Tonight in prime time show from Sanremo's Villa Ormond Carlo Conti will reveal the names of the 22 Big artists taking part in the next Sanremo festival, all of them possible Eurovision entrants in Kyiv 2017 as well. There went to be 20 Big but with this change also the provisional set of the festival has changed and the Big will be presenting their song 11 each on the first two nights, and not all on the first night as originally planned. The 67th festival takes place from February 7 to 11, 2017
The curious fact is that the chosen artists themselves don't know yet if they're chosen or not, but will dicover it like the rest of us watching the show on tv. Including Albano, who suffered a heart attack the other day but is quickly recovering.

It seems there will be equal number of female and male artists, all are serious artists and no joke entries by non-singers present this year. Apparently rappers and bands have sent a very few submission this year and thus absent totally. Maybe.
Join me tonight 21.35 for some live blogging as things happen.... To be updated.....
(Here are the last minute names rumored to be in: Fiorella Mannoia, Francesco Renga, Gigi D’Alessio, Marco Masini, Michele Zarrillo, Ron, Marco Carta, Chiara Galiazzo, Giusy Ferreri, Fabrizio Moro, Sergio Sylvestre, The Kolors, Elodie, Clementino, Baby K, Francesco Gabbani, Amara & Paolo Vallesi, Ermal Meta, Levante, Ludovica Comello, Bianca Atzei, Alice Paba & Nesli. Let's see how many of them are true .-) )So, Marco Carta has been left out once again, while Albano will celebrate his 50th anniversary of his first hit in Sanremo. Hopefully he fully recovers from last week's heart attacks in time! Michele Bravi came out of the blue and Bianca Atzei is there once again and we all wonder why?! As is Alessio Bernabei. Where's Deborah Iurato?

Here are the Newcomer semifinalists (chosen out of 561 submissions). Six of them will qualify for the Newcomers section in the next festival. In theory also these are possible Eurovision entries should the eventual Big winner decline the possibility (just like Stadio this year)
The five member jury votes for the one they want to eliminate out of one of three. Very brutal,
The second match ended in tie so Massimo Ranieri who had voted Lele out had to decide and sent home La Rua. Drama. Tears. A promise from Carlo Conti to see if he can do something for them. Like having their song as Sanremo 2017 jingle. More tears and hard critic for Valeria in third match.

These are the AreaSanremo finalists (chosen out of 414). Two have been chosen for the festival by another expert jury:
