Angelina Mango is one of the favourites to win this year’s contest with her song “La Noia”, however, right after her win in Sanremo 2024, we knew that the song required some slight changes in order to take part in Eurovision, as its duration was longer than three minutes. Read more
Just like last year, some time before the first rehearsals of the countries, the show called “A Little Bit More” aired on the official Eurovision YouTube channel.
So, for all this time before the rehearsals, Eurovision TV will upload different performances of the artists, like different versions of their songs, or covers of songs from other artists.
The latest rumors that rose in recent days were true and we can finally say that Mecnun Giasar will officially contribute with his talent and knowledge, in Angelina Mango and Italy’s race in Eurovision 2024.
As it is already known, it is necessary for all the songs, of all the countries that participate in Eurovision Song Contest, not to last more than three (3) minutes in total. Thus, it is expected that every single song that lasts more than three minutes in advance, will go through some changes in the future regarding the overall duration.
Every year in the Contest there are multiple songs that have to undergo some processing in reducing or changing some of the lyrics in order to last exactly three minutes. This is what happens with Italy this year, while it was already known that Angelina Mango along with her team will change some of the lyrics of “La Noia“. Thus, the very final version of “La Noia” is the following:
As it is already posted on the official account of ESC Discord on Twitter/X, the only alteration is happening during the second chorus, where the lyric of “È la cumbia de la noia” used to be repeated four times, now it is repeated only twice, making the song last exactly three minutes.
Have a watch to Mango’s performance of “La Noia” during the Second Night of the Festival di Sanremo 2024 and the reaction video of the Eurovisionfun’s team on Youtube:
