Sanremo 2010: Aftermath of the scandal

The Avvenire newspaper has published the "secret" results of the Sanremo televote. How they got them as well as the whole voting is under investication as apparently - or should I say as we are in Italy - there seems to be something not quite right. In other countries all sort of tricks are being used, mainly internet hackering. What do they do in Italy? No, you don't my telephone cards, you buy call centers! However, the orchestra in Teatro Ariston formed 50% of the vote and as their top-5 was 1. Malika Ayane, 2. Noemi, 3. Arisa, 4. Marco Mengoni and 5. Simone Christicchi and non of their top-3 made it to the superfinal one can undertand their outburts and protests. 

Here are the televotes in the first round of the final night:
1. Pupo, Emanuele Filiberto & Canonici   212.482 (32,95%)
2. Valerio Scanu   135.588
3. Marco Mengoni   80.287 (jury 4.)
4. Povia   61.125
5. Arisa   37.069 (jury 3.)
6. Irene Fornaciari ft Nomadi   36.210
7. Noemi   23.089 (jury 2.)
8. Malika Ayane   21.668 (jury 1.)
9. Irene Grandi   18.358
10. Simone Cristicchi   16.031 (jury 5.)

Superfinal:
1) Valerio Scanu 235.105 (37,01%)
2) Pupo & co.  213.866 (33,5%)
3) Marco Mengoni 137.913 (29,45)%

Shame the whole top-10 by the jury is not revealed yet but one can suspect Pupo & co were maybe the last one, and Valerio Scanu and Povia at the bottom, too. Considering this the top-3 should have been different or they had a very weird way of counting the points (look how well it was done in Spain last night!). It is clear Marco Mengoni would have been in top-3 anyways, and maybe the winner. Arisa and Malika might have been there, too, or maybe Irene F ft Nomadi as one can quite safely think they were not mongst the last ones on jury's list... 

In the Second Chance round Valerio Scanu beat Pupo & co with 233.092 vs 204.679. Nino D'Angelo third with only 94.042 followed by Sonohra and Toto Cutugno last.
In total during the week in various televotes 3.606.950 televotes were given.

If you are really curious...No,this journalist simply doesn't understand rules of the contest!

He makes confusion and adds two distinct times of televoting (why?!)

Non ho proprio capito che cosa volevi dire? Ció che volevo dire io é che non capisco perche i televoti non sono azzerati dopo il primo ground come fanno avunque dove usano una sistema simile? Cmq se vedo i totali il totale del superfinale é il totale del primo e secondo round, io parlavo dei totali del secondo round dove Scanu ha battuto il trio alla grande....

Vedo che parli benissimo italiano.
Meglio del mio inglese!

Provo a spiegarmi. Il regolamento dice appunto che dopo aver determinato il top3 i voti del primo round vanno azzerati. Si riparte per tutti da zero. Come accade negli altri Paesi.

Questo il giornalista dell'Avvenire non l'ha capito e ha fatto confusione, pensando che il round della superfinale contenesse anche i televoti presi prima. Invece no.

Il primo round è chiuso e nella superfinale si riparte da zero. Quindi dalle 23.39 alle 0.32 Scanu ha preso 235.105 voti, Pupo 213.866 voti, Mengoni 187.913 (3 miei :-) ). Questi sono i voti della sola superfinale, durata circa un'ora (23.39 - 0.32).

Ciao e buona notte!

SONGS OF THE YEAR 2015: #5 KRISTA SIEGFRIDS - ON & OFF

Krista Siegfrids is delivering nice pop tunes one after another and this one is particularly catchy and soon you will be singing along..... Hopefully her Melodifestivalen entry will be equally good!

ESC 2016 WISH LIST: MARGARET FOR POLAND

Małgorzata Jamroży aka Margaret has also been tipped for Eurovision and apparently she did turn it down but she'd be perfect. She's got a look and persona you can't unnotice nor forget, she's got hit songs, she has been voted or nominated for everything from Trendy artist to the Hope of the Year, Fashion Icon and Glamour Woman of the year besides the usual best video, song, album, debut..... Oh she's also a fashion designer! She's very clever with social medias and would surely use it to her advantage if selected for Stockholm 2016. Her debut album is titled Add the blonde , do we need to say more? Except it includes mostly Swedish written pop tunes like Tell me how are ya , Wasted , Start a fire and Heartbeat . And of course her debut single and internationally noticed Thank you very much that you can enjoy below with all its anti-textil feel. I think she's Eurovision perfection, she's cheeky and fun, can we have her?

