Luca Barbarossa presented the last six artists and entries for Sanremo Giovani with some more small talk and live performances. Tonight things get serious as the first final takes place and out of 12 artists one gets the ticket to Sanremo 2019. Some familiar names in tonight's hopefuls...

La Rua started with their
Alla mia età si vola. Two years ago they didn't make it the festival among Newcomers creating a major holabaloo. That makes them frontrunners this time around but sadly their song isn't as strong as
Tutta La Vita Questa Vita back then. They are however seasoned performers and have a fanbase so let's see how it goes this time. I'm not that impressed really.
Cordio from Catania, Sicily is another pre-contest favorite and his
La nostra vita is a solid, good song he sings with emotion and gives a very credible performance. One of the best of 24 for sure. But is it enough?
Nyvinne, born in Luxemburg, is also back for another try with her
Io ti penso. She was presented as multi-instrumentalist and showcased some credible beat boxing talent before singing her ballad and after all that it was such a let down. Yawn.... She was better the first time around last year.
Saita next with his song
Niwrad that is actually Darwin backwards. He's from Zurich and his song is interesting and well performed despite the shakiness in his vocals that seemed due nervousness.
Federico Angelucci got in because Laura Ciriaco was disqualified. He's a household name after winning
Tale e Quale Show just weeks ago. He hits some very high notes in
L'uomo che verrà and at times his voice and style reminds me of Scialpi in his height of stardom many, many years ago.
Mahmood is also back after placing already 4th among Newcomers 2016 behind Francesco Gabbani and Ermal Meta. He hopes to have better luck this time I suppose! His song
Gioventù bruciata and voice are very original in a way love it or hate it. I love it. But sadly also his previous entry was a bit better ....
