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).

 

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.

Simply put, Sanremo is Sanremo; it's too important for us Italians :0 I know people who take time off work, jokingly calling it "holy week" on social media. Even politics talks about Sanremo and brings controversies to parliament. I think it's simply a matter of tradition

No, it is great, but too long.

Annalisa should have won in my opinion.

It's a great tradition, just make the shows shorter.  A 4-hour evenings from 8-12 PM is perfectly possible. Every year there 6-7 songs, that are just filler. Have 22 songs and everything will be smoother.

In reality, the length isn't a big issue, at least not felt here in Italy. A lot of time is indeed dedicated to guests and similar things. Even on evenings with only 15 singers, the show ends around 1:30. And then there's the 45-minute after-show

Since after Sanremo, we never lack anything (currently having controversies over the voting system and strong political debates as an artist on stage called for a halt to the genocide), Geolier returned to Naples asking to be booed because 'he was booed.' Italy is indeed a surreal country.

Luna will represent  in Malmo. It's not choice which I expected from our internal commission, but it's still better than Blanka last year
