Great television, terrible music. As every year, the jury convenes for the verdict.


In sequence.
No Advice, sung by Adriano Pappalardo, copies from Zucchero, advice, rabbit, does the rooster sing? score 1.
Small Hours, sung by Neffa, copies from Sergio Caputo, score 3
Air, Sun, Earth And Sea, sung by Linda, copies from any acid jazz album by Incognito, score 3
Look Into My Eyes, sung by Paolo Meneguzzi, copies from Tiziano Ferro, but is two bags (under the eyes) lower, score 2
It's The Music, sung by Andrea Mingardi, copies from... but who cares, score 2
The Flying Man, sung by Marco Masini, copies a bit from Oasis, a bit from Robbie Williams, no no... it's exactly She's The One, score 1.
When The Air Brushes Against Me, sung by Massimo Modugno, copies the Gipsy Kings but it's too obvious so he invites them to sing with him, score 1.
You Are My Life, sung by Mario Rosini, copies from Massimo Ranieri with a Disney-sized Spain graft, practically an abortion, score 1.
Cruel, sung by Mario Venuti, copies from Sting during the Bring On The Night era... we can't deny that the jury likes this, score 4.
Stargazer, sung by Bungaro, copies from Lucio Dalla, score 2.
Our Love, sung by Andrè, copies from Olmo... tua sua giua... and he doesn’t even joke, score 1.
Kamikaze General, sung by Stefano Picchi, copies from... who knows, but there's a detonator slipping away, to the bathroom though, score 0.
It Will Be Enough, sung by the DB Boulevard, copies from... but which Cure song did they take the guitar solo from? score 1.
Heart, sung by Morris Albert and Mietta, copies from nothing, it's the prototype of the Sanremo song, meaning nothing, although there's a feeling between the two... score 1.
Just A Dream, sung by Pacifico, copies from Sly for Massive Attack, or are those strings just like James Bond? score 3.
You Are A Miracle, sung by Daniele Groff, copies AGAIN from Oasis! But it's not possible! score 1.
It Was A Long Time Ago, sung by Simone, copies from Vasco, Grignani... score 2.
An angel tied to (or a) pole, sung by Veruska, copies from Silvia Salemi, damn if she chose it well, she truly deserves this pole! score 1.
Thief Of You, sung by Piotta, copies from Eminem in a sad version? score 3.
Useless Work, sung by Omar Pedrini, copies and whines like Grignani, score 2.
Single, sung by Danny Losito, copies from some TV theme tune, maybe some Spanish show... or is it those three that confuse? score 3.
It Was Wonderful, sung by - so to speak - DJ Francesco, copies from the worst of Jovanotti and the 883, managing also to sink lower, score 0.


Marco Masini wins, redeemed after years of marginalization, sprinting on the guilt felt from the previous poor Pantani...
...but we would have given the prize to Phera Williams aka Paola Cortellesi in Beyonce format with her Wooden Chicks and Frankie Hi NRG instead of Jay-Z: Don't Ask Me is a fantastic piece, how many Giorgias would have prayed for such a song, seriously convinced to sing an intelligent text?
