Sanremo 2025: the report cards of the duets and covers

In some editions, it was the funniest evening: it is that of the covers and the duets. Will it be like this to this tour too? This year on Friday it does not count for the final classification, but there will still be a winning song, voted by all juries.

On stage, together with Carlo Conti, in the role of Co-Conductors, also Mahmood and Geppi Cucciari. As a musical guest Antonello Venditti, who will receive the career prize. The evening opens with Roberto Benigni, announced today. Rockol is among the accredited newspapers and we will vote from the press room: here, live, our report cards, as the singers perform.

Gaia with Toquihno: “The desire and the madness”: 6

Gaia presents a song by Ornella Vanoni with an icon of Brazilian music: the result is a sound full of colors that surrounds, but up to a certain point.

Irama with Arisa: “Say Something”: 7
Arisa’s perfect voice and the lower one of Irama merge well together, the arrangement is minimal, especially in the first part, and does not invade the song. Bravi.

Serena Brancale with Alessandra Amoroso: “If I Ain’t Got You”: 6

If you sing Alicia Keys, play with fire. The interpretation holds, the two singers do not disfigure, but it is not enough to keep the vowels open to fully recall the black world of the winning singer -songwriter of Seventeen Grammy Awards.

Lucio Corsi with Topo Gigio: “In the blue painted blue”: 9
Game, set, match. Great idea, great song, great staging, respectful of a classic, with an original touch (the Blues harmonica) and references to the history of TV (here our interview with the history of the song and Topo Gigio).

Francesca Michielin and Rkomi: “The new Broadway star”: 6
First enough of the evening: a nice piece of Cremonini, played without overdoing it, with a beautiful harmony between the two friends and singers.

Noemi and Tony Effe: “Everything else is boredom”: 4
Tony Effa more than “doing calfano”, seems involved in a school play. Noemi, with his scratched voice, gives the coup de grace to an interpretation that deserves a completely different charisma and attitude.

Clara with the flight: “The sound of silence”: 4

Intense looks and ugles stretched out: they try to transform a minimal classic into a soundtrack by James Bond, but it looks like a Christmas concert recorded in August.

Modà with Francesco Renga: “Angelo”: 5
A beautiful song that is too “screamed”, goes over the lines and to the traits derail.

Rose Villain with Chiello: “Pink flowers, peach flowers”: 5
Rose, despite some smudges, fills the stage and song by Lucio Battisti, Chiello instead appears several steps back: not only does not affect, but dirty the performance, making it dozen and karaoke.

The Kolors with Sal da Vinci: “Lipstick and coffee”
Marcella Bella with Twin Violins: “The emotion has no voice”
Rocco Hunt with Clementino: “Yes I Know My Way”
Francesco Gabbani with Tricarico: “I am Francesco”
Giorgia with Annalisa: “Skyfall”
Simone Cristicchi with Amara: “The cure”
Sarah Toscano with Ofenbach: “Overdrive”
Coma_cose with Johnson Righeira: “Summer is ending”
Joan Thiele with Frah Quintale: “What’s there”
Olly with Goran Bregović and Wedding & Funeral Band: “The fisherman”
Elodie and Achille Lauro: “Gradually” and “crazy city”
Massimo Ranieri with Neri by chance: “When”
Willie Peyote with Tiromancino, DitonellaPiaga: “A small time”
Brunori Sascon Riccardo Sinigallia and Dimartino: “The year that will come”
Fedez with Marco Masini: “Beautiful bitch”
Bresh with Cristiano De André: “Crêuza de mä”
Shablo ft. Guè, Joshua, torment with Neffa: “Amor de Mi Vida” and “Waiting for the sun”
