It looks like Sanremo but it’s May Day. Many singers, some controversy, a dozen monologues. All in about nine hours. Ordinary administration for Rai viewers, now accustomed to the latest Amadeus Festivals.

Little politics
Once upon a time there was the May Day Concert. That of the messages launched from the stage, that of important gestures, that of significant speeches. And once upon a time there were “committed” artists, those who took the opportunity to impose themselves, to make themselves heard. Someone tried it yesterday too, of course. But maybe not like other years.
The enthusiasm of the public
The rain, the mud, the traffic, the non-existent parking in the center of Rome. Nothing. The audience at the Circus Maximus did not let anything or anyone stop them. Despite the interruptions due to bad weather, the wait under the water, the nine hours (if not more) under the stage, the Concertone audience danced and sang from start to finish, becoming the true protagonists of the evening.
The controversies
Less than usual, but like every year there were the usual controversies. The protagonists, this time, are Frankie hi-nrg mc and Morgan. If the former entrusted his outburst to Twitter – «At the big concert the girls make them all perform in the afternoon» -, the latter did it directly from the stage of the Circus Maximus, lashing out against the record companies, guilty of «preferring burps to music ».
Morgan and the case of the “cut” of the performance on May Day: «It was the most rock moment. And now I’m going back to X Factor to destroy everything”
The irony
And then the irony. By Mahmood, by Francesca Fagnani and Noemi, by Dargen D’Amico. Among the highest moments, the latter’s reference to the Rai vs Nove case: «Rai is a special worker among those who do double work, he works for himself and for the competition. The ratings are going very well and next year the Concertone will go to the Nove».
The ratings are super
The official data has not yet been released. But looking on social media, what is certain is that many people tuned in to Rai 3 (or RaiPlay) to watch the Concertone. After the record ratings of Sanremo, who knows if Rai will be able to bring home another great result. Even without Amadeus.
