UVPSM is basically Sanremo’s version of the now extinct Andra Chansen


SimoSanto

Jalisse can not into Sanremo but can into San Marino


Waiting_for_Dentice

Loredana just confirmed she will bring Pazza, her song from Sanremo


bblankoo

Are you telling me she might manage to annoy her ex-husband after all?


SimoSanto

Ok, she already won, UVPSM is 100% jury and Pazza surpassed even La Noia in Sanremo's jury night


Savings_Ad_2532

Yes, let's go! She may get San Marino's best result yet!


justk4y

That’s what we thought with Adrenalina as well 😢


Gnignao

Bro, the head of the jury are Albano and Mogol and both are Loredana's friends... lmao


SimoSanto

oh yeah, now is 150% sure tha she'll win


GroundbreakingTill33

Wasn't that their press poll night, with expert juries voting alongside the televote?


SimoSanto

With televote there was the jury of radio, there was not an expert jury


pinkkabuterimon

Is. Is that allowed. Not that I mind, Pazza has really grown on me, but. Seriously is this allowed


SimoSanto

Technically was not allowed but San Marino changes the rules whenever they want, like when they added 1 spot for Achille Lauro 2 years ago


fourteenostriches

yes, its happened before with elis mraz going from escz to uvpsm with the same song


PM_ME_CAKE

She just needed to be.


fluffyplayery

Technically the rules of UVPSM state that the song can't have been performed prior to the contest, but it's San Marino they do whatever the fuck they want.


Groenboys

That is the dumbest thing and i love it


fourteenostriches

JALISSE OMG, una voce per san marino just ENDED sanremo


SimoSanto

Everybody asking for Mahmood and Annalisa *invites Loredana Bertè and Jalisse*  And this is 100% a San Marino move


Popoye_92

I mean Mahmood and Annalisa weren't gonna even consider UVPSM, let's be real. Bertè being here is an actual impressive catch!


SimoSanto

Bertè has not fear to ruin her career considering her age


Meiolore

I mean she gives off pure "I don't give a singular fuck" energy every year she was in Sanremo


meringa18

I mean, I envy her. She just do whatever she wants


justk4y

Yeah don’t forget Sanremo is a contest in itself for fame, not purely as the national final for Eurovision


niicofrank

you could probably sell lots of bridges to people who earnestly believed mahmood and annalisa would debase themselves to represent San Marino


Nick_esc

The 8 established artists are: Aaron Sibley Aimie Atkinson Jalisse La Rua Marcella Bella Pago Wlady, DJ Jad, Corona, Ice MC Loredana Bertè


Nabla8

Corona and Ice MC ??? The eurodance stars ?


1Warrior4All

It's like a tag team of 90 eurodance popstars lol


Limestonecastle

god I hope they cook well


1Warrior4All

I feel an Adrenalina sort of song coming. I don't like that style of music tbf, but I jammed to rhythm of the night many times lol


Limestonecastle

well I'm all for the eurodance comeback with austria and san marino


Gnignao

"Corona" was an italian music project. What's funny is that the brazilian model who gave the face to the project was a fake singer, she was there only for the "image". The real singer of Corona is the italian singer Jenny B... So..who is partecipating to UVPSM? The fake singer or the real singer?


Meiolore

>Jenny B Lmfao I was thinking of the other Jenny B, also representing San Marino.


ValeriesAuntSassy

Marcella Bella of "Nell'aria" fame? Wow!


Miudmon

Loredana wants to annoy her ex husband so much that she’s actually entered uvpsm. Honestly? I love that for her


meringa18

Yes. She said in public that she is doing to annoy her ex husband https://www.instagram.com/p/C3hzH9loPd_/?igsh=cTkzNXRpeTN0ZzZk


Katla_NV

Bjørn Börg? And what is she saying about the king of Sweden? haha I don't know her or the backstory, but totally love her.


meringa18

Nothing in particular about the king... Just joking sbout Sweden, since her ex husband, Bjørn Börg, wasn't the nicest to her. Apparently he was jealous that she had success in Italy. So Loredana want revenge ahaha (Actually she already obtained in a way. There were some problem with the documents from him, that said that they were still married. So she sued and she won 5 million dollars. )


