ITALY: SANREMO 2021 - SECONDA SERATA

 

A new day in Sanremo, or rather night, after yesterday's start that was in my opinion a bit slow and underwhelming what comes to the songs and the overall experience and it all can't be put on the absence of the live public. Tonight continues with the same formula as last night: first four Newcomers battle out the two places in Friday's final, and then the remaining 13 Big present their songs.
Or is could be 12: Due to the positive Covid-19 cases in Irama's entourage he is not allowed to perform live according the strict rules. Amadeus is trying to find a solution by using a rehearsal tape instead if Irama and all the other artists agree. We will find out later tonight.
Missing tonight also Zlatan as he's got a game today to play....
Elodie will be tonight's co-hostess and there will be a string of other guests: Eurovision royalty Gigliola Cinquetti, Fausto Leali and Il Volo (in doubt though due to sudden death of Ignozio's father), fresh Golden Globe winner Laura Pausini, Marcella Bella, Negramaro, Gigi D'Alessio, footballer Christiana Girelli, Olympic champion runner Alex Schwazer. Achille Lauro will perform with Claudio Santamaria and Francesca Barra.


LIVE

The evening starts with another Fiorello's semi imitation of Achille Lauro.....
Tonight I really don't have a favorite among the Newcomers, the best ones for me got to the final last night. But I did have a slight preference to Wrongonyou and he qualified, as did Davide Shorty, the male Valentina Monetta. The real jazz Valentina. 

Newcomers

Wrongonyou - Lezioni di volo ***
Greta Zuccoli - Ogni cosa sa di te ***
Davide Shorty - Regina ***
Dellai - Io sono Luca **

Big

Orietta Berti - Quando ti sei innamorato ****
Bugo - E invece si **

Golden Globe winner Laura Pausini with Io si. 
She just cemented every other act. A Star.

Gaia - Cuore amaro ***
Lo Stato Sociale - Combat pop *

Tribute to late Ennio Morricone
with Il Volo, who also announce their new recording project: Morricone

La Rappresentante di Lista - Amare **
Malika Ayane - Ti piaci cosi ****

Wow! Now that was something else! How many songs did you pick?
(Guaranà, Vogue, Battito animale, Nero Bali, Could you be loved, Englishman in New York , E la Luna bussò, Margarita, Fotoromanza, Easy lady, Rumore, Andromeda, Crazy in love, Soldi)

Time for evergreens with Gigliola Cinquetti, Fausto Leali and Marcella Bella

Extraliscio feat. Davide Toffolo - Bianca luce nera *

Yet another guest: Gigi D'Alessio and a string of Napoletan rappers
(He has written Arisa's song btw)

Tonight with my favorite Lauro hit, Bam bam twist. One of my most listened songs in 2020.

Random - Torno a te *
Fulminacci - Santa Marinella ***
Willie Peyote - Mai dire mai (La locura) **

Fiorello and Elodie perform Vattene amore by Mietta & Amedeo Minghi, 3rd in Sanremo 1990 because.... why not? An evergreen. Du du du....

Gio Evan - Arnica **
Irama - La genesi del tuo colore (via rehearsal video) ****

Elody has been quite fantastic tonight hosting and performing and shows us yet another side of herself and a moment from her past.

And tonight's ranking:
1. Ermal Meta  2. Irama  3. Malika Ayane  4. Lo Stato Sociale  5. Willie Peyote  6. Gaia  7. Fulminacci  8. LRDL  9. Extraliscio  10. Gio Evan  11. Orietta Berti  12. Random  13. Bugo

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..... )

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?

Regina Lund - naked and censored

Regina Lund's new video Jag är osynlig was censored by Youtube only minutes after it had been uploaded. In the video she was playing a female Jesus who gets crusified in the end. "I was shocked!" she says. "There's nothing more naked in it as in every church! It's ok to have naked man hanging on the wall but my nakedness is too much on internet? ". Oh well, no comment. She's prepairing a new album Dare Regina Lund and we of course remember her from her Melodifestivalen 2007 adventure with Rainbow star .

SWEDEN: MEDS MAKES MÅNS ZELMERLÖW HARD AND NAKED

Earlier this year Måns Zelmerlöw invested some of his money into web pharmacy MEDS and now he's ready to bare it all for its advertising film, which is.... how to put it? The corniest thing I have seen for a long, long time perhaps? Supposed to be funny the way his Eurovision presenting stunts were I presume, but this falls somewhere between embarassing and uncool. Well, we get to admire some over acrting and a lot of naked Måns riding a horse and sporting a hard on at one point. Maybe that's enough to make MEDS a success.... Where's Edward af Sillen when you need him?

TIM SCHOU AND HIS NAKED GRAVITY

Tim Schou has a pretty good solo career going since he left his friends in London. He's travelling the world and relesing songs and videos. The latest one is a great track and comes with a steamy video that kinda takes away from the song really. But who's complaining. If you got it, flaunt it. Enjoy the video below. This post coming after the other Dane, Rasmus Seebach as wishlist for Eurovision. To think about it, Tim would do nicely, too. Maybe he should give it another go?
