Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

  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. Th...

The second Sanremo 2025 night will feature the Newcomers semifinals (or rather duels) and half of the Big will perform again. The Top-5 voted by the accredited press of the first night was Brunori Sas, Giorgia, Lucio Cordsi, Simone Cristicchi and Achille Lauro - in random order - pictured above. Tonight's co-hosts are supermodel Bianca Balti, celebrity personality Cristiano Malgioglio and actor/comedian Nino Frassica.  Update: Ma Bianca Balti è Michele Hunziger in disguise? Guest acts are Damiano David of Eurovision winner Måneskin fame, Big Mama and cast of movie Follemente and a fiction serie on Rai, Belcanto .  The Newcomers are voted by all three groups: Press, TV and web (33%), Radio (333%) and televote (34%) The Big are voted by Radio (50%) and televote (50%). The Top-5 of the evening will be announced in random order and then the votes are added to the first night's votes.  Tonight's running order: Newcomers: Alex Wyse - Rockstar Vs.  Vale LP e Lil Jolie - D...

Tonight the show goes on. The other Big ten perform their song and they are voted by televote/press jury and we will discover the previsional top-6 and bottom-4. But there will be the first eliminations as well, among the Newcomers in direct duels. The show is expected to last again 3,5 hours. And then there's another hour of Dopofestival.... Last night over 550.000 tweets were sent with #Sanremo2016 and Arisa got the tweeters wils (maybe thanks to her look) Tonight's guest stars are Eros Ramazzotti, Ellie Goulding, Nino Frassica and Nicole Kidman Join me tonight again here 20.30 CET for some live blogging :-) 20.45 Here we go again! 20.50 And we start away with the first Newcomers duel, the female one. Newcomers Duels: Chiara Dello Iacovo - Introverso Vs Cecile - N.e.g.r.a Chiara does a good job with her song. She gives a relaxed and confident performance against a very colorful backdrop. Well done. Cecile brings some antiracism to Ariston. Dramatic ...
