As an Italian, I can say with enough confidence that when choosing the winner of San Remo's Festival almost nobody thinks about what song is better for Eurovision. San Remo is much more important to us than Eurovision so we choose the songs which are better for a San Remo victory only. It is a completely separate Festival celebrating Italian music tradition only, with no ties to Eurovision, differently from other countries who have their own national selections for this kermesse. That is why our winners have the option not to partecipate. Because they never sang to go to Eurovision in the first place. We stayed out of it for many years and it wouldn't surprise me if it happened again
Come ho letto in un commento sotto un video che ora non ricordo: le canzoni a Sanremo con i testi e le musiche devono parlare ai cuori e devono avere un significato. Invece all'Eurovision prediligono lo spettacolo e l'orecchiabilità. I testi sono poco importanti, a loro frega solo che la messa in scena sia impattante
The problem for the exams is that each state sings in its own language and in fact it's called Eurovision otherwise it would be called differently it would be a whole other thing
@@MatthGulins8555 the thing is the lyrics of this song are nothing new either. They're nothing ground breaking surely, are they? The song speaks about the obstacles in a relationship between 2 people who like each other. I appreciate the poetry but with everything that is going on at the moment - the war, the post-Covid world we're in, the sinking economies, the far-right government in Italy, human rights, the mafia in Sicily, the job uncertainties, the lack of opportunities for young people, the cost of properties, the cost of food, etc. etc. - I'm not finding this song particularly meaningful either. It's not like the message Marco Mengoni is trying to convey is that extraordinary. It's all sounding very generic, very bland, innocuous, extremely safe and protective. I like the song, don't get me wrong. But I'm not blown away either. I won't be downloading it. Will Italians be remembering it in 6 months from now? I very much doubt it. "Dovrei telefonarti Dirti le cose che sento Ma ho finito le scuse E non ho più difese" Thanks Marco, that's lovely lyrics. Next. Where is Rosa Chemical, up to much?? Maneskin?
I'm Spanish and I've been following Sanremo from 5 years now. Every time someone here assumes the winner goes to Eurovision as if it was a national selection I have to explain them the whole thing, exactly what you've just said. Sanremo is such a unique festival and music is the most important thing, as it should always be. I admire you for that. The week of Sanremo is one of the weeks I look most forward to during the whole year and I'm sad now that it is over 🥲🥰
Have you ever noticed how Italian songs have always the problem that they need to cut a part to fit in the three minutes required by ESC? That's because NONE of them is written or submitted in Sanremo Festival thinking of Eurovision, because the important thing, to every artist, IS Sanremo. And that's why they can even choose not to participate in ESC or to participate with a different song. We are happy if we do well in ESC, but during Sanremo Festival nobody really cares.
I legit think the Italians are right if they don't care about Eurovision :)) They were underrated so many times and it's a wonder Maneskin eventually managed to win it. They are classes above other songs that finish above them, at this point Sanremo clearly has a higher level than Eurovision imo, and I'm not Italian. Sanremo is way more of a true song contest than what Eurovision came to be in the last 2 years. Eurovision is just hype and show contest lately.
Ti ringrazio per questo tuo commento. Hai descritto molto bene come viviamo Sanremo. E si, anche io penso che la qualità delle nostre canzoni non sono per la facciata pubblicitaria del Eurovision. Non rimaniamo in superficie con effetti speciali, ma devi avere la capacità e il coraggio di scendere nel profondo. La reazione così superficiale della signora qui sopra mi ha fatto capire chiaramente che per lei vanno bene i fuochi d'artificio. Spero tentò che vinca lo spessore e la profondità, la qualità e la professionalità e la piena pura e unica arte di Marco Mengoni. Gli italiani sulla musica sono molto esigenti. Grazie ancora. ❤️🙏
Marco is one of the best singers here in Italy at the moment. Italy chose him as the Sanremo's festival winner not because of Eurovision (Sanremo is not held for ESC selection) but because he was the best of the competition. Eurovision is a plus in his career made of 2.8 million records sold in Italy. He peaked the Italian albums chart seven consecutive times and entered the Top 10 Italian Singles Chart fifteen times. Moreover he won the 3rd season of XFactor Italy, two TRL Awards, nine Wind Music Awards and nine MTV Italian Music Awards. He still has to decide what song to present at the ESC competition. I think he will do very well in any case because of his talent and extraordinary voice.
If we were thinking about sending somebody in europe we would vote for madame or lazza . They were with the right european vibes. But we are italian before we are european, so we like more the soul, vibrato and the voice of mengoni... that's all
We don't choose our Sanremo winner just for the ESC.. We can stay easly without ESC and Eurofans who expect ( fairly) music to dance and have fun,but in Italy we see music under a different shape. to be honest, I don't understand why Italy keep to send song to Eurovision , we are clearly incompatible
I agree with you... Esc isn't anymore festival that is used to be. It's already full of trash and cheap dance music. If you're already more than 30 years you're too old for participation.... I'm sure Marco will represent Italy perfectly no matter what....
il problema è che non doveva vincere neanche sanremo, per quanto Mengoni sia bravissimo la canzone è veramente noiosa e uguale a tutte le altre, la scelta migliore per sanremo e per l'eurovision sarebbe stata Lazza, mentre se dovessimo guardare solo l'eurovision probabilmente con Rosa avremmo addirittura vinto...
@@jesrv7774 ha vinto col 54% dei voti,avrei preferito anche io Lazza..Ma la maggioranza decide e la votazione è stata chiara..Ha vinto un vero talento musicale e a me va benissimo, mi piace lo stesso...non piacerà agli Eurofans? STIGRANCAZZI
Love this song, everybody in Italy knew that Marco would win Sanremo after the first listen of Due Vite. I don't care if he won't win Esc, this song will remain in Italian memory forever
A perfect example of italian quality 😍💯 This country just never disappoints when it comes to music and Eurovision! Surely a possible winner and the biggest favorite so far!
Grazie! Ma Sanremo è per noi il festival della canzone italiana. È nato prima dell'eurofestival E le canzoni sono scelte perché piacciono agli italiani. Non ci interessa niente dell'eurofestival.
@@wild_rose Che generalizzazioni noiose. Quanti erano?1000, 10.000 (ne dubito)? Siamo quasi 60 milioni. Tutti gli italiani NON parlavano di ESC E aggiungo che Sanremo è stato visto da appena 10 milioni di italiani (per intenderci: 1/6 della popolazione). "Tutti" gli italiani di Twitter saranno (ad essere molto generosi) qualche migliaio
Sanremo and Eurovision are brothers, but they are different, like all siblings are. They were always different, even in early days (not all the chansons were equal, they had subgenres too). They were both born in Italy, but with different aspirations: the first was born to promote Italian culture, the second to reunite Europe with the power of music. Sanremo's main focus is on lyrics and voice, in Eurovision the major focus is on stage and visuals. Without a perfect voice for your musical genre or without a meaningful song, you won't ever win Sanremo (it's happened only a few times in weak editions), in Eurovision you can still win if you have stunning visuals. Do you Eurofans ever thought of why Italy overperforms in Eurovision? I have your answer. They came easily top 10 because their vocal performances and lyrics are strong. They already start with an advantage against other countries which should manage out to fit a stage to the song or the artists they chosen. They have nothing in common, literally, nothing, just the fact they are both song contests. But separate song contests: Sanremo isn't a National Final for Eurovision, is more an Italian Song Contest, indipendent from Eurovision. When Italy didn't participate in Eurovision, Sanremo was there, every year, one week a year. Not to select a song for Europe, but to select a song for Italy. That explains why it isn't a simple National final and why Eurofans might be frustrated to see what Italians choose as their winner. Because they choose their winner, not what they think Europe may crown as a winner.
You've got a perfect analysis. It is exactly what you've said. But, considering what is happening in the last times, because of the recent trends ruling today's musical "market" or "industry" 🤔 (i'm sorry, but I'm not able to explain it in other terms) and also ruling in many Eurovision kind of songs, I'm afraid (and i'm suspecting) this is already begin to influence and change (unfortunately in a negative way) the kind, and genre of music that we make. And the risk is "conforming" the style of the songs, getting lower quality songs, with loss of personality, charisma, melody, and so many other things on what Italian music is known about. And this, in order to serve the discographic industry, to sell more, and more quickly. So the result is going to be like so many more flat and meaningless songs, maybe catchy, maybe easy listening, but easy forgettable, and poor of quality. Even Sanremo is beginning to lose its quality and beauty with choosing songs that are no more good as some years ago (and i'm referring at not so many years ago, actually). Marco is one of the few good artists that still can resist, (and Luckily he won!!! 🥳🥳) but we are already invaded by "artists" singing every stuff, which are chosen dispite of the real good songs from good artists, which we also have. What a sadness 😢😢😢
@@SuperVicki82 claiming this after four stunning Sanremo's years means to understand nothing about music. Eurovision has always been kitsch, it's just Italians who found it out right now because they didn't even know the existence (just like you)
@@giovanniscg8540 scusami, non so se sei italiano, ma stavolta mi spiegherò in Italiano, così spero si capisca meglio. Intendevo dire che considerando ad es. anche solo le edizioni di Sanremo tra il 2015 e il 2017, (per essere più precisi nel tempo di riferimento) si nota comunque una certa differenza nella scelta delle canzoni. Già dal 2018, le cose hanno cominciato a cambiare. A voler essere onesti, mi è sembrato che i pezzi più interessanti fossero di meno, rispetto a prima. Ma non credo che un'affermazione del genere sia un buon pretesto per essere definiti "ignoranti totali in materia". Non esageriamo. (E poi son cose che non si dicono, proprio per una questione di rispetto nei confronti degli altri). Per quanto riguarda l'Eurovision, invece, non ci vuole molto per capire che tipo di spettacolo è e quali musiche predilige. (Eppure, lo stesso, ho cercato di informarmi in qualche modo.) Però sarei più d'accordo se ogni paese facesse sé stesso, anziché copiare il trend del momento (per vendere più facilmente, come dicevo prima). Non vorrei che per "esigenze eurovisive", la musica italiana si adatti sul modello Eurovision, con il rischio di spersonalizzarsi, anziché restare sé stessa, solo per "vendersi" meglio. (E a questo punto Sanremo che ci sta a fare, se deve produrre la stessa musica che c'è già a giro in abbondanza, al di fuori di Sanremo? 🤔) Era questo che intendevo dire.
