speaking Italian, I find the lyrics fantastic! full of irony , feminist references...this song has it all! ...I cling more towards voting the NO and CH songs but I play this every day !
I also recommend you to check out her cover night performance, she performed "La Rondine", one of her late father Pino Mango's songs. That performance was also one of the reasons how she won Sanremo, She received a standing ovation for about a minute in Teatro Ariston
This is my current winner. To be fair Italy could have sent a lot of other songs and they would have been my top pick now as well - but this WAS my most favorite by a hair. Sanremo was simply awesome this year. She’s a great performer/singer and I love her style. This is incredibly catchy. Oh, also. You need to see the live as well, this is executed so perfectly!
THis is the strongest Sanremo that I have personally seen since I managed to start following it online about 15 years ago.. This easily ranks up there with some of the amazing Sanremos back in the 80s. Poor artists next year gonna have a helluva job trying to follow THAT. And with Amadeus gone now, it will be interesting to see if his succesor keeps the emphasis on bringing in new/young artists.
just to clarify, please don't say "italy could have sent" when referring to italian artists. sanremo's last purpose is that of having someone to take part in the eurovision. the winner gets to choose whether to go or not but sanremo festival is way more important than eurovision for us and even artists don't participate with the goal of going to eurovision
@@toms131 I’m sure it is more important to most artists taking part. But they ARE also all potential Eurovision artists, that’s simply a fact. Not sure why you’d have an issue with this in the first place either. Or how else you’d say it. Seems like odd nitpicking to me to be honest. Even if it is their last purpose - which I think is assuming you know the minds of all the artists and I’d wager you don’t - it still IS part of the purpose - or they’d have picked someone through some other process. I’m well aware that nobody winning HAS to go and that some have passed on the opportunity - but funnily enough some in the top always accepts and it’s more often than not the winner of the contest. I think I’m going to stick with “could have sent” because that’s the reality. Don’t know what your mission with your comment was here but… don’t police my words with nonsense.
Agree. It was truly unexpected the first time I listened to the song in Sanremo, the live rendition of that part was phenomenal because after that energy nobody thought it could have a moment like that. That part made me think: "Yeah, she can totally win Sanremo". So happy she did.
True! Her live performance was spot on, but I think she needs to add some more of the fashion and theatrics like in the MV on the Eurovision stage for maximum impact.
And I didn't like it at all - so it's a matter of taste. Italy alternates for me between really good songs and truly dreadful ones - this is the latter type.
@@freemangriffin4953 yeah true, it’s a matter of taste. My comment was addressed to Rachel because she likes the song. So, nobody asked for your opinion here, sorry…
@@freemangriffin4953 yes i agree that Italy is hit and miss. Mahmood/Blanco and Mengoni were boring, and only placed top 10 because Italy will place top 10 whatever they send. Angelina Mango is her own level of fabulousness. For me, she ranks above Maneskin in originality, and in the same class in terms of performance.
This is a great entry from Italy 🇮🇹 Angelina is a great singer and she moves so well. The song 🎵 is so catchy upbeat and has a great tempo. Her acapella at the end was great. So for me that's a 12 points from Ireland 🇮🇪.
@@Ardit-kq4bt ahahah. I voted for her, so did ALL my friends and family. Italy was under attack by Neapolitans and the press did what the had to do, thanks god. I can't even imagine that Neapolitan trap shxxt at the ESC.
y'all have no idea how quickly i dropped EVERYTHING i was doing when i saw rachel had put her italy reaction up like OH MY GOD easily my favourite so far, 10/10
If you watch her live performance, you'll see she is EVEN BETTER. The way she delivers, the confidence and her voice. It really feels like a total package
Hi there, I just subscribed to your channel, I like your measured comments on the video. This song is for me the winner of Eurovision this year. And don't forget that this Spanish feeling or something like easy flamenco style is typical for Italian music of the south part. Don't forget that Spaniards dominated for three centuries South Italy, so this is also typical and Angelina Mango comes from Matera in South Italy. Bye from Serbia and good luck to Italy at Eurovision song contest
This song makes me so proud to be italian, really! I already love the song so much but with every reaction video in which people love it and are excited about it I love it more and more. I'm not sure we'll win again the Eurovision, but it would be totally deserved if that happened. I wasn't an Angelina's fan before Sanremo but I became one instantly when she performed this song, it's so good. Dardust and Madame worked on the song as well and you can clearly hear it, they're amazing too. I would like to see you reacting to the live performance of this song in Sanremo as well, though the music video is really great, I love it!
