Luca Barbarossa was back in studio tonight with another six Sanremo Giovani entrants and their songs (check out the previous ones here and here). The songs aren't but the artists are possible Eurovision 2019 entrants in theory. Tomorrow the last six, and then later tomorrow night the first final night that will give us the first Sanremo 2019 artist....
Marte (or Marta) Marasco kicked off the show with her Nella mia testa. She performs her song with gusto and giggles in a miniskirt that's a tad too short, it's funny and relaxed and reminds a bit the very early Arisa and children's songs. She even sings her song is stupid and it is, but in a right way. This could go all the way to Ariston, or be kicked out before weekend....
Deschema next, a band from Siena (that is clearly hard in their Tuscan accent) that exists since 2016. Cristallo is their song. Rather standard pop rock entry. In from one ear, out from another.....
Diego Conti follows with his 3 gradi. It apparently tells about a hot encounter outside when it was only 3 degrees... Ok... The song is rather interesting but not so sure about his vocals. He surely gave it his all and it seemed at times he was actually reliving that encounter on stage with his grunts and sights....
Giulia Mutti next with her Almeno tre. The initial beat takes your attention at once, she's got a great voice, she performs flawlessly in a very convincing way and the song's catchy. Best so far tonight, and one of the best of these three nights. If not the best yet. Perfect package.
Next comes Wepro and his Stop/Replay. He looks like ... err... a mix of 80's punk rocker and hipster. singing some sort of EDM light nonsense. And yeah, yeah, yeah he might just think he's bit too cool, too. The song has eleectronic beat but that's just about it. I would frankly just press Stop and not replay again....
Le Ore next. A male duo a la The Hours, Pet Shop Boys.... La mia felpa é come me could become an anthem and they could become huge if everyhting goes right. Or then they just don't connct with Italian voters and vanish after weekend. Time will tell. Refreshingly different for Sanremo, more out of any other nation's Eurovision selections.
