Next week (2-6 March) there  is Festival della Canzone Italiana di Sanremo  with 26 singers in the main competion and 8 in the Newcomers' section.

 

This year there is an unofficial fantasy game https://www.fantasanremo.com/

 

You have to pick 5 singer from the main competition using 100 baudi (from Pippo Baudo who hosted Sanremo 13 times) and you get points in various (and some crazy) ways for example you get points if the singer wins but also if he's drunk.

 

There is no prize and the rules are only in Italian but are quite simple.

Me after seeing the new TISC thread: "Okay, let's look up the Hungarian YT chart again"

 

#2 on the chart...

 

 

 

I am pretty sure it won't be the Hungarian submission, unless I drink a lot of vodka on the day of the Hungarian announcement :lol:

I’d never heard of this song before, but what a powerful, powerful song.

Here are the other 14 songs that made the final cut in the Irish selection battle. My favourite Irish song of 2020 is probably Run Through Walls by The Script which made the cut but I decided to give Dermot Kennedy a chance this time and glad I did in the end:

 

 

Song 1: Wild Youth - Champagne Butterflies

Song 2: JC Stewart - I Need You To Hate Me

Song 3: Fia Moon - Let This Go

Song 4: The Script - Run Through Walls

Song 5: Niall Horan - Still

Song 6: Robert Grace - Fake Fine

Song 7: True Tides - Break The Silence

Song 8: LYRA - New Day

Song 9: JC Stewart - Lying That You Love Me

Song 10: Picture This - Things Are Different

Song 11: Somebody's Child - Love That Sound

Song 12: Miles Graham - Give It Up Now

Song 13: Big Piig - Feels Right

Song 14: Niall Horan - Put A Little Love On Me

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