ESC 2016 BELARUS: NAKED WITH WOLVES?

Today's funniest Eurovision related story comes from Belarus. Some sources claim Ivan wants to perform on stage naked and with live wolf or wolves. It surely would be a first on Eurovision stage! We have seen some forgotten underwear over the years, and some cardbox animals though..... Is it time to take things a bit further?  No, according the rules live animals are not allowed, and Eurovision being a family show nudity won't do either. (It seems to be ok to be half naked if you are a dancer though..... )

Rumors, rumors, rumors....

While the national selections for Junior Eurovision are going on around Europe and Ani Lorak's been confirmed as host all sort of rumors about the real thing are beginning to be the order of the day. Austria returns - or then not. Andorra stays home - or then not. San Marino returns - well, most likely but not surely. Luxembourg should make a come back - or then maybe not. Liechtenstein is still in the running - or has it ever been for real? Has the local TV ever confirmed anything? Is it just wishful thinking by the fans? Poland on the other hand has confirmed they will be in Oslo. And Italy will be still out. And apparently there will be no ban or such for Azerbaijan nor Spain for the irregularities in and after the 2009 edition. EBU had to change the text in the rules to make it sure nothing like that what happened in Azerbaijan could happen again. Or if it will they have means and rules to back up a ban or sanction.... Katerina Avgoustakis has been rumored to be in Oslo...

JEDWARD GETS NAKED FOR THE FANS

Well, almost. The boys celebrated their 650.000th follower on Twitter by being photographed fresh from shower as promised. It's not the first time they drop their clothes as you see here . Meanwhile their second album is nearly here and the title track Young love is hitting the charts....

UK: Naked Blue

The boys of Blue have posed nude again. This time for the Attitude magazine's annual Naked issue and they are also in the cover. Watch the video of the shooting here . Band member Duncan, who is bi-sexual, recently told The Daily Star : “We are getting our kit off for Attitude magazine like the McFly boys did. I’m up for showing everything off. I’m happy enough about the size of my manhood. ” Extra media attention won't hurt their changes in Germany to win it for the UK for the first time since 1997... They will and they can!

CAROLA'S BOOBS STEAL THE SHOW, SVT APOLOGIES

Update! Another thing got Swedes talking last night: Carola's boobs when she was giving away an award. This is not the first time her boombs cause headlines; her misfortunate adventures in the 80's in Japan wer explained with her boobs being too big for Japanese market. Ok.... Or was it the song ? Anyways, Carola apologies and says she thinks the dress is stylish and elegant (even her friends said so) and she's a mature woman in her 40s, not a 16-year-old girl and looks like one. The Swedish Oscars, Guldbagge awards were given out last night. Carola was there as a guest star to sing Barbra Streisand's The way we were when honoring the movie stars who passed away during 2012. However, the cameras were too much on Carola, not on the stars showed in photos in the background and that upset many viewers as that part of the show was to celebrate them, not Carola. Oh well...  The producer of the show tells in Aftonbladet the part of the show was made the sam...

GREECE: HELENA PAPARIZOU HITS AGAIN WITH HAIDE

Eurovision song contest 2005 winner Helena Paparizou has been enjoying Top-5 hits every year since 2003 with the exception of 2010 and 2014, this latest one being already her 27th! And Haide is charting also in Bulgaria and Finland, of all places. The catchiness of her hits has changed less over the years than her face....  Here's the English version , below the Greek version. 

FINLAND: REMEMBERING KIRKA

GOODBYE, FAREWELL...

The time has come. After all these years, 5,7 million visits, 12.000 articles I guess the time has come. As much as I love and care for Eurovision it just doesn't feel the same. The Corona years took their toll and the past two years and certain decisions have helped me to mature the idea that next year I will hear the songs for the first time in semi-final just like any so called local.  The bubble has burst. Add the toxicity in social medias and fandom. The arrogant teenagers who saw their first contest somewhere 2017 or even 2021 who think they know it all and only their opinion matters. Did I mention the toxic atmosphere on social medias? I'm too old for that sh*t. It's been a long ride that took me to various Eurovision on spot as a fan and tourist,  as a journalist, as a delegation member. I met some great people, made memories of lifetime. In stressful, sad periods of my life this blog has been my safe place, a place to escape and forget everything else for an hour o...
