After the list of those who made it to the festival the media is announcing the ones who didn't make it this time around, among them Eurovision veterans Jalisse who were not taken for the 26th year in a row! Now that's a record to beat. But they are not alone. The list of excluded ones includes names like Mietta, Paola Turci, Syria, Dolcenera and Marcella Bella, for the zillionth time. But also names like Elettra Lamborghini, Francesca Michielin, Michele Bravi, Annalisa and Eurovision veterans Francesco Gabbani, Raf, Fausto Leali, Ricchi e Poveri, Alan Sorrenti and Albano. Add names like Eiffel 65, that would have filled the nostalgy slot nicely.
Without further notes here's the list combined from various sources of names that didn't make it this year:
Alan Sorrenti, Albano, Alex Wyse, Andrea Sannino, Annalisa, Antonino, Auroro Boreolo, Baby K, Beba, Bresh, Bugo, Chadia Rodriguez, Clementino, Daniele Silvestri, Ditonellapiaga, Dolcenera, Drusilla Foer, Eiffel 65, Elettra Lamborghini, Eugenio in Via di Gioia, Fast Animals and Slow Kids, Fausto Leali, Francesca Michielin, Francesco Gabbani, Il Pagante, Jack Savoretti, Jalisse, Luigi Strangis, Malika Ayane, Marcella Bella, Marco Guazzone, Maria Antonietta, Matteo Bocelli, Matteo Romano, Michele Bravi, Mietta, Myss Keta, Nomadi, Paola Turci, Raf, Ricchi e Poveri, Sangiovanni, Shade, Sergio Sylvestre, Silvia Salemi, Simona Molinari, Sissi, Syria, The Kolors, Tiromancino,... That's only about 50 of those hundreds who submitted their entry/entries to Amadeus to be chosen.
And yes, I just love how the artists themselves find out they have been chosen the moment Amadeus read out their name in the tv-news like all us common mortals, as you can see in their reactions on social media!
Update: Also Paolo Vallesi and Eduardo Vianello didn't make it while Baby K, Mietta, Malika Ayane have declared they didn't send a song, as did Sabrina Salermo who's not on the list above.
