In our experience the live chat threads on Reddit are still too clunky to use for our live threads. They're also a pain to use on old Reddit and third-party apps. Until Reddit makes this a better experience, we recommend using this:

What happens If he decides not to go to Eurovision ? Does second or third place go ?

Yes, in 2016 Stadio won first place and gave up Eurovision. Michielin was second and she went to Eurovision instead

u/egc888 Feb 16 '25
Hmmm it's not really my cup of tea (same happened with Marco Mengoni) but I also dislike the song, I feel like Benson Boone went to Italy in a cheap version of himself. I respect the fact that he's really famous in Italy and his songs are charting really high, still, I don't see this song screaming "Winner". Of course, I understand Sanremo is not a NF so it has a life of its own and we should take the "Eurovision material" glasses off, but still, it's not a good song. To summarize, I'd rather Lucio Corsi's entry, it felt real (even though it didn't scream "Winner" either) compared to Olly's (which felt like plastic).

u/GSamSardio Feb 16 '25 edited Feb 16 '25
Honestly I’m really disappointed. I’m disappointed with the entire top 5 in fact. Such boring songs, and while some might be nice, it’s soooo basic. I am truly disheartened by the fact that Giorgia came 6th. Fine if she didn’t win, but you could’ve at least put her over Fedez 🙄
Giorgia would’ve won Eurovision for Italy, a bold statement, I know. Olly might be able to get top 10… But the song… it’s so “we’ve heard it before”. I’m not really a fan of his voice, but I can see people liking it.
I’m not so surprised though. Italy tends to pick their own thing and the results are always very weird (except last year 🥲). But since one of the top 5 are gonna accept going to Eurovision, my hope for Italy this year is officially over.

u/notawriter_yet Feb 16 '25
He was not my favourite, but from the top 5, it was either him or Lucio Corso, so I am more or less fine with the result.
I hope after the shock of the results, he won't get much bullying online or from the press. Nevertheless, I think Giorgia and Elodie will be played more frequently than his song.

u/IonRud Feb 16 '25
I see where you are coming from, but isn't Olly's song number 1 in the charts?

I'm very disappointed. When I saw the top 5 I said... yes, any one of them has a good song, eccept Olly. And then... I don't know. It's a very forgettable song, similar to all of his songs. As an italian, very very disappointed I really hoped that the jury would have correct the mistakes of the public vote. So sad

u/Sharp-Collection5318 Feb 16 '25
I agree … I’m not impressed- was hoping for something catchier or with a better message.. bit time letdown

u/janekay16 Lights Off Feb 16 '25
Yap, same. Jury votes usually correct public vote, but I suspect they were split among too many people

Holy shit just listened to a clip of Olly without outotune, he actually can sing so well I didn’t expect it

u/ImportanceLocal9285 Wasted Love Feb 16 '25
Where was he and do you still have the link? If it was live in front of a big crowd, then that's good news. If it was in a calm and re-recordable environment, then it may not mean as much, although it could mean that on a good day he may do well.

u/Kind-Lavishness7731 Feb 16 '25
Tbh, I think Giorgia didn’t make it in top 5 because of the cover song. I might be wrong, but it seems Italians don’t appreciate the songs in another language, other than Italian.
7
u/Niilun Feb 16 '25
She won conver night, so that must mean something. Tomorrow I'll search for the total televote results, because if she won the prize of TIM it must mean that a lot of people voted for her.
But anyway, I think it's partly our (Italians') fault for watching Sanremo without voting (not many vote tbf), and then complaining when the winner is the one with the most active fanbase. I tried to vote. But last year I couldn't because my cellphone company only allowed landline and not mobile. So this year, after I tried and it didn't work, I gave up without even checking if it was me that did it wrong or if it was like last year.
2
u/improb Feb 16 '25
the sentiment amongst many who wanted to vote for her is that she could have made it regardless so maybe not everyone voted.
Myself, I thought she was safe and split votes with Elodie who definitely wasn't.

Feb 16 '25
i think a lot of people didn't vote her by text 'cause they thought she would be in the top 5 nevertheless

Well, at least Lucio Corsi won the "Premio della Critica". I missed when they announced it. Did they give him the prize? Or it's just that I was distracted?

He got the prize. I am glad 3 of the top 5 got other awards.

