    Austria AUSTRIA 2023 - Teya & Salena - Who the Hell is Edgar?

    This has the potential to go viral on Italian TikTok with the "Oh mio padre" part, since calling celebrities "mio padre" is very popular there. Personally I'm giving :8: in the poll. I've had it on repeat the whole morning so far, but it's the kind of song I grow tired of in less than a week.

    Italy ITALY 2023 - Marco Mengoni - Due Vite

    Marco has some songs that I think could actually win Eurovision, like Voglio and Cambia un uomo. Due vite is not it, but I still don't think he will change the song in the end.

    Italy ITALY 2023 - Marco Mengoni - Due Vite

    Spotify streams are dominated by teenagers, very often we have rappers at the top that are completely unknown outside of that demographic. The main problem with Sanremo televoting is that not all demographics are equally inclined to vote, and the televote is absolutely dominated by women of all...

    Italy ITALY 2023 - Marco Mengoni - Due Vite

    Our current voting system basically means that the televote has all the power until we get to the superfinal, personally I preferred the 2021 system where each jury, televote included, had one night entirely for them and then they all voted together for the superfinal.

    Italy ITALY 2023 - Marco Mengoni - Due Vite

    I thought it was a huge improvement from last year and ended up somewhat liking 11 out of 14 songs, they do sound very Italian though and I understand why non-Italians dislike a lot of them, especially in the Eurovision bubble.

    Italy ITALY 2023 - Marco Mengoni - Due Vite

    Yeah, i honestly don't see him losing at this point. He's a superstar with a large fanbase BUT, unlike Ultimo, he can also attract votes from outside of his fanbase, so he will probably win the televote, he's also going to win the demoscopic jury since its composition leads it to favour safe...

    No, he clearly said that he would like to go back. https://www.eurofestivalnews.com/2023/02/01/marco-mengoni-eurovision-2023-ci-tornerei/

    Italy ITALY 2023 - Marco Mengoni - Due Vite

    That's completely normal for bandmates to do during concerts here, wrecking the stage was unnecessary though.

    Italy ITALY 2023 - Marco Mengoni - Due Vite

    Anna has a... ehm... "unique" personality and absolutely refused to participate in ANY promotional event for the festival, including interviews with the press. Something tells me the last place was an act of revenge more than anything.

    Italy ITALY 2023 - Marco Mengoni - Due Vite

    As much as I would like for a woman to win, this looks like a two-horse race between Marco Mengoni and Ultimo, with Madame, Elodie and Giorgia fighting for third place. Ultimo has by far the largest fanbase of any contestant, he doesn't even need to promote himself via Sanremo, he is probably...

    Italy ITALY 2023 - Marco Mengoni - Due Vite

    I'm going to make a pointless prediction without even knowing the participants and say that either Madame or Pinguini Tattici Nucleari are going to win Sanremo next year, they both haven't released any new music this year so far and I think it's because they are working on their next album, and...

    EUROVISION 2022 - General Discussion Thread

    I managed to get tickets for both the final jury show and the live second semifinal. Getting the latter was rough, every time I selected an option and try to buy it would always that the tickets were unavailable, I had to try maybe 15 times or more.

    Your personal semi qualifiers

    I just noticed that Belgium is in the second semifinal, not sure why I thought he was in the first, so I have to swap :be: with :ch: . I'll also swap :rs: with :cy: in the second semi.

    Eurovision 2022 in Your Language

    I think that :at: Aureola and :es: Rallentatore are more accurate translations, for :md: I think "Trenino" is more accurate than "Treno".

    Austria AUSTRIA 2022 - LUM!X & Pia Maria - Halo

    Gabry Ponte cowrote the song so of course this makes it easier to sell to both the Italian public and radios/tv broadcasters, whether or not he is involved directly in promoting it. Also, I think Mediaset expects RAI to promote LUM!X as "the one Italian Eurovision contestant that you can support...

    Ukraine UKRAINE 2022 - Kalush Orchestra - Stefania

    They can obviously win the televote because of the emotional reaction their participation will get from the audience, but even if the juries had no bias against this type of music, the vocals in the Vidbir performance weren't good enough to get jury support (I'm talking about the chorus, not the...

    Italy ITALY 2022 - Mahmood and Blanco - Brividi

    I get your point, but the idea that the song is not true to Mahmood's style that's kind of implied in your post (and that was stated explicitly by other users way back in this thread) is wrong, especially because it doesn't take Blanco's own style into consideration. The song sounds exactly like...
