ITALY: SANREMO 2023 ARTISTS REVEALED - WITH SURPRISES AND BIG NAMES


Amadeus did it again. He surprised us with the news that not 2 or 3 but six (6) artists from Newcomers Sanremo Giovani will join the Big at Sanremo 2023 festival next February. He also surprised by actually bringing the big guns many thought pretty impossible, namely Marco Mengoni and Giorgia. He also brought Articolo 31 and Mr.Rain, both famous for stating they would never ever take part in Sanremo and here they are. As are I Cugini di Campagna debuting at the festival, a band that was the soundtrack of Italy in the 1970's with their sound and countless hits. He also brought in the comeback by Paola & Chiara. He brought back Anna Oxa, famously in fight with Rai for years. Add Ultimo, the sour loser to Mahmood in 2019, Tananai who came last year and is the only artist from last year's edition! I mean, you can't make these things up

So in sort we have three winners: Giorgia (1995 when she would have a run for their money to Secret Garden had Italy participated), Marco Mengoni (2013 and 7th at ESC) and Anna Oxa (1989 with Fausto Leali and 9th at ESC, and solo 1999. This is her 15th participation. Paola & Chiára (1997), Ultimo (2018) and Leo Gassman (2020) are Giovani winners .

Debutants are Ariete, Articolo 31, I Cugini di Campagna, Lazza, LDA, Mara Sattei, Mr.Rain, Rosa Chemical and Leo Gassman among Big.

As said Tananai is the only artist from 2022 but from 2021 we have Colapesce Dimartino, Coma_Cose and Madame, From 2020 Levante and Elodie, from 2019 Ultimo. Giorgia last participated in 2001 (and she has placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd in her three Big participations!), Paola & Chiara 2005, Anna Oxa 2011, Modà and Marco Mengoni 2013, Gianluca Grignani 2015, 

The song titles will be announced on December 16 during Sanremo Giovani final, where from six artist will join the cast. Below are their entries for the Giovani final, but each and everyone has already a new song prepared for the real thing should they get that far.

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?

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?

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.
