February 12, 2023/0 Comments/in Eurovision 2023, Italy/by Stella Loutsou

The 73rd Festival di Sanremo has come to an end, crowning Marco Mengoni winner with the song Due Vite.

Amadeus, along with Gianni Morandi and Chiara Ferragni, were tonight’s presenters. There were also a lot of guest appearances, including a message from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a performance by Depeche Mode.

During the first phase of the final we listened to all 28 songs again for the third time and, after a 100% televoting which was added to the rankings of the previous nights, the first 5 songs qualified to the next phase: the super final, in which voting restarted from zero, not taking into consideration any of the previous voting procedures of the whole week. In the super final, everyone had a say: televoting by 34%, demoscopic jury by 33% and jury of journalists also by 33%.

Elodie’s best performance in this year’s Sanremo. Her look is gorgeous and she’s very good vocally.

Italy: The results of the second night of Sanremo 2023!

February 9, 2023/0 Comments/in Eurovision 2023, Italy/by Stella Loutsou

The Seconda Serata of the 73rd Festival di Sanremo has ended and we have now officially listened to all the songs of this year’s Festival! At the end of the night, we found out the overall ranking of the jury of journalists (i.e. print and television journalists by 33%, website journalists by 33% and radio journalists by 33%).

Amadeus, along with Gianni Morandi and Francesca Fagnani were tonight’s presenters. We also had quite a few guests, including the Black Eyed Peas.

The contestants

Will – Stupido

Debut singer with a classic Italian ballad.

Modà – Lasciami

A well-known rock band appearing for the third time in Sanremo. Their previous entries have done very well, although their song this year is a bit predictable.

Sethu – Cause perse

Another debut artist with a rousing hyperpop song. The singer’s twin brother plays the guitar.

Articolo 31 – A beautiful trip

A classic Italian hip hop group that recently reunited. A nostalgic melody with rap verses.

Lazza – Cenere

A very special song, mixing rap with 90’s dance music. Very strong performance.

Giorgia – Parole dette male

Fifth participation of the singer in Sanremo who has never ended up outside of the top 3. A presentation with a lot of finesse.

Colapesce Dimartino – Splash

The duo that rocked 2021 with the hit Musica leggerissima is back again this year with yet another vintage disco hit that makes the audience cheer.

Shari – Egoista

A debutant singer and the third Sanremo Giovani finalist of the night, with a ballad accompanied by the piano.

Madame – Il bene nel male

Her second participation, Madame returns with a song as strong as Voce, if not stronger. Very interesting performance.

Levante – Vivo

The fan favorite singer returns after 2020 with an electropop hit, unlike 2020’s Tikibombom. Very uplifting song and performance.

Tananai – Tango

Second entry for the young artist who already has a large fanbase, after having gone viral despite his last place in Sanremo 2022. His entry is nothing like the one of last year, as he has returned with a typical italian ballad. Really good vocals, notably improved from last year.

Rosa Chemical – Made in Italy

A sensual performance of an extremely fun and original swing song altogether. This is the singer’s first Sanremo participation.

LDA – Se poi domani

Typical italian dramatic ballad for the debutant singer.

Paola e Chiara – Furore

Fifth entry for the female duet. The song is very danceable and accompanied by dancers.

The results

After we found out the jury of journalists’ voting for the first set of 14 songs last night, tonight the jury of journalists voted for the remaining 14. Their ranking of tonight’s songs was the following:

Colapesce e Dimartino
Madame
Tananai
Lazza
Giorgia
Rosa Chemical
Paola e Chiara
Levante

Italy: The lyrics of the songs for Sanremo 2022!

January 23, 2022/0 Comments/in Eurovision 2022, Italy/by Kostantinos Thermos

The traditional TV sorrisi e canzoni magazine photoshoot of Sanremo’s artists is here, along with the interviews of the artists and the lyrics of their songs.

Let’s look at the lyrics of the songs one by one:

ACHILLE LAURO feat. Harlem Gospel Choir – Domenica

Achille Lauro seems to talk about a carefree life like a “roller coaster”, full of occasional love affairs, likening it to “Sunday”, which is the title of the song, as the most carefree day of the week.

AKA 7EVEN – Perfetta così

A love song, in which Aka 7even explains that the woman he is referring to is “perfect with her imperfections”. In his own words, “In this song I tried to put myself in the shoes of an insecure woman who, in a relationship or while looking at herself in the mirror, feels fragile. So, I sing to her what I’ve always told the girls I’ve been with in my life: Be strong, there’s nothing wrong with you.”

ANA MENA – Duecentomila ore

Ana Mena sings about a secret, perhaps toxic love story, about the desperate wait until “the night comes” to see her beloved, only to be separated again the next day.

DARGEN D’AMICO – Dove si balla

The lyrics of this song, as Dargen D’Amico explains in his interview, were born as a metaphor for the need we have to rationalize the time of coronavirus, each in our own way, especially in the midst of quarantine. Dargen’s way is to dance carefree, although he admits that he always had a love-hate relationship with dance songs before he appreciated their vitality because of the quarantine.