I'm in love with this song!!!. He's amazing singer and that voice.... uffff. Beautiful all. My favourite for Eurovision now. Forza Italia!!!!! Greetings from Argentina ❤️👏👏
I'm broken inside yet completely healed after listening to this song! Marco's voice is unmatched! I believe him every word he's written, every breathe he's taking and every word he's singing! He probably is my fav Italian singer ever! I love every second of this song, goosebumps and teary eyes included.
Now it's second in the spotify for number of listens after Loreen. I think it was a huge success, it even won the award for best composition and 4° place without huge coreography. The text is something superlative. Very complex, it must be understood. Talk about psychology, the interaction between the conscious and subconscious, You have to listen to it, several times and spend some time even for an Italian who knows the language to understand, after that you can understand that is a masterpiece
Our beloved Mengoni is fourth in the standings and won the best composition award without the need for circuses and with great professionalism differently to many other countries, silencing you and all those who did not consider it suitable for Eurovision, evidently to Europe has excited here and there in the face of all the obvious stupidities that you said in the video marco is one of the greatest Italian singers ,pride for us
When you Watch an event like this one you must know that it's not about music ...at all. Even Sanremo Is much more focused on looks and scandals but It sometimes has some "music" in, Eurovision Is funny but Extremely trash. It's pure entertainment and It has much more in common with a Carnivale parade than with a music festival. I think Mengoni Is a great Singer but I don't think his Song Is extraordinary, however it's weird hearing someone talking about It like it's competing for something "serious".
Ciccia...se non ti piace Mengoni sono affari tuoi ma sappi che ha un'estensione vocale che tanti cantanti professionisti in tutto il mondo vorrebbero avere. E in Italia sono finiti i tempi delle canzoncine smielate con " amore " che fa rima con " cuore ". Più umiltà mia cara. Buona vita bella 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Umiltà lei l'ha avuta, non le piace, tutto qua. Non gli ha mica detto che fa schifo a cantare, ha anche detto che ha una bellissima voce. Abbi tu più umiltà, tipo scrivendole in inglese.
@@howells3007 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 avvocato... So scrivere in inglese ma essendo italiano sono orgoglioso della mia lingua ed ho deciso di scrivere in italiano. Tanto più che esistono le traduzioni automatiche che ormai tutti i dispositivi hanno. Partecipo da tempo alle discussioni e alle reactions su TH-cam senza problemi. Stranieri che mi rispondono nella propria lingua ad un commento che ho scritto in italiano senza questionare ... ogni tanto degli avvocati difensori delle cause perse e scassacazzi come te capitano ma io vi ci mando senza passare dal via e me ne strafrego. 😝😝😝😝😝
Thank you for your honesty..appreciated. I know ballads are not really liked in Esc but they are part of our DNA and though Italian music is nowadays really diverse, it's really difficult that something different from a good ballad can win Sanremo.
I find it amazing that people who don't understand Italian make reviews like this. Try to understand these basic concepts: 1) Sanremo doesn't serve to bring out the champion for the ESC (which we care very little about). 2) Italians love well written lyrics, well done arrangements and beautiful voices. 3) Maneskin were a parenthesis, usually, if we look at ESC, it's to smile at tacky performances, poor lyrics and bad choreography.
It's an italian power ballad. Italian ballads are about expressing emotions, in this case the self-healing and the rage of a man that judges the many mistakes in his life. You always expect something revolutionary from Italy and then always fall in love with the average dancy/rocky song made by the latest international queenie joining ESC. Do you make the same questions to those singers who have been singing the same ole uninventive dance or rock song for the last ten years? In this sanremo you could listen to great groove and beats like Elodie, Madame, Rosa Chemical, Lazza, gIANMARIA and they all sound great and contemporary, but get over it, italians have their tastes and they have a soft spot for power ballads THAT is the style we created in the early 60es with songs like "io che non vivo/You don't have to say you love me". Power ballads are known to be raw and raging and soft, shouty and raw again. That's what italian passion is about. Would you say to any contemporary soul singers that they are predictable only because they sing a style that has been a household genre since the early 60es? Do you really consider Adele, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith or maneskin innovative? Just asking....
Couldn't have said it better! I understand that people might not find it interesting and even boring (not a fan of the song either) but I don't understand what's wrong with bringing a typical Italian ballad. Italy has brought so many different genres since its return to the competition, especially the last 4/5 years, and has always delivered. Meanwhile, I've never heard any complaints about Sweden being predictable and always bringing generic pop songs every single year. Anyways! Marco Mengoni is an amazing singer and he will make us proud regardless of how many points he'll get.
I'm one of those people who voted for Marco these days and I'm happy about it. A beautiful song is not enough to win Sanremo, we love more the emotions and the POWER of the performance (the same power that led Maneskin to victory). in Sanremo we don't vote for "a genre", or "a typical ballad", we vote for what it shakes us via a television (just like everyone during the Eurovision) in this edition Marco stood out among everyone thanks to his high quality performance, music and text. Maybe he's not your genre but we are sure about his talent ❤️ And btw, I would rather have avoided to send Mahmood and Blanco last year
Sanremo and Eurovision are two different things, the other states make a competition on purpose to choose their Eurovision candidate and it is often chosen to be sung in English...Sanremo is our national thing and the essence of certain Only we Italians understand songs like Mengoni's. In an interview Mengoni didn't rule out the possibility of bringing a different song that fits better to Eurovision
Ho paura che mano mano che le nuove generazioni cresceranno, voteranno a Sanremo non la canzone che considerano più bella, ma quella che secondo loro avrà maggiori possibilità di vincere l'Eurovision. Già adesso sta cominciando questa tendenza. Sarebbe una tragedia per la musica italiana!!! Forse è il caso che Sanremo si stacchi dall'esc oppure che vengano avviate due votazioni differenti: una per scegliere la canzone vincitrice e un'altra per scegliere la canzone da inviare all'Eurovision.... Forse così riusciremo a limitare i danni...
@@linacrisanti7433 Comunque può starci: culture diverse, diversi gusti musicali. Nessun rancore con nessuno! Certamente mi stupisce sentire dire che la canzone croata (col massimo rispetto per i croati) è migliore di quella di Mengoni, ma i gusti son gusti...
Sorry everyone, but I believe that as an Italian for me whoever wins San Remo and not that goes to Euro Vision ... for years we did not worry about ESC, only 2 years ago, thanks you have Manskin, we all remembered that it existed Also this festival considered of Serie B for us. If Mengoni goes there or not and changes the song or not, honestly it is not important !!! Long live the beautiful songs that give us emotions and pleasure from any country come and in any language they are sung.
Les deux vies dont parle Mengoni sont nos deux personnalitées primaires qui composent notre identité , l'une basé sur nos instincts, l'autre sur notre raisonnement , non pas que l'une soit meilleur que l'autre mais qu'il y ait tout du moins une bonne "ambiance". Je ne reviens pas sur l'avis de cette personne qui dit ne pas aimer les balades , franchement on s'en fout , elle doit surement aimer les provocateurs ou peut etre le bling bling bref certainement pas la bonne musique , balade ou pas.
I find it interesting that they automatically give the Sanremo winner the first dibs at Eurovision when the competitions are so different. It seems to me it would make sense to offer a separate voting for Italians for which song should win Sanremo and which should be sent to Eurovision
Marco Mengoni has declared to the Italian press that he will not bring two lives to EUROVISION 2023 but probably another song in English in fact whoever wins Sanremo has the possibility to change the song
thanks for the reaction, Marco Mengoni like the Maneskin was launched by XFactor Italia years ago. he has a beautiful voice, I suggest you watch his performance in Sanremo in the evening of singing duets, he sang a beautiful version of let It be accompanied by an American gospel group
I loved the come back '68 dress. It's not easy to come back after 10 years in front of the audience, like Elvis did 50 years ago. I think this dress helped him emotionally to give him more confidence.
