You can read Måneskin's "Zitti e buoni" lyrics in English on our web site: wiwibloggs.com/2021/03/02/lyrics-zitti-e-buoni-maneskin-italy-eurovision-2021/262605/

I wish they could add the live violins to the studio version, it really elevates this song even more ♥

Fun fact: the blonde bassist is actually the founder of the band (together with the guitarist) then came in the singer and the drummer. She's danish-italian, hence the name Måneskin ("moonlight" in danish). Cheers!

These are very hard years guys. There's no place for another ballad. We need to be rocked now!

I have no idea what the singer is saying but I'm impressed with how quickly and forcefully he's spitting out all those words. And that attitude! Bam!

*Diodato* last year: "Fai rumore" (which means "Make noise") *Måneskin* this year: "Okay, we'll take that seriously" Another masterpiece from Italy, again. That's amazing. Good job Italians! 🇮🇹

When you think you know everything about Italians, they change everything and always end up surprising you. High quality style every year. Nice reaction guys!

I just can’t believe Deban prefers Blind Chanel over Maneskin. Blind Chanel is so junior high level. Maneskin is Zeppelin meets Jane’s Addiction with tons of Rolling Stones swagger.

You all need to realize that is such an historical goal for Sanremo. An hard Rock song never won Sanremo. It's something we never do. And they won, with one of their strongest and heaviest songs. I love this. I'm sorry Deban disliked it. :( But I could not be less proud

Deban's reaction really didn't age well. It's not that he didn't like the song or even that he called it his second least favourite entry Italy has sent since they came back. That's his personal taste. But the comment about obsessed fans who pushed them through in San Remo and would need to find a way to vote for them in Eurovision too (implying they don't stand a chance with an international audience or musical experts) was really uncalled for. "Zitti e Buoni" is in the top 10 of the most successful entries ever in televoting so he couldn't be more wrong. I wonder if he changed his mind after their performance in Eurovision or still doesn't like the song. William on the other hand was pretty accurate on his prediction. This would never be a mid-table performance. Their vibe was too unique and Damiano too charismatic for anyone to ignore it. It was either gonna be loved or hated.

Sanremo is proof there is still a place for the orchestra at Eurovision! Bring back live music to Eurovision!

I like very much Deban's directness, although I have to point out again that Sanremo is NOT a selection for ESC, so NO ONE here in Italy thought about "how well it will perform at ESC" or "which song should we choose to win the ESC?". No no no no no no no. The younger generations are starting to get interested in ESC, but among the middle aged (like me) it's just a bunch of not-conventional people who cares about it (me and my gf are the only ones in our group of friends), the old generations remember the 60's/70's editions and still call it "EuroFestival". Same - strangely - for the music industry: Mahmood himself was unsure on going to ESC (imagine that...). Anyway I was expecting your reaction. William, let me say that you're very different from most of your "fellow competitors" doing reactions on ESC: you study the not-english lyrics, you look into the background of the singers, you do a serious job. You're by far the most thoroughly prepared one. You really care and we love you for that! Please keep up the good job. Greetings from Italy.

Italy is back into my top 3 once again!

What could Deban tell now after winning of Italy? 🤔

As a rock fan I think there is always like only one rock song, so this year, having two rock songs is like a holiday lol 😂 so why should I choose only one, I will definitely vote for both of them, love them!

I’m from Melbourne where we named a street after AC/DC, so I am LIVING for moar rock in Eurovision! I squealed with delight when I first heard this, so ballsy and glam and in your face - a deadset winner. Go Italy 🇮🇹 🤘🏼❤️ you utterly smashed it out of the park

The guy with the dreads hates Italian acts. It is soo rude of him taking off his headphones before the end of the performance.

At first I thought it was an unusual name for an italian band until I found out that the female bass player is half danish and she is the one that came up with the name. I really like the song. Especially the live performance with the violins elevates the song to something amazing.

Thank you for that less than lukewarm reception, Deban. It made me cast those extra 15 televotes to make up for the lack of appreciation. Maybe more of us voters did 💕

im very happy that Deban was completely wrong! ahahahaha

Deban: "this will be the worst result for Italy since their come back". Italy: *win after 31 Years* Deban, my dear, I think It's time to retire. Your boomerism is showing too much.

I voted for them on the Sanremo Grand Final. It’s such an unusual Sanremo winner that I’m happy for them regardless of their Eurovision final result. Rock usually doesn’t do well at Eurovision, but they are so in-your-face, so in their element that I think many people will love them enough to push them to Top 10. Go Maneskin!

Watching this twelve months later. What did you know. They have blown up worldwide.

Soooooo happy for their victory....and soooo happy to shut Deban and his hollow criticisms up

Deban: "this is going to be the worst result for Italy since their comeback" Maneskin: CALL AN AMBULANCE, CALL AN AMBULANCE! b u t n o t f o r m e

I love coming back to videos that aged so badly ahahah and this one is "partially" one of them.

I bet this is just awfully awkward for Deban right about now...

can I guess Deban isn't really happy this won?😂

you basically defined the aesthetic of hard rock/ metal there. " how can someone this pretty sound so angry?"