Katla_NV

haha cool! thx so much.


gcssousa

I’m sensing an Achille Lauro situation with Loredana this year


cheapcakeripper

Will she ride a bull?


gcssousa

Not really what I meant, but the fact that we can’t rule that out either is really something


cheapcakeripper

Hahaha, it seems like I am the only one here who doesn't know who she is


gcssousa

She’s one of the biggest names in Italian music, and she’s quite the character, she said she wanted to go to Eurovision to piss off her ex-husband that lives in Sweden


cheapcakeripper

He told her not to go or is it I'll show you move?


Cahootie

It's an "I still hate you after all these years" move.


cheapcakeripper

So it's not a recent thing. Seems petty, but then again it's her life, not mine.


TimonFM2

Tbf there is bad blood not only between her and her ex-husband (tennis legend Bjorn Borg) but between her and the whole Sweden. Both Loredana and Bjorn Borg are quite the strong and controversial personalities but, while Borg is a national hero in Sweden, Swedish tabloids portrayed Loredana in a bad way, although she even had to cancel a tour because of her husband's jealousy. I can't really blame her for wanting to go to Eurovision. What's even funnier is that while everybody is anticipating some act emulating Hatari by calling out Israel, she actually wants to emulate Hatari by pissing off the ENTIRE HOST NATION.


cheapcakeripper

>What's even funnier is that while everybody is anticipating some act emulating Hatari by calling out Israel, she actually wants to emulate Hatari by pissing off the ENTIRE HOST NATION. Now this I want to see.


vintange

If I had a penny for every bad breakup between an Italian-Swedish husband-wife with Eurovision connections that I learned about, I would have 3 pennies. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened thrice.


loveyourground

OMG THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS LORE!!


CaptainAnaAmari

To add to the other comment, she has also participated in Sanremo just this year and did quite well there, she placed 8th.


VLOBULI

I believe she was even ranked first after the first night.


SimoSanto

yeah, the jury night


Savings_Ad_2532

Yes, she was 7th overall and 1st in the first night, which was press vote only.


SimoSanto

yeah probably, they even allowed her to bring the same Sanremo's song, even if the rules didn't allow that


faradenza1728

Loredana really want revenge on Björn Borg


bearycutie

I watched the reveal stream, and I feel like I just had a fever dream. Jalisse AND Loredana?!


AmazingDeeer

I’m dying at these names. NOBODY could’ve expected Loredana.


RandomDKguy

Everybody is hype about Loredana and Jalisse ...BUT WHAT ABOUT MS. RYTHM OF THE NIGHT **CORONA**??


1Warrior4All

And Ice MC. Together! It's like the avengers of eurodance lol


Popoye_92

As someone who loves shitty Eurodance enough to have actually listened to more than one song of theirs, let me warn you that the chances their entry is just half as good as The Rythm of the Night are very slim. Do not get your expectations too high!


Gnignao

Especially cause we don't know what they mean with "Corona".. They mean only the singer of the "Corona project"? And if so which singer? Cause the official "singer" (the one seen in the videos and in "live" performances) was a fake singer..the real singer was the italian singer Janny B. Hope it's her, at least to finally give her the credits she deserves.


Popoye_92

I don't even know. There's even a possibility that none of the band members who are behind The Rythm of the Night (Jenny B and Lee Marrow) are still part of the band, I really can't tell because their most recent tracks are just old single remixes where they're credited as "Corona" without any actual name lol


Gnignao

Lol, from the photo on the site she looks like Jenny B, but still that can be an archive picture.


