This is more than a Eurovision song. This is art. It should be Italy’s selection but if not, I will cherish this song as the gift to humanity that it is. 🖤
It’s a beautiful song and I love it. Their voices blend so well together and the song made me emotional. This would be one of the best Eurovision songs ever!
La ""mise e scene" che hanno fatto Mahmood e Blanco è stata eccezionale, soprattutto nella prima serata... hanno rappresentato, interpretato, la canzone, vorrei dire quasi come se fosse un brano di un musical... Non importa se uno è gay e l'altro è etero... sono due cantanti che interpretano un testo, e al meglio... vocalmente e anche attorialmente... Questo è stato uno dei grandi punti di forza dell'interpretazione della prima serata.... Gli occhi negli occhi, il dito indice puntato, Blanco che afferra il bavero della giacca di Mahmood che fa quella specie di smorfia come reazione.... poi l'abbraccio liberatorio finale... Vedendo le varie reaction internazionali ho notato che questo interpretare - non solo cantare, - la canzone ha sicuramente aggiunto un livello superiore al brano e colpito le persone... Quindi mi piace pensare - come in un musical o un film - a un prima (quello che è successo) ma anche a un dopo, non dando magari per scontato che dopo questo grido di sofferenza per "il veleno che ci sputiamo addosso ogni giorno" non possa arrivare una riconciliazione che poggia su basi più profonde e consapevoli dopo un percorso doloroso ma forse necessario. Infatti spesso accade che nelle relazioni ci siano dei "turning points" in cui ci si butta addosso tutto il veleno che si ha dentro, pur amando l'altro, e a volte è possibile una riconciliazione, magari su basi ancora più forti. Quindi chissà, non sappiamo cosa è successo prima, e non sappiamo cosà succederà dopo...ma questo testo forte, potente, ci colpisce, ci emoziona.... ed è sicuramente uno degli elementi di successo di questo brano, è un "racconto" universale...
Part of the charm of the song is its ambiguity. Watching them on stage, one would think they are singing about their love for each other. The official video, though, has them singing about their own love story, Mahmood with a man and Blanco with a woman. Fact is, both interpretations are possible, you can take what you want from the song because its meaning lies deeper than the technicality of "whom are they singing about?". That said, I think the song has been composed with the Eurovision in mind. It's in Italian but anyone can see how it is meant to be understood by everyone, regardless of the language. I have no idea whether it will actually win Sanremo - it's among the favourites but there are two other strong contenders. If it does and goes to Eurovision, it will certainly rank high... It might even win, but I hear there is a tradition of not having a country winning two times in a row and I have no idea how good the other Eurovision songs are.
♥️♥️ For your reaction! So many words I want to say. This is THE most beautiful, emotional, melodically and harmonywise best song made in a long time, with THE best singers interacting togethet Ive ever heard!! I just heard a snippet of it before they released the whole song and I could tell already that this is unbeatable, both in my heart and in ESC? The harmonies with the strings bring me as listener from emotions varm, to hope, to tears of joy, Im FULLFILLED and the volume in this masterpiece is endless. They are feeling every word, passionate, how their voices interacts - perfection. Italy is a ledgend bringing theese emotional songs. I cant help think of another master writing theme to the film "Piovra" Ennio Morricone, "Mille Ecchi" for ex. is a masterpiece in strings with theese harmonies that grabs you so hard to stop breathing almost. Like this song do. (If Spain wins over this song, they should really consider to shange it to ESC DANCE contest instead excuse me), cause this is what MUSIC is about to peoples hearts. Ciao and love! ♥️🌺😊
Hahaha glad you like my reaction!! We get at to a positive review by Susanne….nice hahahahha :-) It’s the emotion in the delivery I am obsessed with! I like to WATCH this one more than listen…..I mean I like the listen…..but the watch is special :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview Yees! Your reaction said all things I self reacted on when saw them, agree, you want to See them perform, its the optimal/higher level experience! I put an little excuse in French review about my "pharenteses" in Belgium, i just felt so hoplessly repetitive in my opinions "mja/its ok", But I will always find something positive to say about a song, even if it doesnt reach all the way for me. Thanks! 🙂🌹
We all knew that Italy wouldn't be joking. No matter who they send it will be quality. I only listened to the song once, and I love it. Mahmood has such a unique vocals and they fit perfectly with Blanco. But my huge favorite this year is River, the Polish song. No doubt that Italy will be very high again, and also among my favorites, as they are every year.