Deban, Deban! Being contradictory, after praising Italy until last year. And saying now that Italy is overrated????? I think you had problems with an italian 'situation', but this brought luck to Italy. So thank you very much.

I like måneskin, they were one of my favourites leading into the contest. Was rooting more for irama however, but I think that Italia can be proud of their entry, as always!

Who's here after they've won

Music experts would go crazy for this. Musically speaking is the only entry worth noticing

Italy has since their return to ESC sent jazz, bel canto, pop ballads, pop-rock, soul, hip hop/R&B and now rock. The lyrics and compositions are usually also very unique and interesting. Måneskin don't just play rock music btw. And Diodato used to play a lot of rock music a few years back. Honestly, he's a fantastic singer-songwriter. Sanremo is overall just amazing, filled with amazing artists. I liked half of the songs more than any of the other eurovision entries I've heard so far. And the covers of other famous songs were also amazing, especially Colapesce e Dimartino's cover of "Povera patria". If I have one criticism of "Zitti e buoni" It's that it's a little repetitive. But this is probably a good thing, since they will have to make their song shorter anyway.

I wanted to sleep through most of the show. Then there was this song which kind of woke me up

Deban was saying what? :-)))

I'm Australian and Maneskin came up on my spotify discover a couple of years back and I've loved them ever since, so I'm super excited to see them in this! I agree with William, I find this a lot more interesting and daring than Finland (but I love both of them). Honestly, I'm excited to see lots of rock in it this year! Its the year for it!

Listen Deban's comment at 11:43. He had no clue what he was talking about. Italy had a massive televote this year at Eurovision and I'm pretty sure it was not just family and friends 🤣

Italy was my introduction to the contest in 2017 and I continue to love them more and more 🖤

That lead singer can come to shout at my ear anytime!!! What a beautiful man!💪🤤🤤😴❤

I'm glad that people from all over the world is finding out that Italian music is not only made by romantic songs. There are many very good band and singers. I may say Baustelle, Calcutta, Caparezza, Linea 77, Negrita, Litfiba, Il teatro degli orrori ("A sangue freddo", one of my fav songs ever), Jovanotti, Le Vibrazioni, Subsonica, Bluvertigo, Meganoidi, Pino Daniele, Zucchero and the beginning of the career of Vasco Rossi and of Ligabue And much more

Credo, a mio modesto parere, che i Maneskin siano il gruppo migliore che possa rappresentare l'Italia. Voce impeccabile, dato che non ha sbagliato una nota in 5 serate, sono pieni d'energia, sanno creare atmosfera sul palco, hanno un frontman che sa arrivare e coinvolgere il pubblico, e soprattutto suonano! Hanno vissuto per un periodo a Londra e questo li avvantaggia con la lingua nelle interviste ed hanno una loro identità sia nel vestire che nel cantare. Non sono una semplice rock band, sono dei veri e propri artisti. Ho fatto il tifo per loro dal primo momento quindi ora speriamo in bene!

Watching this after their second rehearsal. And I think Deban got it all wrong🇮🇹🔥

This hasn't aged well.

Italy is my winner at the moment! ❤️

Well Europe decided and with a lot of points.. Italy just slayed this ESC 2021.

I totally understand if the song doesn't please everyone (like Deban), especially if you only can judge by the sound bc you don't understand the lyrics (I think understanding the lyrics makes it way better) but what captivated me at Sanremo was their energy on stage, their costumes that showed their true identity, and especially Damiano's attittude and the way he flirts with the camera. Maybe not so obvious on the first night but the final performance was sooooo good! These guys are made for being on stage. And I really can't wait to see how the staging/outfits/makeup will be at Eurovision. I wish them lots of luck and I will vote for them 🇮🇹🤘

AND THEY WON!!

Well, Deban was right . They definetely won the televote

Worst result? Seriously? From the first time I heard this song, they were my number 1. This is the BEST Eurovision song EVER. But hey, wiwibloggs ranked Ireland higher than Italy... lack of taste guys.

I'm just a bit sad that every time there's two rock songs it's got to be one OR the other, people can't like both - rock in the Eurovision always gets the Highlander treatment "there can only be One" Måneskin vs Blind Channel aren't remotely similar, why must they be pitched against one another like in a dog fight everywhere I look? Nobody does that for pop music. And there are 40+ of the things every single year. I think we can cope with *two* sets of guitars this year, don't you? Without them being ogled at like lone chained bears in a circus.

Ah yes the two genders: William and Deban reacting to Italy 2021

Their victory is actually a revolution for Sanremo Festival!

It is a shame not everyone understand the lyrics because it is the best part of the song. No matter how much you try to translate it,it is not as good as it sounds in Italian

I love how he says they need to find a more clever way on the stage and whatever when i know for fact Damiano (the singer) can do pole dance 😂 lol he’ll be left in shock

not deban ripping this to shreds and italy winning haha love you deban but you were proved wrong this time!!

Massive F for Deban. Looooooool

Deban should know that at Sanremo they sing and sound live!!! I was astonished to find out that this doesn't happen at Eurovision, wtf, we don't live in '90 no more, music should be done only live at such levels!