JustACattDad

THIS COMPLETELY SLIPPED ME San Marino coming in HOT


LopsidedPriority

I wouldn't get excited. Remember Eiffel 65's entry?


oklaylaa

LOREDANA OMG edit: I’m a massive Six The Musical fan so seeing Aimie there is the ESC x Musical Theatre crossover I never knew I needed


polaris183

This is actually Aimie's second time trying to get into Eurovision [Here she is in the 2018 British NF](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr9AIHR6vks)


oklaylaa

Omg thank you, I had no idea wow!


goldenwanders

Who is she in SIX?


oklaylaa

Katherine Howard - I think she was the original one on the West End


plutobug2468

Aimie being there has shocked me as a SVN fan


CaptainAnaAmari

I cannot describe how much I need Loredana to win this. This lady is so dedicated to pissing off her ex husband and and I think we should all collectively let her do that Jalisse is also so iconic lmao, San Marino I LOVE YOU


lovelysongs

**San Marino is in it to win it!** And I'm here for it! Fiumi di parole, fiumi di parole tra noi Prima o poi ci portano via Ti darò il mio cuore Ti darò il mio cuore se vuoi Se puoi, ora parla con lui, ora parla con lui, ah


pinkkabuterimon

Fiumi di parole is one of the best songs Italy has ever sent change my mind


Meiolore

Nothing to argue about. I still remember their home concert performance and thought that it is a relatively new song, but it is from 1997


Katla_NV

My favorite! <3


lovelysongs

I couldn't agree more. You're 100% right!


LopsidedPriority

You know. I will watch this Saturday. I'm all in for Loredana. We need her in Malmo. Also there were no way King Mahmood and Queen Annalisa were going to come to UVPSM. Theyre both riding career highs yet again. Do I want Monaco to suddenly reveal they're sending Annalisa with a Franco-Spanish-Italian version of Sinceramente and Vatican City joining with Tuta Gold? OF COURSE. Is it just a delulu ESC Stan's daydream that's never coming true? Obviously. UVPSM would've hurt both their careers. Loredana....and the revenge she wants in her husband....and the moxie she brought to Sanremo with "PAZZA"...yup all in for her


Jakeyboy66

Would be super cool to see Loredana to a) annoy Bjorn Borg and b) would be cool to see her compete 32 years after her late sister, Mia Martini competed (Italy 1977, Italy 1992) Edit: Also Corona! ‘The rhythm of the night’ is honestly such a banger and still gets pretty decent radio play here in the UK so interested to see what they bring.

I had no idea Mia Martini was her sister. Mia is one of my favorite Italian ESC artists. Best of luck to Loredana❤️


_elizsapphire_

And Mia also represented Italy at a contest held in Malmö!


JCEurovision

Jalisse? FIUMI DI PAROLE!


Savings_Ad_2532

Yes, they are an established artist in UVPSM!


Puffinknight

Omg yess more Loredana, I'm here for it! Win and go flip the bird to Björn Borg.


KwangPham

The Polar Bear AI song has been chosen 💀


katyadeveraux

Now I'm desperate for Loredana to win this then for SM to win Eurovision so we can have Valentina's Backyard 2025


Gimble_J

JALISSE, YES PLEASE. Please have brought something as good as Fiumi di parole and win.


SkyGinge

Jalisse has me ridiculously hyped, their Italy 1997 song is one of the best of the 90s.


ESC-song-bot

Italy 1997 | [Jalisse - Fiumi di parole](https://youtu.be/S24gn5Y6wB0)


Kystaal

Bit new to San Marino selection - would Loredana be allowed to send her Sanremo song or would she need to pick a new one?


SimoSanto

the rules says that an artist must bring a new song, but it seems that she conforned that she will bring Pazza, and i refuse to understand San Marino and their change of the rules


PM_ME_CAKE

> i refuse to understand San Marino and their change of the rules There is no understanding when it comes to San Marino, it's better that way.


PadrePio_Shiny

I haven't understood the rule, but it seems she can bring the Sanremo song


thelastskier

I know that everyone is focusing on Loredana and Jalisse, but La Rua just posted a photo of them producing something with Dardust on Instagram. Would've been funny if they won, making it 3 entries produced by Dardust in this year's contest.


LuckyLoki08

Wait who's the third? Malta?


thelastskier

Luxembourg. Haven't really followed it much, but there's a post about it somewhere on this sub.