Anyway thanks for your video. Marco is the most beautiful male voice we have in Italy, he is known as a very sweet, sensitive and emotional guy, which makes him even more special. During the Festival he had a fever and sinusitis, despite this he sang wonderfully! ❤️ The songs presented in Sanremo are meant to be the best Italian song and not for Eurovision, where a different style often prevails (funny/trash songs), but this is real music and he could win. The song is about the inner conflict we all struggle with, that's why he feels the song very much in his heart while singing it. The text speaks of two parts of the same person, the conscious and the unconscious that talk to each other, the life of dreams that collides with that of reality (just "Due vite", "two lives"). Truly a deep and emotional meaning, a beautiful music that together with the text take the audience into a dreamlike scenario. Furthermore Marco is an excellent interpreter, this makes the difference and makes this song perfect, because he transmits all the emotions to the audience that watches and listens to him, even to a foreign audience that does not understand the Italian language and this says everything about what a great artist is Marco.
@@chrisperry5365 Thank you 🙏 Everyone has their own tastes but associating Marco with that face with that expression she put in the video is just propaganda. Marco is defined by the experts as an alien because his technique is perfect, he manages to do things with his voice considered very difficult for a human being, and all the other videos of foreigners who review this song say the same thing, they cry, get emotional, have the creeps, they say it's impossible to change his voice like he does, from acute to heavy, and instead in this video she says that he screams 😂 that's why I also wrote another comment in which I said that either this girl doesn't understand anything about music , or is just doing propaganda, and I had put the links of the experts who analyzed the song, but she has deleted my comments more than once, and maybe she will delete this too. It's one thing to prefer another genre or think that a song is not suitable for Eurovision trash because it's a song on a higher level and of a different style, and another thing to say technically wrong things about singing and put that expression while talking about the best singer we have in Italy. Among other things, foreigners often get confused about one thing, the others make songs based on Eurovision, the Italians instead do it for Sanremo and to elect the best Italian song, for us Eurovision is just one more thing. Sanremo is the father of Eurovision because they were inspired by our festival which has been around for many years before. This is a musical culture that the girl in the video doesn't know.
@@Io88888 I agree with what you said, though I don't think unsatisfactory reactions like this one are ill intended. Everyone has their own personal tastes even when it comes to objectively good songs (like Due vite). But yeah, the Eurovision mindsets such as having biases towards bop or ethnic or quirky songs regardless of how good they are then having a bias against "safe" songs or ballads (there's also a lot of misandry in the fandom especially when it comes to male ballads - everybody loves Alika's ballad but they hate on Marco's and Greece's, Switzerland's and Cyprus' ballads) is really annoying and insulting towards those artists and how they choose to express their artistry. I love Eurovision for how diverse it is, but I hate that part of the fandom who thinks they support diversity when in fact they just want every country to send a circus act.
@@chrisperry5365 Exactly, but I don't dispute her musical taste but the lack of understanding of music if you say that an artist like Marco is wrong because he screams, in a point of the song where everyone gets excited and the experts describe a beautiful and very difficult change of voice, praising his technique. Furthermore, I repeat that the face he put on the cover of the video is propaganda, because when there is such a good artist with such beautiful music you cannot put that expression which is not objective, even if you prefer music of a lower and more trashy. The foreigners I've heard love Italian ballads, because they indicate them as a higher level of music, as art. Evidently there is a part of the fandom that, as you say, loves trash, but even if they prefer another genre they must remain objective on the quality of what they are listening to, otherwise they look like those who don't know about music, like video girl.
@@Io88888 I forgot to adress the part about his vocals in your previous comments. Once again, I agree what you said. I saw some people saying similar things about Iceland's performer, that she's screaming when she sings, when in fact she's so well accustomed to what she's doing that she's even studied every throat muscle that has anything to do with the voice. This channel did actually enjoy her performance while saying that kind of stuff about Marco. So there's definitely bias against him.
I don't know how Mengoni's song gets abroad, but I find it beautiful, full of passion and musicality. Listening to the others in demo I think it's among the top 2!! (if not the best, many songs are too electronic, ash from Laza could also participate for the style of this Eurovision Song Contest 2023)
Sei di Sanremo? Una curiosità, come vivete voi sanremesi la settimana del festival ? Non vi da un po' fastidio questa invasione di migliaia di persone ? La verità 😃
@@xixixi5532 assolutamente si. Tutti i controlli e i turisti soni veramente fastidiosi. A volte per andare in via Matteotti (la via dove c’è l’Ariston) si può fare anche un’ora di coda. Ci sono degli abitanti che odiano il festival proprio per questo. Invece altre persone tipo me, sono onorate di vivere in questa città.
@@marlenebruzzone Lo posso immaginare. Dev'essere pesante trovarsi la città invasa, dover affrontare code e controlli. Per fortuna dura solo una settimana 😃
Per me è già una rottura quando passa il Giro d'Italia sopra casa mia, non oso immaginare per voi di Sanremo durante tutto il Festival che chaos deve essere! Però vi ringrazio perchè quella rimane sempre una bella settimana per stare incollata alla tv 😂
Me and noosh probably wouldn’t get along because most of my perceptions about music are too different to hers. Most of the stuff I hate she heaps praise upon such as Theodor Andrei but then she criticises the songs that I love like this. Also how can you possibly compare a polished high quality singer-songwriter like Marco Mengoni with let 3, a tongue in cheek trashy novelty act? They are in two completely different leagues and should not even be mentioned in the same sentence
this honestly is the case of a song that supports keeping the juries at Eurovision, for me it would be a sacrilege to see Queen of Kings win and this be placed 13th or something, it is just too good for whomever really knows music
all of you dont understand that Sanremo is more important for us than the Eurotrashy Song Contest.. didn't you ask why from 1996 to 2011 we missed Eurovision? because nobody care about Eurovision in Italy... songs are not made for Eurovision, but only for Italian listeners.. Sanremo is what we like.. eurovision is something that nobody follow or think about.. you should take in mind this before saying that is good uhm yes uhm ok uhm is an Italian Ballad.. yes it s an italian ballad cuz is made by an italian for italian listeners and for italian people.. and I don't like Mengoni but i like my Italian Ballads and I'm proud of it..
That's good to know. Even though Italy still stays one of the strongest contenteder in Eurovision. You always end up in top 10 so it's freaking good result regarding you don't care about the contest. Many countries would love to be that good. I'm not vibing with this one ballad as much as with Brividi but still it's propably top 10 entry.
Everyone knows that for italians is more important San Remo than eurovisión, but this doesnt change that we dont care at all about San Remo. That's what you need to bear in mind. We just talk about this song. Another masculine ballad and a worse one in comparison with the one you chose last year ( It was a masterpiece, finally bad executed,but a masterpiece). You should accept It. Its ok man. Just chill out. Not italian people doesnt care about San Remo and we can opine.
hahahah eurotrashy song contest!!! That was a good one. But, seriously, ESC has become much better in the last decade. The quality of the songs, performances, etc.. no comparison. In fact, Italy usually gets the top 1, or 3 or 5!! You've been doing so well and us the rest of europeans appreciate it so much! I mean, I'm spaniard and my country is been doing so badly on ESC. Here nobody cared about this contest excepting for the few eurofans. We mostly thought it was trash music. But since Euphoria won, everything changed. It became a huge international hit and yet, Spanish ESC delegation didn't care at all and we've been sending trash for many years with no expectations or support from the national public. And precisely thanks to entries like Italian's we've remained watching the big final anyways year over year! You should be proud of yourselves on ESC.. even though this year this ballad is not that catchy and vanguardist like Brividi.
@@gxbrielxdiaz you can't possibly say Brividi Was better than Due Vite... did you hear the Eurovision performance of Brividi? It was TRASH. At least Marco will Slay vocals and the song is great. Deserves top 5
Problema? Ma Sanremo nasce con tutt'altro intento! È nato PRIMA del concorso europeo (che si è ispirato proprio a Sanremo). E soprattutto nasce come festival della canzone italiana. La vittoria di una canzone, non è mai finalizzata all'ESC. Perché non ci è mai importato nulla dell'ESC anche se siamo tra i Paesi fondatori e l'idea del concorso è venuta proprio ad un italiano (Sergio Pugliese). Ce ne importava talmente tanto che per un bel pezzo abbiamo deciso di non partecipare. Pensa tu. Quindi no, non è un problema, è un vanto non perdere le nostre caratteristiche peculiari: le canzoni a Sanremo devono rispecchiare la nostra cultura senza nulla togliere a chi decide di fare diversamente
@@soloperandroid il "problema" è che abbiamo gusti musicali diversi: noi consideriamo la maggioranza delle canzoni all'esc, trash ! Loro invece le nostre delle ballate italiane noiose...
@@camporosso sono due cose diverse e secondo me incompatibili. Alcune canzoni all'esc sono belle, ma molte altre vincitrici erano di un livello infimo... ma magari il cantante indossava un costume buffo e ripeteva all'infinito lo stesso ritornello e gli spettatori e le giurie lo hanno votato in massa. A Sanremo conta meno la messa in scena e più la sostanza e quindi ecco il problema, se così vogliamo chiamarlo
😂Eccomi nuovamente per sottolineare ancora la tua sgarbata e supponente superficialità nell'aver dato un giudizio veramente ridicolo a Marco Mengoni e questo altro suo capolavoro. Il premio che ha ricevuto dalla critica e i fatti oggettivi della classifica confermano ulteriormente che dovrai fare ancora tanta strada ed esperienza in fatto di musica. Buona vita❤
Pour les italiens le festival de SanRemo est plus important que l'eurovision. En fait en italie il y a peu de gens qui regarde l'eurovision. Contrairement à d'autres pays les italiens chanteront toujours en italien car le texte est aussi important que la musique. Bravo aux italiens
Not only that, actually the Sanremo Festival requires as an obligatory rule that all songs must be written and presented in italian. Therefore you'll never, ever hear an english song in the Sanremo competition :)
the so-called "ballads" have their own specificity in the meaning of the text. (the lyrics). If we don't understand the meaning, we often can't enjoy these kinds of songs
Absolutely agree! This song is poetry, and unfortunatly eurovision public often look for stuff like slomo, Netta ecc... different tastes and contests. Sanremo remain Sanremo and it's non a national selection, also because it was the inspiration of eurovision.