DITONELLAPIAGA & RETTORE – Chimica

As you would expect from the title “Chimica” (Chemistry), the song by Ditonellapiaga and Rettore talks about how no one can stop two people when there is chemistry between them.

ELISA – O forse sei tu

Another clear love song, with Elisa singing “maybe you are the moment that will bring me a little joy, and that stupid will to live”. Essencially, she’s talking about “the chemistry that should be in a relationship, the difference the person you love makes to you”.

EMMA – Ogni volta è così

As she explains, Emma’s song is about “a love story and a situation in which women’s attitudes in relationships are misunderstood and often judged as being wrong”.

FABRIZIO MORO – Sei tu

A love song with Fabrizio Moro’s intense and distinctive way of writing that he has gotten us used to. According to him, “I have written many love songs in my life, but I believe this is the most intense and significant dedication of love I have ever made to a person”.

GIANNI MORANDI – Apri tutte le porte

A hopeful song that advises us to “open all the doors and let the sun in”, instead of letting our lazy thoughts and habits drown us.

GIOVANNI TRUPPI – Tuo padre, mia madre, Lucia

“A love song in which I recognize myself and which contains roughness and various contrasts. Suitable for listening to in the dark,” according to Truppi. “Lucia” in the title is his daughter.

GIUSI FERRERI – Miele

As Ferreri explains, “a song that is both romantic and melancholic. As the lyrics say, ‘it’s a blade that tastes like honey’, in every relationship there is sweetness but also bitterness.”

HIGHSNOB & HU – Abbi cura di te

A song about “a special aspect of love: letting a person go peacefully after a period of a toxic relationship. We both had similar experiences, so we understood each other immediately,” as Highsnob & Hu explain.

IRAMA – Ovunque sarai

“It’s not a love song,” Irama clarifies, even if at first glance the lyrics suggest that. “It talks about the memory of a person who is no longer in my life. I would rather not reveal who that person is. I want everyone to be free, listening to it, to think of a person they have in their heart.” In any case, it’s a song written like a poem, about people who are no longer in our lives.

IVA ZANICCHI – Voglio amarti

A song about passion that goes beyond ages. “It is a hymn to love. It evokes peace and joy. Love is a strange emotion that one can feel at any age,” in the singer’s own words.

LA RAPPRESENTANTE DI LISTA – Ciao ciao

“A song about the end of the world”, we are sung by La rappresentante di lista. In fact, the song seems to be a great metaphor for all kinds of human crises, the intense emotions we feel during them, but also the small signs of hope expressed more in the joyful refrain.

LE VIBRAZIONI – Tantissimo

“Tantissimo”, according to Le Vibrazioni, is about the wounds that remain forever, which we must try to turn into something positive.

MAHMOOD & BLANCO – Brividi

Perhaps the most beautiful love song of the year, as noted by the journalists who were the first to hear the songs, as they are every year. More specifically, “the lyrics begin by narrating a dream and go on to describe the problem of wanting to give it all to love, to the point where you end up feeling like you’re doing something wrong yourself.”

MASSIMO RANIERI – Lettera di là dal mare

A song that talks about “a perpetual journey and the feeling of finally being able to find the ‘other shore'”, another side of life.

MATTEO ROMANO – Virale

Another love song that describes love as “something so beautiful that everyone talks about, especially young people”, hence the title “Virale” (Viral).

MICHELE BRAVI – Inverno dei fiori

“A love song intimate, sentimental but not sad, that speaks of hope”, according to Bravi.

NOEMI – Ti amo non lo so dire

The song with the most lyrics at this year’s festival. “It’s a metaphor: You can take it as a love song, but I feel like it’s a song about our relationship with others and ourselves. To say ‘I love you’ to someone takes a lot of sincerity and a lot of strength,” Noemi explains.

RKOMI – Insuperabile

“Insuperabile” has special lyrics, as it talks about “a love that is conflicting and very dangerous, comparable to sports cars”, according to Rkomi.

SANGIOVANNI – Farfalle

This song was written after a period of crisis that Sangiovanni went through due to the pandemic. The title Farfalle (Butterflies) and the rest of the lyrics refer to the singer’s need to “find the butterflies in his stomach again”, perhaps with the help of a companion.

TANANAI – Sesso occasionale

Contrary to what one might think based on the title, “Sesso occassionale” (Casual sex) is about the exact opposite, about the fact that we should sometimes put our minds in their place and not just make reckless decisions in our (erotic) relationships with others.

YUMAN – Ora e qui

Sanremo Giovani winner Yuman invites us to “seize every moment, the classic ‘carpe diem'” through his song “Ora e qui”.

As a reminder, the Sanremo Festival will take place on 1-5 February at the Teatro Ariston in San Remo.
