SANREMO 2022: TERZA SERATA WITH ALL THE SONGS - WHILE BRIVIDI HITS GLOBAL TOP-5


Sanremo's incredible success continues even without Fiorello as it hits the highest second night score since 2005 with 55,8% or 11,3 million viewers, all time high with a peak of 16,2 million and it's also the first time the second night beats the first night! The figures include 72% among those of 15-24 year old so they will surely mess up the ranking with televoting.
Tonight enter the demoscopic jury (50%) and televote (50%) and be ready for the ranking to have a major changes by some artists for sure. The young people are up and watching this year more than ever! RaiPlay had more than one million viewers (up 50% from last year but then again they lifted the geoblock this year), on demand grew 60% and with over 6 million interactions on social media last night was the most commented second night ever.
Another interesting piece of news is Brividi has almost 3,3 million streams in Italy along that pushes it to Spotify's Global Top-5! That clearly means it is already #1 hit in Italy. That is also the highest debut ever for an Italian artist in number of streams. 
Tonight Amadeus has Drusilla Foer at his side. She is an alter ego of actor and photographer  Gianluca Gori; a noble woman, singer, actress, writer and all around artist from Florence.
Tonight's guests are writer Roberto Saviano, singer Cesare Cremonini, actress Anna Valle doing promo for another Rai fiction, carabiniere Martina Pigliapoco while Orietta Berti and Rovazzi will host Gaia in their love boat.

Tonight's running order - all 25 will perform voted by demoscopic and televote (50/50): 

Giusy Ferreri - Miele
How come she looked so sad or bored tonight?
Highsnob & Hu - Abbi cura di te
I'm warming up to this. A bit. 
Fabrizio Moro - Sei tu
Solid and handsome.
Aka7even - Perfetta cosi
So far all in black and a bit of white but here he comes again in colors. Tonight pink and white. 
Perfect that way. And he's giving it all tonight. And deserves a huge applause from Ariston.
Massimo Ranieri - Lettera al di lá del mare
A moment to daydream and sway with the music.....
Dargen D'Amico - Dove si balla
Well now, that's a busy wardrobe. My eyes! I kinda wanted to dislike this with passion but it's ... quite nice. Not one for the win or for Eurovision if you ask me, but a nice addition to the line up.
By now it's evident that even the artists are more relaxed tonight compared to the first performance.
He's back to black after wearing granny's laced table cloth the first time. The lyrics are a good repeat of some Italian verbs grammar lessons. A grower. 
Ditonellapiaga & Rettore - Chimica
It's a question of chemistry. Indeed. Fun. And a crazy veteran and a young talent.
Michele Bravi - Inverno dei fiori
Last time he asked to stay away from his diary of errors, a wonderful text. Now he asks to teach how to learn to be happy. Touching. I have a soft spot for him.  
Rkomi - Insuperabile
Thank goodness he got rid of that jacket! And that's about all there is to tell positive.
Mahmood & Blanco - Brividi
OMG did they just top their first performance? Very intense yet goofy and youthful. Real. 
Gianni Morandi - Apri tutte le porte
I guess this is heading to top-5, even top-3....  This has also played in my head today, nothing I can do about it....
My am I thinking of some unidentifued Pet Shop Boys song?! The melody. But that's about the only thing I like .....
Elisa continues in white, juts like when she did in 2001 with Luce (a missed Eurovision winner IMHO). I'm torn between this and Mahmood/Blanco as the winner and Eurovision. Maybe MB win and Elisa second and let her do Torino? Hmmm.... Or the other way round?
La Rappresentante di lista - Ciao ciao
I have a sort of love/hate situation going on with this song. I didn't want to like them, and I kinda still don't but this has been playing in my head all day. A new look again, this time full early 80's pink/black compo, like Carola winning Melfest 1983.....
Iva Zanicchi - Voglio amarti
Like I said before this sounds like a true classic from her past, fits perfectly into her greatest hits album and no one thinks it's a new song. But then again, this is a very old song dusted off only now for the occasion. And I'm not ashamed to say I really like this :-) More relaxed and composed performance from her, too. After standing ovation the first night she said she already got all she wanted and could just go home happy. And no, she wouldn't do Eurovision again should she win.
Achille Lauro - Domenica
Achille found a jacket for tonight and the Harlem mamas are all in black tonight. A lot of cheaky posing and almost strip tease in the end. Clearly tongue in cheek just to piss some people off. Why do I like this so much?
Matteo Romano - Virale
Can't help but think how this would be sung by Mahmood, some vocals seem to recall his way of singing, but Matteo hasn't got a voice like that. Job well done though. And again much better than the first performance.
Ana Mena - Duecentonila ora
She really isn't the greatest live vocalist, especially at the beginning,  the first night wasn't exception. I can't help but thinking likes of Orietta Berti belting this one out...... 
Sangiovanni - Farfalle
Like Aka7even he's wearing a pink suit. Pink is back! The weak point of the song and performance is Sangiovanni, kinda like the beat, melody and especially the arrangement... But also he does better than the first performance. 
Very convincing, more composed performance. Top-5 in sight?
Yuman - Ora e qui
Not much to say this time, sways away slowly without trace.....
Le Vibrazioni - Tantissimo
I may have been a bit too harsh with first hearing. This is quite nice, quite like The Rasmus in UMK. back to past leaving with a question Is this good today? Better performance however than the first one by far. 
Giovanni Truppi - Tuo padre, mia madre, Lucia
This needs some concentration but when you jump into the song you are hooked.
I really like the verses but the chorus and uptempo bits don't convince me that much in the end.... Shame, I had high hopes for this one!