I do agree! this is best song and interpretation of San Remo 2022! they both match together and are amazing as amazing is the lyrics of the song....being not perfect in love, not being able to express the entity of proper feeling extended on any kind of love...very human, realistic and as you said they' ve been able to create a poetry out of it....FANTASTICI MAHMOOD & BLANCO! they both are outstanding ....I also recommend to listen to Blu celeste of Blanco
@@ShanesEurovisionReview one of my absolute favs is inverno dei fiori! I’d add gianni morandi in my top 5 as well 😍 your top 3 is Great but I didn’t really like Ana mena :/
I want to explain something about the song☺ It is not solely a gayfriendly song, It's the story of two solitudes, a gay man and a heterosexual man that share the same incapacity to express their feelings to the loved ones, losing everything. It's a message of equality and one of the first examples of pop music where they tear down the virtual wall that always separates the sentimental lives of hetero & gay men. Actually they were not flirting on stage. Sanremo is the italian music contest only for italian music. It's not a selection for the Eurovision contest, absolutely not. In Europe many countries have this wrong idea. But In italy we have this our own historical contest just for us. This is the 72nd edition OLDER than Eurovision. Eurovision contest was born inspired by the Italian one. In the past the winners were not usually to participate to the Eurovision because Sanremo was enough, now they partecipate just for marketing to sell more album.
When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece. Look closely at nature. Every species is a masterpiece, exquisitely adapted to the particular environment in which it has survived...
Cannot stop listening to this song from last night so far.. it's amazing beautiful.. OMG.. I'll get obsessed with this, I know, for sure... I have BRIVIDI ❤❤❤
Haha Shane, I wrote my comment before listening to your review part of the video and again we’ve said the same thing and words hahaha!! We so agree on a lot indeed.
The live performance was really good - their voices go great together and you can feel their emotions through song even though you do not understand the lyrics.
Blanco is completely free minded about sexuality and though he's heterosexual he does not mind kissing men in his videos. What is funny is the shyness of Mahmood who keeps a sort of emotional distance during this performance, had it been for blanco they would have surely make out on stage ahahahaha. In the official video Mahmood celebrates his coming out finally...
great upload - thank u so much, watching as well San Remo in Vienna and was sooo curious whole day - whats this emotional song between 2 men is about... its just about love between 2 men...in a platonic way.... I had 2 translate it as well to be sure of this... so happy how good San Remo has developed.... and gives this a staging.... lots of love from Vienna
Hey Anton....thank you for the lovely message :-) Are you sure the lyrics about platonic love? They seem to me to be about love love haha.....I just wasnt sure if they were singing to each other....or two men singing a love song (well a broken love song haha) :-)
The song is amazing! Thank for your reaction. However I think in eurovison this song may not be understand... Unfortunately. But it deserve to win, they are soo good toghter
Thank you so much, that was an excellent and spot-on explanation of why I think this song stood out so much last night. Some people on the Facebook ESC group I comment on are saying "It's just another boring ballad"... mind if I link your vid on that group? 😊
@@ShanesEurovisionReview - Thanks! How many times have we seen a love duet between a man and a woman? Well... it's so great that Mahmood and Blanco are now contributing to normalising one between two men! ❣️
Right I want to message back in full now haha....thank you so much for your lovely words Daniela....it has been a long day so I am really grateful :-) I am not even commenting on the song....I am talking about everything above/beyond the song...that is why I woke up early and did this video...which I had no intentions of doing. I woke up and thought...do you know what that was special/magical and whilst I don't tend to talk/react to single songs in National Finals...this deserved to be talked about :-)
Another reason why I wanted to do this video! :-) Is the song ground breaking...ok probably not (LYRICALLY YES)....but is this performance special....YES :-)
ITALY DO IT BETTER ALL! ITALY WILL WIN AGAIN! THIS SONG IS SO MUCH POWERFUL AND DO MUCH LOVE AND THE VOICES AND THE MELODY SO EMOTIONAL! WHEN YOU LISTEN THE SONG YOU CRY AND CRY AND YOU WILL FEEL “BRIVIDI”! GO ITALY GO FROM AMERICA WE LOVE IT!
