ITALY: SANREMO 2025 - 11,7 MILLION FOR THE SECOND NIGHT

 


The success continues as the second night scores a share of 64,5% or 11.700.000 viewers. That's best since 1995 for the second night's share and best since 2000 for the number of viewers.

The night's top-5 ranking is basically the same as the first night as Achille Lauro, Lucio Corsi, Giorgia and Simone Cristicchi all made it with entrance of Fedez - First night's Brunori Sas will re-perform tonight. If he enters the Top-5 - most likely with Olly, Tony Effe and Irama but who will be the fifth one?!


Damiano David made his return to Teatro Ariston singing first Lucio Dalla and then his own hit Born with a broken heart. Co-hostess Bianca Balti was all giggles all evening and very funny and spontaneus and genuinely having the time of her life next to Carlo Conti, always funny Nino Frassica and eccentric Malgiglio. 

The Newcomers "semi-final" was taken care off in the beginning of the evening. They could have done a bit better for them but better than nothing. The Big performed all better than the first night, more relaxed and better dressed, too, in my opinion. Alex Wyse will win tonight over Settembre.

Today's hot topic is that Amadeus didn't accept Simone Cristicchi's song the past five years and now it's probably winning the festival and making half of Italy crying every time he performs it. I say perform as he doesn't sing it, it's a recital of a poem more than a song. So, maybe that's why Amadeus didn't accept it? And yes, I'm not a fan. Hearing it once or twice is ok but then let's move on. The text, the poem, is important and touching and all but ... No. 

Update for streaming:

In Spotify the Sanremo 2025 songs take all the Top-10 in order:
1. Olly (2.069.611) , 2.Fedez, 3. Tony Effe, 4. Giorgia, 5. Rose Villain, 6. Achille Lauro, 7. Elodie, 8. Bresh, 9. Shablo & co and 10. Irama.

In global Spotify six Sanremo 2025 songs made it:
61. Olly (2.190.547), 77. Fedez (1.046.370), 119. Tony Effe (1.608.934), 164. Giorgia (1.359.383), 171. Rose Villain (1.221.758) and 172. Achille Lauro (1.326.888)

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..... )

ESC 2015 SERBIA: BOJANA GOES POLYGLOT AND RELEASES A NEW VIDEO AND REMIX

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...

EUROVISION 2025 REVIEWS: NETHERLANDS, LUXEMBURG, IRELAND AND NORWAY

It's time to kick of the usual reviews. The opinions are all mine and if I don't like some song it's simply just not my cup of tea so to speak. If I like something you dislike or hate, it's fine, too. No stresso, no need to be depresso it's just music and tastes that re diverse and therefor beautiful!  I also try to predict their success come May a little bit but as we know once the staging is out everything may change, remember Fuego and Rise like a phoenix for example? For this series I have grouped the songs in fours as usual as the songs may have similarities or something in common. Some fours came out beautifully, the others.... well not so well. Here comes the second part. NETHERLANDS - Claude - C'est la vie I was very happy when Claude was announced, and I do like his song a lot. The mix of languages works very well, at least for someone who speaks both English and French so it all blends together without effort. All this said I am quite surprised this is...

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?
