experience and her song is incredibly demanding, she will need to be on top of her game.
That said, call me biased, but it is the best among the songs presented up to this day. It is my current top one.
What does wannaga cinocapa mean? You keep saying it before you play a video?
"Wanna know my secret, bang". It's from "Siren Song",
from Ukraine
@@Hana9916 oh my god 😭 i couldnt understand shit he kept saying it so fast. I thought it was something in French 😭😭😭
this outside the top 5 would be a crime tbh
And the current leader for this year's "I don't get it" award is this song. Which, in all fairness, means it's probably going to win the whole thing, as usual...
i'm stoned out of my mind and this song is absolute heaven for the ears, it's even better than sex
😂
But Tom we have to be Luktelk stans together lollll
Annalisa!!!
My thought is that this will not work well in Eurvision. I am expecting it to lack the entertainement feel regarding staging. I think it will be in place 7-12. It feels like this is more judged as a song as a package and the package is what matters in a tv show.
You think this year is "super high quality"? Wow, I have the opposite perception. The only entries I like are Ukraine, Italy, Lithuania and Czechia.
La cumbia also means the cumulation
Hi Tom.
As an Italian who's been following the Sanremo festival since 1981, I'm a bit astonished by all this talk of "Oh, wow, a woman won Sanremo".
I realise that for you who follow it - for ESC reasons - only in the last decade you have seen almost only men win.
But this is certainly not out of sexism, it's completely ridiculous just to think that.
For example from 1997 to 2003 women had won 6 out of 7 times.
Sanremo has NEVER been against women.
Just look at the roll of honour.
In 74 editions there have been 43 victories of men (or groups with male vocalists), 12 victories of mixed male/female couples and 19 victories of women.
And the first 3 editions (1951, 1952 and 1953) were all won by women.
So if put into historical perspective the things changes. Thank you.
i was quite specific in talking about how i think it's due to the televote and these hardcore fans of male artists, and all the examples that you gave there are before the televote era?
As you said, we've had nine years in a row with a male winner, doesnt that coincide with the televote? and not a single woman in the top 5 last year? even marco mengoni said something about it on the stage
@@ESCTom There are also die-hard fans of female artists, why shouldn't there be my friend? it makes no sense to think that there are "hard-core" fans only of men. Take X-Factor Italy for example, where the televote has been there in the same period: many winners have been women.... Also, in Sanremo televoting has been around fo ages, if you want I'll try to find out exactly when, looking now on the fly - since at least 2005. But think that back in the 1980s we were already voting through the compilation of paper ballots initially designed for betting on horses that were collected by betting shops (present even in the smallest villages in Italy).
@@ESCTom btw, you can check the italian wikipedia page of Sanremo 2005 and see that the televote was already there ;)
Oh wow, those are interesting lyrics! I'm sorry I don't enjoy this song that much, mid table for now
Why not react to the live?
cos the views on my 2nd Sanremo video were low so most people hadnt seen it, plus also theres no idea of staging concept in the Sanremo staging
@@ESCTom true the music video has a lot more substance to talk about. I find her live vocals so impressive tho!
Well, at least it's not a ballad this year... 😅
I have a hard time seeing Italy winning this year. It rather reminds me of a less choreographed version of Cyprus 2018, which I think is how it will end up (top five, but can’t get quite enough jury points to win in the end). That’s not to say I don’t love this ( it’s my forth place after Ukraine, Slovenia and Norway) but I’m afraid it will struggle to get a strong enough coalition to carry out a win. Please don’t kill me!
