Last night, we saw half of the artists give their second performances on stage. Amidst the chaos of watching Mahmood and Tofu (Fiorello’s rapper counterpart) mash up the past four Sanremo winners, and seeing John Travolta doing ‘the Bird Dance‘ (yes, really), we were also presented with a top five for the evening.
This was the result for the night, as voted by the radio jury and televote at home:
When looking at these results, we can deduce that Geolier and Irama are the two acts favoured by the televote and/or the radio jury, but not necessarily by the press jury, as they didn’t place top five in Tuesday’s show. However, Annalisa, Loredana Bertè, and Mahmood have remained consistently high in both rankings. It’s also worth noting that this ranking didn’t take into account the acts who didn’t perform, so in terms of a combined top 30 we’ll have a better idea of a final ranking after tonight.
If you missed any performances, they are available for viewing on the Rai Youtube channel. Last night aside, let’s get into what you can expect from night three.
