Sanremo 2026, second night report cards: Fulminacci grows, Lamborghini to forget

We've said it before and we never tire of repeating it: Giovanni Caccamo's song has its reason and, on one of Italy's latest song ladies, it fits like a glove.

It may be that it is entitled Clandestine Poems but the more we listen to it, the more we are reminded of the eternal. And the dead seasons and the present and alive. Or maybe just last year's Sanremo with that hint of Anema e core. Whose clichés Lda and Aka7 seem to repeat.

Again, we've said it and we'll say it again: the song does not excite us. The interpretation, however, is valid.

Ballad so Eighties, among the best recent stuff from the Vate of North Rome. Tonight, however, the performance is not brilliant.

It can happen in the course of a Sanremo edition that a song grows in perception, listen after listen. This is not the case with Voilà, an ugly song sung by a non-singer.

Highly thematic (Dostoevsky's question: 'Why do children die?') made explicit in the artist's appeal at the end of the piece: 'Children should make noise, not silence'. The piece may not be memorable, but it deserves full sufficiency.

Sophisticated piece, prissy interpretation.

Pop dressed as rock without much inspiration.

The lyrics are far from profound, the melody easy listening, but it is the post-nineties grunge setting that makes the song work.

Bitter irony in country sauce about the many vices and virtues with benefit of inventory of the Italic race. Amusing. Especially when it comes time to pass 'the barrel of gas'.

'As long as you know what you get, you don't know what you lose'. As a singer who knows, but as a copywriter Nayt might have a future.

Pop catchphrase that sounds pretty and, in view of the final ranking, might hold some surprises.

The ambition of the team-up that made its mark on last year's duets night this year is evidently the podium. The song they bring is about the difficult art of being a father and, listen after listen, it grows. The credentials for it to reach the top of the charts are all there.

Enjoyable disco music filler about Ai and not Ai mixing high and low. Not bad at all but Dargen, when he wants to, can take us even higher.

The live performance penalises the song, which in itself would have its own reason.
