The ratings are not rewarding this 71st edition of Sanremo festival. But Amadeus doesn’t pay much attention to it (and that’s okay, let’s leave the numbers alone for once. Yes, but let us go to sleep: at 2 it’s not finished yet. Absurd): “The country is as if it were going through a war. I was expecting even worse. ” Ama, in fact, argues that to start watching the Festival you need to have the right spirit: “When you’re angry you don’t want to go to a birthday party, you stay at home. I go to a party and I enjoy myself if I’m happy , not if I have a work problem “. And in fact his reasoning is flawless. Italians have nothing to celebrate, smile or spend five evenings in carefree: the pandemic has taken everything away. The artistic director knew this and who was closest to him for this “I still think that having 500 doctors in the room as an audience would have been wonderful”.
Appreciated the courage of Amadeus e Fiorello, for the third evening the program is dedicated to covers. Here they are: Aiello with Vegas Jones, Annalisa with Federico Poggipollini, Arisa with Michele Bravi, Bugo with Nuclear Tactical Penguins, Colapesce Dimartino Povera Patria, Coma_Cose with Alberto Radius and Mamakass, Ermal Meta with Napoli Mandolin Orchestra, Extraliscio Feat Davide Toffolo with Peter Pichler, Fasma with Nesli, Francesco Renga with Casadilego, Fulminacci with Valerio Lundini and Roy Paci, Gaia with Lous and The Yakuza, Ghemon with Neri Per Caso, Gio Evan with the singers of The Voice Senior, Irama – Cyrano (Guccini), The Representative Di List with Donatella Rettore, Lo Stato Sociale with Emanuela Fanelli, Francesco Pannofino and the workers of the show business, Madame – Prisencolinensinainciusol (Adriano Celentano), Malika Ayane – I’m not there anymore with you (Caterina Caselli), Maneskin with Manuel Agnelli, Max Gazzé with Daniele Silvestri E MMB, Francesca Michielin and Fedez – Medley (Calcutta, Silvestri, Jalisse, Baldi / Alotta), Noemi with Neffa, Orietta Berti with Le Deva, Random with The Kolors and Will ie Peyote with Samuele Bersani.
The tribute to Lucio Dalla
The Negramaro played 4/3/43 by Lucio Dalla. An exciting exhibition. And immediately after the performance, Giuliano Sangiorgi he wanted to thank Fiorello and Amadeus “for a bit of normality”. “The world is wonderful again,” Sangiorgi shouted before leaving the stage.
Some problems for Noemi and Neffa
The two didn’t seem too synchronized. At the end they recovered. Too bad, Neffa had a technical problem in the first 30 seconds, she was a bit late. Noemi then picked up the piece again when she started singing alone.
At least Extraliscio with Davide Toffolo and Peter Pichler make us have fun
Note of merit to these rowdies. They made us dance and have fun. Well done. They brought Rosamunda (composed of Romagna Mia, Casatcho and Rosamunda) to the stage of the Ariston Medley, hosting Peter Pichler, an artist from Munich, one of the very few musicians in the world capable of playing the Trautonium. On stage also Enrico Milli (trumpet and accordion), Alfredo Nuti (guitar) and the two polka chinata dancers Loris Brini and Antonio Clemente.
Amadeus stops the race
Fasma performs with Nesli on the song The End, but both mics have problems. Amadeus interrupts the performance and sends the commercial. All to be redone.
Fiore jokes about Zingaretti’s resignation
Rosario Fiorello brings the resignation the secretary of the Democratic Party, Nicola Zingaretti. “I don’t want to do a comic monologue because I’m heartbroken. Don’t you know what happened today? I had limited myself to making two jokes about Zingaretti and what does he do? He resigned. But can you be so sensitive? And then he said: ‘ I resign because I am ashamed, here we only talk about armchairs’. And what do you want us to talk about here? “, Commented Fiore jokingly on the audience of empty armchairs at the Ariston. “I feel guilty – he confesses to Amadeus – do you want to know what will happen? The Minister of Culture, he is good, becomes secretary of the Democratic Party. And Zingaretti has two options: either he is a candidate for mayor of Rome or he is a columnist from the d ‘Urso “. Who knows what Zinga thinks of this performance …
On stage the actress who defies multiple sclerosis
Antonella Ferrari, actress and dancer suffering from multiple sclerosis, wrote an autobiographical book, Stronger than fate, which has also become a theatrical show, of which she brought a taste to the stage: “The disease must not be the protagonist. I am not multiple sclerosis, I’m Antonella Ferrari “.
Orietta Berti: crazy
The artist sang I who love only you with Le Deva. Nothing to add: gorgeous.
Ibra returns to the Festival
Two hours late, the player shows up in Sanremo. “There was an accident on the motorway – he said – after 3 hours of rest, I went to a motorcyclist and I was brought here. He took me only because he is a Milan fan. I also made the video”. And after the story he adds a shocking detail: “He told me it was the first time he was riding a motorbike on the motorway”. Help. Shortly after, the dream of Donato Grande, the football player in a wheelchair, comes true. “You make better passes than my team’s,” Ibra said ironically.
Sinisa talks about the disease
After telling how he became friends with Ibra, Sinisa talked about leukemia. “A disease perfidious, sudden – he says – I thought such a thing could never happen to me. It changes your life, the world falls on you. Then I recovered and started thinking positive and from the first moment, when I entered the hospital, I was convinced that I would overcome this disease and I was right. “Zlatan immediately comments on the fact:” When I heard the news I didn’t have the strength to call him. When I phoned him I couldn’t speak, he was the one who gave me the strength. “The two then smile again and together with Fiorello and Amadeus form the Abbadeus and sing Io vagabondo between sticks and some out of tune.
Achille Lauro brings the third painting
The monologue by Monica Guerritore-Penelope, a woman used “like a stick to hit other women”, opens the third painting that Achille Lauro has conceived for Sanremo 2021. Immediately after, in a gilded scene inspired by ancient Greece, where Achille Lauro is a Greek statue (po) between the columns, also completely gilded, the music starts. With Emma Marrone, Lauro sings Penelope. “Present, past. All, None. Universal, censored. Condemned to inattentive reading, Superficial. Imprisoned in a story written by someone else. A person built on your person. I become banal, they reduce me to an idea. Antonomasia of people like me. Lock someone up in a drawing. But I was so much more. Prejudice is a prison. Judgment is condemnation. God bless the misunderstood “, he recites before leaving the stage. Lauro’s creativity overshadows all the other artists, even Marrone.
Madame and the welfare state bring the difficulties to the stage of Sanremo
Glasses, chair and a group of students among the desks (on wheels). The benches of the Azzolina at least find a place. Thus Madame brings “the theme of incommunicability” to the Ariston. The welfare state, on the other hand, brings the problems of show business workers to Sanremo. After singing It’s Not Forever by Afterhours, together with Emanuela Fanelli and Francesco Pannofino the band lists the clubs, cinemas and theaters that have been closed in the last year due to Covid, skipped concerts, people of the entertainment world left without work. And he closes: “But it won’t be forever”. Standing ovation from the orchestra and applause from the press room.