A questa non va mai bene niente,possiamo anche portare la miglior canzone dell'intera storia della musica mondiale che non gli piacerebbe a prescindere 🤦🏻♂️ Sono anni che seguo le sue "reactions" e non c'è mai stata una volta che gli sia piaciuta una nostra canzone (forse solo quella dei Måneskin) e che abbia speso delle buone parole per noi 😒 Evidentemente odia l'Italia 🇮🇹 perché altrimenti non si spiega dato che praticamente ogni anno siamo gli unici che portiamo quasi sempre qualità e generi diversi. Antipatica e Altezzosa da morire 😒
There were so many good songs this year in the Sanremo festival. This was one of those, this song has a beautiful lyrics and if you understand Italian is very emotional like was "Fai rumore " from the Sanremo 2020, that unfortunately couldn't be played in the Eurovision cause covid. This is not the classic Italian ballata... Saying that can't wait to watch Eurovision to listen at more beautiful songs!
Premessa: Non ti deve piacere ogni canzone...se quest'anno sei nel mood cazzeggio ci sta... Detto questo ti dico che sei un tantino irrispettosa nei confronti del lavoro che c'è dietro questa canzone, l'artista e tutta la sua squadra. Minimizzare in questo modo dispregiativo dice molto su di te; Ripeto la tua opinione è importante ma quest'aria di supponenza proprio... irrispettosa.
Ma assolutamente no, per niente. Ognuno è libero di esprimere la propria opininione, sempre e comunque. Brava Noosh. La mancanza di rispetto è un'altra cosa.
Cara reazionaria non potrai mai capire la qualità e la profondità di certa musica. Con la tua espressione di insufficienza, hai fatto capire bene tutta la tua superficialità in fatto di "qualità". Buona vita.
Mengoni's song & singing were just too powerful not to win Sanremo. In Sanremo, you have to have everything, good lyrics included. OK, I speak Italian, it is amazing how much more you get if you understand what the song is about, given that lyrics are seldom shallow. Having said that, several other songs would have done better in Liverpool but that's OK. There is only one winner but Eurovision is about exposure, it's a chance to promote the artist and the country. For example, Konstrukta got lots of fans and worldwide recognition last year, something she could have only dreamed of, so I am sure she is pretty happy. Mengoni is guaranteed to get new fans too, and Europe gets another taste of Italy, even though it is not likely that this song will win. BTW, he'll have to shorten it by 30 seconds or so.
There are still people around who think that Sanremo is a musical competition to elect the song to be sent to Eurovision, maybe they don't know that the winning artist can refuse to compete for the ESC!
He already said that he will probably change the song or even write a new one for esc. Sanremo winner is not (automatically) Italy's esc entry like you said
FYI Marco and his team are thinking of changing the song to bring to Eurovision. They might use another bc there's nothing against this in the rules of Sanremo. They also know this isn't a Eurovision type song, I personally would have liked Lazza to win but Marco is a phenomenal singer and in any case I don't think he cares much for ESC. May is far so this isn't a priority
Sorry but Marco Mengoni was an other category!!!!!is music not show!!!!!music come from the heart and the soul!!!!You can't learn there! Either you have it or you watch and just keep quiet!!!!
Yeah I got the same reaction. Mengoni has a wonderful, wonderful voice, but Every song's like his other songs, the "classic italian ballad". However I'm curious cause he just said yesterday evening that he might not bring Due Vite at the Eurovision..let's see! Thanks for the reaction :3
I think one of the most common mistake that has often been made when determining the winner of Sanremo is choosing the singer and not the song. I mean, Mengoni has a beautiful voice, objectively, ok, and everyone talks about how good of a singer he is. But I've heard almost no one talking about how good this song was. It just sounds like any other Italian ballad, I agree.
Hello, I am Italian, when I first listened to this song it really didn't do anything for me. The day after it came up on a random playlist and since then I can't get it out of my head! I really, really like it. Maybe it's not immediate, which isn't great for Eurovision, but definitely worth listening to it a couple of times. P.S. although it's in my language I still haven't paid any attention to the lyrics. Ciao
I don't watch the reaction because I see your face on the thumbnail and it's not promising. Additionally I read some of the comments and I already understand here we have the same problem. Foreigners who don't know the Festival of Sanremo. Think it is the national selection, but it's not. The italian ballad is the typical italian genre. We probably invented it, considering Sanremo started in 1951 while Eurovision started in 1956, based on an idea of an italian, Mr. Pugliese. So Italy is the father of Eurovision. If you don't like this song, note Marco Mengoni can interpret whatever genre of music. He has a flexible voice, incredible voice range and crazy interpretation skills. And puts a lot of emotions when he sings. To know his vocal skills, just check his interpretation of Let It Be, performed on friday evening in the Sanremo duets and cover night, with the Kindgom Choir. You can find it on YT, in the RAI channel. Concerning Sanremo, for us is like the father and the mother together. While Eurovision is the cousin of 2 degree. We care only about the music, the vocal skills, the emotion, the capacity to involve the audience and transmit feelings. We don't care about the fakeness of all the presentation seen in Eurovision, the special effects, the props on stage. Etc.
actually we invented the "power ballad" style in 1965 with Pino Donaggio "Io che non vivo senza te". Ballads were sung around the world but in the typical "love me tender" style.
As an Italian, I can say with enough confidence that when choosing the winner of San Remo's Festival almost nobody thinks about what song is better for Eurovision. San Remo is much more important to us than Eurovision so we choose the songs which are better for a San Remo victory only. It is a completely separate Festival celebrating Italian music tradition only, with no ties to Eurovision, differently from other countries who have their own national selections for this kermesse. That is why our winners have the option not to partecipate. Because they never sang to go to Eurovision in the first place. We stayed out of it for many years and it wouldn't surprise me if it happened again
Come ho letto in un commento sotto un video che ora non ricordo: le canzoni a Sanremo con i testi e le musiche devono parlare ai cuori e devono avere un significato. Invece all'Eurovision prediligono lo spettacolo e l'orecchiabilità. I testi sono poco importanti, a loro frega solo che la messa in scena sia impattante
The problem for the exams is that each state sings in its own language and in fact it's called Eurovision otherwise it would be called differently it would be a whole other thing
@@MatthGulins8555 the thing is the lyrics of this song are nothing new either. They're nothing ground breaking surely, are they? The song speaks about the obstacles in a relationship between 2 people who like each other.
I appreciate the poetry but with everything that is going on at the moment - the war, the post-Covid world we're in, the sinking economies, the far-right government in Italy, human rights, the mafia in Sicily, the job uncertainties, the lack of opportunities for young people, the cost of properties, the cost of food, etc. etc. - I'm not finding this song particularly meaningful either.
It's not like the message Marco Mengoni is trying to convey is that extraordinary. It's all sounding very generic, very bland, innocuous, extremely safe and protective. I like the song, don't get me wrong. But I'm not blown away either. I won't be downloading it. Will Italians be remembering it in 6 months from now? I very much doubt it.
"Dovrei telefonarti
Dirti le cose che sento
Ma ho finito le scuse
E non ho più difese"
Thanks Marco, that's lovely lyrics.
Next.
Where is Rosa Chemical, up to much?? Maneskin?

I'm Spanish and I've been following Sanremo from 5 years now. Every time someone here assumes the winner goes to Eurovision as if it was a national selection I have to explain them the whole thing, exactly what you've just said. Sanremo is such a unique festival and music is the most important thing, as it should always be. I admire you for that. The week of Sanremo is one of the weeks I look most forward to during the whole year and I'm sad now that it is over 🥲🥰
Have you ever noticed how Italian songs have always the problem that they need to cut a part to fit in the three minutes required by ESC? That's because NONE of them is written or submitted in Sanremo Festival thinking of Eurovision, because the important thing, to every artist, IS Sanremo. And that's why they can even choose not to participate in ESC or to participate with a different song. We are happy if we do well in ESC, but during Sanremo Festival nobody really cares.
And that’s the most awesome thing! Keep being related to your own national music festival and tradition first, I can only cheer for this 👏
And for us It Is a sacrifice when we listen to our songs because we try to Imagine which par will be cut off, every single word Is importante for us
Esatto!!!
@@eliotcorrigan8112 Thank you so much for your words! 👏👏 🤗 They're so precious for us! 🙏 🤗🇮🇹
I legit think the Italians are right if they don't care about Eurovision :)) They were underrated so many times and it's a wonder Maneskin eventually managed to win it. They are classes above other songs that finish above them, at this point Sanremo clearly has a higher level than Eurovision imo, and I'm not Italian. Sanremo is way more of a true song contest than what Eurovision came to be in the last 2 years. Eurovision is just hype and show contest lately.
