/0 Comments/in , , /by

The next group that sets foot on stage for their second rehearsal are Piqued Jacks, representing San Marino with the alternative rock song “Like An Animal”.

Who are the Piqued Jacks?

The Piqued Jacks are an Italian rock band formed in 2006 in Italy. It’s consisted by Andrea Lazzeretti, Francesco Bini, Tommaso Oliveri and Marco Sgaramella. In 2010 and 2011, the band released their first two extended plays and their first debut album was released in 2015 named “Climb Like Ivy Does”. In 2019, Piqued Jacks won the award for the Rock category at the Italian Sanremo Rock.

This year, the group participated in the San Marinize National Selection “Una Voce Per San Marino” which was the biggest national final of the year. Piqued Jacks managed to win and represent San Marino to Eurovision in Liverpool.

The Rehearsal

Unfortunately this year, accredited journalists don’t get the chance to watch the first and second rehearsals, so we only get the information and content that the organizers officially release to the public.

San Marino’s performance is still full of sequins and mood lighting! The group uses the LED wall as a sea with red and black graphics,and it’s clear they’re not leaving until they’ve left their heart and soul on that stage. The main singer has a huge stage presence and charisma which leads the whole performance is gritty and raw in the best possible way.

San Marino: On February 23 the final of Una Voce per San Marino!

/1 Comment/in , /by

Despite their non qualification this year, the public broadcaster of San Marino confirmed very early on that Una Voce per San Marino, the national final through which their participation in Eurovision 2022 was selected, will be repeated for the next contest. Today more information was given about the new edition of Una Voce per San Marino, while the dates of the show were also announced.

The dates and regulations

The process will remain almost the same as what happened at Una Voce per San Marino 2022. In other words, there will again be two categories, that of new artists, but also of established ones. The Academy and Casting process for the selection of the new artists who will compete in the final will take place from October 28, 2022 until January 27, 2023.

60 artists will be selected after the completion of the castings, to move on to the second phase of the process. Five semi-finals will follow (one only for artists of San Marino origin and one second-chance semi-final), from which those who will compete on February 23rd in the final of Una Voce per San Marino, which will take place at the Teatro Nuovo Dogana . The semi-finals will be televised, but the final will be televised live.

Unlike the previous year, established artists will not have the privilege of being directly in the final. Those of them who accept the invitation of the production company to participate in Una Voce per San Marino 2023 will simply avoid the first stage of the Academy and Casting. In other words, they will have to compete normally in the semi-finals and claim, with the new artists, their qualification to the final. Nevertheless, the production company reserves the right, if it deems that an artist is of particular importance, to give him the possibility to compete directly in the grand final, as an exception.

The winner will be selected by a five-member jury. Two judges will be from the country’s public television, two judges from the production company and one judge – a representative of the state government.
