Vocal Coach Reacts to Mahmood & Blanco ‘Brividi’ Italy Eurovision 2022 

in case you did not know as I don’t see it being mentioned, Mahmood took 2nd place in the Eurovision in 2019. Both of them are very popular in Italy and in Europe in general, so it’s safe to say they will be among top 5 in the finals this year.

Brividi has truly gone viral in the not even two weeks since its release: - it broke the record for the highest number of streams in one day post-release in italy (3.4 million) - the mv currently has 25 million views (the live performance, which is now deleted, had another 12 million) + 33 million streams on spotify - they were 5th in the global chart on spotify, and are now in the top 10 in the global 200 (ex US) singles chart - it earned a platinum disc in italy just today - it’s no. 1 in virtually all charts in italy, switzerland and lithuania I don’t think any eurovision song has had this much success in 12 days post-release, or even in general to be honest.

3:48 Yes, Blanco turned 19 a few days ago, he became famous during the pandemic, so he didn't have the chance to make many concerts. He had like 3 before singing on the most important stage of Italy. As a fan of him I didn't expect him to be this good live, this definitely makes me appreciate the song even more!

Italy is part of the so-called ‘Big 5’ - France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom - who are automatically pre-qualified for the Grand Final (together with the host country - always Italy, in this case). So, yes, they will be in the live finals :)

1. Cantano is not Blanco's name, it means in Italian "singing" :D 2. Italy is in the final automatically because they are in top5 and they are hosts :-)

Winner esc 2022. Upper level Song 😍😍😍 Sweden loves you Italy 😍😍😍

From the moment I watched and listened to it, this song went straight to my first place for this year, I really hope it wins.

Beautiful song, Blanco it’s only 19 and a little bit “ crazy “ in a good way. I loved his voice, it’s been a revelation 🥰🥰. Thank Georgina, they’re already winners. To win SanRemo Festival it’s a huge achievement for Italian singers 🤗

I've been waiting for your reaction...the whole week!! Thank you :) I really love this song 🔥❤️🔥

Their harmonies were really great!! 🔥 They deserved winning Sanremo song contest! Love your reactions 😆 Ciao from Italy! 🇮🇹

I obviously can't compare "Brividi" with "Zitti e buoni" (Måneskin's winning song), totally different songs, style and genre but as a Rock lover It's easy for me to chose my favourite. With that being said I think this song works. Their harmonies are almost perfect, the back and forth of the storytelling between the two gentlemen keeps the interest high, at least for me. We (Italy) are an automatic qualifier (crazy rule but still...) and I think this song can do quite good in the Final. Also, having a huge portion of the audience in the arena understanding the lyrics and eventually singing along can be a great plus. Good luck to them. Nice review! ps: the "butler" is the TV host, Amadeus 😁

So beautiful - this song makes me cry every time

His name is just Blanco. "Cantano" means "(they) sing" :) he was meant to take the cloak off a bit later but he felt uncomfortable. He actually apologized for it as soon as he stopped singing and it was so funny and sweet 😂 he was just 18 (he turned 19 a couple of days ago) but with how good of a singer he is and how comfortable and "crazy" he is around people, you almost forget that he's so young. Then he apologizes on national television for something so small and you remember 😂

Mahmood is way more experienced, he's 29, has won sanremo in 2019 and came in 2nd in Eurovision with "Soldi", while Blanco was only 18 during this performance (he turned 19 a few days ago), he's definitely popular in Italy but his career took off during the pandemic so he didnt really have a chance to sing live much. This was also his first performance in Sanremo, which always causes a lot of anxiety even in singers with decades long careers so it's safe to say he did really well

Wonderfull and emotional song ! Winner 🏆🇮🇹🥰

I love them so much! The song is gorgeous, they match perfectly together and the harmonies are insane... I would not be surprised if Italy won for the second year in a row!

CONGRATULATIONS ITALY AMAZING WONDERFULL SONG !!!! EMOTIONAL MAGNIFIC!!! WINNER EUROSISION 2022 ITALY 12 POINTS!!!!

Italy 🇮🇹 is already in the final, because they are part of the big 5. The other countries are Spain 🇪🇸, Germany 🇩🇪, France 🇫🇷 and United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Love you Honest Vocal! You are very emotive and clear. You search the armony, the truth in every melody. Here most professionals aren´t this way. Be always like you are!

I’ve been waiting for your videoo!!!!! Thank you from Italy ❤️

Thank's for your reaction, proud of our guys 💚🤍❤️🙌🏼

When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece. Look closely at nature. Every species is a masterpiece, exquisitely adapted to the particular environment in which it has survived.

Heyyy, i'm italian🇮🇹 I'm so glad you enjoyed it

I think this will win....beautiful song poetic lyrics great singers.....Italy....exceptional as always!

Italy is the Host entry and are part of the Big 5 so they pre-qualify for the Grand Final every year!

Very good song analysis: vocal, lyrics... Deep and detailed. The most professional reaction I've ever seen... Thank you Coach !!!!!

