EUROVISION 2024: THE TURQUOISE CARPET FLOP - WHAT'S GOING ON IN MALMÖ?

Oh what a let down. Something is going on in Malmö 2024 Eurovision and I'm not sure we can blame it all on Israel. Not only have the rehearsals been more blinded than ever (then again, I'm all for closed doors rehearsals mind you), a big percentage of volunteers declining to come to work after all, the Eurovision street pretty much cancelled due to artists pulling out and so far the images from Eurovision Village have been sadly amusing in their emptiness and nothingness! I tried to watch the stream later. I ended up jumping ahead having a peak here and there and indeed it was useless nonsense. Where was fun? Glamour? Show? It was not Eurovision, it was like interviewing some reality tv wannabes before they kick off for some random reality adventure. Boring.  And now the much awaited Turquoise carpet. Blame the weather but what an earth was that? After the grandeur of Torino and Liverpool that was.... nothing. No fans allowed anywhere near, and the interviews conducted in an an...

#SANREMO 2014: SONGS INVADE iTUNES DESPITE THE LOWEST VIEWING FIGURES IN HISTORY

The final of Sanremo festival was watched by fewer people than ever in the history of Auditel or since 1987. "Only" an average of 9.348.000 people turned in. A far cry if compared to last year for example when it was 12.997.000. With the same hosts and team behind it. Sanremo is Italy's Melodifestivalen only that MF drags on for 6 weeks, Sanremo 5 days. Both have faced serious problems this year.... time for a change for both? But happier news in iTunes. Today around midday Arisa is in the lead followed by Francesco Renga at no 2, then Rocco Hunt at no 3, Noemi no 5, Giusy Ferreri no 11, Perturbazione no 16, Sinigallia no 18, Gualazzi no 22, Frankie Hi-Nrg Mc no 24, Renzo Rubino no 25, Zibba no 27.... 16 other songs have made the top-200 so far... Time will tell who stay and climbs, who drops and vanishes.  The only official compilation album will be out Tuesday with TV Sorrisi e Canzoni-magazine and includes only the final songs of the Big + all the Newc...

#SANREMO 2014 TERZA SERATA - WHAT TO EXPECT? MEANWHILE SANREMO TURNS INTO AN AUDIENCE FLOP

Sanremo continues and even last night the program went well over its secheduled time pushing over four hours, and the TV-audience goes to bed. The media is screaming FLOP as only 8,9 million (33,52%) turned into to watch, compared to last year's 12,5! For the second part of the show, when for example the newcomers finally got on stage it's even worse, less than 3,8 million compared to last year's 6,6 million..... I have a feeling Fazio-Littizzetto won't be hosting third year in a row, which is a shame as I kinda like their style.... There's also accusation of Frankie borrowing a bit too buch from Tenor Saw's Golden hen in his Pedala ... In social medias there seems to be war against Giuliano Palma: He seems to be doing covers of Nina Zilli songs. Indeed, they are in perfect Zilli-style and one even written by her.... Also, the choice to wear sunglasses wasn't kindly taken by people giving way to endless jokes.... Tonight the 14 Big will perform again t...
