The 76th Sanremo festival continues and the remaining 15 Big artists will perform again and be judged by Radio (50%) and televote (50%). Once again the Top-5 will be announced in random order.
The Newcomers final will take place and the two winners of yesterday's duels will battle it out with the holy three way voting: Press, web and tv (33%), radio (33%) and televote (34%).
Co-host will be supermodel Irina Shayk and Ubaldo Pantani. There's also Virginia Raffaele and Fabio De Luigi.
Musical guests are Eros Ramazzotti (celebrating 40 years of his win with Adesso tu) with Alicia Keys. The Kolors will perform outside Teatro Ariston on Suzuki stage and Max Pezzali still on the cruise ship. Laura Pausini will sing Heal the world with children's choir Piccolo coro Antoniano.
Some are calling the viewing figures a flop but 9,053.000 watched the second night with a share of 59,5%. The peak was 13,706.000 and the share peak 66,1% while Lillo was doing his comedy. Laura Pausini did a great job the first night and even better the second and it looks like the hate towards her is vanishing little y little. A hate I cannot comprehend, one could call it cyber bulling as it has been ridiculous for some months already.
As for tonight Angelica should win the Newcomers and in fact she should be among the Big already and if she was she'd be my top favorite, or one of them at least. Arisa and Serena should make the Top-5 tonight if they wish to aim high in the final scoreboard but I suspect we will have Sal Da Vinci, Tredici Pietro and Sayf there for sure.
Nicolò.
Oh well, Angelica was fab. Already last year when she sadly didn't make it all the way to the festival. This year her song is maybe my favorite of them all and she's a talent with special voice. Nicolò... well pretty boy with autotune once again wins over female talent. Sic.
Enter Irina. Broken Italian. Ex di Ronaldo e Bradley Cooper is all I know. And that dress..... wtf?
