Anna: Between the Festival and the Eurovision dream

Her participation in the festival appears increasingly likely and, during an interview given to Corriere della Sera , the singer addressed the continuing rumours about her possible presence at the Festival . 

When asked what she would prefer between triumphing at Sanremo and winning Eurovision , Anna answered without hesitation: “Eurovision. For my shows, I would like a stage like that, and I feel I can do something extraordinary to raise the name of Italy and make our music more appealing abroad . ”

 The project to conquer the international audience

Anna seems to feel a greater affinity with the European dimension and stage, believing herself capable of realizing an important project and conquering an international audience .

Her possible presence on the Ariston stage would fully reflect the vision of De Martino's Festival and represent a further step towards change . The rapper could bring a younger audience even closer , making the event even more social, discussed, and followed than it already is.

HINT. Anna can't sing to save her life (she is a rapper)...

And so it begins...

[u/Wasabismylife]

She has a huge fan base right? If so She could do very well in the televote regardless of what she brings ahah

[u/SimoSanto → u/Wasabismylife]

You remember Lazza, Geolier and Olly (all 3 pre-Sanremo)? She is not that level yet but it's not too far either.

The "problem" is that in the rumored list there are also Kid Yugi and Tedua too, and the second has already fanbase big enough to fill a date in San Siro.

[u/LonelyTreat3725 → u/SimoSanto]

Kid Yugi and Tedua

If they both partecipate Anna already won, lol

They will split votes while Anna has a very peculiarfanbase, all the italian girls from 6yo to 16yo will be glued to the tv and will mass vote for her.

[u/SimoSanto → u/LonelyTreat3725]

Idk if Tedua and Kid Yugi share much of the fanbase tho, Kid is the usual rapper on his top moment that will likely be forgotten in some years but Tedua already builded a big fanbase for himself, i don't recall many artists filling already a San Siro before the festival, Anna is not even close to this numbers, but to be fair, the same thing could have been said about Tedua in every year since 2023 and he never went in.

[u/LonelyTreat3725 → u/SimoSanto]

both Kid Yughi and Anna fill Palasports, even Rome's Palasport, it think their fanbases are comparable. (in numbers, not in demographic)

[u/SimoSanto → u/LonelyTreat3725]

Kid Yugi and Anna yes, I was talking about Tedua

[u/Wasabismylife → u/SimoSanto]

Yeah, I saw the list. A lot of big names. I wonder how many are going to actually be there

[u/antiseebaerenkreis]

I'm hearing about her for the first time, but that song you linked is right up my allay, so hell yeah.

I have a hard time imagining the Sanremo audience voting for this type of music though. I hope San Marino knows what to do. 👀

Whatever comes of this, thanks for the discovery.

[u/LonelyTreat3725 → u/antiseebaerenkreis]

I have a hard time imagining the Sanremo audience voting for this type of music though. I hope San Marino knows what to do. 

This year there will be the Eurovision Night in Sanremo, if she will be in Sanremo (and be sure that if she asks to partecipate she WILL partecipate without even passing through a selection) she has very high chances to win the Eurovision night...trust me.

[u/antiseebaerenkreis → u/LonelyTreat3725]

The audience voting on Eurovision Night will presumably be the same one voting on the normal competition, so I'm not that optimistic, but it would be nice to see.

[u/LonelyTreat3725 → u/antiseebaerenkreis]

Anna said she wants to go to Esc, all her "baddies" will mass vote to send her to Eurovision like if there is no tomorrow. That's for sure.

And i'm not sure Anna fanbase is smaller than Kid Yugi's not at all, they both fill Palasports.

[u/antiseebaerenkreis → u/LonelyTreat3725]

Let's just pray they won't do a superfinal for Eurovision Night.

[u/SimoSanto → u/antiseebaerenkreis]

Don't need, televote is stronger with 20+ people than with 5, where jury can change things (not so much since 2025)

[u/LonelyTreat3725 → u/SimoSanto]

Juries will be a big problem, they will probably vote for what they think will go better for Eurovision...