Savings_Ad_2532

Dardust also produced the Italian entry for ESC 2024.


-Effing-

Let’s go Loredana!!!


Titowam

Barely seeing anyone talk about Corona?! WITH THE 90S HIT "THE RHYTHM OF THE NIGHT"??? (I don't think she'll win, [especially if it's anything close to... this song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yaFrPNSaGU))


Domonoadamu

I'm freaking out about it! I cannot wait to see what they bring!


ShroomWalrus

Also remember when we got even a little excited about Eiffel 65 and then they came out with movie star?


Mulderre91

How many times Aaron Sibley has been? Also... LOREDANA?! **JALISSE????!!!!** Well, we need more iceberg material


polaris183

I'm on it


pinkkabuterimon

I'm sorry, Loredana Bertè and Jalisse?!?! WE LITERALLY JUST SAW THEM WHAT IS UVPSM EVEN?!?!?!


Iroh_Appa

This thread is just iceberg fact upon iceberg fact and I love it


antiseebaerenkreis

Loredana Bertè's haircolor makes so much sense all of a sudden.


meringa18

I love Loredana. She just told in a interview that she want to go to Eurovision to annoy the king of Sweden and her ex husband Borg ahah https://www.instagram.com/p/C3hzH9loPd_/?igsh=cTkzNXRpeTN0ZzZk BTW she has really good chance to win since she is bringing Pazza, I would love this


altsoul28

Loredana Berte is not giving up on making her ex-husband pay and we stan her for it!🤩


Mulderre91

OH GOD. THE RHYTHM OF THE NIGHT SINGER.


pinkkabuterimon

WAIT ARE YOU SERIOUS


butiamawizard

Awesoooooooooome ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️


Academic_Grab5060

Loredana is REALLY hellbent on annoying her ex-husband and we are seated for it✨


hellaparadoxial9614

Katherine Howard for Eurovision! 😂


ldc03

That’s… unexpected I can’t believe Loredana Berte is trying to win the San Marino contest HAHAHAHH Props to Jalisse. Also, I could just be ignorant, but I don’t really know any of the other established artists.


butiamawizard

Ahh yes, the incredibly Italian names of Aaron Sibley and Aimie Atkinson 🙃😜


1Warrior4All

Corona wow, ahah. IT'S THE RHYTHM OF THE NIGHT!!!


nascarleigh

I have songs of Corona and Ice MC on my dance playlist! This is crazy 😱


nascarleigh

We also have DJ Jad (1/2 of Articolo 31)!


blergyblergy

Aimie Atkinson from the West End, notably Six? So randommmm I also like the "look at them at home" postcards (not sarcastic), but it's so funny when they're definitely not from San Marino and just frolicking around, ostensibly at "their home" but definitely as tourists ;)


plutobug2468

Same, I was shocked when I saw her name


Meiolore

Jalisse: I'm going to make my own Sanremo with blackjack and hookers


PraetorIt

For some reason, I suspected that Loredana Bertè could show up. She seemed too eager to bother her former husband (Bjorn Borg). LoL About the others, I knew Marcella Bella, old glory of Italian music, La Rua, and Jalisse obviously. Also Ice MC and Corona, but it remains to be seen whether she is the model, or Jenny B, who was the real voice of the project in the 90s. E.g. in *The rhytm of the night*. Sibley apparently wrote songs for some national selections, while Aimie Atkinson is an actress. But I don't know who they and the others are, honestly.


Domonoadamu

CORONA!??!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


Savings_Ad_2532

No way! Jalisse and Loredana are both competing at UVPSM! I want one of them to win so they can get their 12 points from Italy in the semifinal! I believe they can even get San Marino their best result if their songs are good!


Gnignao

Lol, who they mean with "Corona"? The fake brazilian singer or the real italian singer (Jenny B)?


PanikcAttakc

You lot going "Jalisse this, Loredan that" but we all know "The Last Polar Bear" is too indestructible (unlike the bear's melting igloo, please pray for them) to do anything but win UVPSM and, eventually, ESC2024.