@@ShanesEurovisionReview I NEVER CRY IN MY LIFE JUST TO LISTEN A SONG EVEN MORE AT THE FIRST TIME BUT WHEN I LISTEN THIS I STARTED TO CRY..,AND I HAD BRIVIDI
Have a listen to our wonderful artist and singer songwriter Aleksandra Kovac, sing "Brividi", live in her home, in Belgrade! th-cam.com/video/Vxu-ePqnihQ/w-d-xo.html
I dreamed I was flying with you On a diamond bike You told me “You've changed I don't see light in your eyes anymore" What are you afraid of? A sea you can never touch Even if sex isn't Really an escape route Come on, don't run away from here Don't leave me like this Naked with the shivers Sometimes I don't know how to express myself And I'd like to love you, but I always mess up I'd like to steal a pearly sky for you I'd pay to get out I'd even accept a lie I'd like to love you, but I always mess up And I get the shivers, shivers, shivers You, who wake me up in the morning You, who spill wine in bed You, who bite my skin With your snakelike eyes And you, you're the opposite of an angel And you, you're like a boxer in their corner And you run away from here, you leave me like this Naked with the shivers Sometimes I don't know how to express myself And I'd like to love you, but I always mess up I'd like to steal a pearly sky for you I'd pay to get out I'd even accept a lie I'd like to love you, but I always mess up And I get the shivers, shivers, shivers Tell me I'm wrong I live inside a prison I try to stay close to you Sorry if I make everything go to shit I don't know how to tell you how I feel, it's my problem For an "I love you" I mixed drugs with tears This venom that we spit at each other every day I don't want it on me anymore You see it, I'm here On a diamond bike, one among many Naked with the shivers Sometimes I don't know how to express myself And I'd like to love you, but I always mess up I'd like to steal a pearly sky for you I'd pay to get out I'd even accept a lie I'd like to love you, but I always mess up And I get the shivers, shivers, shivers
Great reaction Shane! To me this was definitely the best song of the evening, a couple of notch above all the others, you're right it's about being bad a loving and Mahmood and Blanco sing it like they're the two lovers involved which I don't know if it's true but the raw emotion is 100% true and can I say is great that somethng like this is sung by two guys which I think is a first. I was sure this would have been doing well with the jury however for the final and the televote people not watching the show and listening only on the radio might not get the emotional level and the poetry of the lyrics and prefer something lighter. My runing up are "Ciao ciao" La rappresentante di lista and "Ti amo ma non lo so dire" by Noemi also written by Mahmood, what do you think about them??
Thank you Barbara :-) Thank you for confirming my baby level translation of italian haha! You said it...."raw emotion":...that's why when I woke up this morning and it was all I could think about :-) Some good songs overall. Personal favourites: 1. Mahmood and Blanco 2. Noemi 3. The List Representative 4. Ana Mena
my friend introduced me to this song before Christmas. It is beautiful :-) il mio amico mi ha fatto conoscere questa canzone prima di Natale. È bella :-)
I think only Mahmood wrote it with his team but correct me if im wrong. There are some beatiful melodies in there but i guess im the contrarian on this one. Im not falling for it the same way i wasnt amazed by Maneskin because im not a thirsty school girl/gay anymore lol. But they were the best of the night still...
They faced an important theme, love without barriers, love without prejudice, love that knows no gender, with great sensitivity. It is a theme that can be addressed in many ways, but they have chosen a difficult one. Facing the love of two different generations, and joining in a single love story💘 Google translation
It’s a good song, and they performed it pretty well, but it just left me cold. I’m not sure what I was expecting but it didn’t leave me excited for it at all. Don’t know if I’m just not seeing something, or just not connecting with it but … meh.
I don't like when artist who have already achieved success on Esc is comming back, because people tend to see them differently. Some have high expectations and some don't really care about the song, only about the artist. I wasn't the biggest fan of Soldi. I like it, it was my 8th place, but still not my winner. So I think I can judge this song pretty objectively. I really like it. Beautiful harmonies, great voices and really good chorus. But verses are a little bit flat for me. Maybe because simply I don't understand the language. My score is 7/10. I haven't heard other songs so I can't say if it is my winner, but definately it doesn't give my the winner vibes. At least not the Eurovision winner. Btw none of the songs I've heard in all of the NFs give me that instant winner vibes.