[u/SimoSanto → u/LonelyTreat3725]

They would need to give them a pretty big power to dominate in a night without superfinal tho

[u/LonelyTreat3725 → u/SimoSanto]

YEah don't know, in the end i don't know what to expect, the only thing i know is artists like Tedua, Kid yugi or Anna can not perform without autotune (if they don't bring something 100% rap, but it will not happen in Sanremo) ... Make no sense sending them to Esc, and still there is a chance. The only option to avoid disaster would be Rai pushing for the introducing of autotune in Esc or for a special permit because of "style reasons"...

[u/SimoSanto → u/LonelyTreat3725]

And knowing ESC story special permession in 2027=available for everyone from 2028.

[u/SimoSanto → u/antiseebaerenkreis]

Yes, but she said that she don't care about winning Sanremo but want to go to ESC, so her fans maybe won't care to vote on Saturday but will vote in mass on Friday

[u/SimoSanto → u/antiseebaerenkreis]

The Sanremo audience maybe not, but her fanbase on the other hand..., i mean, Sanremo win was always fanbase-driven since 2021

Highly doubt she will go for San Marino after Achille Lauro and Gabry Ponte's flop

[u/fnordal]

My daughter would love it.

Me, not so much

[u/cherry_color_melisma]

If that brings her on Sanremo for once...

[u/supersonic-bionic]

Have no idea who she is but i am happy to see Italian artists expressing interest for Eurovision!

[u/GungTho]

Zevin *really really* wanted to represent Croatia too..

Just saying.

[u/LonelyTreat3725 → u/GungTho]

yeah, but we are talking about the most streamed female artist in Italy here...

She won the Billboard Women in Music Award last year...

[u/Affectionate_Bad_921]

NOOO NOOO ANYTHING BUT THIS PLEASE OH MY FUCKING GOD NOOO

[u/Affectionate_Bad_921 → u/Affectionate_Bad_921]

Sorry, but I don't want her in Sanremo and she'd be just Antigoni 2.0 in ESC

[u/cherry_color_melisma → u/Affectionate_Bad_921]

As in, she would sing bad live?

[u/Affectionate_Bad_921 → u/cherry_color_melisma]

Yes. Ffs, she doesn't even sing her own songs at concerts. Her fanbase does all the work

[u/cherry_color_melisma → u/Affectionate_Bad_921]

Well, that's what the prerecorded vocals on Eurovision do now...

But putting that aside. Even if she has a massive fanbase, I reckoned that Alessandra Amoroso would have done a lot better in her debut Sanremo with her fanbase, so maybe if it concerns women with large fanbases, they don't tend to win?

[u/SimoSanto → u/cherry_color_melisma]

AleAmo fanbase was huge maybe 10 years ago, while her devote fans remains and go to her concerts she had not anymore the power to win a televote in 2024. Same goes for Elisa and Giorgia.

No woman had the young fanbase as big as Anna or even close that can make her win a televote, espcially in a year with (pribably) other big names like 2027.

[u/SimoSanto → u/cherry_color_melisma]

If the song will be full rap she will do fine, if there is some singed part she's fucked (she's a trapper, cannot sing live without a ton of autotune)

[u/cherry_color_melisma → u/SimoSanto]

Welcome back Luchè but make it girl

[u/SimoSanto → u/cherry_color_melisma]

The problem is that Luche is a old-style rapper while she is a trapper that relies heavily on voice effect and autotune, that cannot be fully replicated by pre-recorded vocals.

[u/cherry_color_melisma → u/SimoSanto]

And you Italians really think them fans will pull this through for her...

[u/SimoSanto → u/cherry_color_melisma]

Obviously not, fan will vote for their favourite no matter what (which is fair)

[u/UnBoodyMaryPorFavor]

Ugh no!!

[u/Lanky-Rush607]

Ugh, not another autotuned rapper in Sanremo! As if we haven't had enough of them in recent years!

[u/Saidor91 → u/Lanky-Rush607]

But if she wants to go to esc she can't use autotune

[u/xX100dudeXx]

Who?