Damiano won the lyrics prize too.

Europe has spoken 🤟🤟🤟🤟

Bravo les Maneskin from France 🇫🇷🇮🇹🇮🇹🇫🇷

A shame? Well, for me Italy has nothing to be ashamed about... also the final performance was on 🔥🔥

It's even more fun watching this after their win. The one on the left is absolutely losing it for the song, their charisma, their look, and Damiano--just like Europe did. And the one on the right is just so wrong.

Went back through their catatalogue - these guys are fabulous - really really fabulous. Points from Australia!!!! Favourite so far.

We’re so proud of MANESKIN as our entry (never been prouder honestly)🔥🤘🏻 they’ll eat esc stage up

I'm more excited to see Deban's reaction because recently he has become so hard to please. Pandemic is really making the world weird. LOL. But I do have the same excitement of this song with William. The song is absolutely perfection. Deban must be born again into the world of Rock. LOL

When I'm watching these I feel like I always agree with William and disagree with Deban xD I really hope Italy will succeed, it's in my top 5 atm :D

William watching the performance is such a mood 🤘🏻

Win ! Hello from russia 1) italy 2) finland 3) italy & finland

Man comparing blind channel with maneskin is like comparing Lacuna Coil with Franz Ferdinand... I mean it has no point, like comparing apples with oranges. You can like one more than the other, but come on...

I said months ago. This song is this year's winner 😍😍😍😍😍

And now they are the winners of Eurovision 2021!!! 5/23/21

... they won eurovision

well - and now they won! YESSSSSS Italy!!!!

I still don't understand people complaining that Italy's entry is too "basic" for a rock song but then get super hyped for Finland, as if that song was "original"🤔🤔 Edit: I wonder how Deban feels now that Måneskin have won, getting 1st with televote an 4th with juries. Wasn't this supposed to be Italy's worst result since their comeback???🤣🤣🤣

In the words of Violet Chachki: “She is bothered, she is insecure and delusional.” You go Italy ♥

do not worry Deban, in a year no one will remember what you said :) maybe ...: D

hi guys from Italy. To be honest, my favourite song was “musica leggerissima”, that arrived in the 4th place. This is an important result because, as you probably know, here Festival di Sanremo is not simply a way to qualify at eurovision, but it is the most importante event of the whole year. but anyway, good luck Maneskin, forza Italia!

ITALY 🇮🇹 AND FINLAND🇫🇮 WILL FIGHT UNTIL THE END OF THE EUROFESTIVAL FOR A SOUND HARD ROCK.

Italian Class even in rock music😍

I hope Maneskin win this contest. Such a wonderful Rockband. 😊🤘❤

Thank you for all your support! Molte Grazie❤️

Honestly the best thing is that MAYBE next year there will be more that only 2 rock entries.Thank you Deban I love youuuuu :).

Ehmmm hello, Italy calling here, What did you say??

Lol I love the video, it's like two opposites 🤣. On the left he's excited and smiling, on the right he's "😐"

Omaga, this song is really cool! I'm looking forward to seeing it on the Eurovision stage!

They literally went from 15th place to 10th place to 5th place to win the entire thing ... impressive if we are talking about Sanremo and a rock song! They will definitely be getting my vote ^^

The comments aged like milk 💀

Winner allert!!! 😂 🇮🇹

I am From Azerbaijan and I loved This one This is Glam Rock My Winner Good Luck İtaly 😍😍👑👑💖💖💖❣️❣️💫💫💫🎆

Italy always with the Fast Pass to Top 10 every year!!! France and Italy came to win. I love this Italian Entry ❤️ it takes me back to the early 90's Seattle Grunge Scene.

The Finnish entry sounds completely like Linkin Park, what's original about that?

It's sad that this song will never get out of Blind channel's shadow. People literally can't talk about this without mentioning Finland.

Are you sorry, Deban

1:50 is "scusa mamma" 😂 that means sorry mum. We win 🇮🇹

I didn’t like it this morning, but I’ve listened to it about ten times now...🙄😅

I enjoy this song more and more every day and I am definitely voting for Italy again this year (like most years hahah)

This did not age well

Deban don't like it but he will love san marino I bet 💀

Last year I wrote under yours reaction of Diodato and this year I wanna do the same. As Italian I’m really happy for their winning because this has meant a big change for Italian music and also for the Italian conception of Sanremo’s festival. They are going to bring a beautiful show, an awesome song full of energy but especially full of anger, and I guess that a lot of people is angry and wants to take that anger out. Måneskin are just amazing and in the perfect harmony with what the world is living. In particular way, what Italians lived during the first months of pandemic. We just want our lives back, and if to scream a beautiful anger song in front of the the largest number of viewers will be necessary, they will do it, who cares if is too much, who cares if they will be in the top five or bottom five, who cares if they are worst or better than another rock band! Eurovision will receive a brand new fashion glam rock exhibition. Proud to be Italian because they are going to represent all of our feelings, all of our anger and all our will to go back to normality. Just wait for them. I’m so freaking happy to be represented by them🔥 Forza MÅNESKIN 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹
