1.43pm Amadeus: «Geolier shouldn’t care about social insults»
«Of course it’s not nice. Unfortunately, these are the advantages and disadvantages of social media. There are people who even insult Michael Jackson and Frank Sinatra. I don’t read the comments. Now there are factions against and in favor of Naples. Geolier must not care and move on. Whoever wins this evening, I believe that he deserved to win the Sanremo festival.” He states it Amadeusduring the festival press conference, regarding the booing of Geolier.
1.27pm Amadeus: the booing of Geolier is unfair
Boos to Geolier after the victory on the cover night. Amadeus felt «sorry. Disappointment is part of the show, but I found the booing unfair for him. The thoughts of those who vote for him must be respected. He is a much loved talent: in the sum of the votes, if he came first it means that he was voted for. It was a well-packaged performance that was enjoyed by those who love his genre.”
1.17pm Fiorello: «If the results are these, I would do the qua qua dance again»
«Little happened in this edition of the festival, and we clung to that thing. But listening to the data I am impressed: if this is the result, I would gladly do the qua qua dance again.” With his usual irony Fiorello jokes in the press room about the Travolta case, summing up a festival with record ratings that will see him on stage tonight for the final as co-host. «I am very happy, honored to have been part of five editions, even if last year we were smart working. This year we are here, and it is also a bit of a novelty for this festival, to have a variety show next to the Ariston. We worked hard at night, this evening the Amarellos will meet together for the last time, I think we will have a lot of fun”, says the showman. «For me – he underlines – it is a very important evening, for the first time both of my daughters, also Olivia, and my wife, will be in the room. You’re used to it – he says to Amadeus – for me it will be an extra reason for excitement and to do even better. I will try to give my best without overdoing it, because the evening is long, I will be by your side.” Last night when he entered the competition disguised as Manuel Franjo, Lorella Cuccarini did not recognize him: «Unforeseen events, not being perfect make this job beautiful, I don’t like perfection, preparing everything 100%, a margin of unpredictability I hope you always arrive.”
1.17pm Amadeus: real anxiety for Roma-Inter at 6pm
Tonight at 6pm “the real anxiety sets in, Fiorello and I are Inter supporters on one side, those who support Roma on another side”. Amadeus says this in a press conference in Sanremo before the final evening of the match, which he will host together with Fiorello. At 6pm, however, there is an important match in the Serie A championship that the two, avid Inter fans, have no intention of missing. Locked in a separate room, given that Rai CEO Roberto Sergio and CEO Giampaolo Rossi are Roma supporters.
1.11pm The order of release of the singers
This is tonight’s release order: Renga Nek, BigMama, Gazzelle, Dargen D’Amico, Il Volo, Loredana Bertè, Negramaro, Mahmood, Santi Francesi, Diodato, Fiorella Mannoia, Alessandra Amoroso, Alfa, Irama, Ghali, Annalisa, Angelina Mango, Geolier, Emma, Il Tre, Ricchi e Poveri, The Kolors, Maninni, La Sad, Mr.Rain, Fred De Palma, Sangiovanni, Clara, BNKR44, Rose Villain.
10.27 Fiorello: Amadeus at 60% makes more than Meloni and Schlein combined
Like it or not, the Festival gets three 60% (share, ed.) in a row. Amadeus alone beats Meloni and Schlein together. – Beelzebub, why don’t you go into politics? You create a party, you call it “Fratelli di Palco”, “Movimento 5 Scalette” or “SanremoViva”. Thus Fiorello joked about the record ratings of the first three evenings of the Festival at “VivaRai2!… VivaSanremo!”: in the company of Biggio, Casciari, Alessia Marcuzzi and the whole band, live in the rain, Fiorello warmed up the atmosphere outside the Ariston at the end of the fourth evening of the Sanremo Festival. The showman said goodbye to Aristonello: he will be co-host alongside Amadeus of the final evening, and will then return live regularly from the Foro Italico from Monday. «I like being there at the last evening of the Festival – revealed Fiorello -. I will attend the announcement of the winner and, as you know, Amadeus takes 20 minutes, until one of the two finalists waiting there for the verdict gets annoyed and leaves.” Then some background: «I’m there and sometimes I know it before him, I go behind and read the sign. He succeeded me with the Maneskins and there was Ethan looking at me … ». The Sanremo theme is also linked to political satire: «”Sgarbi leaves, panic in the ministry: the inventory of the works has begun”. The same thing will happen with Amadeus when he closes Ariston. Last year he took away 18 microphones: if he takes them all home.” Some of the Festival’s protagonists arrived at the Aristonello: from Diodato, who gave those present a surprise entrance to the tune of “Singing in the rain”, in the rain of Sanremo, to Angelina Mango, second in the ranking of the cover evening. But there are those who complain about the late hour: Fiorello’s mother. Mrs. Rosaria called in the middle of the live broadcast and had a loud and clear message for her son: “Go to sleep, it’s late!”.
