5. Konstrakta, Serbia
The title of the song “In corpore sano” is a quote from the expression “A healthy mind in a healthy body”. Experimental was not only the composition in the indie pop genre, but also the staging of the number, during which Konstrakta constantly washes his hands in a basin. So the singer ridicules the inflated public ideas about beauty and health.

6. Mahmood & Blanco
The song, performed by popular in Italy Mahmud and Riccardo Fabbriconi, performing under the stage name BLANCO, is called “Brividi”. Perhaps only in Italian can you call goosebumps or chills so beautifully. The ballad from Italy is one of the most beautiful at Eurovision 2022. And the winners of the San Remo festival are definitely the most stylish.

The stage name S10 of the Dutch representative in the competition is a derivative of her real name, Steen.

The composition “De Diepte” (depth) is a reminder of the difficult times when the performer suffered from deep depression.

Sisters from Iceland performed a 1970s-style country ballad in their native language in Turin. It was not at all clear, but very beautiful.