I think many of us find ourselves in the odd situation of wanting Italy to win, but NOT wanting RAI to organize it again.. 1991 and 2022 are rather embarassing fumbles for RAI.
Sono veramente d'accordo con te. Angelina e' veramente brava....una sintesi perfetta delle doti canore di papa' Pino Mango e mamma Laura Valente....E questa canzone strana, molto originale, diversa da tutte quelle che si ascoltano in tv e radio....si insinua nella mente perche' grande e bells. E' una settimana che la sento e risento sta diventando una piacevole e ricercata ossessione....E' in perfetta linea per vincere l' ESC questa meravigliosa manifestazione canora....Ammirare Angelina Mango e' uno speciale spettacolo indimenticabile nello spettacolo che non dimentichi piu'....
Angelina's father was a beloved Italian singer who sadly died on stage a few years ago. La Rondine was his song and one that Angelina performed at Sanremo in his honor. Very moving song....
Thank you so much for you reaction! I also recommend to watch the live performance (prima serata) she did in Sanremo, and her "la rondine" cover, from Sanremo as well. La rondine was a song originally performed by her father, Pino Mango, a very famous and incredibly talented singer who unfortunately passed away 10 years ago during a concert. Angelina's tribute to her father is simply phenomenal, one of the most emotional performances in the whole history of Sanremo.
This is a wonderful song and performance (at Sanremo); I'm really impressed by her confidence and energy on stage, and the song has a really electric, engaging quality to it. I just hope that some of the vivacity it has isn't lost at Eurovision because there's no orchestra (I think back to 2017 in this instance). Her mother was part of a group that appeared at Sanremo twice in the 90s and her father was also a musician too, so maybe it was written in the stars for Angelina to be at this festival and win.
that top 7 was truly MURDEROUS, and only a tiny bit behind were Mannoia and few others. Povera Annalisa... such brillliant songs she beings, only to get pipped by something even more amazing on that particular year. She needs to bring "Sincermente' level bop on a down year fo rSanremo! LOL
First ten of ten of the season! I am so glad! Angelina is also a stunning performer live. Super funny. The vocals sounds exactly the same of the studio version. 😊
Now THIS is the reaction I've been waiting for! Every year I come back to your channel and enjoy every second of your reaction to my country's entry❤ please, check Angelina's live performances (either the first or the second performance). I am POSITIVE you will enjoy it even more.
The lyrics are so Deep and "oxymoric" too. In the beginning, the boredom she speaks of is "melancholia, depression, the feeling of emptiness after a trauma (probably the death of her father when she was a child, which led her to leave school, only to return a year later and move away, hence the reference to changing cities again), the sense of vanity of vanities of everything. Then the boredom is transformed, it is no longer something she suffers, but she decides to celebrate it, to have a party, to move from passivity to action. In the end, boredom is what we have when we are not suffering. Out of respect for the suffering we have gone through, we must celebrate boredom, normalcy, which is not an "innocent" normalcy, but one charged with thought and awareness.
Thank you Rachel, you are '.. Total'!! 🎉 After a few listens, those by Angelina, Mahmood and Annalisa are undoubtedly the best international songs of this year imo. Also take a look at Diodato and his official video.
You absolutely deserve more recognition and followers, dear Rachel, I'm looking forward to your 20k! Top notch review, so captivating and on point. About the song, I personalyy didn't recognized its energy and freshness at first (I preferred Annalisa's one) but it grew on me and now I found myself singing it in my head every day! Angelina is so cute and humble, but also so confident, she deserved her victory, she really has some talent (and good genes). If you want to discover some amazing 80'-90' italian pop I suggest to listen to her father's songs, the great Mango with his unique voice style: Lei Verrà or Bella d'Estate are so, so beautiful, you won't regret it.
