Eurovision 2023: Watch video of the BIG 5 and Ukraine’s rehearsals!

The preparations on Liverpool for the 67th Eurovision Song Contest are on fire and it’s now a wrap for the seventh and last day of the technical rehearsals. After their first technical rehearsals, the representatives of the BIG 5 and Ukraine took the stage of the M&S Bank Arena for their second rehearsals.

The second rehearsals gave the opportunity to the delegations to fix any mistakes spotted on the first rehearsals and help the artists feel more safe and familiar with the Eurovision big stage.

Because accredited journalists are not allowed to watch both the first and second rehearsals this year, we have very little information about what this year’s artists have prepared for the Eurovision stage. EBU has just uploaded through the official Eurovision channel in YouTube a recap of today’s rehearsals. More specifically, we will have the chance to watch exclusive TV footage of today’s rehearsals.

The countries that had their second rehearsals today were the following:

  1. Germany
  2. France
  3. Italy
  4. Spain
  5. Ukraine
  6. United Kingdom

Italy: The three minute version of “Due Vite”!

In the Eurovision Song Contest there is the rule according to which all the songs when performed live on the semi-final and final nights must be maximum of three minutes in length. So while the tracks may last longer on music platforms and on the official  album, they will need to undergo some processing for their live performance.

One of the countries that usually chooses longer tracks is Italy, where again this year its participation with Marco Mengoni and “Due vite” had to be modified.

Below you can see the lyrical differences between the regular length and the three-minute length of the song on the night of the Grand Final.

IT’S OFFICIAL: Marco Mengoni will sing Due Vite in Eurovision 2023!

Earlier today, it became known from the official Eurovision YouTube channel that the winner of the 73rd Festival di Sanremo, Marco Mengoni will represent Italy in Eurovision 2023 with his song “Due Vite”. Specifically, the Eurovision YouTube channel published his live performance from the Sanremo Festival.

Here is the published video:

 

We already knew that the popular Italian artist wanted to return to Eurovision after his last attempt in 2013 with the song “L’ essenziale” that ended up in 7th place at the Grand Final. Although, he hadn’t decided if he wanted to go with his winning Sanremo entry. In a previous interview with TG1, Marco Mengoni did not seem to be sure about the song with which he would take part in Eurovision for the second time, since as he mentioned he was thinking about not competing in Liverpool with Due Vite, but with another song.

The last time an Italian representative did not take part in Eurovision by participating in Sanremo was Nina Zilli, who replaced Per Semper with L’amore è femmina, eventually finishing ninth in Baku.

Here is his 2013 entry:

Italy: The detailed results of Sanremo 2023

After the Grand Final of  Sanremo 2023 and the victory of Marco Mengoni, the detailed results for all the nights of the Festival have been published.

On the third night when we heard the 28 songs for the second time – the TV audience and the polling committee voted, where Ultimo was ranked first. The television audience had him first with a percentage of 18.83%, while the polling committee ranked him only 11th. The difference was also big for Giorgia, whom the polling committee had in 6th place, while the public only in 12th. Elodie did not impress the audience and was ranked 13th. Finally, LDA who was 9th in the audience, came 22nd in the panel. All this resulted in the two singers losing several places in the general ranking and LDA rising quite a bit.

On the night of the duets, a panel of polls and a panel of journalists gave first place to Giorgia. The audience, however, had a different opinion, ranking her 4th. Elodie also did better in the committees compared to the public. Mr Rain who came 5th in the audience was only 25th in the panel of journalists. Ariete was in last place on both committees, while in the TV audience she finished 7th.

As for the night of the final it seems that the TV audience was the one who deprived Giorgia of a place in the super final by ranking her 9th in the first round of voting. In the super final Marco Mengoni came first in both the TV audience and the committees, while Ultimo was second in the audience and last in the journalists’ committee.

Overall, the TV audience was most supportive of:

  • Ultimo
  • Mr. Rain
  • Fashion
  • Ariete
  • LDA

And cast more of them:

  • Giorgia
  • Elodie
  • Colapesce Dimartino
  • Coma_Cose
  • Paola and Chiara
  • Leo Gassmann

Overall, the winner Marco Mengoni was favored by both the TV audience and the committees, something very important for a good result at the Sanremo Festival. Two other artists who achieved this were Lazza and Tananai.

Marco Mengoni has confirmed his participation in Eurovision 2023, now it remains to be seen whether he will go with Due Vite or change his song.