I respect your opinion, but last night I listened to all 12 songs and find both song and performance 3 levels higher than every other one. Definitely not a potential ESC winner (but either the ballade from Portugal at ESC 2017 didn't give me winner vibes ...).
Sanremo doesn’t solely focus on winning to go to ESC. Artists don’t “come back” for this purpose, the winner can actually decide not to perform at Eurovision; it’s the festival of Italian music so Italian singers attend it when they think they have a valuable song to present. There are artists who partecipated many times, even for many years in a row.
@@nicolascarpa638 Finally someone who explains it.. It is still not clear that in Italy there is not an event created only for the Esc.. In Sanremo the singers return because it is an excellent showcase for the singers and to move on to the radio .. And very followed Esc and only a bonus for them.. I don't know if mahmood won his intentions regarding Esc
I love the message, it's beautiful, but the singing was problematic for me, especially when Mahmood say "brividi", which is the most important segment of the song, it sounds squeaky and unpleasant in my ears, like he's making an effort to produce the sound.
@@ShanesEurovisionReview I wish I could read Italian, but I can see from the translation that it's very deep, truthful and original. The opposite of a normal eurovision song (:
last night the press room (journalists) and the radios voted. Ana lena is arrived twelfth (last) Mahmood ft Blanco first ..According to the song Ciao ciao Obviously this is The opinion of the technical jury.. There are still 4 evenings and the final grade..
@@carloal3498 la sala stampa qualcosa Cmq ne capisce.. Nel 2019 avevano dato pochi voti a il Volo e a Ultimo che era il favoriti da casa e hanno fatto slittare im alto la canzone soldi..(mahmood era poco conosciuto e votato poco da casa) e al primo ascolto a me non era piaciuta poi più l ascoltavo e mi sono resa conto che era la migliore e ha fatto successo.. L anno scorso hanno dato ottimi voti a Musica leggerissima.. Anche li si è rivelata tra le canzoni più gettonate in radio.. Molto bella! Fidati che ne capiscono di musica
So what did you think of MAHMOOD E BLANCO performance last night? Please let me know your thoughts in the comments below :-)
Extremely powerful chemistry. Goosebumps
Meraviglioso
Amazing Chemistry Max :-)
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is more than a Eurovision song. This is art. It should be Italy’s selection but if not, I will cherish this song as the gift to humanity that it is. 🖤
Sanremo's winner(s) gain the right to represent Italy to Eurovision, so yes, as long as the winner will not refuse, they will go to Eurovision
Awwwww this comment made me smile trojanpony.....well said :-)
No there is better
This is the perfect example; music can break any language barriers! I got chills a few times during this song, incredible!
Perfectly said Carles!...."music can break any language barriers".....love this :-)
Brividi means chills 💙👌
You could say from now on - they're going to win the Eurovision!
12 points from Israel!
It's the best song for Eurovision in San Remo 2022 definitely :-)
They harmonize So beautifully together. Their song was a standout for me as well.
Song AND performance Heylin's World :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview It is not easy to duet with a voice like that of Mhamood! Good Blanco👏👏🥰Thanks shane
Guys vote them in the next days. They deserve to win
This song is amazing!! Congratulations to both singers, from Barcelona ❤️
It's a GREAT song :-)
Beautiful vibrations.. Their voices blend well together... I didn't think knowing the two artists
Voices blend soooooo well Simona :-)
They deserve to win…. OMG
Was definitely an unforgettable performance Tommy :-)
They're serving the italian _All the things she said_ and I'm here for it
Haha 😃
It’s a beautiful song and I love it. Their voices blend so well together and the song made me emotional. This would be one of the best Eurovision songs ever!

Ciao daniel ti seguo dai tempi de ipantellas
Blanco turns 19 this week. His mastery of voice and stage is amazing for his age.
You should react to Irama’s Ovunque Sarai too.
I may come back to San Remo....it will be difficult to react to then now as I watched all of them live on Saturday! I did like Iramu :-)
I dreamed I was flying with you
On a diamond bike
You told me “You've changed
I don't see light in your eyes anymore"
What are you afraid of?