Hi Rachel, like every year, I eagerly await your reaction to the Sanremo songs, and once again, you haven't disappointed! Just a few additional notes about the song: the lyrics are by Angelina and Madame (who participated in the Festival di Sanremo last year), and the music is by Madame, Angelina, and Dardust (the composer behind Lazza's 'Cenere,' Elodie's 'Due,' La Rappresentante di Lista's 'Amare,' and many songs by Mahmood), true talents of contemporary Italian music.
Reaction sempre competente e dettagliata. Complimenti! Angelina Mango ha scritto tante canzoni bellissime e spero che tutti la votino all'Eurovision dandole 12 punti.
i was waiting so much for your reaction to La Noia. It's always a pleasure watching your videos :) I love this song and i think she will be awesome at the Eurovision Stage. Forza Angelina!
Sanremo was at a high level this year and a lot of great songs with different styles came out. In particular, Angelina, Annalisa, Mahmood were truly great.
The major to minor chord which you associate to R&B is a traditional mark of old school Neapoltan music. Angelina is not from Napoli but she has embraced by choice the music culture of Napoli, and such influence can be heard in a lot of her music.
Oh! I always enjoy your reviews! I love "La Noia" as a complete package, female vocal, uptempo, great music, interesting melody. Well done, both to Rachel and Angelina!
My pain of Annalisa not winning was smoothed over by radio and press votes overcoming the Geolier televote. I still prefer Sinceramente to La Noia (there's actually a few more songs from Sanremo I have higher personally than La Noia but that's besides the point), but I'm happy a woman finally won Sanremo again and will represent Italy in Eurovision.
Ooh I like this one… this has got to be a strong contender for top-spot. Also, salsa vibes 😉 love the acappella, unaccompanied first chorus in the Outro section, I am also guilty of double choruses - oops, but this was done very well!
I make all my cover videos in acapella and I love that moment in the song where she sings without any music as it proves that she can sing without a doubt I just hope the acapella portion stays as its something we’ve not really seen at Eurovision, Italy is once again a serious contender for the win and right now is my second favourites behind Ukraine 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
OMG Rachel you are getting so many views on this video, your expertise in music shines through and it is much appreciated. Well done! I am still waiting for the Maneskin album review at some point btw, I hope one day! ;)
Currently doing a master's thesis in ethnomusicology on the concept of authenticity in Colombian cumbia and hearing you talk about how authentic the rhythm (of cumbia) is, is something actually quite interesting...
And if you want to appreciate Angelina as a whole artist, in all her emotional pathos and love and sufferings, please see her Sanremo cover La Rondine, by her dead father Pino Mango. All Italy cried at that moment. ❤
Okay where do I begin. Ever since Maneskin the Italians have merged contemporary sounds (instrument composition) with their classical vocals and they have been contenders every year. I have never been to Miami, but the sound gave me vibes of dining in a small authentic Cuban cafe, that is being run by an exile, in Little Havana, a sound which gave us Gloria Estefan, but here without the 80's synths. The Italians have also done a smart thing here by not showing a live performance. If they can land the staging side of the entry then this is a clear winning hope!
I also recommend you to check out her cover night performance, she performed "La Rondine". She received a standing ovation for about a minute in Teatro Ariston.La rondine was a song originally performed by her father, Pino Mango, a very famous and incredibly talented singer who unfortunately passed away 10 years ago during a concert. Angelina's tribute to her father is simply phenomenal, one of the most emotional performances in the whole history of Sanremo.
Great commentary as always. Her lyrics acknowledge the Hispanic American influence. "La cumbia de la noia." Cumbias are a style of music that originated in central America, Panama I think.
Colombia, not Panama. And the rhythm of cumbia blends with those typical of southern Italy, which are traditionally very similar. The influences are the same as Spanish music (Arabic music and then the Spanish reigned for centuries) and in the south there is the same passion for percussion. Not for nothing, she sings deliberately using the Neapolitan accent.
