Achille Lauro will be performing a number as every night and the other guests are last year's winner Diodato singing his Fai rumore again, Loredana Berté presenting her new single and a medley of her biggest hits, nurse Alessia Bonari, known for her social media working with Covid-19 patients and on top of all that Banda Musicale della Polizia di Stato with Olga Sakharova and Stefano Di Battista.
A half of the 26 Big will premiere their songs tonight and be voted by the demoscopic jury. The ranking will be revealed in the end of the day.
Half of the Newcomers will also perform tonight and two out of four will make it to the final, voted by demoscopic jury (33%), press (33%) and televote (34%). No more duels but the first two in the ranking will make it.
Irama was supposed to be performing tonight but due to positive Covid-19 test in his entourage he is replaced tonight by Noemi and is due to perform tomorrow if tests negative.
Arisa will open the competition, just like she did in 2014 when she won.....
Fun starts 20.40 CET and is supposed to end 01.30 but we all know it's not going to happen ....
LIVE:
The evening started with the Newcomers selection and for a change I totally agree with the results:
Newcomers
Gaudiano - Polvere da sparo *****
Elena Faggi - Che ne so **
Avincola - Goal! ***
Folcast - Scopriti ****
Gaudiano and Folcast to Friday's final!
Amadeus and Fiorello open the Big part of the show with a cabaret number, followed by overjoyed Diodato performing again his winning song from last year.
Big
Arisa - Potevi fare di più ***
Colapesce e Dimartino - Musica leggerissima ****
Aiello - Ora ***
Francesca Michielin e Fedez - Chiamami per nome ****
Max Gazzé e la Trifluoperazina Monstery Band - Il farmacista ***
Noemi - Glicine ****
Madame - Voce ***
Måneskin - Zitti e buoni **
Ghemon - Momento perfetto **
Coma_Cose - Fiamme negli occhi **
Annalisa - Dieci ****
Francesco Renga - Quando trovo te ***
Fasma - Parlami ***
And in the end Annalisa won the first night followed by Noemi and Fasma:
Summa summarum: A bit under toned show without stand out songs but Fiorello & Amadeus a couple that entertains even without the interaction with the live audience. Matilda shines, Zlatan not so much having only one joke that dragged way too long. On the other hand he has dragged it all his life, so I doubt it's going to change over the next few nights. Bertè was on fire and Diodato did a good job. Musta have been the first time I went to sleep after an hour or so and only checked the rest on Rai Play today, simply because I wasn't kept hooked on as usual. 11,2 million Italians were watching or (46,4%) that is down from last year's figures.
Irama, who was supposed to perform tonight (replaced by Noemi) and postponed to tomorrow is in danger of disqualification due to a positive Covid-19 test in his entourage according rules.
