Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Settembre has won the Newcomers final against Alex Wyse and thus follows the footsteps of likes of Eros Ramazzotti, Laura Pausini, Andrea Bocelli and Francesco Gabbani, just to name a few. In a close final he scores a total of 52,5%  of votes winning both Press and Radio jury but losing closely (49% vs. %1%) the televote won by Alex Wyse. Settembre also collected the Critic's award and the Press award. And average of 10.700.000 watched the third night with a share of 59.8% with a peak of 16 million watching at 21.32. In social medias the videoviews, whatever they mean, have been so far 63 million last night and 219 million since the beginning of the festival.  Andrea Settembre (24) from Naples. Already an idol for Generation Z He's a veteran of talent shows having participated in Io canto, The Voice of Italy and lately X Factor. He's very active also in Youtube and TikTok. At Spotify Sanremo 2025 songs all are in Top-38: Fedez at number one followed by Olly, Tony Effe, Gior...

The third night goes on as similar way as the second: first the Newcomer finalist will battle out the victory (it has been moved from Friday to Thursday) and then the rest of the Big will perform for the second time. Tonight's guest hosts are actress, hostess, model and Miss Italy 2008 Miriam Leone,  singer and media celebrity Elettra Lamborghini and comedian and hostess Katia Follesa. The guest acts are Eurovision veteran Ermal Meta and Sanremo veterans Duran Duran - for their 5th time! First time was 40 years ago and the last 17 years ago. They equal Take That with most visits as guest in the festival with this visit. Eurovision veteran Iva Zanicchi will receive a lifetime award. And Edoardo Bennato will open the show tonight. The voting is for the Newcomers aka Nuove proposte Press, TV and web (33%), Radio (33%) and televote (34%). For the Big it's Radio (50%) and televote (50%). The Top-5 of the evening will be announced in random order, and then the votes will be added to ...

Tonight the remaining 15 acts will perform, presented by those they presented and who performed last night. That is one wonderful idea and is apparently liked by everyone, the artists included! The voting tonight is just like last night, 50-50 for the radios-televote.  Comedian, actress, tv-host and author Teresa Mannio will be co-hosting so this sounds like a step back in time compared to those excellent fresh unusual choices of past two night, Marco Mengoni and Giorgia.  And yes, there's a long list of guests: Russell Crowe (unless he has escaped if he saw the Travolta treatment last night), Eros Ramazzotti celebrating 40 years of Terra promessa, artists Gianni Morandi, Stefano Massini with Paolo Jannacci, actors Sabrina Ferilli and Edoardo leo promoting their new fictions. Bresh will perform on the loveboat and Paola & Chiara on the outside stage as well.  Loredana Bertè : Il Tre - Fragili 6 Alfa : Maninni - Spettacolare 8 Fred De Palma : Bnkr44 - Governo punk 7...

  Paola & Chiara closed the second night and will open the third night so they make a good headline photo for today. Because it's all furore, a positive one in Sanremo as Amadeus tops himself again and scored the best audience for the 2nd night since 1995 as well: 10.545.000 viewers in avergae the whole show, with a share of 62,3% . RaiPlay has broken all the record reaching 1,700.000 viewers, +74% compared to last year! If Blanco caused chaos the first night on stage, last night it was Fedez from the cruise ship but let's concentrate on music. There was a lot of good music yesterday and tonight we will see and hear all the 28 songs again for a second judging, probably new looks and outfits and most likely someone who under performed before will shine bright, and the other way round. Because that's Sanremo. And new voters will make some major and many minor changes to the ranking. Tonight's co-hostess with Amadeus and Gianni Morandi will be Paola Egonu, a volley bal...