As a Dutch person, I didn't know Joost Klein prior to ESC 2024 and I started watching some reaction videos. I came across the response on your channel to Joost Klein a while ago. The joy you had in the old school elements of the track and also the way you analyzed the track and discussed some details appealed to me. It wasn't until the semifinals that I noticed La Noia by Angelina Mango. In my opinion, in many ways one of the best tracks of ESC 2024 and also a great performance during the semifinals. Tonight I thought: lets see what you have to say about that track. And then I was also curious about your reaction to Armenia; an energetic track which appealed to me as well. It reminded me of Klezmer and gipsy like music. It's fun to hear you talk about music. I recognize the way you listen to it and put it into words. I think I'm going to watch some more of your reaction videos. Just for fun :)
Amazing song, absolutely fantastic! I recommend watching the live performance at San Remo with the orchestra. Also, you should listen to her version of La rondine (it was her father’s song), i’m sure you’re gonna love it! Very interesting video as always! Till next time :)
As an Italian I really wanted Annalisa to win, I'm biased because she's one of the only Italian contemporary artists I like (I mostly listen to music in English) but watching reviews about this song made me realize it's really good and I think Angelina deserves to win Eurovision and I think she will. You should definitely look up the lyric translation, it's crucial to really understanding the song, not only this one but every song you listen being English (I might be wrong but you sound English) and the lyrics are in a foreign language. I'm so glad you liked it, I dismissed it at first but now I really like it as welll
watch her live performance on Sanremo. She is muuuch better live, so passionate, a real queen
and man didnt she get into the dancing while wearing FASH-UNNNNN
speaking Italian, I find the lyrics fantastic! full of irony , feminist references...this song has it all! ...I cling more towards voting the NO and CH songs but I play this every day !
I also recommend you to check out her cover night performance, she performed "La Rondine", one of her late father Pino Mango's songs. That performance was also one of the reasons how she won Sanremo, She received a standing ovation for about a minute in Teatro Ariston
ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod YES!!!
Probably her performance with “La Rondine” is better than “La Noia”.
I followed it live, it made me cry.❤
Tutta Italia ha pianto
Wow. I know nothing about popular Italian music or her father, and I didnt like her song that much, but her performance of La Rondine was majestic
Yes please react to la rondine..it is the most emotional touching song in sanremo
This is my current winner.
To be fair Italy could have sent a lot of other songs and they would have been my top pick now as well - but this WAS my most favorite by a hair. Sanremo was simply awesome this year.
She’s a great performer/singer and I love her style. This is incredibly catchy.
Oh, also. You need to see the live as well, this is executed so perfectly!
Sanremo had very beautiful songs this year at least 20 beautiful songs.

Agree. It was truly unexpected the first time I listened to the song in Sanremo, the live rendition of that part was phenomenal because after that energy nobody thought it could have a moment like that. That part made me think: "Yeah, she can totally win Sanremo". So happy she did.
I'm very appreciative of how articulate you are at describing particular elements you enjoy, my favorite esc channel currently!
She is classically trained.
She is fantastic
Hands down the best!😊
The production level on this song is insane. Dardust is a monster.
Concordo! Si sente il suo sound!
He's a real wizard
Production is another level.
You should have watched the live performance of sanremo. She nailed it so much! And with the live orchestra it was obviously nex level.
True! Her live performance was spot on, but I think she needs to add some more of the fashion and theatrics like in the MV on the Eurovision stage for maximum impact.

@@ds5379 Yes i agree. In sanremo sataging has never been a very important part of the performance. And i’m sure they will work on that for eurovision.
@@freemangriffin4953 yes i agree that Italy is hit and miss.

She never deserved to win San Remo. A fluke.

Such a nice video! Thank you for your commentary! :)
I was waiting for your reaction! As italian i m very proud of out entro this year😊😊
I make all my cover videos in acapella and I love that moment in the song where she sings without any music as it proves that she can sing without a doubt I just hope the acapella portion stays as its something we’ve not really seen at Eurovision, Italy is once again a serious contender for the win and right now is my second favourites behind Ukraine 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
I would recommend to check out her live on San Remo. Crazy charisma and stage presence, and she's giving even more energy than in this music video.