And the ranking including the votes from the first three nights by both media (and how it was yesterday thanks to them)

1. (2.) Mahmood & Blanco

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?

SONGS OF THE YEAR 2015: #5 KRISTA SIEGFRIDS - ON & OFF

Krista Siegfrids is delivering nice pop tunes one after another and this one is particularly catchy and soon you will be singing along..... Hopefully her Melodifestivalen entry will be equally good!

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 .

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..... )

CAROLA'S BOOBS STEAL THE SHOW, SVT APOLOGIES

Update! Another thing got Swedes talking last night: Carola's boobs when she was giving away an award. This is not the first time her boombs cause headlines; her misfortunate adventures in the 80's in Japan wer explained with her boobs being too big for Japanese market. Ok.... Or was it the song ? Anyways, Carola apologies and says she thinks the dress is stylish and elegant (even her friends said so) and she's a mature woman in her 40s, not a 16-year-old girl and looks like one. The Swedish Oscars, Guldbagge awards were given out last night. Carola was there as a guest star to sing Barbra Streisand's The way we were when honoring the movie stars who passed away during 2012. However, the cameras were too much on Carola, not on the stars showed in photos in the background and that upset many viewers as that part of the show was to celebrate them, not Carola. Oh well...  The producer of the show tells in Aftonbladet the part of the show was made the sam

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?

JEDWARD GETS NAKED FOR THE FANS

Well, almost. The boys celebrated their 650.000th follower on Twitter by being photographed fresh from shower as promised. It's not the first time they drop their clothes as you see here . Meanwhile their second album is nearly here and the title track Young love is hitting the charts....

GREECE: HELENA PAPARIZOU HITS AGAIN WITH HAIDE

Eurovision song contest 2005 winner Helena Paparizou has been enjoying Top-5 hits every year since 2003 with the exception of 2010 and 2014, this latest one being already her 27th! And Haide is charting also in Bulgaria and Finland, of all places. The catchiness of her hits has changed less over the years than her face....  Here's the English version , below the Greek version. 

ITALY: ALICE 70 - PER ELISA

Alice's second Sanremo. No longer Alice Visconti, nor Carla Bissi but simply Alice. A song written by Alice herself with Franco Battiato and Giusto Pio. An usual song lacking a proper refrain, performed in an aggressive way by fierce looking Alice with wild hair. It was a real breakthrough. If the trio's first offering the year before for Italian hit waves was a hit this became a mega hit and international success that made her known not only in Italy but abroad as well. Such a shame Italy didn't participate in Eurovision that year (but her time would come) but then again, most likely they wouldn't have had sent Sanremo winner anyways. Number one hit in Italy, Top-5 in Austria and Switzerland, Top-20 in Germany.  The song featured in her 4th album simply titled Alice, that was published abroad as Per Elisa with different styling. A new version of the song is included in Personal Jukebox album. Per Elisa Vuoi vedere che perderai anche me Per Elisa Non sai più distinguere

ITALY: ALICE 70 - NATA IERI

  Alice - Nata ieri In 2012 Alice released her first studio album with new original songs in 14(fourteen!!!) years, Samsara . Among them a song Franco Battiato had written especially for her (Eri con me), a first since 1982!, a couple from Tiziano Ferro including this Nata ieri. The album included also three covers from Lucio Dalla, Giuni Russo and Califfi. Her fans had been waiting for this album and it entered the Italian charts straight at number 10.  Se la vita è migliorata dopo ogni ferita, è grazie a te. Tra le grigie ceneri dei giorni neri, lì sono nata ieri. If life has improved after every wound, it is thanks to you. Among the gray ashes of the dark days, there I was born yesterday.
