Italy: Alessandra Amoroso will compete in Sanremo 2024 with a ballad!

Undoubtedly, the biggest surprise that Sanremo organizers had been keeping for the audience was the participation of Alessandra Amoroso. Amoroso has been an insatiable desire for all Sanremo fans and her presence in the upcoming edition is far but unnoticed by both the Italian and international audience.

Hence, a question is raised regarding the music style of her first Sanremo participation. Well and as she personally disclosed during an exclusive interview in RaiPlay, she will participate in Sanremo with a ballad. “Fino a Qui” as her entry is titled will be circling around awareness, without giving as any more information.

Italy: Sanremo Giovani 2023 tonight!

Italian music lovers will have the opportunity to get a first taste of the upcoming 74th San Remo Festival tonight, as the Sanremo Giovani 2023 will be held in the small town of Liguria, from which three artists will compete in February in the great celebration of Italian music.

For the third consecutive year, Sanremo Giovani is not included in the Festival’s programme, with Amadeus keen to enhance its prestige by giving the new voices of Italian music the opportunity to introduce themselves to the ever-demanding Italian audience.

A total of twelve artists will take part in tonight’s show. The selection of the twelve participants was the result of a very extensive process that involved more than 550 artists until the final twelve were shortlisted.

In particular, the artists who will take part tonight in the Sanremo Giovani 2023 Grand Final are:

  • bnkr44“Effetti speciali”

The selection of the three artists who will participate in February at Sanremo 2024 alongside the big names of Italian music will be determined 50% by the judgement of a jury together with the Festival’s artistic director, Amadeus, and 50% by the popular will of Italian viewers.

The presenter of tonight’s event will, of course, be Amadeus, and the show is expected to start at 21:30 CET. You can watch Sanremo Giovani 2023 through Rai1’s channel by clicking HERE.

Italy: The artists’ initial reactions upon their participation announcement at Sanremo 2024!

Amadeus revealed the lineup for the 74th edition of the Sanremo Festival just a few hours ago. Many previous winners, successful artists of the Italian music scene as well as Italian superstars make up the lineup, who will compete for the Golden Lion from February 6 to 10 at Sanremo’s Teatro Ariston.

The artists were extremely anxious until Amadeus’ announcement of the competing acts. The chosen artists had no idea whether they’d be on the Amadeus shortlist, as shown on their social media posts, with some of their reactions being literally epic!

Bigmama

Bigmama, despite being only 24 years old, was able to accomplish one of her greatest dreams, to participate at the Sanremo Festival. She is a symbol for many plus-sized women, but she is also an activist for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community in Italy, which adores her.

Bigmama is unable to control her joy and excitement when she hears her name from Amadeus and falls down sobbing in the video posted on Twitter.

Renga and Nek

The classic Italian pop-music enthusiasts just found their favorites on Renga and Nek. It will not be their first time on the stage of Sanremo. Renga took first place at Sanremo in 2005, while Nek finished in second place in 2015. Nek has also given us the now-iconic “Laura non c’e” during his 1997 debut at the festival, which, although it did not win, went on to become a worldwide hit.

When Amadeus announced their participation, they were in the kitchen getting ready for lunch as their faces lit up.

Mr. Rain

Mr Rain’s participation in this year’s Sanremo festival gave him the necessary boost in his career, in addition to a third place finish. Mr Rain returns to the Festival in 2024 following a successful season with sold out shows all over Italy. Mr Rain’s intentions are revealed in the laconic video he uploaded.

Alessandra Amoroso

Sanremo’s biggest surprise was definitely Alessandra Amoroso. Not only Amadeus, but also his predecessors, have been begging her to perform at the Sanremo Festival for many years. Everyone’s pleas were heard this time, and Alessandra will participate at this huge musical celebration.

Along with a photo showing her back, a small text accompanied her post on X following the announcement of her participation, mentioning:

With an eye on everything that will happen from now on. As if it were the first time on stage. On that stage for the first time.

Il Volo

Following their extremely successful world tour, Il Volo will return once again to Sanremo aiming to win. The Amadeus’ announcement found them in flight, but that did not stop them from watching the artists’ announcement live.

https://twitter.com/ilvolo/status/1731298330603352547?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1731298330603352547%7Ctwgr%5E6982a1f4513f6b3d3dfc867c3639b130da18afc6%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Feurovisionfun.com%2F2023%2F12%2FCEB9CF84CEB1CEBBCEAFCEB1-CEBFCEB9-CEB1CEBDCF84CEB9CEB4CF81CEACCF83CEB5CEB9CF82-CF84CF89CEBD-CF83CF85CEBCCEBCCEB5CF84CEB5CF87CF8CCEBD%2F

Negramaro

Negramaro is one of Italy’s most well-known pop bands and they are also the big favorites to win, according to the early betting. The group appears to be taking their participation in Sanremo 2024 very seriously, as evidenced by a special video for their participation.

Mahmood

Having already won the festival twice in just four years, Mahmood will claim the the victory once again, while he’s a favorite of the press. With a quite humorous post, Mahmood reacted to his participation at the Sanremo 2024.

https://twitter.com/Mahmood_Music/status/1731296931782045775?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1731296931782045775%7Ctwgr%5E6982a1f4513f6b3d3dfc867c3639b130da18afc6%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Feurovisionfun.com%2F2023%2F12%2FCEB9CF84CEB1CEBBCEAFCEB1-CEBFCEB9-CEB1CEBDCF84CEB9CEB4CF81CEACCF83CEB5CEB9CF82-CF84CF89CEBD-CF83CF85CEBCCEBCCEB5CF84CEB5CF87CF8CCEBD%2F

The winner of the 2023 edition of the Sanremo Festival was Marco Mengoni with his song “Due Vite“. Mengoni accepted the RAI invitation and represented his home country at the Eurovision stage for the second time, finishing 4th overall. His single “Due Vite” went to become a major success in Italy and was recently awarded as a five-times platinum record.