🙏♥️
Grazie 🙏🙏🙏
però anche a Sanremo spesso non vince chi realmente merita
Ti ringrazio per questo tuo commento. Hai descritto molto bene come viviamo Sanremo. E si, anche io penso che la qualità delle nostre canzoni non sono per la facciata pubblicitaria del Eurovision. Non rimaniamo in superficie con effetti speciali, ma devi avere la capacità e il coraggio di scendere nel profondo. La reazione così superficiale della signora qui sopra mi ha fatto capire chiaramente che per lei vanno bene i fuochi d'artificio. Spero tentò che vinca lo spessore e la profondità, la qualità e la professionalità e la piena pura e unica arte di Marco Mengoni. Gli italiani sulla musica sono molto esigenti. Grazie ancora. ❤️🙏
Gianluca Grignani, perdona loro perché non sanno quello che dicono 🙏🏻
Italia always chooses quality. Love our brothers, from Madridd!
Marcan la diferencia , desde luego .
Grazie! ❤️❤️❤️
Grazie
Thank you so much! Love from Italy❤️

A bit shouty? Seriously that’s my favorite part. That anger hit my soul. It conveys the message perfectly.
Marco is one of the best singers here in Italy at the moment. Italy chose him as the Sanremo's festival winner not because of Eurovision (Sanremo is not held for ESC selection) but because he was the best of the competition. Eurovision is a plus in his career made of 2.8 million records sold in Italy. He peaked the Italian albums chart seven consecutive times and entered the Top 10 Italian Singles Chart fifteen times. Moreover he won the 3rd season of XFactor Italy, two TRL Awards, nine Wind Music Awards and nine MTV Italian Music Awards. He still has to decide what song to present at the ESC competition. I think he will do very well in any case because of his talent and extraordinary voice.
Me encanta Marco, aún recuerdo su última actuación en Eurovisión, es una de mis canciones preferidas. Le deseo muchos éxitos
If we were thinking about sending somebody in europe we would vote for madame or lazza . They were with the right european vibes. But we are italian before we are european, so we like more the soul, vibrato and the voice of mengoni... that's all
Yes but the song nothing special to win Eurovision, lazza could have done better
@@ilefab4545 Esattamente 👏👏👏❤
In a TV interview, Mengoni stated that he would decide with the Italian delegation whether he would choose either another song or Due Vite.
We don't choose our Sanremo winner just for the ESC..
We can stay easly without ESC and Eurofans who expect ( fairly) music to dance and have fun,but in Italy we see music under a different shape.
to be honest, I don't understand why Italy keep to send song to Eurovision , we are clearly incompatible
I agree with you... Esc isn't anymore festival that is used to be. It's already full of trash and cheap dance music. If you're already more than 30 years you're too old for participation.... I'm sure Marco will represent Italy perfectly no matter what....
Ask these questions to Rosa Chemical!
You aren’t incompatible you won’t Eurovision only a few years ago
il problema è che non doveva vincere neanche sanremo, per quanto Mengoni sia bravissimo la canzone è veramente noiosa e uguale a tutte le altre, la scelta migliore per sanremo e per l'eurovision sarebbe stata Lazza, mentre se dovessimo guardare solo l'eurovision probabilmente con Rosa avremmo addirittura vinto...
@@jesrv7774 ha vinto col 54% dei voti,avrei preferito anche io Lazza..Ma la maggioranza decide e la votazione è stata chiara..Ha vinto un vero talento musicale e a me va benissimo, mi piace lo stesso...non piacerà agli Eurofans? STIGRANCAZZI
Love this song, everybody in Italy knew that Marco would win Sanremo after the first listen of Due Vite. I don't care if he won't win Esc, this song will remain in Italian memory forever
A perfect example of italian quality 😍💯
This country just never disappoints when it comes to music and Eurovision! Surely a possible winner and the biggest favorite so far!
Grazie!
Ma Sanremo è per noi il festival della canzone italiana.
È nato prima dell'eurofestival
E le canzoni sono scelte perché piacciono agli italiani.
Non ci interessa niente dell'eurofestival.
@@elleswan1 twitter disagrees. Once again literally all italians were talking about eurovision
@@wild_rose All Italians? Don't think so many Italians even don't know what it is...
@@wild_rose Che generalizzazioni noiose. Quanti erano?1000, 10.000 (ne dubito)?
Siamo quasi 60 milioni. Tutti gli italiani NON parlavano di ESC
E aggiungo che Sanremo è stato visto da appena 10 milioni di italiani (per intenderci: 1/6 della popolazione). "Tutti" gli italiani di Twitter saranno (ad essere molto generosi) qualche migliaio
@@elleswan1 parla per te. Perche parli al plurale?
Sanremo and Eurovision are brothers, but they are different, like all siblings are. They were always different, even in early days (not all the chansons were equal, they had subgenres too). They were both born in Italy, but with different aspirations: the first was born to promote Italian culture, the second to reunite Europe with the power of music. Sanremo's main focus is on lyrics and voice, in Eurovision the major focus is on stage and visuals. Without a perfect voice for your musical genre or without a meaningful song, you won't ever win Sanremo (it's happened only a few times in weak editions), in Eurovision you can still win if you have stunning visuals. Do you Eurofans ever thought of why Italy overperforms in Eurovision? I have your answer. They came easily top 10 because their vocal performances and lyrics are strong. They already start with an advantage against other countries which should manage out to fit a stage to the song or the artists they chosen. They have nothing in common, literally, nothing, just the fact they are both song contests. But separate song contests: Sanremo isn't a National Final for Eurovision, is more an Italian Song Contest, indipendent from Eurovision. When Italy didn't participate in Eurovision, Sanremo was there, every year, one week a year. Not to select a song for Europe, but to select a song for Italy. That explains why it isn't a simple National final and why Eurofans might be frustrated to see what Italians choose as their winner. Because they choose their winner, not what they think Europe may crown as a winner.
You've got a perfect analysis. It is exactly what you've said.
But, considering what is happening in the last times, because of the recent trends ruling today's musical "market" or "industry" 🤔 (i'm sorry, but I'm not able to explain it in other terms) and also ruling in many Eurovision kind of songs, I'm afraid (and i'm suspecting) this is already begin to influence and change (unfortunately in a negative way) the kind, and genre of music that we make. And the risk is "conforming" the style of the songs, getting lower quality songs, with loss of personality, charisma, melody, and so many other things on what Italian music is known about.
And this, in order to serve the discographic industry, to sell more, and more quickly.
So the result is going to be like so many more flat and meaningless songs, maybe catchy, maybe easy listening, but easy forgettable, and poor of quality. Even Sanremo is beginning to lose its quality and beauty with choosing songs that are no more good as some years ago (and i'm referring at not so many years ago, actually).
Marco is one of the few good artists that still can resist, (and Luckily he won!!! 🥳🥳) but we are already invaded by "artists" singing every stuff, which are chosen dispite of the real good songs from good artists, which we also have.
What a sadness 😢😢😢
@@SuperVicki82 claiming this after four stunning Sanremo's years means to understand nothing about music. Eurovision has always been kitsch, it's just Italians who found it out right now because they didn't even know the existence (just like you)
@@giovanniscg8540 scusami, non so se sei italiano, ma stavolta mi spiegherò in Italiano, così spero si capisca meglio.
Intendevo dire che considerando ad es. anche solo le edizioni di Sanremo tra il 2015 e il 2017, (per essere più precisi nel tempo di riferimento) si nota comunque una certa differenza nella scelta delle canzoni.
Già dal 2018, le cose hanno cominciato a cambiare.
A voler essere onesti, mi è sembrato che i pezzi più interessanti fossero di meno, rispetto a prima.
Ma non credo che un'affermazione del genere sia un buon pretesto per essere definiti "ignoranti totali in materia". Non esageriamo.
(E poi son cose che non si dicono, proprio per una questione di rispetto nei confronti degli altri).
Per quanto riguarda l'Eurovision, invece, non ci vuole molto per capire che tipo di spettacolo è e quali musiche predilige. (Eppure, lo stesso, ho cercato di informarmi in qualche modo.)
Però sarei più d'accordo se ogni paese facesse sé stesso, anziché copiare il trend del momento (per vendere più facilmente, come dicevo prima).
Non vorrei che per "esigenze eurovisive", la musica italiana si adatti sul modello Eurovision, con il rischio di spersonalizzarsi, anziché restare sé stessa, solo per "vendersi" meglio. (E a questo punto Sanremo che ci sta a fare, se deve produrre la stessa musica che c'è già a giro in abbondanza, al di fuori di Sanremo? 🤔)
Era questo che intendevo dire.
After 10 years, He will come to stage again! I am so proud of hım! Go Italy! 🇮🇹💚❤ I really like the song ❤💚🇮🇹
I'm in love with this song!!!. He's amazing singer and that voice.... uffff. Beautiful all. My favourite for Eurovision now. Forza Italia!!!!!
Greetings from Argentina ❤️👏👏
I'm broken inside yet completely healed after listening to this song! Marco's voice is unmatched! I believe him every word he's written, every breathe he's taking and every word he's singing! He probably is my fav Italian singer ever! I love every second of this song, goosebumps and teary eyes included.
