Posted October 31, 2024Oct 31 Italy 2025 Lucio Corsi Volevo essere un duro Bk8WsYLyVZc The songs for Sanremo Giovani, the selection that sends 4 artists to the main show, are out. @1851949214978498830
February 12Feb 12 So Sanremo is the same exhausting mess it always is (sorry I know some fans love it but give me a tightly produced nordic production any day of the week). Some good tracks in there as always but the most likely winner is probably Giorgia. lYrjLt9cn0Y With Achille Lauro (of San Marino 2022 fame) a possible dark horse -VDE0aoVDxo
February 12Feb 12 It would be nice to finally see Giorgia at Eurovision, I’m worried about Simone Christicchi personally, just don’t see anything in that song at all. Elodie is my winner from this crop but looks like it’s not her year sadly.
February 13Feb 13 Spent a lot of the last day going through all of these and there's some solid stuff that based on early voting has no chance (The Kolors, Serena Brancale, Joan Thiele, Clara, Rose Villain, Elodie, Francesca Michielin) but it definitely looks like Simone Christicchi or Giorgia's to lose, with Fedez, Olly and Achille Lauro in with a shot. Personally, I thought Brunori Sas had a stronger 'older guy ballad' than Simone - one of my favourites personally too, but what do I know.
February 16Feb 16 I think that’s another 2-5 kind of result on lock for Italy, another strong entry. Christicchi really dropped off after the early hype, thankfully. Shame for Giorgia really, what an incredible performance she gave. Italy love their male singers though, looking at the top five. Edited February 16Feb 16 by gooddelta
February 16Feb 16 pretty decent I suppose, but it's really Italy on autopilot, it could grow on me but it feels a bit forgettable after its performed at the moment.
February 16Feb 16 Author Olly confirmed that he has not yet made a decision about #Eurovision 2025 and needs time to consider it will stay as a question mark in the thread for now :thinking:
February 16Feb 16 Fingers crossed!! The only time it’s happened since 2011 that the winner refused to go to Eurovision was Stadio in 2016 and RAI chose so it’s not necessarily just the runner-up, but that year it did happen to be Francesca Michelin who came 2nd. Also 2011 it was the Newcomer winner that went. Another time it happened was 2012 when Emma won, but that year Sanremo wasn’t technically an NF, they just did Sanremo, and then a jury picked the entrant and it ended up being Nina Zilli who was 7th. 2014 also just didn’t have any bearing on Eurovision, they internally selected Emma. So hopefully if Olly declines, they can pick Giorgia or Elodie.
February 17Feb 17 The Brunori Sas song is pretty much my favourite Italian ballad in years. Love it, I wonder what the chance of the top two both declining Eurovision are. Slim I guess.
February 17Feb 17 Really strong ballad which will do well in ESC too but I agree it is a bit by-numbers entry for Italy.

February 19Feb 19 The Brunori Sas song is pretty much my favourite Italian ballad in years. Love it, I wonder what the chance of the top two both declining Eurovision are. Slim I guess. Lucio said he’d go, I do lowkey think Olly might decline as he is still stalling :lol: He’s said because he has a tour he needs to weigh up if it can be rearranged. I wish it was the old rules where a panel just chooses since Giorgia won the jury with both press and the panel so it would be her I assume, and it kind of made more sense since Sanremo is not even an NF really it’s a huge thing in Italy by itself and just happens to inform their Eurovision decision. So it makes sense for some kind of special panel to choose as they did before. In saying that, the actual Sanremo winners have done very well at Eurovision for like a decade now. The rules should change based on what song I want the most in short :whistle:
February 22Feb 22 Ah I did definitely have a feeling that’s what was coming! Volevo essere un duro is more interesting than Balorda Nostalgia and I prefer it personally but I think it will do worse for Italy. Olly had so many controversies though and I’m glad he’s not going as the song was just so autopilot Italy but in a way that was worse than what they usually do.