A sea you can never touch
Even if sex isn't
Really an escape route
Come on, don't run away from here
Don't leave me like this
Naked with the shivers
Sometimes I don't know how to express myself
And I'd like to love you, but I always mess up
I'd like to steal a pearly sky for you
I'd pay to get out
I'd even accept a lie
I'd like to love you, but I always mess up
And I get the shivers, shivers, shivers
You, who wake me up in the morning
You, who spill wine in bed
You, who bite my skin
With your snakelike eyes
And you, you're the opposite of an angel
And you, you're like a boxer in their corner
And you run away from here, you leave me like this
Naked with the shivers
Sometimes I don't know how to express myself
And I'd like to love you, but I always mess up
I'd like to steal a pearly sky for you
I'd pay to get out
I'd even accept a lie
I'd like to love you, but I always mess up
And I get the shivers, shivers, shivers
Tell me I'm wrong
I live inside a prison
I try to stay close to you
Sorry if I make everything go to shit
I don't know how to tell you how I feel, it's my problem
For an "I love you" I mixed drugs with tears
This venom that we spit at each other every day
I don't want it on me anymore
You see it, I'm here
On a diamond bike, one among many
Naked with the shivers
Sometimes I don't know how to express myself
And I'd like to love you, but I always mess up
I'd like to steal a pearly sky for you
I'd pay to get out
I'd even accept a lie
I'd like to love you, but I always mess up
And I get the shivers, shivers, shivers
Lyrics are poetry :-)
I watched the show - really good songs, yes really loved this one. I also really enjoyed Maneskin.
Some good songs overall. Personal favourites:
1. Mahmood and Blanco
2. Noemi
3. The List Representative
4. Ana Mena
@@ShanesEurovisionReview Yes I really liked Noemi as well
Blanco, or the boy on the right, is only 18 years old and very young .. greetings from Italy 🇮🇹🇮🇹
He does an amazing job for a guy of 18 on such a huge stage Sara!
Greetings from Milano :-)
I only say one thing: WINNER ALERT IN EUROVISION!!!!
it's an amazing performance JLV :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview it is great and I would not be surprised with an EUROVISION ITALY 2023
Winners
100% :-)
Really do make you have “BRIVIDi, my number 1 this year, even tops Elisa as far as I’m concerned
It was an amazing performance Margaret :-)
Great reaction Shane! To me this was definitely the best song of the evening, a couple of notch above all the others, you're right it's about being bad a loving and Mahmood and Blanco sing it like they're the two lovers involved which I don't know if it's true but the raw emotion is 100% true and can I say is great that somethng like this is sung by two guys which I think is a first. I was sure this would have been doing well with the jury however for the final and the televote people not watching the show and listening only on the radio might not get the emotional level and the poetry of the lyrics and prefer something lighter. My runing up are "Ciao ciao" La rappresentante di lista and "Ti amo ma non lo so dire" by Noemi also written by Mahmood, what do you think about them??
Thank you Barbara :-)
Thank you for confirming my baby level translation of italian haha!
You said it...."raw emotion":...that's why when I woke up this morning and it was all I could think about :-)
Some good songs overall. Personal favourites:
1. Mahmood and Blanco
2. Noemi
3. The List Representative
4. Ana Mena
Blanco: Lucciole, very beautiful song
my friend introduced me to this song before Christmas. It is beautiful :-)
il mio amico mi ha fatto conoscere questa canzone prima di Natale. È bella :-)
Best song eurovision 2022
la historia de amor rota y retomada entre dos hombres
It's not a love story about two men... It's just a love story
That's what I wanted to know....as I wasn't sure....thank you :-)
👋🏼🌶️🔥💪🏼🇮🇹😁
Greetings from Milan Alessio :-)
I think only Mahmood wrote it with his team but correct me if im wrong. There are some beatiful melodies in there but i guess im the contrarian on this one. Im not falling for it the same way i wasnt amazed by Maneskin because im not a thirsty school girl/gay anymore lol.
But they were the best of the night still...