Italy automatically qualifies for the grand final since it's part of the "Big 5," alongside Germany, UK, Spain, France, and the host entry. That aside, I loved your commentary on this song! I could see this entry doing really well in the contest.

Lovely song and I really like your reactions - well done!!!

Thanks for this Georgina. Glad you picked the video I suggested. I'm quite sure they're gonna win ESC. I hope they will decide not to translate the lyrics.

Beautiful, I think this is one of the potential winners, so Italy would list itself as one of the countries that won the competition on its own soil, like Ireland did twice so far! Mahmoud&Blanco BRAVOOOOOOOOO....what a CANCONA just takes my breath away!

Simply magic!

my favourite song so far, mahmood its a masterpiece

The microphone critique is what I come here for

Thank you!!! ❤️

😂 the "butler" in the background is actually the host of the contest waiting for them to finish the song and then he goes on stage to present the following song

Saludos desde España,es una canción tan bonita y una interpretación tan fabulosa e intensa💘

There's a butler in the back 🤣🤣🤣 I love you Georgina ♥️

the butler was the tv host lmao

What I'd give to you see review of their Grand Final performance. Production and vocals leaps beyond this! I'm still crying all this time later watching it back 🤣

Italy will do very well ❤️

The "butler" is the Sanremo music festival host and art director lmao it's funny that you thought he was a butler

Hahahaha I'm italian and listen you trying to read the title is so fun

Love u Georgina your just great. A pleasure watch your videos. From Spain

Man in the background is Amadeus, presenter of Sanremo.

Another important thing about this song is that Mahmood is gay while Blanco is straight. Nevertheless, the emotions they are talking about in the song are the same. That's a gorgeous way to make everybody understand that love is love, it doesn't matter who you love.

I wish you all the best ❤️🇺🇦 In love from Napoli 🔥🌶️🇮🇹

Always lovely analysis!! Speaking of diction... in the last Sanremo seasons diction was... an option...

Brividi (Shivers) Ho sognato di volare con te I dreamed of flying with you Su una bici di diamanti On a diamond bike Mi hai detto: “Sei cambiato, non vedo You told me, “You’ve changed, I can’t see Più la luce nei tuoi occhi” The light in your eyes anymore” La tua paura cos’è? What is it that you fear? Un mare dove non tocchi mai The deep end of a sea you never reach Anche se il sesso non è Even if sex is not La via di fuga dal fondo The way out of the bottom Dai, non scappare da qui Come on, don’t run away from here Non lasciarmi così Don’t leave me like this Refrain Nudo con i brividi Naked, shivering A volte non so esprimermi Sometimes I don’t know how to express myself E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre And I’d like to love you but I always mess up E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle And I’d like to steal a pearl sky for you E pagherei per andar via And I would pay to go away Accetterei anche una bugia I would even accept a lie E ti vorrei amare ma sbaglio sempre And I’d like to love you but I always mess up E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi And I get the shivers, shivers, shivers Tu, che mi svegli il mattino You, who wake me up in the morning Tu, che sporchi il letto di vino You, who get the bed dirty with wine Tu, che mi mordi la pelle You, who bite my skin Con i tuoi occhi da vipera With your viper’s eyes E tu, sei il contrario di un angelo And you, you’re the opposite of an angel E tu, sei come un pugile all’angolo And you, you’re like a boxer in their corner E tu scappi da qui, mi lasci così And you run away from here, leaving me like this Nudo con i brividi Naked, shivering A volte non so esprimermi Sometimes I don’t know how to express myself E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre And I’d like to love you but I always mess up E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle And I’d like to steal a pearl sky for you E pagherei per andar via And I would pay to go away Accetterei anche una bugia I would even accept a lie E ti vorrei amare ma sbaglio sempre And I’d like to love you but I always mess up E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi And I get the shivers, shivers, shivers Dimmi che non ho ragione Tell me I’m not right E vivo dentro una prigione And I live inside a prison E provo a restarti vicino And I try to stay close to you Ma scusa se poi mando tutto a puttane e But I’m sorry if I screw up and Non so dirti ciò che provo, è un mio limite I can’t tell you what I feel, that’s my limit Per un “ti amo” ho mischiato droghe e lacrime I mixed drugs with tears for an “I love you” Questo veleno che ci sputiamo ogni giorno This venom that we spit at each other every day Io non lo voglio più addosso I don’t want it on me anymore Lo vedi, sono qui You see it, I’m here Su una bici di diamanti, uno fra tanti On a diamond bike, one among many Nudo con i brividi Naked, shivering A volte non so esprimermi Sometimes I don’t know how to express myself E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre And I’d like to love you but I’m always wrong E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle And I’d like to steal a pearl sky for you E pagherei per andar via And I would pay to go away Accetterei anche una bugia I would even accept a lie E ti vorrei amare ma sbaglio sempre And I’d like to love you but I’m always wrong E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi And I get the shivers, shivers, shivers TRANSLATOR

Thank you ♥️🇮🇹💪🏻

The best one so far ❤❤❤ so beautiful

Yes I think you are right - we have probably a winner here

Mahmood’s the best voice ever. Italy will win ESC again🇮🇹🇮🇹

Sei molto simpatica e competente ❤

They will qualify for the Gramd Final for sure because they are already there 🤪😄 Anyway they would qualify if they had to participate in semi-finals, I am quite sure about it

