Our report cards and comments

Shablo ft. Guè, Joshua, torment with Neffa – Amor de Mi Vida/Waiting for the sun (of the undertone/Neffa)
Hip hop made in 90 what once, the one before Autoun, of the bling bling, of the cash. The old school, which brings you back in time, when there were still no social, ia, the haste to go without knowing where. Analog vision with the back to the future effect.

Bresh with Cristiano De AndrĂ© – CrĂŞuza de Mä (by Fabrizio De AndrĂ©)
Faber again, where the son is financed here. Ça va sans to say, in the derby between Genoese the checks clearly for sincerity and respect for Bresh, even if they had not turned on the microphone and had to start again. Icing on the cake, the fall of the microphone to Cristiano, recovered in extremis.
Bravi despite everything.
VOTE: 7.50

Fedez with Marco Masini – Bella bitch (by Marco Masini)
Rebeling of beautiful bitch in a modern key where, after all the gossip surrounding Federico, it seems normal to look for any reference. What can be said is that the new version, more gloomy, more vivid has taken a new color. Net of a nice song one wonders was a parliamentary question needed?
Vote 7

Brunori-140225.

Bruori Sas with Riccardo Sinigallia and Dimartino – the year that will come (by Lucio Dalla)
Da Da It is worthily evoked by Dario, Riccardo and Antonio, to the sound of ukulele and drums, maintaining the original spirit, without unnecessary swabs and smudges. Growing convincing. The press room likes.
VOTE: 7.50

Willie Peyote with Tiromancino, Ditonellapiaga – once small (by Franco Califano)
Tiromancino plays in the house having already performed it, Willie juggles, Ditonellapaga pushes his voice and phrasing. The cover seems to be all on the shoulders of Zampaglione, who saves goats and cabbage
Vote 6

Massimo Ranieri with Neri by chance – when (by Pino Daniele)
They do what is expected of them: perfect acapella and Ranieri's voice that we support without overdoing it. Class. Particular mention for black revolutions, very good.
VOTE: 7

Elodie and Achille Lauro – hand by hand/crazy city (by Riccardo Cocciante/Loredana Bertè)
A cafonata was feared and instead Lauro (and Elodie) did not make a mistake even a blow, resulting measured and focused at least on hand, overlooking his duet companion. On crazy city the music changes and the accelerator is pressed on a string soft porn.
Vote 6

Olly with Goran Bregović – The fisherman (by Fabrizio De AndrĂ©)
Before the two covers of Faber, faced with arrangement by Circus Barnum and a mood shaved out of place. A Cafonal Remix we didn't need.
VOTE: 3

Joan Thiele with Frah Quintale – What is there (by Gino Paoli)
A rearrangement of the very famous song by Gino Paoli who makes his nose turn up by removing the poetry of what is a masterpiece, skibils and anesthetizing
Vote 5

Coma_cose with Johnson Righeira – Summer is ending (of the Righeira)
Plan and voice, and then explode in the version known to the most … with a polyphemic lines that incorporates the coma things with his personality, the final result: a chaotic but after all nice caciara.
Vote 6

Sarah Toscano with Ofenbach – Overdrive (of Ofenbach)
Sarah is slowly dissolving and keeps the scene well, doing her without overdoing it. Of course, the song does not enhance it much but at least it gives us some panache after several heavy performances like a boulder.
VOTE: 6.50

Simone Cristicchi with Amara – The cure (by Franco Battiato)

Solemn as a prayer, a dress that fits perfectly with the emotional race that Cristicchi is leading to the Festival. A ceremonial version of the famous song by Battiato. Not of. Easy understanding but certainly intense
Vote 6

Giorgia with Annalisa – Skyfall (by Adele)
Another of the most anticipated performances of the evening, a meeting/clash between two ugules that could cause a tsubami even on a mountain line. Already the arrangement of the original was pesantuccio instead, this amplifies it in the first part, until a shy electronic base starts in the second. Best vocal test of Annalisa, Giorgia leaves the moorings on the ending. The feeling is that it was a great athletic test, much less emotional.
VOTE: 7

