L‘Eurovision 2022 will be remembered not only because after 31 years the event is back in Italy, but also for the fake homage to Raffaella Carrà in the first semifinal on Tuesday 10 May. The moment was highly anticipated by both Italians and foreign fans, but the lineup was so tight that it was unable to reserve the right space for the artist (disappeared July 5, 2021).
A few seconds of Fiesta to remember Raffaella
Raffaella Carrà is synonymous with an immense artist, an icon of television and music. Unfortunately, however, as often happens, it is easy to forget. And that’s what happened on the stage of theEurovision. What it had been announced as a musical moment to remember its caliberhas turned into a very fast, almost insignificant passage.
“Do you know when I started dancing?” He asks Laura Pausini to his associates Alessandro Cattelan and Mika. “Thanks to a woman with a super recognizable blonde haircut: Raffaella Carrà. Fiesta! ». Immediately after a few seconds of Fiesta, the three hint at some moves on stage and … the magic vanishes. All finished and many greetings. This is the homage ofEurovision Song Contest 2022 – and Rai – to Raffaella.

And to say that the event returned to Italy thanks to her. He remembers it Gabriele Corsi at the end of the very short block. It was 2011 and Italy returned to the competition after an absence of 14 years. The commentator of that edition was Raffaella Carràgreeted by a real roar by the Düsseldorf audience when he connected to communicate the votes of Italy.
Social against Eurovision 2022
The skimpy space reserved for the Carrà made us turn up our noses. On Twitter, thousands of users have vented their disappointment with more or less ironic tweets. «A shameful and aberrant thing», «embarrassing and unfair», «what a pain», he reads. This is the average content of the comments of those who – rightly – would have expected more. Certainly, Raffaella Carrà would have deserved more.
The Sanremo Festival 2022despite closing late at night, he managed to remember it with an energetic and exciting medley of his greatest hitsbrought to the stage by the protagonists of the musical Dance danceinspired by his life. Eurovision it is the most followed musical show in the world and Carrà is one of the few artists who have been able to leave her mark.
Reserve an eye for those who have honored the stage from the first to the last moment of their career it was mandatory.
Reducing everything to a beat and a few seconds of musical carpet did nothing but detract from the moment. Eurovision 2022 It will end on Saturday 14 May, but the chances of it being properly remembered during the final are slim. An opportunity lost just when Italy holds the role of hostess and demonstrates, once again, that he does not know how to value, rectius to pay homage to one’s talents.
