/0 Comments/in , /by

The Italian newspaper, La Stampa, reports that the country’s singer and superstar, Laura Pausini, is among the candidates for the presentation of the 66th Eurovision Song Contest, which will take place next May in Turin.

La Stampa reports that Laura Pausini has already been hit by RAI over the above possibility. Laura first appeared on the music scene in 1993 when she won the Young Artists category at the Sanremo Festival, with the now legendary “La solitudine”. This song was the springboard for her later career, as it brought her to the charts of almost all European countries.

Since then she has released fourteen studio albums, toured around the world, coached talent shows in Italy and Spain, and starred in an Amazon film.

Rai1 director Stefano Coletta confirmed in an interview with ANSA that the hosts of Eurovision 2022 will not be revealed until after the end of Sanremo 2022 which will take place between 1 and 5 February.

Turin will host the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 on 10, 12 and 14 May 2022. The venue of the 2022 contest is PalaOlimpico. The arena opened in 2005 and has hosted many concerts and sporting events, including ice hockey tournaments during the 2006 Winter Olympics.

Laura Pausini: “I would love to participate in Eurovision Song Contest”!

/1 Comment/in , /by

The great star of modern Italian music, Laura Pausini, revealed in a recent interview with elespanol, that she would very much like to participate in Eurovision representing Italy and that in fact RAI proposed to her a few years ago, but due to a world tour she was forced to refuse!

Shortly after her second victory at the Spanish The Voice, where she has been coaching in recent years, Laura Pausini talked about her career, television, and the Eurovision Song Contest.

Spain, is her second home, as it is the country that has experienced, if not more, as much success as in her birthplace Italy. Almost all of her albums are released in Spanish, but even her Italian songs manage to reach the top of the charts. But let’s see what exactly she said about Eurovision, because it really matters.

Currently in Italy, the Eurovision representative is the winner of San Remo, a festival you won in the young talent category. Have you ever considered going to Eurovision at some point in your career?

When I won, Eurovision was not known in Italy and it was a shame because I would love to participate at that time. A few years ago I was asked to participate, but I could not because I was on a world tour.

Italy, after returning to the contest in 2011, chooses its representative every year through the Sanremo festival. Either through the category of young artists, or with general criteria from the big category, or simply by giving this right to the winner. The only year that RAI chose by internal selection was in 2014. In the same year, Laura Pausini indeed made her seventh world tour, entitled The Greatest Hits World Tour. For the history, Italy was finally represented by Emma, ​​with La Mia Citta, finally occupying the 21st place, the worst place in its history.
