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.

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

And some songs I would have loved to see picked:

 

 

 

 

 

 (though the singer is Norwegian the rest of the band is German)

 

 

 

 

 

 (though it's a cover of another Swedish artist)

 

 

 

 (could have picked several others)

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
