I’m disappointed.
I can say that I expected it and I also warned you about the negativity of the Press Office and the Radio, but that this reaching such a low point, I didn’t want to believe it. 🤬
Last night at the Festival, quality was not rewarded, not even the performance, much less the voices, the professionalism. But are we joking????
Even if we had voted from all over the planet, nothing would have changed, Il Volo is not even in the top 5 after having given an incredible performance together with Stef Burns, and for this they have to thank the journalists in the press room who have always had an aversion towards them and the Italian radio stations that NEVER pass them on.🤬
I’m still so angry that as I write to you I’m shaking with nervousness. 🤬
But what are we talking about?
For all those who haven’t seen it yet, here is the video of the wonderful performance of Il Volo and Stef Burns presenting WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER by Queen!!
Stratospheric, immense. ❤️❤️❤️
My goodness, what a performance!!!!
Chills on the skin.
Let me start by saying that I was a QUEEN fan and here with IL VOLO, they were worthily represented. A very difficult song that requires an uncommon vocality.
But have you noticed how Gianluca modulates his voice??? Fantastic!
And Piero blended perfectly into this harmony, his voice was very recognizable.
What about Ignazio, the high notes are his forte and once again he proved it to everyone.
Stef Burns did his part, including some great rock guitar playing. 🎸
In the end a perfect fusion of sound singing harmony.
This performance absolutely deserved first place, especially considering the other performances.
But here is the ranking of the top 5!
What amazes me is the absolutely undeserved first place. 🤬
I have nothing against the Neapolitan song, but the Sanremo regulation has always prohibited singing in regional dialects, this year the regulation was modified to allow the Neapolitan song to participate. I knew he would have great support from the people, but here the support of journalists and radio stations was also needed, otherwise it is not possible that he could have reached this point.
I agree on second place, Angelina Mango (a young and good emerging singer) and also on third place with Annalisa (remember her duet with Gianluca), and also on fifth place, but I also absolutely disagree on fourth place, a ‘really unworthy’ performance!!
There were many boos when the first position was announced, also because it is not just a ranking, there is a winner who gets a trophy, the trophy for the best performance of the duets’ evening.
The winner sang again and was then rewarded, but there were many boos and people left the theater.
But this is not the point, the public’s disappointment is due but it’s time for the press room to stop voting and in any case the radio jury (placed this year) is another negative component.
This Festival is a great farce., I am truly dismayed.
There is nothing to do! 🤬
Let’s at least enjoy this beautiful roundup of photos from the evening.
It goes without saying that there is a lot of bitterness in the mouth, these prejudices from the press room will never end and the radios will never play their songs, nothing has changed.
For us they are the winners and anyone with good taste and ears to hear cannot say otherwise.
And tonight we start again, it’s the final evening. Of course, at this point, I don’t think Il Volo can rank in the top 5.
But they need all our support.
The evening will open with listening to the 30 competing songs. Il Volo competes with the number 5, so it is the fifth this evening, it will be around 10:00 in the evening (Italian time) in the end only the home jury will vote, therefore the televoting and therefore we must let Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca hear that there has always been their appreciation from home. It won’t help them climb the rankings, but it will help their pride, because they know they did an excellent job.
Then the general ranking of the 4 evenings will be drawn up and only the top 5 will continue the race.
Piero, GIanluca Ignazio, you are already our winners. ❤️❤️❤️……..everything else is boring!!!!