10/10 video for a 10/10 song 😊
OMG Rachel you are getting so many views on this video, your expertise in music shines through and it is much appreciated. Well done! I am still waiting for the Maneskin album review at some point btw, I hope one day! ;)
GRANDE ANGELINA A STAR WAS BORN !!!

I was waiting for your reaction❤
Currently doing a master's thesis in ethnomusicology on the concept of authenticity in Colombian cumbia and hearing you talk about how authentic the rhythm (of cumbia) is, is something actually quite interesting...
Where did she say the word "cumbia"?… She's talking about the song itself, which has a not so authentic cumbia, I guess you already know that
@@giovannimoriggi5833 Are you looking to argue? ...really?
@@giovannimoriggi5833 People looking to argue these days....
A very good analyse of you..i am very satisfied with what you think about her and her song!
And if you want to appreciate Angelina as a whole artist, in all her emotional pathos and love and sufferings, please see her Sanremo cover La Rondine, by her dead father Pino Mango. All Italy cried at that moment. ❤
Okay where do I begin. Ever since Maneskin the Italians have merged contemporary sounds (instrument composition) with their classical vocals and they have been contenders every year. I have never been to Miami, but the sound gave me vibes of dining in a small authentic Cuban cafe, that is being run by an exile, in Little Havana, a sound which gave us Gloria Estefan, but here without the 80's synths. The Italians have also done a smart thing here by not showing a live performance. If they can land the staging side of the entry then this is a clear winning hope!
I also recommend you to check out her cover night performance, she performed "La Rondine". She received a standing ovation for about a minute in Teatro Ariston.La rondine was a song originally performed by her father, Pino Mango, a very famous and incredibly talented singer who unfortunately passed away 10 years ago during a concert. Angelina's tribute to her father is simply phenomenal, one of the most emotional performances in the whole history of Sanremo.
Wawooo❤❤❤❤
Hypnotic
Great commentary as always. Her lyrics acknowledge the Hispanic American influence. "La cumbia de la noia." Cumbias are a style of music that originated in central America, Panama I think.
"Della"
Colombia, not Panama. And the rhythm of cumbia blends with those typical of southern Italy, which are traditionally very similar. The influences are the same as Spanish music (Arabic music and then the Spanish reigned for centuries) and in the south there is the same passion for percussion. Not for nothing, she sings deliberately using the Neapolitan accent.
Can’t wait to hear your reaction to the Greek entry.
As a Dutch person, I didn't know Joost Klein prior to ESC 2024 and I started watching some reaction videos. I came across the response on your channel to Joost Klein a while ago. The joy you had in the old school elements of the track and also the way you analyzed the track and discussed some details appealed to me.
It wasn't until the semifinals that I noticed La Noia by Angelina Mango. In my opinion, in many ways one of the best tracks of ESC 2024 and also a great performance during the semifinals. Tonight I thought: lets see what you have to say about that track. And then I was also curious about your reaction to Armenia; an energetic track which appealed to me as well. It reminded me of Klezmer and gipsy like music.
It's fun to hear you talk about music. I recognize the way you listen to it and put it into words. I think I'm going to watch some more of your reaction videos. Just for fun :)
È sempre un piacere vedere i tuoi video
Amazing song, absolutely fantastic! I recommend watching the live performance at San Remo with the orchestra. Also, you should listen to her version of La rondine (it was her father’s song), i’m sure you’re gonna love it! Very interesting video as always! Till next time :)
Love the song, the musical composition is divine, I think it was done by Dardust. Glad you enjoyed it!
Live performance (first evening Sanremo) was even better, fantastic.
Beautiful complete reaction❤
Forza italia, grande Angelina mango❤.
As an Italian I really wanted Annalisa to win, I'm biased because she's one of the only Italian contemporary artists I like (I mostly listen to music in English) but watching reviews about this song made me realize it's really good and I think Angelina deserves to win Eurovision and I think she will. You should definitely look up the lyric translation, it's crucial to really understanding the song, not only this one but every song you listen being English (I might be wrong but you sound English) and the lyrics are in a foreign language. I'm so glad you liked it, I dismissed it at first but now I really like it as welll
Too good for Eurovision 🙂