Francesco Gabbani with Tricarico – I am Francesco (of Tricarico)

Dialogue between the two Francesco clothes equal, from frosts of Perugia. Here too a more pompous version crushed by the arches, giving it a tone of tragedy that trivializes the contrast of the original. Too bad why the two voices together would work well, even if vocally Gabbani if ​​Magna Tricarico in one bite, without salt and lemon.
VOTE: 5

Rocco Hunt with Clementino – Yes I Know My Way (by Pino Daniele)

RAPERING by reviewing the text on a song by Pino Daniele is like making a descent full of hairpin bends at full speed, cutting curves. A clever version, which works. Just as clever was projecting Pino's voice once again.
Vote 7

Marcella Bella with Twin Violins – The emotion has no voice (by Adriano Celentano)
Tribute to his brother author of the song (Gianni Bella). Marcella may like it or not, what must be recognized is the ability to sing well still knowing how to measure not only the voice but also the intensity. The only flaw is too theatrical performance that was not necessary.
Vote 7

The Kolors with Sal da Vinci – Rossetto and Caffè (by Sal da Vinci)
Sal Super Hit takes new lymph with Stash & Co who give the song more musical dynamism and freshness. The two voices are well combined, even if the operation is quite Ruffiana.
Rating: 7.25

Gaia with Toquihno – The desire and the madness (by Ornella Vanoni)
Gaia plays at home .. sounds that know his and those of the song itself. A well -made task that does not give and does not remove anything from the song. As they say at school good but it could do more.
Vote 6

Irama with Arisa – Say Something (by a Great Big World & Christina Aguilera)
When he sings, Arisa has the gift of making everything magical and light, even the stamp of Irama.
Very minimal version, all built to highlight the two voices, which are well married and go into honeymoon.
VOTE: 7.50

Serena Brancale with Alessandra Amoroso – If I Ain't Got You (by Alicia Keys)
Alessandra and Serena made theirs. The colors, the vocal scratch, the flow. All right. A great redemption for a festival that always saw her in the rear. Girl Power. Vote 7

Lucio Corsi with Topo Gigio – In the blue painted blue (by Domenico Modugno)
The most awaited performance does not disappoint expectations: tender, intense, moving. It seems to return in the 60s, where everything was magic and (apparent) simplicity.
Lucio is an artist of rare sensitivity and is conquering an increasingly transversal audience, competing in itself. It would deserve the victory (and not only tonight).
VOTE: 9

Francesca Michielin and Rkomi – The new Broadway star (by Cesare Cremonini)
Francesca on the piano with visible bandages, Rkomi who continues to quarrel fiercely with the diction. Very classic version of the song by Cremonini that weighs it down a little and without particular flicks (vowels). The choice to sing it in part giving their backs makes the idea of ​​their amalgam.
VOTE: 5

Noemi and Tony Effe – everything else is boredom (by Franco Califano)
Never the title was more spot on for a Tony who falls there is a Noemi who tries to pull up the stories of the cover, sometimes being a stornaeing. A musical semolina. We expected a little more blood
Vote 4

Clara with the flight – The Sound of Silence (by Simon & Garfunkel)
To redeem a festival so far, Clara decides to hurry up to the pompous Ali de il Volo, choosing a simple simple song. Intro Acappalla, at times exciting, deployment of third world war arches, acute that pierce the mesosphere. We feared it was like the extraction of a molar without anesthesia, instead Clara does not disfigure vocally.
VOTE: 6.50

ModĂ  with Francesco Renga – Angelo (by Francesco Renga)
A Francesco (Renga) in great vocal form, the ModĂ  who are permeated on Angelo. It could be a crash at 180 km/h instead bring home an excellent performance. Generous to each other
Vote 7

Rose Villain with Chiello – Pink flowers, peach flowers (by Lucio Battisti)
A cover worthy of the best karaoke bars. It is okay that everyone sing in Sanremo but why not leave Battisti in peace? A daily harakiri tell me it's true! Vote 4
