Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Amadeus keeps delivering: Last night's share was 54,1% aka 9,36 million viewers and yes, again the best showing for the third night since 1997! Also Mahmood & Blanco keep brreaking records and took over again the first place in the ranking when the scores from the first three nights were combined dropping Elisa to the second place. Drusilla Foer was divine. Cesare Cremonini fantastic! His show made me once again think the Ariston's stage is heavily underused for staging when the competiiton is on. Laura Pausini's performance was great, Cremonini's stunning with the scenography and even pyros! Why don't they use it more for the artists, too?  That Cremonini made me think I must re-listen his catalogue as I have a bit forgotten about him, and also reminded me about the fact a long, long time ago when I was doing night portier in a three star hotel in Rome. A group of five teenagers showed up and wanted the cheapest room so they could just rest a bit and hang aroun...

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...
