PFor many it is not a surprise, because it is given as favourite already before his arrival in Sanremo. It is no coincidence that they call him “the king of Naples”: he dominated the evening with the duets of Sanremo Festival 2024 was Geolierwho performed together with Luchè, Guè and Gigi D’Alessio in a medley entitled Roadsin which the poignant stands out Thrill.

Sanremo 2024, Angelina Mango: «Eurovision? I didn't even think I'd get here.

Second place for Angelina Mangowho sang The swallow, success of his father Mango. Third place for Annalisawhich with La List Representative and the choir Artemia she performed the cover of Sweet dreams (Are made of this) of the Eurythmics.

Then there was Ghali: with Ratchopper he brought a medley from the title to the Ariston Real Italian. Last of tonight’s top five – not in our opinion – Alphawho performed a poignant cover of Dream boy dream with Roberto Vecchioni.

All three juries voted for the 30 competing artists: the public (34%), from the press room, TV and web (33%) and from the radio (33%). Let’s remember that tonight’s ranking still stands provisional.

Sanremo Festival 2024, Geolier wins under protests

One of the most beautiful and traditional things about the Ariston is the emotional participation of the public in the room: and this, for better or for worse. In the praise as in protests. And in fact, to be honest, the choice of televoting to elect Geolier as king of the evening – and no longer just of Naples – many did not go down well.

In front of a Amadeus is increasingly embarrassedwhen first place was announced the audience began to whistle in a way that’s impossible to ignore. Not only that: many they got up and left the room, getting dressed in a hurry. And no, it has nothing to do with the pouring rain falling outside the Ariston.

So many emotions in the evening of the covers

Returning to the general performances, recovering emotionally from the evening of duets is not easy. We began to be moved with Alfa and Roberto Vecchioni. Then, they thought about it Irama and Riccardo Cocciantewhile instead he thought of giving us the final blow Angelina Mangowho sang the best-known hit of his father, who passed away in 2014.

Heartbreaking moments even with Gazelleswhich together with Thunderbolts has sung Night before exams by Venditti, i French Saints And Skins with theirs Hallelujah, Diodate And Jack Savorettiwhich they brought to Ariston Love come, love go by Fabrizio De Andrè.

Sanremo Festival 2024, the Eiffel 65 are also there

But not only. Who brought them to the stage Eiffel 65 – Fred De Palma – decided to harm boomers and millennials – the main audience of the Festival – who certainly started swaying to the rhythmic notes of Too much of heaven And Blue.

Or say Sweet Dreams (Are made of this) of the Eurythmicsbrought to the stage by Annalisa with The List Representative.

But dancing to these hits 20 years ago was certainly different, at least for the joints and joints of the audience at home worn over the years.

But what have we Millennials/boomers done wrong to you? Why bring i Different Twins – by the way: thank you, Mr. Rain – and their Mary with the Butterflies dancing in the background is pure sadism for those who grew up with those songs. What a blow to the heart. Luckily Sanremo only happens once a year.
