No need to hide it. The Italian Buddhist Union has a weakness for bastards. They have also written it on the manifestos. But who thinks that their love is limited to abandoned dogs, is wrong. The Buddhist Union has in its heart all sentient beings, from mosherini to human beings. Your signature, next to the Italian Buddhist Union, will really make all the difference in this world. 8x1000unionbuddhista.it

That's when the Eurovision Music Contest started. It's been talked about since January/February, from the Sanremo Festival for Italy, all over Europe.
It's a really important event, but there's always a "but" because I always go back to the "but". What I think is that the average level is not so high, that apart from certain nations like France, which always brings quality music, I say one because it came to mind, or other times some countries
in a way that is not constant
...
di livello poi, eh, nel senso... è chiaro che negli ultimi anni la musica
It sucked everywhere. As well as France, as well as Spain, for goodness sake. But, actually, the Norwegian music. For goodness sake, Norway is an intense, beautiful country and everything you want. The Finnish music. I mean... The Swiss music. I mean...
So there's this illusion that says, oh god, the best in Europe are facing each other, the best in Europe, in the sense...
We are among the best in Europe and that's it, basically. Then there are many dynamics, the votes, the single track, etc. Then there is another big lie, that is the thought that since the Måneskin made that big explosion, whoever wins the Eurovision can become very famous internationally. No, absolutely not.
Obviously there is a moment of hype, there is a moment in which an artist who has an international showcase that is seen all over Europe but also all over the world
there is that moment when you win, there is the news of the moment, so there is a swelling of the streamings, but the case of Måneskin is another thing. The case of Måneskin is due to the fact that there was an affordable catalog to an international audience before the Eurovision, the song "Zitti e buoni" is not involved, which for me absolutely did not have to win,
proprio perché secondo me non ha un averbo internazionale, perché non ha vinto il brano, ha vinto quello che rappresentava il gruppo assolutamente, cioè in quel momento erano perfetti.
as far as a cultural representation is concerned, more related to aesthetics, behaviors, ideals. They were a perfect group to win the Eurovision and to represent Europe in the world, but above all the real explosion, that of streaming, that cannot be controlled.
because there were also very strong covers that started to go around the world and continue to go around. Then I did a work of international rebranding, important hits were launched and the catalog works. We have 18-20 million monthly fixed sales despite the group being still.
So it's not like the winner of the Eurovision is Damiano De Maniskin. Absolutely not. We have our little light.
with a song that in my opinion is not very suitable for Eurovision because it is a very farce competition and in this maybe again Lucio Corsico can be the outsider that is, he could really bring a version how do you say, very acoustic for example to go against balancing try a little to touch the souls of the present
maybe they don't understand the language but they understand the heart and work so here it is now Lucio Corsi I don't know even with that outfit his attitude can work here but actually last year it seemed that Angeline Amango who knows what she had to do at the end arrived at seventh but she broke it broke it was
Angelina Vango was also a bit tired and then she did well to stop. I said it in that period, Andrina stop, you received a lot of insults, I remember this thing. Every day I received insults in various episodes, but those I remember them particularly because I said something that seemed clear to me and instead it seemed like madness.
So, I haven't informed myself about the competitors, now I'll go step by step, slowly we'll go to find some artists, but now we'll see who...
who will be able to win the attention, who will be able to gain visibility and who will win the competition. There is the good Tommy Cash who with his macho expression has already had his victory, even the featuring with Tony F is a beautiful victory for the
for its expansion in the Italian market and now we will go individually to talk about the most important songs, I will not do them all but in short we are going to follow Eurovision.