Like the UK, Italy is part of the Big 5. So, like the UK, Italy is already in the the Final ;)

6:59 That's Amadeus! He's the artistic director and presenter of Sanremo (has been for the past three years) and sometimes you can see him vibing to the songs in the background like in this case. You have a really good eye lol

Thank you

Think what you hear from Blanco is the accent. It's very difficult to mess the diction in Italian as you have to pronounce each and every word... If you get the diction wrong, it's mainly because you actually forget the words and/or stutter

I know it's gonna qualify since it automatically does (Big 5 and host). For now, it's my runner up behind Czech Republic but it may evolve, especially with Norway coming next Saturday. It sounds silly but I'm very proud of my Italian roots.

FINALLY ❤

Blanco is only 19, so he is obviously less experienced, but he's good

TOP3 in my modest opinion :-*

Italy is one of the big five. they are always in the grand finals ;)

Light correction the Singers are Mahmood & Blanco "cantano" means "singing", have a nice day

Hi @Georgina...number one this is Sanremo which is a very old and important music festival/competition/event in italy...it juts happens that they decide to send the winners or the youngest 2nd places to the Eurovision...anyway...this was the 1st evening and i must say...these 2 were kinda nervous...and sucked a little bit...the 2nd evening went way better...and 3rd as well and they won...you should listen to those ones... Oh and you should ABSOLUTELY listen to Emma Marrone with Francesca Michielin singing BABY ONE MORE TIME...it was AMAZING... I should also say...that their diction is actually perfect...i dont know how foreigners perceive how italian is supposed to sound...but it doesnt sound like Pizza and Mandolino with sicilian accent...that's a stereotype...

brividi = shivering

Hi, I'm italian and I can't tell that diction is not ok but they sound really good 😅

Top 5 for sure😉

I don't think Italy will win again, but this song worths it, it goes straight to the heart 💔, even if it goes against my interests as a Spanish😉 (Chanel you' re my winner💃❤️💃), I have to say that this ballad is just delicious🌹

Uh I’ve been waiting for this one

Giorgina, romantic vocal coach! ❤️

Certo che una inglese che dice che la dizione è sbagliata fa un po ridere

NOT Mamhood and Blanco Cantano !!!! Cantano means = they sing, so the correct translation is : Mamhood and Blanco sing Brividi (and you must pronunce with the accent on the first i brìvidi, NOT brivìdi !!!!

Italy always goes to the final

Something is wrong, why it was published 2 days ago and there are only 500 views? Hallo, algorithm!! :)

Wow you are so gorgeus

Italy already in the finales Big 5 plus hosting

finally

You advise to listen to Blanco's songs; Notti in Bianco Blu Celeste☆☆☆☆☆ Lucciole☆☆☆☆☆ Mezz"Ora di Sole Sai Cosa C' è Ladro di Fiori☆☆☆☆☆ Il Cielo in Una Stanza ( Mahmood and Blanco in Sanremo : )

Càntano and Brìvidi

It’s Italy, they don’t have to qualify))

Holy cow negative comments on this art. Yo guys stop listen to music go to disco this is not for you

They are already in the final they part of the big 5 😂

Look, I’m not being funny but if you’re going to try to talk with any kind of authority about Eurovision, you need to do some basic homework. Italy doesn’t need to qualify as it’s both the host this year and one of the Big 5 🙄

I think the "butler" is the TV host 😅

Pity you don't understand Italian because it is one of the most romantic lyrics I have ever heard.. It's a beautiful song with complimenting voices, it's like they are conversing their unrequited love for each other through this song. Beautiful melody....phewwwwww Italy . Good luck . 10 points from me.

"Cantano" is not a name, it actually means "Mahmood and Blanco sing/are singing..." 😅

2:32 Italy has no need to qualify. Besides being a Big 5 country they're also the host country. So they're double-qualified to the finals.

the flat note is a F#, its made on purpose its how the song is made❤️😊

The chorus is like a tom odell's song.....

So much better from Italy then Maneskin. I liked the performance of Maneskin, but it was really just shouting fuori di testa over and over and not much singing skills were needed. Mahmood is one of my favorite artists, his voice is amazing. If he sang in English he would be a global star

You made Way too many comments. It was impossible to pay attention to the singing.

Italy is an automatic qualfier🤦

I think. Most of the time you talk with no sense, sorry my opinion , but good job. nice reaction :)

The studio version is full of autotune, I would like to hear your opinion...

Blanco means white

Blanco is just 18 yo

Doesn't anyone else hear something very wrong about the harmonies???

Thank yoy for you deep examination but too many stops! Pls leave the music play a bit more 😁 you can't enjoy the song in this way

I have to be honest, I don't think Mahmood will win this year. Great performance, great song, but it's not enough to win. And after all, after the great success that had Maneskin last year, now it's time to leave the pod for someone else. It's good to recognize the efforts and the passion of every band from every country. That's also the meaning of the contest.
