Sanremo Update! by Daniela and Pat

20 Comments

Today Daniela emailed us a website link to RAI 1 TV. Here is her note:

Hello ,

For all those who do not have the chance to see Sanremo, I send you the link to watch the streaming.

I hope everything works.

Here there is a lot of emotion for tonight.

We must make our love feel.

A hug to all: Daniela

I was unable to view anything at that site. The message states “The streaming of this content is available in Italy only. We apologize for the inconvenience.”

I looked online and found this link that worked for me:

I have been watching the show, In Vita in Diretta, all morning. There are quite a few folks on stage commenting about the Sanremo Festival. They are also interviewing some of the people performing at tonight’s event. At one point I saw the guys of IL VOLO outside the studio sneaking behind Sting as he was being interviewed by a lady named Barbara. You couldn’t miss Gianluca’s bright yellow sweater with BLIND FOR LOVE on the front! I was hoping they would interview them too and sure enough a little while later Barbara was climbing into their van to speak with the guys and Michele Torpedine, their manager. Here is a screen shot from that interview.

The transmission starts at 8.35 pm tonight Sanremo time.

This just in! A message just popped up on my Instagram saying, “Tonight headed on the Facebook page, pierobaronehouseteca_ufficiale, we give the chance to those who can’t connect in euro vision to see the boys of IL VOLO.” You might try that as another way to view the broadcast.

ALSO!  Gianluca just posted on Instagram that they will sing at 9:30pm Sanremo time! Looks like the guys will be performing an hour into the broadcast tonight.

Thanks to Daniela for sending the RAI 1 link. I hope it will work for some of us. If not, give the link I found a try or the Facebook page above. One way or the other we should all be able to watch! 🙂

Sara’ Sanremo – set your DVR! December 15 – 7:30p EST on RAI

I‘d first like to give a big Grazie Mille to Jane and Daniela, who are keeping this site going right now.  I can’t thank them enough for all of their hard work finding and writing articles.  What a dynamic duo!  🙂

Thank you to All About Il Volo, I saw this plug on Instagram that the guys are promoting the Sara’ Sanremo special where you can vote for your favorite artist that will be on the Sanremo 2018.  Dave Monaco, is from Michele Torpedine MT Opera & Blues and the guys mention that he will be on this show.

I actually have it set to record on my AT&T cable on the RAI1 channel.  It starts at 7:30p – 10:15p on Friday, Dec 15, 2018.  I can’t quite get if the guys are actually going to appear on the show or not.  I don’t think so, but maybe we can find some new talent that we like?  🙂 

 

Here are a few You Tube videos I found of Dave Monaco.  He’s not our guys, but he’s not bad.  His voice sounds a little forced to me.  Where our guys open their mouths and the sound just flows out, it seems  he has to work a little harder….  This first video here does not have Dave Monaco on it though, odd…but there are some interesting singers and friends of Il Volo on here, like Lorenza Fragolo and Francesco Renga – the one who wrote L’amore si muove. (just fyi… there are little You Tube ads interspersed in between the artists on this video…)  It says he won back in 2005, but I guess you can enter as much as you want?  Wouldn’t it be awesome if the guys entered again and won a few  years from now?  🙂  If you watch this video, it’s amazing to see how simple and classy our guys were, compared to what’s out there now!

Up next is their concert in Mexico for Ferrero Rocher – the Golden Symphony!  Looks like they did a sampling of Notte Magica, and Latin favorites!

Enjoy! Â
