Lucio Corsi’s first performance in Eurovision
The first semifinal of the Eurovision Song Contest took place in Basel: from the first 15 competitors we have the first 10 finalists who access the evening of Saturday 17. Lucio Corsi also performed, out of the race: Italy accesses the final as part of the Big 5, the founding countries of the ABO that organizes the show – together with the host country, Switzerland.
Corsi represents our country with “I wanted to be a tough”, a song outside the heurovisual patterns brought to the stage with subtitles to make the story understand and with a simple scenography, with two giant amps, the same that uses as the background of its tour. He added to the song an axial of harmonica – live like his voice and Tommaso Ottomano, who accompanies him on stage. Music, as always at Eurovision, is pre -aggravated.
In the race, this evening, there was a lot of Italy: Gabry Ponte represents San Marino with the Sanremo “Jingle” “All of Italy”; Tommy Cash, competing for Estonia, with the song-meme “Espresso stained” full of references to our country; And the Skodra Elektronique, competing for Albania, are Albanian but raised in Italy – with the former keyboardist of the Teatro degli Orroori. §
And all of them went to the final, together with the favorite, Sweden.
These are the first 10 finalists (in random order, the ranking is not revealed).
Norway – Kyle Alessandro – “Lighter”
Albania – Shkodra Elektronike – “Zjerm”
