Amadeus keeps delivering: Last night's share was 54,1% aka 9,36 million viewers and yes, again the best showing for the third night since 1997! Also Mahmood & Blanco keep brreaking records and took over again the first place in the ranking when the scores from the first three nights were combined dropping Elisa to the second place. Drusilla Foer was divine. Cesare Cremonini fantastic! His show made me once again think the Ariston's stage is heavily underused for staging when the competiiton is on. Laura Pausini's performance was great, Cremonini's stunning with the scenography and even pyros! Why don't they use it more for the artists, too?
That Cremonini made me think I must re-listen his catalogue as I have a bit forgotten about him, and also reminded me about the fact a long, long time ago when I was doing night portier in a three star hotel in Rome. A group of five teenagers showed up and wanted the cheapest room so they could just rest a bit and hang around until they have their very first television gig in some local station very late at night. Five funny kids, still unknown but big dreams. Soon after that 50 Special exploded, they made it huge and today the lead singer of Lúnapop or Cesare is a major star. Good times.
But tonight it's all about covers that insanily accumulate to the final result. That made propably Colapesce Dimartino lose their place in the podium last year, for example, where as Marco Mengoni cemented his victory. That also means a stellar guest list, many of those who didn't make it to the festival as competing acts get on stage from the backdoor.
Maria Cgiara Giannetti is next to Amadeus as the presenter, Lino Guanciale is there to promo another Rai fiction, and Orietta and Rovazzi host Pinguini Tatici Nucleari in their love boat.
