Yesss :clap: :clap: Angelina Mango won the 74th Festival di Sanremo.

 

 

Geolier won the popular vote by 60% but he was DESTROYED from press and radio juries. Vamosss

This is hideous, Geolier bought almost all SIM cards for voting and flopped :hyper:

Angelina is a really strong choice, this is what I want to see from Italy more, it's giving Italian charm and charisma, and dance motives, so it's the perfect entry for Eurovision for me. Good luck at the ESC :wub:

Incredible numbers for the Sanremo final, reaching a 74% share (!!!). For comparison, the semi-final of the UEFA European Championship Italy-France had a 77% share.

 

Apparently, the Superfinal reached 80-85% share, staggering numbers comparable to World Cup football finals with Italy, wow.

Can someone explain what all this controversy is about Geolier ? Never heard of him before and find all the drama strange.

The main problem is that the song was terrible, truly terrible (aside from being in Neapolitan and not in Italian, the rules were ad-hoc changed for him). There have been many accusations that Geolier's fans bought SIM cards in mass to vote, but I find that quite unlikely.

 

Certainly, many Neapolitans believe the controversies are a matter of territorial racism, but it's absolutely false—I say this as a Campanian. Even Angelina Mango has verses in Neapolitan in her songs, and she's from Basilicata.

Sanremo is Sanremo; controversies and boos are normal. It has always happened and is part of the show. I recall an edition where the jury rebelled against Emanuele Filiberto, a member of the former Italian royal family, entering the final, even throwing the sheet music

Australia is European country, you didn't knew that? :d 

 

Why is Australia in the Eurovision Song Contest when it's 12,000 miles away?

I thought :NZL annexed Tasmania according to recent activity on Totallympics :p

The share data for the Sanremo super final have finally been released: over 10 million viewers at 2am, with a 91% share. Wow, not even the 2006 World Cup final had these numbers

I still don't understand this weekly hype, where you have festival nights in succesion, from 8.45 till almost 2 a.m. (on final night even longer).:facepalm::d

 

And then on Sunday two hour long morning talk show about San Remo, in the afternoon another show. It is just too much. 

 

Anyway, I like the winner a lot, it has quite a lot of energy, also Annalisa was not bad, was cheering also for Clara or maybe Rose Villain and for "una ragazza e un ragazzo".  

 

I am not surprised Mahmood was not in top 5, did not convince me.

    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
    • You prefer matches in USA , look at that ...    Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan to enter    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/10/tourists-social-media-trump
    • I would say - he did not share some part of "the profit" with someone from above )
    • Yeah, a complete failure all around. Only two individual quotas for men and two for women + mixed relay. Cortina looks like a big fat zero in the medal table tbh.
    • But yeah, as you said, their intention (if I have to guess) probably is to prevent Pan America from having 3 teams without going through the world oqt.  They were generous with the world cup qualification because it's in europe and with 16 teams but they won't be as much with their prime event.   Anyway, this doc is terribly written and could bring problems without an update.
    • IDK this seems like a big mistake on their part. They should have excluded Pan America from the first clause.    And also shoulda clarify if "highest placed" in the second statement means only champion or "highest placed not counting possible pro league qualified teams".