Now it's second in the spotify for number of listens after Loreen. I think it was a huge success, it even won the award for best composition and 4° place without huge coreography. The text is something superlative. Very complex, it must be understood. Talk about psychology, the interaction between the conscious and subconscious, You have to listen to it, several times and spend some time even for an Italian who knows the language to understand, after that you can understand that is a masterpiece
Our beloved Mengoni is fourth in the standings and won the best composition award without the need for circuses and with great professionalism differently to many other countries, silencing you and all those who did not consider it suitable for Eurovision, evidently to Europe has excited here and there in the face of all the obvious stupidities that you said in the video marco is one of the greatest Italian singers ,pride for us
The music is art and Mengoni is clearly this.The Eurovision contest is only the show..For me is the great artist..🇮🇹
Totally agree 👏👏👏
This song looks like it has been stuck in 2000
When you Watch an event like this one you must know that it's not about music ...at all. Even Sanremo Is much more focused on looks and scandals but It sometimes has some "music" in, Eurovision Is funny but Extremely trash. It's pure entertainment and It has much more in common with a Carnivale parade than with a music festival. I think Mengoni Is a great Singer but I don't think his Song Is extraordinary, however it's weird hearing someone talking about It like it's competing for something "serious".
@@Artaudette and yet he came fourth, so shut up and stay in your uselessness 🥰
Ciccia...se non ti piace Mengoni sono affari tuoi ma sappi che ha un'estensione vocale che tanti cantanti professionisti in tutto il mondo vorrebbero avere.
E in Italia sono finiti i tempi delle canzoncine smielate con " amore " che fa rima con " cuore ".
Più umiltà mia cara.

Thank you for your honesty..appreciated. I know ballads are not really liked in Esc but they are part of our DNA and though Italian music is nowadays really diverse, it's really difficult that something different from a good ballad can win Sanremo.

I find it amazing that people who don't understand Italian make reviews like this. Try to understand these basic concepts: 1) Sanremo doesn't serve to bring out the champion for the ESC (which we care very little about). 2) Italians love well written lyrics, well done arrangements and beautiful voices. 3) Maneskin were a parenthesis, usually, if we look at ESC, it's to smile at tacky performances, poor lyrics and bad choreography.
It's an italian power ballad. Italian ballads are about expressing emotions, in this case the self-healing and the rage of a man that judges the many mistakes in his life. You always expect something revolutionary from Italy and then always fall in love with the average dancy/rocky song made by the latest international queenie joining ESC. Do you make the same questions to those singers who have been singing the same ole uninventive dance or rock song for the last ten years? In this sanremo you could listen to great groove and beats like Elodie, Madame, Rosa Chemical, Lazza, gIANMARIA and they all sound great and contemporary, but get over it, italians have their tastes and they have a soft spot for power ballads THAT is the style we created in the early 60es with songs like "io che non vivo/You don't have to say you love me". Power ballads are known to be raw and raging and soft, shouty and raw again. That's what italian passion is about. Would you say to any contemporary soul singers that they are predictable only because they sing a style that has been a household genre since the early 60es? Do you really consider Adele, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith or maneskin innovative? Just asking....
Il 90% di questi che reagiscono sono"braccia rubate all'agricoltura"
Couldn't have said it better! I understand that people might not find it interesting and even boring (not a fan of the song either) but I don't understand what's wrong with bringing a typical Italian ballad. Italy has brought so many different genres since its return to the competition, especially the last 4/5 years, and has always delivered. Meanwhile, I've never heard any complaints about Sweden being predictable and always bringing generic pop songs every single year. Anyways! Marco Mengoni is an amazing singer and he will make us proud regardless of how many points he'll get.
👏👏👏
👏👏👏
@@chiaraelisa4127 AMEN about Sweden!
I'm one of those people who voted for Marco these days and I'm happy about it. A beautiful song is not enough to win Sanremo, we love more the emotions and the POWER of the performance (the same power that led Maneskin to victory). in Sanremo we don't vote for "a genre", or "a typical ballad", we vote for what it shakes us via a television (just like everyone during the Eurovision) in this edition Marco stood out among everyone thanks to his high quality performance, music and text.
Maybe he's not your genre but we are sure about his talent ❤️
And btw, I would rather have avoided to send Mahmood and Blanco last year
Sanremo and Eurovision are two different things, the other states make a competition on purpose to choose their Eurovision candidate and it is often chosen to be sung in English...Sanremo is our national thing and the essence of certain Only we Italians understand songs like Mengoni's. In an interview Mengoni didn't rule out the possibility of bringing a different song that fits better to Eurovision
This Is far the best Song in ESC, the other can't be compared. I mean ... Vocal, sounds... It's a real Song.
Noooosh, how many times we have to tell you that Sanremo is Sanremo! It’s ALSO how we choose our Eurovision entry, but it’s not its main purpose
He did quite well in the end😉
I love this song and god pls bless this singer, so touching. this is Italy, always good quality. LOVE IT!
Ho paura che mano mano che le nuove generazioni cresceranno, voteranno a Sanremo non la canzone che considerano più bella, ma quella che secondo loro avrà maggiori possibilità di vincere l'Eurovision. Già adesso sta cominciando questa tendenza.
Sarebbe una tragedia per la musica italiana!!!
Forse è il caso che Sanremo si stacchi dall'esc oppure che vengano avviate due votazioni differenti: una per scegliere la canzone vincitrice e un'altra per scegliere la canzone da inviare all'Eurovision.... Forse così riusciremo a limitare i danni...
ma chi è questa da dire che mengoni non è nulla di eccezionale?
L'unico che si dovrebbe staccare da Sanremo è Amadeus. Scherzi a parte,condivido pienamente il tuo ragionamento
Totalmente d'accordo sul dividere le votazioni!
Comunque a lei le ballate italiane non piacciono in generale , ha sempre avuto questo atteggiamento di noia / schifo anche con diodato e mahmood
@@linacrisanti7433 Comunque può starci: culture diverse, diversi gusti musicali. Nessun rancore con nessuno! Certamente mi stupisce sentire dire che la canzone croata (col massimo rispetto per i croati) è migliore di quella di Mengoni, ma i gusti son gusti...
Quality !!! Bravo Italia ! Ciao Di portogallo !
Obrigado!
Sorry everyone, but I believe that as an Italian for me whoever wins San Remo and not that goes to Euro Vision ... for years we did not worry about ESC, only 2 years ago, thanks you have Manskin, we all remembered that it existed Also this festival considered of Serie B for us.
If Mengoni goes there or not and changes the song or not, honestly it is not important !!!
Long live the beautiful songs that give us emotions and pleasure from any country come and in any language they are sung.
Les deux vies dont parle Mengoni sont nos deux personnalitées primaires qui composent notre identité , l'une basé sur nos instincts, l'autre sur notre raisonnement , non pas que l'une soit meilleur que l'autre mais qu'il y ait tout du moins une bonne "ambiance". Je ne reviens pas sur l'avis de cette personne qui dit ne pas aimer les balades , franchement on s'en fout , elle doit surement aimer les provocateurs ou peut etre le bling bling bref certainement pas la bonne musique , balade ou pas.
Perfetto! È esattamente così! ❤️❤️
Sanremo is way more Important than Eurovision.
per gli Italiani sicuro
I find it interesting that they automatically give the Sanremo winner the first dibs at Eurovision when the competitions are so different. It seems to me it would make sense to offer a separate voting for Italians for which song should win Sanremo and which should be sent to Eurovision
Very few people here in Italy would watch a separate selection and nobody would vote, RAI would not have an economic return.
Marco Mengoni has declared to the Italian press that he will not bring two lives to EUROVISION 2023 but probably another song in English in fact whoever wins Sanremo has the possibility to change the song
too much editing, too much. Many lyrics and sounds missing. Please listen to whole song before judging thanks.
Capisci di musica quanto io di fisica nucleare
Quality for me. Nuances and melodies. 12 points.
This is music, eurofestival is a circus
thanks for the reaction, Marco Mengoni like the Maneskin was launched by XFactor Italia years ago. he has a beautiful voice, I suggest you watch his performance in Sanremo in the evening of singing duets, he sang a beautiful version of let It be accompanied by an American gospel group
I loved the come back '68 dress. It's not easy to come back after 10 years in front of the audience, like Elvis did 50 years ago. I think this dress helped him emotionally to give him more confidence.
I'd prefer a '69
Well... from Mengoni at least
Anyway thanks for your video.
Marco is the most beautiful male voice we have in Italy, he is known as a very sweet, sensitive and emotional guy, which makes him even more special. During the Festival he had a fever and sinusitis, despite this he sang wonderfully! ❤️
The songs presented in Sanremo are meant to be the best Italian song and not for Eurovision, where a different style often prevails (funny/trash songs), but this is real music and he could win. The song is about the inner conflict we all struggle with, that's why he feels the song very much in his heart while singing it. The text speaks of two parts of the same person, the conscious and the unconscious that talk to each other, the life of dreams that collides with that of reality (just "Due vite", "two lives").
