We can wait for Italy to find its song after 5 nights of 6 hours if Sanremo. Two nights down and thee more to go.

I can’t wait for it to be over, I hate how Sanremo dominates everything for months before and during its week
I only watched when Allevi was on and I still haven’t heard any of the songs

I'm in NY and everything that arrives here is Sanremo. The one thing I enjoy is Fiorello, but that's just an hour.

Wikipedia says she was born in Israel but mostly raised in Russia (where she was a Junior Eurovision contestant for Russia) and only moved back in 2022.

Integrity from Eurovision right there.

You need google translate if you don’t speak Hebrew, but she says Russia attacking Ukraine was one of the reasons why they left the country (the antisemitism in Russia being another).

And if you wonder who is Veronika -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veronika_of_Desenice

Repeatedly referencing Watchmen just feels mean.

You mean the star of the criminally underrated Trophy Wife??

Finally someone said it! I still rewatch that show on Hulu. I also hope the legandary Albert Tsai returns to acting after Columbia or follows his passion elsewhere if he wants!
