Ciao from Sanremo, this is Alloracast! James Stephenson and Dude Points are back to react to Night Two of the Festival della Canzone Italiana, and talk about how the contenders for the Golden Lion are shaping up.

On this episode, James and Dude look at last night’s Top 5 from the first batch of 15 performers, and see which songs surprised and which were surprise omissions. They’ll also look forward to tonight’s third show, where the other Sanremo contenders will perform again, along with Nicolo Fillipucci and Angelica Bove as they go head-to-head for the Newcomers prize. And there’s time to review Achille Lauro’s stunning performances in the Ariston – and Max Pezzelli’s surreal ones in The Boat.