Truly a deep and emotional meaning, a beautiful music that together with the text take the audience into a dreamlike scenario. Furthermore Marco is an excellent interpreter, this makes the difference and makes this song perfect, because he transmits all the emotions to the audience that watches and listens to him, even to a foreign audience that does not understand the Italian language and this says everything about what a great artist is Marco.
it's a pity the fandom doesn't appreciate it, but thankfully there will be millions among the Eurovision viewers that will love Marco's song
@@chrisperry5365 Thank you 🙏 Everyone has their own tastes but associating Marco with that face with that expression she put in the video is just propaganda. Marco is defined by the experts as an alien because his technique is perfect, he manages to do things with his voice considered very difficult for a human being, and all the other videos of foreigners who review this song say the same thing, they cry, get emotional, have the creeps, they say it's impossible to change his voice like he does, from acute to heavy, and instead in this video she says that he screams 😂 that's why I also wrote another comment in which I said that either this girl doesn't understand anything about music , or is just doing propaganda, and I had put the links of the experts who analyzed the song, but she has deleted my comments more than once, and maybe she will delete this too. It's one thing to prefer another genre or think that a song is not suitable for Eurovision trash because it's a song on a higher level and of a different style, and another thing to say technically wrong things about singing and put that expression while talking about the best singer we have in Italy. Among other things, foreigners often get confused about one thing, the others make songs based on Eurovision, the Italians instead do it for Sanremo and to elect the best Italian song, for us Eurovision is just one more thing. Sanremo is the father of Eurovision because they were inspired by our festival which has been around for many years before. This is a musical culture that the girl in the video doesn't know.
@@Io88888 I agree with what you said, though I don't think unsatisfactory reactions like this one are ill intended. Everyone has their own personal tastes even when it comes to objectively good songs (like Due vite). But yeah, the Eurovision mindsets such as having biases towards bop or ethnic or quirky songs regardless of how good they are then having a bias against "safe" songs or ballads (there's also a lot of misandry in the fandom especially when it comes to male ballads - everybody loves Alika's ballad but they hate on Marco's and Greece's, Switzerland's and Cyprus' ballads) is really annoying and insulting towards those artists and how they choose to express their artistry. I love Eurovision for how diverse it is, but I hate that part of the fandom who thinks they support diversity when in fact they just want every country to send a circus act.
@@chrisperry5365 Exactly, but I don't dispute her musical taste but the lack of understanding of music if you say that an artist like Marco is wrong because he screams, in a point of the song where everyone gets excited and the experts describe a beautiful and very difficult change of voice, praising his technique. Furthermore, I repeat that the face he put on the cover of the video is propaganda, because when there is such a good artist with such beautiful music you cannot put that expression which is not objective, even if you prefer music of a lower and more trashy. The foreigners I've heard love Italian ballads, because they indicate them as a higher level of music, as art. Evidently there is a part of the fandom that, as you say, loves trash, but even if they prefer another genre they must remain objective on the quality of what they are listening to, otherwise they look like those who don't know about music, like video girl.
@@Io88888 I forgot to adress the part about his vocals in your previous comments. Once again, I agree what you said. I saw some people saying similar things about Iceland's performer, that she's screaming when she sings, when in fact she's so well accustomed to what she's doing that she's even studied every throat muscle that has anything to do with the voice. This channel did actually enjoy her performance while saying that kind of stuff about Marco. So there's definitely bias against him.
I don't know how Mengoni's song gets abroad, but I find it beautiful, full of passion and musicality. Listening to the others in demo I think it's among the top 2!! (if not the best, many songs are too electronic, ash from Laza could also participate for the style of this Eurovision Song Contest 2023)
I’m from the Town where this festival is celebrated and I’m very proud of living here. And I love that even the strangers are loving it.
Sei di Sanremo? Una curiosità, come vivete voi sanremesi la settimana del festival ? Non vi da un po' fastidio questa invasione di migliaia di persone ? La verità 😃
@@xixixi5532 assolutamente si. Tutti i controlli e i turisti soni veramente fastidiosi. A volte per andare in via Matteotti (la via dove c’è l’Ariston) si può fare anche un’ora di coda. Ci sono degli abitanti che odiano il festival proprio per questo. Invece altre persone tipo me, sono onorate di vivere in questa città.
@@marlenebruzzone Lo posso immaginare. Dev'essere pesante trovarsi la città invasa, dover affrontare code e controlli. Per fortuna dura solo una settimana 😃
@@xixixi5532 già 🤣🤣🤣
Per me è già una rottura quando passa il Giro d'Italia sopra casa mia, non oso immaginare per voi di Sanremo durante tutto il Festival che chaos deve essere! Però vi ringrazio perchè quella rimane sempre una bella settimana per stare incollata alla tv 😂
Me and noosh probably wouldn’t get along because most of my perceptions about music are too different to hers.
Most of the stuff I hate she heaps praise upon such as Theodor Andrei but then she criticises the songs that I love like this.
Also how can you possibly compare a polished high quality singer-songwriter like Marco Mengoni with let 3, a tongue in cheek trashy novelty act?
They are in two completely different leagues and should not even be mentioned in the same sentence
Our Proud Marco🤩👏masterpiece😍💖thank you for your reaction...greetins from Italy💝😘
this honestly is the case of a song that supports keeping the juries at Eurovision, for me it would be a sacrilege to see Queen of Kings win and this be placed 13th or something, it is just too good for whomever really knows music
When I hear Queen of the Kings I really wonder if It Is normal to partecipate with such completely different songs. They are Two different planets.
Alessandra è fantastica, merita di vincere!
@@kevinrusso7813 nah it's just an overhyped song and singer
all of you dont understand that Sanremo is more important for us than the Eurotrashy Song Contest.. didn't you ask why from 1996 to 2011 we missed Eurovision? because nobody care about Eurovision in Italy... songs are not made for Eurovision, but only for Italian listeners.. Sanremo is what we like.. eurovision is something that nobody follow or think about.. you should take in mind this before saying that is good uhm yes uhm ok uhm is an Italian Ballad.. yes it s an italian ballad cuz is made by an italian for italian listeners and for italian people.. and I don't like Mengoni but i like my Italian Ballads and I'm proud of it..
That's good to know. Even though Italy still stays one of the strongest contenteder in Eurovision. You always end up in top 10 so it's freaking good result regarding you don't care about the contest. Many countries would love to be that good. I'm not vibing with this one ballad as much as with Brividi but still it's propably top 10 entry.
Everyone knows that for italians is more important San Remo than eurovisión, but this doesnt change that we dont care at all about San Remo. That's what you need to bear in mind. We just talk about this song. Another masculine ballad and a worse one in comparison with the one you chose last year ( It was a masterpiece, finally bad executed,but a masterpiece). You should accept It. Its ok man. Just chill out. Not italian people doesnt care about San Remo and we can opine.
Why are you italians always so sensitive?
hahahah eurotrashy song contest!!! That was a good one. But, seriously, ESC has become much better in the last decade. The quality of the songs, performances, etc.. no comparison. In fact, Italy usually gets the top 1, or 3 or 5!! You've been doing so well and us the rest of europeans appreciate it so much! I mean, I'm spaniard and my country is been doing so badly on ESC. Here nobody cared about this contest excepting for the few eurofans. We mostly thought it was trash music. But since Euphoria won, everything changed. It became a huge international hit and yet, Spanish ESC delegation didn't care at all and we've been sending trash for many years with no expectations or support from the national public. And precisely thanks to entries like Italian's we've remained watching the big final anyways year over year! You should be proud of yourselves on ESC.. even though this year this ballad is not that catchy and vanguardist like Brividi.
@@gxbrielxdiaz you can't possibly say Brividi Was better than Due Vite... did you hear the Eurovision performance of Brividi? It was TRASH. At least Marco will Slay vocals and the song is great. Deserves top 5
Il problema delle canzoni italiane che vanno all'Eurovision è che non sono pensate per vincere all'Eurovision, ma a Sanremo...
Problema? Ma Sanremo nasce con tutt'altro intento! È nato PRIMA del concorso europeo (che si è ispirato proprio a Sanremo). E soprattutto nasce come festival della canzone italiana. La vittoria di una canzone, non è mai finalizzata all'ESC. Perché non ci è mai importato nulla dell'ESC anche se siamo tra i Paesi fondatori e l'idea del concorso è venuta proprio ad un italiano (Sergio Pugliese). Ce ne importava talmente tanto che per un bel pezzo abbiamo deciso di non partecipare. Pensa tu. Quindi no, non è un problema, è un vanto non perdere le nostre caratteristiche peculiari: le canzoni a Sanremo devono rispecchiare la nostra cultura senza nulla togliere a chi decide di fare diversamente
Ma chissenefrega, devi fare la canzonetta pop dance x l esc? ma stikazzi
@@soloperandroid il "problema" è che abbiamo gusti musicali diversi: noi consideriamo la maggioranza delle canzoni all'esc, trash ! Loro invece le nostre delle ballate italiane noiose...
E sarebbe un problema? Sanremo è superiore ad Eurovision.
@@camporosso sono due cose diverse e secondo me incompatibili. Alcune canzoni all'esc sono belle, ma molte altre vincitrici erano di un livello infimo... ma magari il cantante indossava un costume buffo e ripeteva all'infinito lo stesso ritornello e gli spettatori e le giurie lo hanno votato in massa. A Sanremo conta meno la messa in scena e più la sostanza e quindi ecco il problema, se così vogliamo chiamarlo
Forza Marco 💪🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Marco..meraviglioso
Love this song!
