Italy: Sanremo will be held live but with no audience and with many protection measures from the Teatro Ariston!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The RAI security protocol, based on which Sanremo 2021 will be held from March 2 to 6 at the Teatro Ariston, in the small town of Liguria, was recently announced.

As the domestic media reported in the last few days, there will be no audience in the stands of Ariston. Each artist will come to the Festival alone, accompanied only by a sound engineer and an accompanist from his record company. The spaces will be redesigned and separate dressing rooms will be created for everyone.

There will be use of FFP2 mask, antiseptic gels, continuous rapid-coron detection test, thermometers, etc. There will be no hugs, kisses and everyone will be constantly at a distance of 1.5 meters, especially those who will not wear a mask.

The smallest possible number will be used in the live orchestra (approximately 60 people), while the bouquets and the prize will be transported in a cart!

The artists are invited to come to the Festival dressed in the clothes of their show, while as soon as they finish their show they will go to a specially designed space of about 150 square meters, below the stage, where they will wear their mask again.

The protocol presented today by RAI is 75 pages long, but according to Mazzini who designed it, it guarantees the safest possible holding of the 71st Sanremo Festival.

We remind you the 26 artists that compete in the upcoming Sanremo music festival:

  • Francesco Renga – Quando trovo te
  • Coma_Cose – Fiamme negli occhi
  • Gaia Gozzi – Cuore amaro
  • Irama – La genesi del tuo colore

Italy: No audience in Sanremo 2021 or transfer for later!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The future of Sanremo 2021 remains uncertain, as the current Italian press reports that RAI has rejected plans to hold the festival on the dates already announced, with an audience on the stands of the Teatro Ariston. The two options that Amadeus now has are the Sanremo on March 2 to 6 but without an audience or its postponement for April at least.

The plans to create a protective shield around the people involved in Sanremo and to stay on a cruise ship throughout the festival so that they have no other contact with the rest of the world seem to be permanently rejected by the RAI.

According to the trustworthy Il Messaggero, the two scenarios that are now being considered are the following:

  • The Sanremo 2021 will take place on the announced dates (March 2 to 6), but without the presence of the audience.
  • The postponement of the festival for April onwards, where they hope that the presence of the audience will be possible, since there will be more time for the vaccination.

In the event of course that the second scenario prevails, then Italy will have to choose its representative in the Eurovision Song Contest in a different way, since the meeting of the Heads of Delegations will take place on March 15 and until then the 41 countries participating in this year’s contest should have completed the procedures for the song selections.

Italy: Amadeus wants ABBA in Sanremo 2021!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

This is a bomb really. Amadeus in a radio interview on Saturday on Radio 2 revealed that he wants ABBA as guests in Sanremo 2021!

Following the reunion at last year’s Sanremo festival of the legendary Italian band Ricchi e Poveri, Amadeus sets the bar even higher for this year’s edition of Sanremo. According to what he revealed on Radio 2, the artistic director and presenter of the festival, Amadeus, revealed that he eagerly wants to bring ABBA to Teatro Ariston in March!

ABBA has sold millions of records worldwide, and in 1974 they were the winners of the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Waterloo.

We remind you that Sanremo 2021 is going to take place from the 2nd to the 6th of March.

See below the appearance of Ricchi e Poveri at Sanremo 2020:

Italy: Only 400 spectators at San Remo 2021?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

According to the Italian press of today, RAI is considering to allow only 400 spectators to be present at Teatro Ariston, under of course strict measures.

The plan under consideration, envisages the presence of 400 spectators, who, after they go through COVID-19 tests, will be transferred to a cruise ship at the city harbour. They will be on board under strict quarantine from the 2nd to the 6th of March 2021. Every evening special buses will drive those 400 spectators to Teatron Ariston for the festival. During the Festival rapid tests will be carried out, so that the organisers make sure that everyone is safe.

There are similar plans for the accredited journalists, while it is examined that they will stay at the casino of San Remo where the press centre might possibly be. RAI’s plan is to protect everyone involved at the organising of San Remo, so that the Festival can be televised as close as possible to normal conditions.

Italy: The first odds for the winner of Sanremo 2021!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The 71st Sanremo Song Festival may be a long way off, as it will be held in March, but that does not stop betting companies from giving the first odds to the winner, who will most likely be Italy’s representative at Eurovision 2021.

According to Superscommesse, the first favorite to win is the duet of Fedez & Francesca Michielin. If Francesca Michielin manages to win at Sanremo 2021, she will represent Italy for the second time, after 2016, where she represented her country although she was not the winner of that year’s festival, as the Stadio winners were not able to participate in Eurovision.

The second favorite is the band Måneskin. The popular pop rock band has a large fan base that follows them and will definitely be one of the protagonists. In third place is Annalisa, who has reached the source many times, but without winning so far.

See the bets in detail:

Fedez & Francesca Michielin 3.50-4.50
Måneskin 5.00-6.00
Annalissa 8.00-9.00
Aiello 8.00-12.00
Arisa 9.00-10.00
Ermal Meta 7.50-11.00
Irama 8.00-11.00
Noemi 9.00-12.00
Fulminacci 9.00-13.00
Gio Evan 13.00-20.00
Lo stato sociale 12.00-13.00
Random 13.00-20.00
Gaia 9.00-15.00 (this is kinda surprising)
Max Gazzè & TMB 15.00-16.00
Willie Peyote 16.00-25.00
Fasma 15.00-21.00
Francesco Renga 15.00-21.00
Colapescedimartino 16.00-33.00
Extraliscio ft. Davide Toffolo 25.00-31.00
La rappresentante di lista 25.00-31.00
Madame 20.00-33.00
Coma_Cose 33.00-36.00
Ghemon 41.00-50.00
Bugo 50.00-51.00
Orietta Berti 50.00-51.00

Of course, all of the above will be overturned as soon as the journalists listen exclusively to the candidate songs and write their review.

Who do you think will be the winner of Sanremo 2021?

Italy: Jalisse complains for the 24th rejection in the Sanremo Festival!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Jalisse, the duo that won Sanremo in 1997, then representing Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest with Fiumi Di Parole winning fourth place, publicly expressed their protest and displeasure that they were once again not selected among the competing artists in the upcoming festival.

Jalisse, which consists of Alessandra Drusian and Fabio Ricci, and is a couple in life, are constantly trying since their victory at Sanremo 1997, to be back on the Ariston stage, without success.

Fabio Ricci wonders in his long post on the official page of Jalisse, if in the end the reason for their rejection is that they do not have the right acquaintances. Nevertheless, as he characteristically states, they will insist, because they remain romantic.

Every year, with fearless hearts, for 24 years, we hang on to television, hand in hand like two dreamy lovers, like when you wait until Santa Claus arrives late or when you are the last in a long line and you hope it’s your turn and instead they close your door. We hope that Jalisse will be among those names that will be announced, with the new song that we submit to the jury, every year.

Jalisse a Sanremo? 24 volte no!

Anche stasera, come da 24 anni, Alessandra e Fabio hanno seguito la tv per scoprire i…

Jalisse wonder why they are cut every year, saying that they do not want to believe the rumors that everyone who is selected has friendly relations with people on the jury, etc. Fabio Ricci also reveals the song they sent to last year’s festival, saying that they will definitely release the song they have submitted this year as well.
