Italy Has a Great Song

Like every year, Italy hosted the Sanremo Music Festival to choose the act to represent the nation at Eurovision earlier this year.

Despite many fantastic performances from various singers and groups, Lucio Corsi beat the competition with his song “Volevo essere un duro.”

Many music fans and media outlets have praised the track’s emotional, poetic lyrics and alternative sound, which could help Italy stand apart from other entries this year.

While some worry the sound isn’t mainstream enough for Eurovision, the indie song will allow the country to bring a fresh, authentic record to the iconic stage.

For this reason, many people view Lucio Corsi’s entry as a risk, but it might be worth taking to help Italy differentiate itself from other entries and secure the most votes in the competition.

Tough Competition Across Europe

While Italy has a unique, fresh song to help shake things up, it isn’t the favorite to win Eurovision at present and faces tough competition from other countries.

Betting odds are placing Finland, Belgium, and France as the front-runners to win the 2025 event, as their chosen artists, songs, and styles are more likely to prove popular with Eurovision fans.

For instance, Erika Vikman won the national selection competition Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK) with her song “Ich Komme,” which has been well-received by music fans across the continent.

Also, Red Sebastian will represent Belgium with his song “Strobe Lights,” which has been praised by many for its upbeat sound and catchy lyrics.

His energetic, charismatic performance is likely to delight Eurovision viewers across the continent, which could help Belgium secure many votes in the final.

If Red Sebastian secures the most votes, it will mark the second win in the country’s history.

France could prove tough to beat, too, as it has won the competition five times and often finishes in the top ten.

In addition to its strong track record, Louane’s song “Maman” seemingly ticks every Eurovision box, as it provides catchy, emotive lyrics and powerful vocals combined with an energetic, polished performance.

Of course, anything can happen on the night, as many factors will determine the nation that comes out on top at the Eurovision Song Contest. For this reason, you cannot rule out Italy or another country to win the historic music competition this year.

If you believe Italy will win the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, you could win $1610 by betting $100 if it happens.
