Canzonissima: the lineup of the second episode

ByJohn

“The dedication” will be the theme of the second episode of Canzonissima, the remake of the historic Rai variety show, hosted by Milly Carlucci. The second appointment with the show – after last Saturday’s debut: 22.5% share equal to 2,582,000 viewers – will be broadcast this evening live from the Rai Auditorium of the Foro Italico. The lineup has not yet been announced, but the pairings between the songs that will be performed and the performers have been announced.

Enrico Ruggeri – “What women don’t say” by Fiorella Mannoia (but co-signed by Ruggeri himself together with Luigi Schiavone)
Fabrizio Moro – “Fragile Soul” by Vasco Rossi
Leo Gassmann – “Tanto pe’ cantà” (by Ettore Petrolini and Alberto Simeoni, known to most in the interpretation of Nino Manfredi)
Michele Bravi – “If I were an angel” by Lucio Dalla
Fausto Leali – “At least you in the universe” by Mia Martini
Malika Ayane – “Fotoromanza” by Gianna Nannini
Irene Grandi – “The cannon woman” by Francesco De Gregori
Elettra Lamborghini – “High tide” by Antonello Venditti
Arisa – “The football draft of the class of ’68” by Francesco De Gregori
Vittorio Grigolo – “And the stars shone”, from Tosca by Giacomo Puccini
Paolo Jannacci – “I’m coming too” by Enzo Jannacci
Jalisse – “Forever Yes” by Sal Da Vinci

The Canzonissima of the episode will be chosen by three voting members: a jury of personalities from the world of entertainment (Claudio Cecchetto, Francesca Fialdini, Pierluigi Pardo, Riccardo Rossi, Simona Izzo, Caterina Balivo and Giacomo Maiolini), the singers themselves (who will be able to vote for their favorite song excluding their own) and the public (through “hearts” and “likes” on social media: the same voting mechanism as “Dancing with the Stars”).

The first episode, last Saturday, was won by Fabrizio Moro with “Il mio canto libero” by Lucio Battisti.
