February 10, 20187 yr So we are now on Song 10 which is terrible. Isn't the show supposed to be over in half an hour. What kind of mess? I need more wine.
February 10, 20187 yr So we are now on Song 10 which is terrible. Isn't the show supposed to be over in half an hour. What kind of mess? I need more wine. Italian television has its reputation for a reason!
February 10, 20187 yr Some gay on twitter has just said to me don't expect this to be over for another 2 and half hours.
February 10, 20187 yr Italian television has its reputation for a reason! I knew not off this reputation. This is my fist venture into Sanremo. Apparently everything needs to be presented correctly and properly.
February 10, 20187 yr I mean if you’re used to the meticulously drilled and efficient presentation style of Melfest and MGP then Sanremo is quite a big leap to the other end of the scale. Should only really be attempted if you have a deep love of Italian Music.
February 10, 20187 yr Author I love Italian music but I could not sit through this :lol: Tried to in Francesca's year, it's just far too long and a bit bland and soulless to watch compared to the fun and big spectacle of say Melfest. This is I think the third time as they've sung, rather than having semis I think it was like all 20 sang, then 10 the next day, 10 the next, and now the final bit.
February 10, 20187 yr Superfinalists are Annalisa, Ermal & Fabrizio and Lo Stato Sociale. Great top 3!
February 10, 20187 yr Author Omg Come on Annalisa!!!! QUEEN Either way her best Sanremo placing but I've really fallen in love with Il mondo prima di te!
February 11, 20187 yr Ermal & Fabrizio win after a televoting landslide! Lo Stato Sociale just beat Annalisa to second. Now we await news whether Ermal & Fabrizio's song will be allowed to compete in Eurovision (there were issues earlier this week regarding their song being released a couple of years ago in another form or something) which could be an issue in Eurovision. They've said earlier this week they'll go to Eurovision if they can.
February 11, 20187 yr Author Them to be disqualified and Lo stato sociale to refuse so Annalisa goes to Eurovision x Eurovision seems less stringent on rules recently so I doubt anything will come of it :lol:
February 11, 20187 yr Yeah I think it'll be fine, the EBU usually just trot out the line "the song has no competitive advantage from its previous form of release" whenever this issue arises these days. The fact it is one of their pets Italy should be in their favour too :kink:
February 11, 20187 yr The music video + song package for this is really strong, although I'm guessing this probably strays quite close to the political speech rule too? It'll still be fine, it'll be no more of a "rule-break" than France's "Mercy" I imagine. V4zO_1Z_1S8