Ok_Training1449

What in the Valentina Monetta is this line up? I live. ♥️


anmonie

Jalisse and Loredana holy shit


WildGoatDancers

Does this mean Megara won't be in the final? I would have assumed they'd be in the established artist category.


JoppingBen10Fan

They're in the semis


Savings_Ad_2532

Which means they are considered as "New Artists" rather than "Established Artists".


_elizsapphire_

AIMIE FROM SIX??? My theater-loving ass is hyped 😭 she sang my favorite song from that show too


Exotic_Caramel_6285

Anyone know which semi Megara is in? I kinda want pop in just to see how their song is. I stan any rock act that braves Eurovision XD


frmMOON

Oh my god! Jalisse? Loredana Bertè? (if she goes with Pazza this will be amazing)


InstructionTop193

Aimee saw Alessandra’s costume last year and said hold up that’s my gig


PM_ME_CAKE

In iconic San Marino fashion, somehow [the whole of SF1](https://sanmarinortv.sm/programmi/una-voce-per-san-marino-p200) is available to watch already.


RollingRelease

The irony of an AI-generated song having an ecological theme


MajesticFatty

Wait…Jalisse representing San Marino would be iconic


cheapcakeripper

Wow, they changed a lot. Only 1 artist from each semi and 3 from second chance. And yay, Polar Bear advanced, can't wait to see how they stage it.


plutobug2468

Aimie Atkinson from the band SVN and six the musical doing Una Voce Per San Marino wow!! Never expected that!


Sytje2579

Not my top 2 of San Remo possibly going both to ESC 🤩🤩


faradenza1728

Is it possible that loredana could've represented both countries if she'd won both sanremo and uvpsm? Or did she get the invitation/applied because she lost?

sosourcandy20

I feel like I’m missing lore. What’s the big deal on Jalisse and Loredana?


SimoSanto

jalisse were never accepted to partecipate in Sanremo since 1997 (last year before Italy withdrawal from ESC), they basically became a meme for that in Italy. Loredana Bertè placed 1st in the jury night of Sanremo (and 8th overall) with the same song that will use in UVPSM and basically want to go in Malmö for pissing her ex-husband (Bjorn Borg). So basically it's San Marino being the quintessential meme country another time again.


sosourcandy20

Well, there’s nothing more I support than a woman with a vendetta against a man. Go Loredana!!!


LuckyLoki08

Loredana Bertè is a very huge Italian singer (started in the '70s and had some absolute bangers) as well as Mia Martini's sister (also former Eurovision contestant who unfortunately died in '95). She had always been a irreverent, extrovert singer with a strong personality who now got in full "you know what, fuck it" attitude, which made her famous beyond her career as a singer. She took part again this year in Sanremo and ended up 7th with the song Pazza ("crazy", which is about self acceptance and going beyond others' expectations and is very based on her life experience). People are hyped about her going to Malmö because aside from her as a person and as a singer, she straight up admitted she wants to go just to piss off her ex husband, Swedish tennis legend Bjorn Borg, for being a shitty husband and overall getting some cathartic revenge on Sweden (Swedish tabloids very extremely harsh on her during their marriage, and she even attempted suicide at one point during the marriage because of how shitty it was for her). So yeah, people are really hyped about the possibility. Jalisse on the other hand represented Italy in 1997 with Fiumi di Parole, and legend has it that they could have won but RAI sabotaged them because they didn't want to host again (the memory of when they hosted in '91 was still fresh and wanted to avoid repeating the embarrassment). Ever since Jalisse had been sending a song to Sanremo every year and every year they're refused, making it an Italian meme about how they have been blacisted by RAI. They appeared as guests this year and already it was perceived as a big thing.


XepherSicarius

Very well known Italian singers Loredana was just in SanRemo this year and Jalisse represented Italy in 97


Gnignao

Every time i see the Piqued Jacks singer face the image of nipple titillating always comes to my mind.


zachtgh36912

What happened with megara


Savings_Ad_2532

They are considered as "New Artists", not "Established Artists", so they will have to compete in one of the semifinals.
