Do A Thing And Win Some Points

By | February 23, 2014

Yeah, we’ve been doing that years before @midnight with Chris Hardwick. Anyway, as a public service now follows a list of shows and pilots in no particular order looking for contestants.

Phew.

    the Sanremo Italian Song contest ended and the singer chosen to represent Italy at the ESC is….

    none of them -_-‘

    the chosen artist is Emma Marrone, who didn’t even enter the national contest.

      Am I right to think that the Sanremo contest is more popular than Eurovision within Italy?

      I don’t think it’s intended to be a feeder competition.

        you are absolutely correct. the Sanremo Festival is for Italians what the Super Bowl is for the Americans.
        the Eurovision instead is largely ignored, much like England ignored the World Cup before the 50s

        before 1970, the Sanremo winner automatically went to the ESC.
        after that, a separate contest was held to choose the ESC entry.
        nowadays, a committee picks the entrant regardless of their Sanremo ranking.
        this is the first time that the national rep was chosen from outside all contests.