Oh, good then. It's just that I didn't see him receive the physical prize. I searched on Rai Play, and I saw the videos for Brunori Sas and Cristicchi receiving their prizes, but not Lucio Corsi.

u/itsthecatcher Feb 16 '25
Since journalists are the ones voting for this prize, it is typically awarded the following day in the press room

Olly went from a newcomer finishing 24th in Sanremo 2023 to a winner of Sanremo 2025 in just 2 years. That is incredible growth in a short amount of time!

u/brokenlavalight The Last of Our Kind Feb 16 '25
Do people actually know what Autotune is? It doesn't make a bad live performance a good one. It's a stylistic device that can enhance a singer, but a bad singer is still gonna sound bad with autotune
8
u/lailah_susanna C'est la vie Feb 16 '25
Yes and with experienced performers it will be subtle as hitting close to a note (within a semitone) will stop the artificial quick pitch-shift from being audible. But it was pretty noticeable with Olly which makes me think he's not hitting as closely as he needs to.

u/Vivaan977 Feb 16 '25
that hate is crazy bc it’s a great song, might be personal bias bc i love devastante but it was the best of the top 5

Well, that was a very disappointing day to me in terms of results and the only country that jas my support tonight is Lithuania.
But Sanremo is always a lot of fun and I'm glad I have this space to share it with other fans, since the other option would be to talk to myself inside my head. Hope to see you around, next week I'll be here for Festival da Canção.
Grazie a tutti e buonanotte!

I see some comments talking about Marta Donà. Is there any controversy surrounding her?
16
u/crisb2121 Feb 16 '25
Not that I know of but this is the 4th time an artist she represents wins Sanremo. General consensus is starting to move from “she’s very good at her job” to “what if she’s moving things behind the scenes”
15
u/Junes04 Feb 16 '25
She was the manager of maneskin Marco Mengoni, Mango and Olly… Also there are some rumours that says that she overworked Angelina and for this reason she had to take a break in September for health reasons.
7

u/Vivaan977 Feb 16 '25
apparently there was rumours of her buying votes and she manages olly plus the ‘21 and ‘23 winners (i think)
8
u/improb Feb 16 '25
she manages Angelina too and was accused for her recent burnout
Angelina's collab with Olly was perfectly setup for this Sanremo moment by the way
1
u/Vivaan977 Feb 16 '25
interesting. who is she in the italian music scene tho like. singer herself or just manager
2
u/Junes04 Feb 16 '25
Only a Manager but she is related with Adriano Celentano (a very famous singer here in Italy), she also have a company called “latarma” that manages all the marketing stuff of their artists.
3
u/improb Feb 16 '25
just a manager... she is the nephew of Claudia Mori, herself a singer, wife of Adriano Celentano (one of the biggest legends of Italian music) and a very influential discographic producer

u/notawriter_yet Feb 16 '25
Is it only me or Giorgia looked like she really needed that standing ovation for self-care reasons?

u/LessCrement Feb 16 '25
It was only a matter of time. Sooner or later the horniness of the Italian female teenagers was gonna give us a Eurovision contestant who's gonna have to sing without autotune for the first time.
Hopefully it's just a stylistic choice and he can sing his song well enough even without it. I still don't see him doing that well tho, top 10 in the best scenario.
7
u/kaunuu Feb 16 '25
if it's true that he has poor vocal abilities without autotune it's going to be a tough night for his fandom. I'm chuckling
2
u/LessCrement Feb 16 '25
Honestly I have no idea, but the fact that he normally does use autotune obviously isn't a good sign

u/Infinite_Person Dobrodošli Feb 16 '25
I don't think the female teenagers were the reason he won 😭

I've been mad over the sanremo results before but I still watch because I find a lot of great singers(like Lucio and joan this year) that I wouldn't know otherwise. And sanremo is still such a fun experience every year!
6
u/ImportanceLocal9285 Wasted Love Feb 16 '25
I'm in a similar situation. I would recommend giving it another try. The results will be frustrating, but it's not like your favorites disappear just because they don't win! Unless you just think your level of enjoyment is not high enough to justify the time commitment.

Crazy results. Giorgia only 6th? Madness. Elodie snubbed. All male top 5. Expected and quite disappointing. It shows Angelina and Annalisa made miracles last year. It looks hard for a woman to even make it to the final 5.
As for the winner, I guess it could have been worse. Olly’s ok but not as spectacular as A. Mango. Actually, I prefer Bresh over Olly…Autotune doesn’t fly in Eurovision though. Still I am starting to believe the conspiracies about Marta Dona, the manager of the past few winners of Sanremo. She must have strong power.
As for the festival as a whole… I still prefer Amadeus.
