My favorites were Annalisa with LRDL and Ricchi e Poveri with Paola & Chiara.

Honorable mentions to Alessandra Amoroso and Big Mama, Rose Villain and The Kolors.

I can't believe RAI doesn't make the live versions -with the orchestral arrangements, that is- available anywhere but in the actual video of the night. Some songs change substantially and am sure they would sell well if we had any legal way to keep them.

​

Btw this year cover night was simply glorious. I understand it's about royalties and rights but it sucks so much that you can only stream them on Rai Play, not even YouTube, and only for a limited, undisclosed period of time.

It seems that the Sanremo playlist on Spotify is currently extremely popular.

But those are the commercial recordings, not the live performances that make Sanremo so great

Here's a reminder that you could be listening to the live version instead - RAI Radio 2 has playlists for every day here:

Congrats to the team Spaghetti Mafia on winning the subreddit Fantasanremo league! Enjoy your bragging rights for the year! I'll put up a more detailed analysis of our league later

Felt the need to put this to words as a Neapolitan-American as so many people just don’t get why people like myself are so furious in this moment.

It’s the idea that Geolier could have had the voice of Bocelli and the songwriting of Jovanotti and would have lost anyway, not because of what he sang but because of who he is.

Simply put, Geolier represents a kind of Neapolitan that the pearl clutching sala stampa just doesn’t like and will never like - not the first time, see how Rocco Hunt and Clementino were treated in previous years - but this year it was just so blatant - journalists asking the kid about his ties to organized crime, asking if he stole votes from Mango (a literal Nepo Baby), asking why he’s choosing to sing in Neapolitan instead of changing to suit their tastes. And let’s not forget the booing - I cannot remember a Sanremo festival where both audience and jury BOOED a singer (except for Blanco but that was warranted).

But the cherry is the voting - how does a singer who receives 60% of the home vote receive only 1% of the critics’ vote? Do you get how statistically unlikely that is? Viceversa, how does a singer who only 16% of the home vote manage to get 75% of critics on her side unless it was to deny a Geolier win?

My feeling is that the critics felt so outraged that Geolier won the cover night that they intentionally voted in a way to deny him a win - through a combination of “we can’t send this kid to Eurovision”, “he’s not even singing in Italian”, “we all knew Angelina’s dad”, and good ol’fashioned “Neapolitans should stick to Mare Fuori” attitudes. The videos that leaked from the critics and journalists room speak for themselves.

Congrats Sanremo you reached American electoral college levels of voting dysfunction

I stumbled upon Sanremo thanks to a friend in 2020, and listened to some of the competing songs. "Ringo Starr" stood out as a total jam, and the orchestration really elevated it.

I also post this because it's Amadeus' last rodeo as the artistic director of Sanremo, so I just wanted to say thank you!

I’m so happy for her!!!

Such a gorgeous song with beautiful verses and then the ‘click boom’ chorus part absolutely ruins the song for me 🥲 anyone else feel the same?

Never thought to look on Reddit before, but does anyone know how we can watch the performances from past years more than just the 1-minute clips on YouTube? All I really want is Olly’s Polvere and covers night performances from last year.

Does anyone know how much longer the final will go on? It's 2a.m. already and I'm wondering if it's gonna wrap up until 3 😅

Do you know the model of the jacket microphone Anadeus is using?

hiii i haven't been watching sanremo so far and i just wanted to know what the creature in ghali's performance is. what is it, what it's story is etc.

Hello, Here the outline (scaletta) of tonight evening https://www.sportface.it/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/SCALETTA-DEF-5a-Sanremo2024_page-0001.jpg

Here to comment the finale of Sanremo 2024!

Does anyone know what necklace was Sofia Ricci wearing last night?

I am watching the festival since Tuesday and I noticed they often show a young boy/man in the audience. Who is he?

Here to discuss the Duets night!

Enjoy, have fun and get your coffee ready! ❤️

Hi everyone, I'm here to suggest an italian IG page that analizes in a cool manner the songs in the festival. The name is pulpmagazineitalia
