Sanremo 2023, the report cards of the third evening

Third evening of the 73rd San Remo Festival. They all perform and 28 the artists, judged by the televoting and from opinion poll jury of 300 items. To flank Amadeus And Gianni Morandi, the volleyball player Paula Egonu. Super guests i Maneskin who take the stage with Tom Morello. He performs Massimo Ranieri that with Rocio Munoz Morales presents the Rai program The Italians are always right. Morandi with Saint John sing Get sent by mom. Annalisa performs from the Suzuki Stage and Costa Cruises Gue Pequeno.

Amadeus (8)

Tonight he travels quickly: there are 28 singers performing. He holds up well to the twenty thousand hours of live coverage, polite, in focus, gives the right space to the co-host Paola Egonu.

Paula Egonu (8)

Salvini had said: “Let’s hope he doesn’t make the usual tirade about racist Italy”. Can’t we say that Italy is racist now? The champion begins her monologue with a precise intention: «I don’t want to give life lessons, just tell my story». You defend yourself against accusations of victimhood, make a dry speech and launch a political message, not so obvious these days: «My diversity is my uniqueness. We are all the same beyond appearances.”

John Morandi (9)

“Do you want to experience the beauty of altitude?” Amadeus asks him. Then he brings him a lift so he can dance with Paola Egonu. He is more and more sympathetic.

Paola & Chiara (8)

Here are two who have an idea of ​​the show: the dancers, the dresses, the sequins, the ballet (to learn). Fury, fury, and what voices.

Mara Sattei (5)

The story of a toxic love story in a melodramatic key, a little soulless, a little too many pop-Sanremo clichés.

Rosa Chemical (7 and a half)

He sings “you like that I’m perverse and you don’t judge me” and the Ariston audience explodes: and this can only please us. He is very credible in his role as a gender fluid provocateur, his Made in Italy drag, it is already within us.

Gianluca Grignani (7 and a half)

Vasco is a bit like his absolute reference, he eats his words, he’s out of tune a bit and then he stops everything because he has an audio problem. He defends Blanco and his scene from the other night: “At 50 I’m capable of saying to stop everything, at 20 I wouldn’t have done it.” Then he tries again, he gets out of tune but his strength is his expressiveness, he puts his heart into it, his is a passionate cry of pain, in the end he discovers a pacifist writing on his shirt: No War. Grignani is Grignani, a concentration of authenticity and unruliness, good news in the “plastic factory” of so much Italian mainstream music. The true rockstar of the Festival. Idol. Let’s close it here.

Levant (6 and a half)

Levante is good, it has a piece that works but maybe it pushes a little too much, it screams a little, it takes a lot of grit, maybe too much.

Tananai (8)

Last night, with the video clip, we discovered that long distance love singing in Tango it’s the one between a soldier at the front in Ukraine and her at home. The ballad works, he no longer clashes like last year, but we can say that we liked better the bewildered and ironic Tananai of Casual sex? We said it.

Lazza (8)

Interesting production, «not very Italian» as you would say Borissong (Ash) of impact, with a catchy refrain. She also loves her mother so much, she brings her flowers at the end (pleasent!).

LDA (5)

Listening again, the heart-flower-love text is better understood. «I don’t know if then tomorrow / You will come to me if you will come to me / Or you will be just another lie / And I miss drawing with her on the beach / Two initials in a heart of sand / Which are gone by now». I have nothing more to add, your honor.

Maneskin (9)

Well, what do you want to tell him. Energy, presence, right rock ‘n’ roll shit. There is also Tom Morello. star.

Madame (8)

His Good to bad it is hypnotic, she has her own way of expressing herself and even in this more pop version she is original.

Gianni Morandi and Sangiovanni (7)

Boomer meets Generation Z. A well-constructed duet, they are perfect at singing Get sent by mom. The gag with the bottles of milk in hand is less interesting.

Last (7)

He’s already on the podium, he knows his job, the song works. Vote for the performance, minus for the extra load of pathos.

Elodies (7)

“There are two things here: my tears or your tears” is the new revenge song by Shakira. Elodie is our Ferrari.

Mr Rain (5)

Again the children’s choir? They no longer have wings, thank goodness, but it’s all decidedly cloying. No, that’s not true, there were wings too. Help.

Georgia (7 and a half)

Take notes, everyone: that’s good taste. Intense but never over the top, elegant, classy. In his environment r ‘n’ b wins easy. She takes her revenge after yesterday’s not very focused performance.

Glue Uncle (6)

So much sympathy, so much mess, so much vitality. But the song?

Marco Mengoni (8)

“I’m in a place in my heart where it’s always off.” Mengoni’s pop melodrama is perfect for the win. He has style, a great voice, he puts the right amount of emotion into it. Come on, if it’s not first it’s second, do we have to get to Saturday?

Colapesce Dimartino (9)

“Life is a cod”, “I work not to be with you”: how many verses can be placed in a report card? It is the most refined, best written song of the Festival. Irony at the right point, melody, retro atmosphere and bewildered tone. HI Very light musicwe liked you but now let’s move on.

Like Things (8)

The love song the real one, today even more heartbreaking after they told us they’re getting married. Real because authentic, Coma Cose stage their story, the crisis and the happy ending with a beautiful melody and a performance full of emotion. Perhaps they will no longer be the embodiment of the coolness of the beginnings, those of Missing outbut the sentimental version of Coma Cose sounds good.

Leo Gassmann (6 and a half)

I thought I heard a nuclear tactical penguin. Lots of pop sympathy.

Country Cousins ​​(6 and a half)

Always dangerously on the edge of the cringe, but we like the thrill a bit.

olly (5)

Young and nice. However.

Anna Oxa (5)

But why did she turn into the charismatic leader of a cult that preaches the end of the world? Epic, but not in a good way.

Article 31 (5 and a half)

Yesterday in white, today in red. Chorus that seems written from an idea by Max Pezzali, but with a touch of their own (“now you have the family and it depends on you”: Max wouldn’t say it), rap and scratch that at least a little awaken us from our torpor of these two thousand hours of live coverage.

Aries (6 and a half)

Some uncertainty, not powerful voice, but his Sea of ​​trouble Aries sings it better than the first wobbly rehearsal. And it’s good news, because the song written with Calcutta is a lullaby that exudes freshness and an original language. Understatement and immediacy.

Sethu (5)

There’s a problem: you don’t understand words, especially at this time of night after a live broadcast that looks more and more dangerously like a kidnapping.

Shari (6 and a half)

Right dose of grit, we want to believe it.

Gianmaria (6 and a half)

When you hear it again, the cursive speech has a karaoke effect, «brother». The song works, he has something genuine about it, it all sounds very real, spontaneous.

Fashion

Modà are Modà, the theme is serious (Kekko’s disabling depression), but tastes are tastes and certain emphasis sounds far too pompous.

Will (5 and a half)

«But is it Will or Olly?»: heard in the press room by a journalist who prefers to remain anonymous. She performs at 1.35 and for this alone she deserves all our affection. But all a bit ‘already heard.
