Italy: Alessandra Amoroso will compete in Sanremo 2024 with a ballad!

Undoubtedly, the biggest surprise that Sanremo organizers had been keeping for the audience was the participation of Alessandra Amoroso. Amoroso has been an insatiable desire for all Sanremo fans and her presence in the upcoming edition is far but unnoticed by both the Italian and international audience.

Well and as she personally disclosed during an exclusive interview in RaiPlay, she will participate in Sanremo with a ballad. “Fino a Qui” as her entry is titled will be circling around awareness, without giving as any more information.

Moreover, she mentions that she is feeling really emotional as well as confused on her first participation at the legendary Sanremo festival.

Italy: Tiziano Ferro supports Alessandra Amoroso for Sanremo 2024!

The Italian superstar and one of the country’s most commercial artists, both at home and abroad, Tiziano Ferro, with his public post expresses his clear support for Alessandra Amoroso for the upcoming Sanremo festival.

Wishing good luck for Alessandra Amoroso’s maiden participation, Tiziano Ferro wrote to her on Instagram:

Beautiful baby girl, go conquer everyone!

Tiziano Ferro since 2001 when his career began has sold more than 20 million records worldwide. He has sung in Italian as well as in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese, covering many of his songs in these languages.

Although he and Alessandra Amoroso have been approached many times by all the artistic directors of Sanremo to take part in the festival, he has not participated so so far. He was invited on several occasions as a guest, but never as a contestant.

Alessandra Amoros, as we informed you in our previous article, is the big favorite to win, in what is surprising to everyone, her first participation in Sanremo. She said after announcing her participation:

I look forward to everything from here on out.
Like the first time on stage.
On stage for the first time.

Italy: The artists’ initial reactions upon their participation announcement at Sanremo 2024!

Amadeus revealed the lineup for the 74th edition of the Sanremo Festival just a few hours ago. Many previous winners, successful artists of the Italian music scene as well as Italian superstars make up the lineup, who will compete for the Golden Lion from February 6 to 10 at Sanremo’s Teatro Ariston.

The artists were extremely anxious until Amadeus’ announcement of the competing acts. The chosen artists had no idea whether they’d be on the Amadeus shortlist, as shown on their social media posts, with some of their reactions being literally epic!

Bigmama

Bigmama, despite being only 24 years old, was able to accomplish one of her greatest dreams, to participate at the Sanremo Festival. She is a symbol for many plus-sized women, but she is also an activist for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community in Italy, which adores her.

Bigmama is unable to control her joy and excitement when she hears her name from Amadeus and falls down sobbing in the video posted on Twitter.

Renga and Nek

The classic Italian pop-music enthusiasts just found their favorites on Renga and Nek. It will not be their first time on the stage of Sanremo. Renga took first place at Sanremo in 2005, while Nek finished in second place in 2015. Nek has also given us the now-iconic “Laura non c’e” during his 1997 debut at the festival, which, although it did not win, went on to become a worldwide hit.

When Amadeus announced their participation, they were in the kitchen getting ready for lunch as their faces lit up.

Mr. Rain

Mr Rain’s participation in this year’s Sanremo festival gave him the necessary boost in his career, in addition to a third place finish. Mr Rain returns to the Festival in 2024 following a successful season with sold out shows all over Italy. Mr Rain’s intentions are revealed in the laconic video he uploaded.

Alessandra Amoroso

Sanremo’s biggest surprise was definitely Alessandra Amoroso. Not only Amadeus, but also his predecessors, have been begging her to perform at the Sanremo Festival for many years. Everyone’s pleas were heard this time, and Alessandra will participate at this huge musical celebration.

Along with a photo showing her back, a small text accompanied her post on X following the announcement of her participation, mentioning:

With an eye on everything that will happen from now on. As if it were the first time on stage. On that stage for the first time.

Il Volo

Following their extremely successful world tour, Il Volo will return once again to Sanremo aiming to win. The Amadeus’ announcement found them in flight, but that did not stop them from watching the artists’ announcement live.

Negramaro

Negramaro is one of Italy’s most well-known pop bands and they are also the big favorites to win, according to the early betting. The group appears to be taking their participation in Sanremo 2024 very seriously, as evidenced by a special video for their participation.

Mahmood

Having already won the festival twice in just four years, Mahmood will claim the the victory once again, while he’s a favorite of the press. With a quite humorous post, Mahmood reacted to his participation at the Sanremo 2024.

The winner of the 2023 edition of the Sanremo Festival was Marco Mengoni with his song “Due Vite“. Mengoni accepted the RAI invitation and represented his home country at the Eurovision stage for the second time, finishing 4th overall. His single “Due Vite” went to become a major success in Italy and was recently awarded as a five-times platinum record.
