Gay Singing Sensation Mahmood Wins the San Remo Festival with "Brividi", Will Represent Italy At Eurovision.

It's a really beautiful song. Well done, Mahmood and Blanco. Well done, Italy.

Just another bottom.

Maybe it's the language that but it is not very melodic to me, it just sounds like two guys thing to sing but failing. Or the heavy disjointed autotuning.

[quote]He has stated that "declaring 'I'm gay' leads nowhere

This is nobody to celebrate. Just another coward.

Boring coward.

Coward? Uh, no. Simply self-preservation. Mahmood declares publicly that he's gay, and he faces ridicule and ostracism from his family and community.

He sounds like a Mexican wino just woke up.

Bieber Italiano is charismatic, the gay plot seemed shoved in, but decent video and good luck to the pseudo Lil Nas X.

Bel video, bei testi, tatuaggi orribili, autotune ripugnante. Preferisco Giovanotti ed Eros Ramozotti per la mia bella musica pop italiana.

It's not in English. Slim chance to win.

Meh.

R5 is exactly right.

He's a coward.

[quote] He released a video for the song that depicts him in a same-sex relationship

I watched the video and saw NO depiction of sex.

I saw two cyclists cycling across sand. That is all.

You clearly didn't bother watching the whole video. Why make a comment when you haven't taken in all the information?

Perfectly generic and over-produced vocals, which is status quo these days to cover up the fact that the singer can't sing.

R10 if you look at ancient Eurovision history ( like, for example, the winners in 2021) you will see that English lyrics are not as dominant as it used to be. These days, we see movies/series and listen to music in a multitude of languages. You say “it’s not in English”. Others say “ heck, I want to learn Italian!”

Mahmood owns his own sexuality and does with it what he wants. Mind your own business. The video depicting a gay breakup had been watched 11 mil times yesterday. By the end of today it will be 14 mil and these guys just qualified for Eurovision on Saturday. Brividi is currently fifth on the global most popular list. Mahmood and Blanco are normalizing gay love and relationships around the world.

I love the song, and by the looks of it many agree with me..

I love the song

Besides the winning song, at the SanRemo festival, he and Blanco also sung the classic love song "Il cielo in una stanza" with their arms around one another.

Auto tune? At the festival, songs are sung live.

God, how boring, sounds exactly like dozens of other italo pop songs…..

R18 infinitely better than the US which has been destroyed by hip hop and rap. Talk about songs that all sound alike...

And BTW: the lyrics to 'Il cielo in una stanza' are about a couple in bed together. Just so you know.

R17 The live performance is way better than the studio version, i think they sing it perfectly

The 3rd evening of the festival was co-hosted by a trans. Drusilla.

In Italy, the Sanremo Festival is like the Super Bowl. Even more so. The entire country watches. 5 nights.

R22 Drusilla is not a trans, but a tranvestite, he's a man that dress up as a female character for comedy

It's an amazing song.

I dreamed of flying with you

On a bike of diamonds

You told me you've changed

I don't see the light in your eyes anymore

What are you afraid of?

A sea that you never touch

Even if sex isn't

An escape route from the bottom

Come on, don't run away from here

Don't leave me like this

Naked with shivers

Sometimes I don't know how to express myself

And I'd like to love you but I always mess up

And I'd like to steal a pearly sky for you

And I'd pay to go away

I'd also accept a lie

And I'd like to love you but I always mess up

And I get shivers, shivers, shivers

You, who wake me up in the morning

You, who stain the bed with wine

You, who bite my skin

With your snake eyes

And you're the opposite of an angel

And you're like a boxer in the corner

And you run away from here, you leave me like this

Naked with shivers

Sometimes I don't know how to express myself

And I'd like to love you but I always mess up

And I'd like to steal a pearly sky for you

And I'd pay to go away

I'd also accept a lie

And I'd like to love you but I always mess up

And I get shivers, shivers, shivers

Tell me I'm wrong

I live inside a prison

I try to stay close to you

But I'm sorry if I then fuck it all up

I don't know how to tell you what I'm trying to, it's my limitation

For an "I love you" I've mixed drugs and tears

This poison that we spit at each other every day

I don't want it on me anymore

You see I'm here

On a bike of diamonds, one among many

Naked with shivers

Sometimes I don't know how to express myself

And I'd like to love you but I always mess up

And I'd like to steal a pearly sky for you

And I'd pay to go away

I'd also accept a lie

And I'd like to love you but I always mess up

And I get shivers, shivers, shivers

R10 there are subtitles so singing in Italian is no problem.

Everyone loves when in eurovision people sing in their native language, to change the lyrics in english would make it love its charm.

Last year maneskin won singing in italian.

I think it's a bit early to predict how Mahmood will go but what's important it's that it has already grabbed everyone interest .

R17 They use autotune in live all the time, this the 21st century, computer programs go anywhere.

The official video Brividi has now 22 mil views and Eurovision has not started.

Are these 22 million viewers also homosexual?

He should have won with Soldi in 2019 so hopefully we see a very rare country repeat.

R29 you should ask them