Notti in bianco e blu Celeste di Blanco

Mezz"Ora di Sole
Sai Cosa C' è
Ladro di Fiori
Thank you Paulo :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview 😊👍
Reaction please Blanco
Beautiful, you should check the video.
I did.....it's good :-)
They faced an important theme, love without barriers, love without prejudice, love that knows no gender, with great sensitivity. It is a theme that can be addressed in many ways, but they have chosen a difficult one. Facing the love of two different generations, and joining in a single love story💘 Google translation
Agree 100% with every word in this comment Paolo :-)
It’s a good song, and they performed it pretty well, but it just left me cold. I’m not sure what I was expecting but it didn’t leave me excited for it at all. Don’t know if I’m just not seeing something, or just not connecting with it but … meh.
I think I was just won over the performance Dave.....I was not really tuning into the song so much haha :-)
I don't like when artist who have already achieved success on Esc is comming back, because people tend to see them differently. Some have high expectations and some don't really care about the song, only about the artist. I wasn't the biggest fan of Soldi. I like it, it was my 8th place, but still not my winner. So I think I can judge this song pretty objectively. I really like it. Beautiful harmonies, great voices and really good chorus. But verses are a little bit flat for me. Maybe because simply I don't understand the language. My score is 7/10. I haven't heard other songs so I can't say if it is my winner, but definately it doesn't give my the winner vibes. At least not the Eurovision winner. Btw none of the songs I've heard in all of the NFs give me that instant winner vibes.
I respect your opinion, but last night I listened to all 12 songs and find both song and performance 3 levels higher than every other one. Definitely not a potential ESC winner (but either the ballade from Portugal at ESC 2017 didn't give me winner vibes ...).
Sanremo doesn’t solely focus on winning to go to ESC. Artists don’t “come back” for this purpose, the winner can actually decide not to perform at Eurovision; it’s the festival of Italian music so Italian singers attend it when they think they have a valuable song to present. There are artists who partecipated many times, even for many years in a row.
@@carloal3498 of course. It might be a grower for me. Especially that I think I like it more than Soldi.
@@nicolascarpa638 yeah.. You're right. Whoever wins I still wish Italy all the best.
@@nicolascarpa638 Finally someone who explains it.. It is still not clear that in Italy there is not an event created only for the Esc.. In Sanremo the singers return because it is an excellent showcase for the singers and to move on to the radio .. And very followed Esc and only a bonus for them.. I don't know if mahmood won his intentions regarding Esc
I love the message, it's beautiful, but the singing was problematic for me, especially when Mahmood say "brividi", which is the most important segment of the song, it sounds squeaky and unpleasant in my ears, like he's making an effort to produce the sound.
The message and particularly the lyrics Yair are awesome :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview I wish I could read Italian, but I can see from the translation that it's very deep, truthful and original.
The opposite of a normal eurovision song (:
eurovision 2022 poland krystian ochman river
Has Poland released all the songs now Roksana?
Flat and overhyped
Oh no slomo....I think the performance alone warrants some hype :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview being an homophobic country,they wont win with that kind of performance
Sorry,I´m gay but I don´t like the song,if anyone have chills with this song maybe should go to a doctor
The lyrics are cute but I don’t really like the song itself :( my fav was Ana Mena last night
I found Ana's song nice but not really original - and pretty forgettable.
last night the press room (journalists) and the radios voted. Ana lena is arrived twelfth (last) Mahmood ft Blanco first ..According to the song Ciao ciao Obviously this is The opinion of the technical jury.. There are still 4 evenings and the final grade..
@@simmyminelli8479 : such a vote from the journalists was very predictable.
@@carloal3498 la sala stampa qualcosa Cmq ne capisce.. Nel 2019 avevano dato pochi voti a il Volo e a Ultimo che era il favoriti da casa e hanno fatto slittare im alto la canzone soldi..(mahmood era poco conosciuto e votato poco da casa) e al primo ascolto a me non era piaciuta poi più l ascoltavo e mi sono resa conto che era la migliore e ha fatto successo.. L anno scorso hanno dato ottimi voti a Musica leggerissima.. Anche li si è rivelata tra le canzoni più gettonate in radio.. Molto bella! Fidati che ne capiscono di musica
@@simmyminelli8479: infatti, mi fido più della stampa che dell'assai dubbio televoto ...
