Spain, Italy and England are presented as some of the greatest favorites in a year marked by ballads and level decline

Eurovision’s Grand Final is already made up of 25 nations who will fight for the Crystal Microphone following the always-winding road to the semifinals, which Has ruined the illusion of great options like Latvia, Israel or Ireland, But it is a competition, only one can win and the competition is tough.

Although this version has a drop in average quality, there are sensational numbers. Above all, in the top 5—the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy and Spain—which Add more than 200 million residents and a substantial portion of the economic burden And it comes for everyone.

accustomed to Spain hey United Kingdom Every year they fall prey to the contempt of European audiences, it will be historic to see how points are showered upon them. Because Madness is Absolute in Turn with Sam Ryder and Chanel, Every time one of the two on stage, alone in rehearsal, everything changes.

As much as Ukraine’s victory is taken for granted, with The Kalush Orchestra, breathing a sigh of hope to its compatriots in the war, It’s safe to say that the Englishman is the other favorite of the prodigious artist that he is. He has a singular voice reminiscent of David Bowie or Elton John, like Cruel Songs. space man And the staging is one of the best of the year. The BBC is tired of neglect and if it does not win, Britain’s relationship with the festival could almost certainly enter into crisis.

The same can be said about Chanel, who has already qualified to enter Eurovision in our country as a goddess. There is confusion in abundance before possible channelzo, i.e. place yourself at least in the top five. Are there real possibilities? Of course. The channel knows it, the Spanish delegation and all the international journalists in Turin know it, who have adopted it as one of their favourites.,

although the song slomoinferior in quality to others, no one is a demonstration goal scorer. Each stage is better than the previous one on stage in the previous rehearsals and Perfection in the choreography and voice of the Spanish representative is already close.

Italy and France also raise the level.

Ah be the great cover of the night, black horse, Thief in a healthy bodyA song that mixes Serbian and Latin and benefits the Balkan diaspora.

The biggest nuisance of the edition is the stage, which looked luxurious, but technical problems prevented delegations from using revolving arches and the stage floor was always dirty. Let’s not let RAI walk you down the alley of horrors A production full of long, impersonal shots, with operators sneaking into cameras and each country with bland postcards to offer.

Luckily, we’re left with Laura Pausini, the always-great presenter, along with Micah, who has one of the night’s performances. And Alessandro is one of the most popular faces in Catalan, Italy. And, of course, menskin and the eternal Gigliola Cinqueti, who will return to the Eurovision stage. To recall Italy’s first victory in 1964 with Non Ho Late.
