The titles of the 30 songs by the big names in the competition were revealed in the episode of “Sarà Sanremo” broadcast yesterday on Rai 1.
An evening that also decreed which will be the four New Proposals (reintroduced for 2025 by artistic director Carlo Conti) ready to tread the stage of the Ariston: the duo Vale Lp and Lil Jolie (with the song Dimmi tu quando sei pronto per fare l'amore), Alex Wyse (with Rockstar), Settembre (with Vertebre) and Maria Tomba with Goodbye (voglio good vibes), the first from the selections of Sanremo Giovani, the last from Area Sanremo.
Mew, Selmi, Angelica Bove and Etra, on the other hand, had to say goodbye to their dream of going on stage at the Ariston.
In the evening hosted by Carlo Conti, who returns to host the festival, eyes are on Tony Effe, due to the heated controversy of the last few days, with the exclusion by the Municipality from the New Year's concert in Rome (followed by the withdrawal in solidarity and against any type of censorship of Mahmood and Mara Sattei). "I'm a little emotional, yes, even if the real emotion will come later, but I already feel it", said the trapper, underlining - perhaps to tone down the accusations of violence in his lyrics - that his song, entitled "Damme 'na mano", "is a personal, romantic and passionate song".
It's hard to tell from the headlines what kind of atmosphere the festival will have, but last night for many, especially for the artists performing at the Ariston for the first time like Emis Killa or the youngest of the lineup Sarah Toscano , the emotion was already tangible . And there were also those, like Massimo Ranieri, who made his debut on that stage at the age of seventeen in 1968, who couldn't hold back his emotion at the standing ovation that the audience at the Teatro del Casinò in Sanremo gave him.
Francesco Gabbani revealed that his “Viva la vita” is a celebration of life, and life with its surprises and the instinct to guide everything is also the fil rouge of the Kolors with “Tu con chi fai l'amore”. Among the new entries also Brunori SAS who is ready to put himself «to the test in a context in which we all grew up». A smile was drawn from Guè, who will be with Shablo, Joshua and Tormento . «How do I feel in the competition? But why am I in the competition? I didn't understand».
Olly and Clara recalled the experience on that same stage, competing for a place at the Ariston by participating in Sanremo Giovan i. Simone Cristicchi, a past winner, promises emotions and tenderness with a song dedicated to children who, as they grow up, become parents of their mother (Quando sarai piccola). Titles in dialect for Serena Brancale (Anema e core) and Rocco Hunt (Mille vote ancora) that announce songs full of rhythm.
Fedez, on the other hand, fights his personal demons and explains that his song (Battito) «is a dichotomy: a love song dedicated to a woman, but that woman is personified in depression» . But from Pelle Diamante by Marcella Bella to Dimenticarsi alle 7 by Elodie, passing through Fuorilegge by Rose Villain, the puzzle of the songs is still to be solved.
As hypothesized, the 31st Big in the competition , announced with a quip by Conti, was in reality the duo Leonardo Pieraccioni-Alessandro Siani, in the studio to promote the new film “Io e te Abbiamo Parlare”, in theaters from December 19th.
