Sanremo, the titles of the Big songs and the new proposals
Few revelations from the song titles, some surprises among the young people at “Sarà sanremo”: it was a long evening that saw the big names on the catwalk at the Teatro del Casino and decreed the 4 new proposals, which will compete in a separate competition in February . They will be Vale LP and Lil Jolie, Alex Wyse and September. Mew and Selmi eliminated, given among the favorites and Angelica Bove. She passed from Area Sanremo Maria Tombawhich surpassed Etra.
In addition to the titles, there are few words of explanation from the singers, and inevitably generic ones. All eyes were obviously on Tony Effe, at the center of a controversy for his lyrics and his presence at the Roman New Year (from which Mahmood and Mara Sattei also left after his exclusion). Conti has guaranteed that he will “amaze” at the festival, but for now we know that only his song is titled “Damme ‘na mano” and that “there is some Romanness”, as the singer declared – whatever that means. Even the other special observer, Fedez, didn’t say much except that his song, “Battito”, talks about depression.
As widely expected, that of the 31st big was a joke: the announced couple was that of Alessandro Siani and Leonardo Pieraccioni, who are promoting their film, and performed in a far from memorable sketch based on unlikely songs.
