Loreen wins #ESC250 again | Here are the detailed results of #ESC250 of 2024 by Songfestival.be!

Happy New Year everyone! The first article for 2025 could be no other but the results of the #ESC250 voting by Songfestival.be in collaboration and as presented via EFR12 Radio.

For the seventeenth year in a row, Songfestival.be conducted during November a poll, asking Eurofans to vote for their ten favourite Eurovision entries of all time. 2023, also, marks the first year that the results are announced via EFR12 Radio. Starting at 11:30 CET and for twelve hours straight, we had the chance to listen to what the Eurovision community considers as the all-time classics of the contest.

Hence, Loreen is the big winner of this year’s #ESC250 with her song “Euphoria“. Loreen represented Sweden in Eurovision 2012 with Euphoria and in 2023 with Tattoo which ended up in 2nd place.

Angelina Mango among the world’s most searched artists on Google in 2024!

The 68th Eurovision Song Contest captivated around 163 million viewers in May 2024, ensuring its status as a global cultural phenomenon. Among the notable success stories from this year’s contest is Angelina Mango, Italy’s representative. Despite finishing in seventh place, the 22-year-old singer achieved a remarkable accomplishment that stands out even by Eurovision standards.

Angelina Mango among the world’s most searched artists

Angelina Mango broke through in 2023 through her participation in the Italian talent show Amici. Her journey continued with a triumphant performance at the Sanremo Festival, where she competed among many established Italian artists, managing to win and securing her place as Italy’s representative for Eurovision 2024 with the hit song “La Noia.”

This success transcended national borders, as Google’s recently published data revealed that Angelina Mango was the tenth most searched artist globally in 2024.

This achievement is significant, considering the list predominantly features artists with many years of experience, while Angelina, who mainly sings in Italian, is a relative newcomer to the international music scene.

Cosa significa…”Cumbia”?

Within Italy, Angelina Mango topped the Google charts as the most searched person and artist of the year. Her song, “La Noia,” also piqued curiosity among Italian audiences, leading to one of the most popular search queries: “What is Cumbia?”

This question references the song’s lyric “È la cumbia de la noia”, highlighting how the track inspired listeners to explore the Latin dance genre, Cumbia.

 

Through her exploration of Gen Z themes and introspective lyrics, Angelina Mango resonated deeply with audiences. Her success exemplifies Eurovision’s unique ability to promote new talented artists to global recognition. As her journey continues, Angelina’s rise underscores the competition’s influence and international reach.

Sanremo 2025 promises to be an unforgettable celebration of Italian music, filled with unique moments, heartfelt emotions, and, of course, outstanding performances from artists competing for the top spot. Stay tuned for more updates and watch all the reaction videos here!

Italy: Which artists were “cut” from the Sanremo 2025 lineup

Following the announcement of the Sanremo 2025 Festival participants by Carlo Conti during Tg1, another list emerged: that of artists who submitted songs but failed to make the final selection. Among them are past festival winners, legendary names, and rising stars.

More Participants but Also Many Exclusions

The number of contestants in the main lineup increased from 24 to 30, with the artistic director noting that at least ten more artists deserved a spot on the Festival’s stage. Despite this expansion, the exclusions remain numerous and significant.

The Major Absentees

Topping the list are Jalisse, the duo who won the festival in 1997 with the song Fiume di parole. Since then, they’ve submitted songs every year without ever being selected again. The duo has embraced their predicament with humor, sharing a satirical video where they “celebrate” their 28th rejection.

Other notable absentees include major names like Al Bano, who had high hopes this year, Patty Pravo, the Nomadi, and well-known artists such as Enrico Nigiotti, Ermal Meta, and Virginio.

Representing the New Generation

In the rap scene, artists like Dani Faiv, Luchè, and Shade did not make the list. Additionally, several performers from music reality shows, such as Aka 7even and Alberto Urso, were excluded, unlike other former contestants like Elodie and Irama, who secured spots.

Female Artists Left Out

Among the women who didn’t make it, notable names include Anna Tatangelo, Arisa, Alexia, and Elettra Lamborghini. Irene Grandi’s exclusion caused a stir, especially as she presented a song written by Gianna Nannini.

Alternative and Dance Scenes

Disappointment also struck the dance and pop categories, with names like Gabry Ponte, Eiffel 65, Gigi D’Agostino, Benji & Fede, and Boomdabash left out.

Despite the many disappointments, Sanremo 2025 promises a highly diverse lineup, although for some, the dream will have to wait at least another year.

Italy: There will be no songs about immigration and war at the Sanremo 2025!

The Sanremo Festival is just around the corner, and the countdown has begun for the announcement of the names of the artists who will participate. These will be revealed by Carlo Conti during the 1:30 PM TG1 broadcast on Sunday, December 1st.

In the meantime, the artistic director of the event was a guest on the Pezzi podcast, where he revealed that at least 20 artists have already been chosen, and that the song lyrics will not cover topics such as immigration and war.

Carlo Conti on the Lyrics of Sanremo Songs

The artists performing at SanremoGiovani 2025 will exceed twenty, a number Carlo Conti had set before hearing the songs proposed to him. He confirmed this during his appearance on the Pezzi podcast, stating that even the lyrics of the songs have undergone changes in terms of the topics they address:

There will definitely be more than 24 artists. How many am I sure of? I have 20 in mind, for sure. With names and songs, first and foremost, but also with the content. I see Sanremo as a big mosaic or a bouquet of flowers. But there is one innovation: what I like, and what has come through the songs, is no longer a ‘macro world’—they don’t talk about immigration or war—but we’re returning to speak about the ‘micro world,’ about family and personal relationships. I’m talking about the lyrics of this year’s songs. More human things from the micro world around us, family relationships. Everything is very personal, rather than looking outward.

Additionally, Conti mentioned several more names of well-known artists in the Italian music scene who are expected to take part in the festival, such as Al Bano Carrisi and younger singers like Fedez and Tony Effe, who have been considered for a potential duet with Emis Killa. Conti also stated that the number of female singers participating this year will be higher compared to previous years. One of the names that came up as a participant was the Italian rapper Anna.

Finally, Conti addressed the possible controversies that often surround the Festival, especially concerning the potential lyrics of the songs in competition:

I’m not afraid of controversy. But I can say that even the rappers have brought songs that are more oriented toward pop. They are evolving; they haven’t brought aggressive content, and I’ve heard songs that are anything but banal. Among the big artists, you may see someone who hasn’t come through a talent show and is less well-known than a young person from the giovani category who’s come from a talent show.

Although the official list of participants in the Sanremo Festival will be announced tomorrow during the TG1 broadcast at 1:30 PM Italian time, recent leaks suggest that many of Italy’s past Eurovision representatives are expected to return to the festival, including Francesco Gabbani (Italy’s representative at Eurovision 2017), Achille Lauro (San Marino’s representative at Eurovision 2022), Blanco (who represented Italy with Alessandro Mahmood as hosts at Eurovision 2022), Emma Marrone (Italy’s representative at Eurovision 2014), Al Bano Carrisi and Romina Power (Italy’s representatives at Eurovision 1976 and 1985), and the duo Jalisse (Italy’s representatives at Eurovision 1997). Now, Nina Zilli, who represented Italy at Eurovision 2012, has also been added to the list. Furthermore, a list of artists expected to participate in the festival has leaked:

• Elodie
• Alex Britti
• Anna
• Bresh
• Alban
• Caparezza
• Olly
• Arisa
• Nina Zilli
• Rocco Hunt
• Thomas Paradise
• Tropic
• Brunori Sas
