Italy ITALY 2022 - Mahmood and Blanco - Brividi

[escYOUnited]

​

Ho sognato di volare con te
Su una bici di diamanti
Mi hai detto: "Sei cambiato, non vedo
Più la luce nei tuoi occhi"

La tua paura cos'è?
Un mare dove non tocchi mai
Anche se il sesso non è
La via di fuga dal fondo

Dai, non scappare da qui
Non lasciarmi così
Nudo con i brividi
A volte non so esprimermi

E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle
E pagherei per andar via
Accetterei anche una bugia

E ti vorrei amare ma sbaglio sempre
E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi

Tu, che mi svegli il mattino
Tu, che sporchi il letto di vino
Tu, che mi mordi la pelle
Con i tuoi occhi da vipera

E tu, sei il contrario di un angelo
E tu, sei come un pugile all'angolo
E tu scappi da qui, mi lasci così

Nudo con i brividi
A volte non so esprimermi

E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle
E pagherei per andar via
Accetterei anche una bugia

E ti vorrei amare ma sbaglio sempre
E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi

Dimmi che non ho ragione
E vivo dentro una prigione
E provo a restarti vicino
Ma scusa se poi mando tutto a puttane e

Non so dirti ciò che provo, è un mio limite
Per un "ti amo" ho mischiato droghe e lacrime
Questo veleno che ci sputiamo ogni giorno
Io non lo voglio più addosso

Lo vedi, sono qui
Su una bici di diamanti, uno fra tanti
Nudo con i brividi
A volte non so esprimermi

E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle
E pagherei per andar via
Accetterei anche una bugia

E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi​

A 6, for Blanco. I expected much, much better.

 

[Ianp16]

Just watched Brividi and...

 

[jatojo]

I can't sleep now because I have that super annoying falsetto "Brividi, brividi, brividi" inside my head. Would rather listen to a nail scrathing on a chalkboard.

 

[Etanna]

They confirmed now

 

[Carlkva]

Now that its official, I can give them my , I love this song so much and the live is so good!!!

 

[elanyvx]

On press conference Mahmood and Blanco confirms for Eurovision 2022

 

[Jopi]

Yeah... probably just me looking too much into things

That was you hoping for Irama there again

 

[HayashiM]

Ok, I'm giving a . It's not the most confident 12 ever, but given the quality and self-sabotage I see everywhere else this year, I just kind have to... for now.

 

[Koori]

Worst Italian entry since their return, but I guess they'll become a new Sweden when people will be hyping every sound they send just because it's Italy

 

[Mimmon]

Kinda happy for result but I need to listen all songs (Only heard 3 songs lol)

 

[Realest]

W but I guess they'll become a new Sweden when people will be hyping every sound they send just because it's Italy

Most People here hate every Sweden sends, just because its Sweden.

I'm super happy with this choice. Beautiful song with great harmony between the two.
I was so tired yesterday that i didn't even react (physically like i usually do when things go my way or here on the forum..)
M&B grew and grew on my sanremo list all the way to 3rd place.

I still don't like Soldi, but Mahmood, you have successfully redeemed yourself
(though Senhit and Waylon still eat you for breakfast)

I think i'm getting obsessed with the returnees.

To me this is just a ballad, no different to their 2020 or 2013 entries. It is a fine well written ballad, but the hype it gets from some isn't justified at all once you hear it. It is a bit too slow and it gets boring after a while. Also I feel like their voices don't really fit to a ballad, they sing pretty well tho. Is it going to get top 10? Probably. But no higher than 5th place. Not that 5th isn't an excellent result but it won't win or get top 3 as many predict (not here, in general).
I'm convinced that if this same song was sang by two unknown guys, even if they were much better singers and an actual couple, it wouldn't even get 1/3 of the hype it gets and wouldn't even be in the Sanremo podium.
So far Mahmood has 2/2 in least favourite Italian entries of this century, I hope if he comes back for a third time he will finally bring something that I like.

It is the destiny of the best to have, among those who admire them, a small extremist group of serial haters (those who detest and criticize despite everything). Especially in music, as an art, such individuals fail to understand why some nations are always competitive. His subjectivity will always prevail over the objectivity of things at least until reality brings people back to earth. I read in forum members' posts that they drew comparisons to Måneskin when they were massacred last year and his song was treated worse than "the sausage festival anthem". Today the Måneskin are gods and a high standard, almost unattainable. I smile when I see, in addition to Koori (whom I see for the first time), the usual members who each year have a cold or negative comment prepared.

M&B has done a good job and will be able to play their cards to make a good ESC trail. Sweden, beyond everything, will always remain a competitive nation.

I always recommend to these people full of suspicions, fears and frustrations that they enjoy the music and then... it will be the heart of the community that crowns the winner (jury games a part).

You made some forced comparisons. Mengoni in 2013 brought a Pop genre, in 2020 Diodato a Ballad and in 2022 M&B also brought a Ballad but with R & B / Trap influences. Where is the common thread of the reasoning? On the ESC ranking, I have never read of any members who talked about podiums. In the rosiest of hypotheses there was talk of Top 5. At least someone joked or traveled with the imagination saying that Italy could win the second time. We, as the host country, hope to be in the top 10 and make the eurofans happy. However, between jury games and questionable choices at the ESC, improbable songs also won. Are we really sure that some of those winners are superior to M&B? Mahmood's 2019 song was a whole new sound and vocality and was always an R&B / Trap. Do you want to remind me what he won in 2019? The much hated Ballad (hated only if Italy brings it).

Well about the placement comment, as I wrote I'm not referring to the people who write in this forum, but some over the top reactions that I see from people on twitter mostly about how this is going to be a sure top 3 and it is quite many that write it. Maybe I should have made it more clear that I'm referring to them.
About comparing it to the other two songs, I'm not really comparing the songs with each other in the sense that they sound identical, I'm just saying that the sound of this song isn't really THAT different and new neither for Italy nor Eurovision. "Soldi" did at least brig something new to the table. "Arcade" was indeed nothing new either and I'm not saying that "Brividi" is worse than it, they are probably on a similar level.
I don't know what impression did I gave, but I don't have Italy's entries quite the opposite. Italy was my winner in 2015, 2017 & 2018 and in my top 10 many more times, I simply don't like this particular one.

Quarrel between Irama and Grignani during the evening of the covers? Irama denies it (but the public does not believe it - Grignani is an unmanageable type).

Sanremo 2022, lite Irama-Grignani? É scontro su quale cover cantare

Per adesso sono solo voci di corridoio, ma c'è la possibilità che questo screzio porti a una conclusione più grave nel corso del Festival

Irama: “Nessun problema con Grignani, a Sanremo 2022 ci siamo divertiti come pazzi”

Tra Irama e Gianluca Grignani non c’è stata alcuna tensione prima della performance insieme al Festival di Sanremo 2022: il Big in gara ha smentito...

I respect your tastes and your words. From your words I feel that you are an intelligent and educated person. A lot of times we don't have to take the words of fans on social media at face value. Here, for example, there were a lot of members tearing up their clothes for Senhit and then it was proved that "Adrenalina" wasn't all this great song. Regarding the "Italian ballad", we Italians pay dearly for our history of romantic and melodious songs. When you listen to a romantic song you always think that we are faced with something that is not new and I can understand this feeling / thought.

Honestly do y’all think Italy will flop this year?

It’s far ahead of everything’s that’s been selected so far, only Spain comes close.
