Ciao a tutti ! Sono Alessia Marcuzzi e sono stata scelta per presentare la terza edizione di San Marino Festival !
We prepared a selection of songs before the results of Festival of Miracles 32 and the very strange votes (many
and a few players who really liked our entry and gave it big points) make us fear again a result under our expectations. So the rules for this edition will change.1) You will be able to vote for as many songs as you want: if you like a song, vote for it!
2) The song with the highest number of votes wins.
3) If no song gets votes from more than 50% of the voters, the whole selection will be removed and the entry of San Marino to Festival of Miracles 33 will be chosen internally.
Now let's introduce our contestants...
Margherita Vicario is mainly known as an actress (she played for instance in To Rome with Love with Woody Allen) but she also released two albums. This entry is quite interesting, somewhere between modern indie pop, jazz and psychedelic songs. The best part is the instrumental at 2:12 and the following chorus.
The complete name of their group is I'm not a Blonde (but I'd love to be Blondie). They are Chiara "Oakland" Castello and Camilla Matley, and they come from Milan. We get a fresh indie pop rock song here, with good instrumentals (part of these "instrumentals" are actually vocal), an efficient chorus (at 2:36 for example) and a funny choreography (3:32).
The third contestant is coming from a little town between Brescia and Verona. Her name is Giulia Fontana but on stage, she is the enigmatic HÅN. She already appeared in another selection with her song The Children and she is back tonight with 1986. The association between her sweet voice and soft electro pop works very well. The best part of the song is after 1:36.
Beware! We have a unknown singing object here! Sighanda has already a very eclectic career behind her. You probably never heard of her actual stage name but she already released several pop entries under her real name Dominique Fidanza and was part of the Italian dance girl band Lollipop. This
Italian-Belgian singer also participated in TV shows in two different countries: Popstars in Italy (the group Lollipop was made through the show) and Star Academy in France. That explains why we can hear her singing in Sicilian (she has roots there) and a little in French. L'aciddruzzu means The Baby Bird (this is why she's whistling, she imitates the bird). This jazzy and completely timeless song (a bit in the style of Emiliana Torrini) is far away from everything she made before. We hope you'll like it... Our favourite part: the instrumentals at 1:03 and the lyrics after 1:18 (with the imitation of the horse 
).The next contestant is Laura Muccini, an Italian former opera singer who mainly lived in Milan, Paris and (still now) London. We have a quite classical pop song here, but it is magnified by her pure melodic and powerful voice. You have a good example of her vocal skills in the part [2:02-2:47].
And last but not least, let's welcome Frances Alina Ascione. She was born in the USA from an American-Italian union but she's been living in Rome since she is 5. She participated to The Voice recently. We can definitely say that she has a voice, and her mom, who is an Afro American gospel singer, is a bit responsible for that... If you just want to listen to a part of the song, you can start at 1:13.
Now... Let's vote!