Marco is the best singer of our generation here in Italy
True.
It also possible that he won't submit this song. He did an interview the other day saying he might choose something else.
The lyrics are so beautiful, it's not sure he goes to Eurovision. In a TV interview he was most interested to create his new album.
😂Eccomi nuovamente per sottolineare ancora la tua sgarbata e supponente superficialità nell'aver dato un giudizio veramente ridicolo a Marco Mengoni e questo altro suo capolavoro. Il premio che ha ricevuto dalla critica e i fatti oggettivi della classifica confermano ulteriormente che dovrai fare ancora tanta strada ed esperienza in fatto di musica. Buona vita❤
12 points 💪🏻
Pour les italiens le festival de SanRemo est plus important que l'eurovision. En fait en italie il y a peu de gens qui regarde l'eurovision. Contrairement à d'autres pays les italiens chanteront toujours en italien car le texte est aussi important que la musique. Bravo aux italiens
Not only that, actually the Sanremo Festival requires as an obligatory rule that all songs must be written and presented in italian.
Therefore you'll never, ever hear an english song in the Sanremo competition :)
the so-called "ballads" have their own specificity in the meaning of the text. (the lyrics). If we don't understand the meaning, we often can't enjoy these kinds of songs
Beati monoculi in terra caecorum.
Figurati se sta decerebrata capisce cos'hai scritto
If she likes Eurotrash music, she cannot like this song. This seems evident.
Absolutely agree! This song is poetry, and unfortunatly eurovision public often look for stuff like slomo, Netta ecc... different tastes and contests. Sanremo remain Sanremo and it's non a national selection, also because it was the inspiration of eurovision.
Ma hai capito quello che ha detto in inglese? perché sembrate di coccio.
Shallow reaction, sadly.
A questa non va mai bene niente,possiamo anche portare la miglior canzone dell'intera storia della musica mondiale che non gli piacerebbe a prescindere 🤦🏻♂️
Sono anni che seguo le sue "reactions" e non c'è mai stata una volta che gli sia piaciuta una nostra canzone (forse solo quella dei Måneskin) e che abbia speso delle buone parole per noi 😒
Evidentemente odia l'Italia 🇮🇹 perché altrimenti non si spiega dato che praticamente ogni anno siamo gli unici che portiamo quasi sempre qualità e generi diversi.
Antipatica e Altezzosa da morire 😒
Hai ragione ha avuto lo stesso atteggiamento di noia / schifo anche con diodato e mahmood
Menuda cara de asco pone , muy desagradable .
@@linacrisanti7433 Brividi le è piaciuta veramente. E pure Occidentali's Karma.
@@Vlad-vh4zk neanche Brividi l'aveva fatta impazzire 😂
Non è vero, ama l'Italia come visto in altri video, dipende dal genere il giudizio e io condivido in questo caso per esempio
Molto snob questa Signorina. Salta secondi di musica, dice 4 parole e non spiega nulla sui punti forti o debboli della canzone. E poi sentenzia.
React Mengoni to Sanremo Festival 23 whit Kingdom Choir in "Let It Be". This's CRAZY performance!
He is sooo handsome ☺️
There were so many good songs this year in the Sanremo festival. This was one of those, this song has a beautiful lyrics and if you understand Italian is very emotional like was "Fai rumore " from the Sanremo 2020, that unfortunately couldn't be played in the Eurovision cause covid. This is not the classic Italian ballata... Saying that can't wait to watch Eurovision to listen at more beautiful songs!
Premessa: Non ti deve piacere ogni canzone...se quest'anno sei nel mood cazzeggio ci sta... Detto questo ti dico che sei un tantino irrispettosa nei confronti del lavoro che c'è dietro questa canzone, l'artista e tutta la sua squadra. Minimizzare in questo modo dispregiativo dice molto su di te; Ripeto la tua opinione è importante ma quest'aria di supponenza proprio... irrispettosa.
Ma assolutamente no, per niente. Ognuno è libero di esprimere la propria opininione, sempre e comunque. Brava Noosh. La mancanza di rispetto è un'altra cosa.
Cara reazionaria non potrai mai capire la qualità e la profondità di certa musica. Con la tua espressione di insufficienza, hai fatto capire bene tutta la tua superficialità in fatto di "qualità". Buona vita.
Mengoni's song & singing were just too powerful not to win Sanremo. In Sanremo, you have to have everything, good lyrics included. OK, I speak Italian, it is amazing how much more you get if you understand what the song is about, given that lyrics are seldom shallow. Having said that, several other songs would have done better in Liverpool but that's OK. There is only one winner but Eurovision is about exposure, it's a chance to promote the artist and the country. For example, Konstrukta got lots of fans and worldwide recognition last year, something she could have only dreamed of, so I am sure she is pretty happy. Mengoni is guaranteed to get new fans too, and Europe gets another taste of Italy, even though it is not likely that this song will win. BTW, he'll have to shorten it by 30 seconds or so.
Ma hai ascoltato bene?
Marco Mengoni. The best One ...perfect
Perché avete paura dell' Italia???? A livello canoro Mengoni non è in dietro di nessuno, bellissima voce con un tono altissimo
il pubblico vuole la svezia
@@kirkhoffman3945 il pubblico voleva la Finlandia, la Svezia non ha preso neanche un 12 points
Eccellente prestazione! Grande voce.Super.
Madame was good for Eurovision? We don't care! We choose our best song not for ESC, but for Italy
There are still people around who think that Sanremo is a musical competition to elect the song to be sent to Eurovision, maybe they don't know that the winning artist can refuse to compete for the ESC!
A bit shouty ..... maybe a few Italian lessons would help u analyze the song and give it a real review
@noosh101 what do you think of the song in third position in San Remo 2023? Mr Rain ❤
I agree, Madame was the best song overall. They made a song together :) a very good one named "Mi Fidero'" 🙂
He already said that he will probably change the song or even write a new one for esc. Sanremo winner is not (automatically) Italy's esc entry like you said
It's a nice ballad but indeed, I prefer Madame !
Cool reaction video! ^^
Non ti piace questa canzone? E sticazzi 🤣🤣🤣
Noosh please react to Polish 1 of 10 choices for "Tu bije serce europy 2023".
It's *JANN - GLADIATOR*
FYI Marco and his team are thinking of changing the song to bring to Eurovision. They might use another bc there's nothing against this in the rules of Sanremo. They also know this isn't a Eurovision type song, I personally would have liked Lazza to win but Marco is a phenomenal singer and in any case I don't think he cares much for ESC. May is far so this isn't a priority
Great Marco
Trust me ... if u know the meaning of this song u ll never stop to listen to it.
you need to watch let it be, that marco sang with the kingdom choir
The Italian language was made to be sung.
Sorry but Marco Mengoni was an other category!!!!!is music not show!!!!!music come from the heart and the soul!!!!You can't learn there! Either you have it or you watch and just keep quiet!!!!
Un po' scazzata la tipa.....
Sembrava in fila alla posta
For us Sanremo is much more important than Eurovision...
Yeah I got the same reaction. Mengoni has a wonderful, wonderful voice, but Every song's like his other songs, the "classic italian ballad". However I'm curious cause he just said yesterday evening that he might not bring Due Vite at the Eurovision..let's see! Thanks for the reaction :3
I think one of the most common mistake that has often been made when determining the winner of Sanremo is choosing the singer and not the song. I mean, Mengoni has a beautiful voice, objectively, ok, and everyone talks about how good of a singer he is. But I've heard almost no one talking about how good this song was. It just sounds like any other Italian ballad, I agree.
Grande grande voce. Marco fantastico
Hello, I am Italian, when I first listened to this song it really didn't do anything for me. The day after it came up on a random playlist and since then I can't get it out of my head! I really, really like it. Maybe it's not immediate, which isn't great for Eurovision, but definitely worth listening to it a couple of times. P.S. although it's in my language I still haven't paid any attention to the lyrics. Ciao
I don't watch the reaction because I see your face on the thumbnail and it's not promising. Additionally I read some of the comments and I already understand here we have the same problem. Foreigners who don't know the Festival of Sanremo. Think it is the national selection, but it's not. The italian ballad is the typical italian genre. We probably invented it, considering Sanremo started in 1951 while Eurovision started in 1956, based on an idea of an italian, Mr. Pugliese. So Italy is the father of Eurovision. If you don't like this song, note Marco Mengoni can interpret whatever genre of music. He has a flexible voice, incredible voice range and crazy interpretation skills. And puts a lot of emotions when he sings. To know his vocal skills, just check his interpretation of Let It Be, performed on friday evening in the Sanremo duets and cover night, with the Kindgom Choir. You can find it on YT, in the RAI channel. Concerning Sanremo, for us is like the father and the mother together. While Eurovision is the cousin of 2 degree. We care only about the music, the vocal skills, the emotion, the capacity to involve the audience and transmit feelings. We don't care about the fakeness of all the presentation seen in Eurovision, the special effects, the props on stage. Etc.
actually we invented the "power ballad" style in 1965 with Pino Donaggio "Io che non vivo senza te". Ballads were sung around the world but in the typical "love me tender" style.
Noosh Grazie !!!!! Saluti dall Italia !!!💓💋
I’m sorry Noosh but when people will vote on the night… they will eat this up. Another easy top 5 for Italy
no, italy 8-15 top this year sure
