tbh in Sanremo we had even a japane singer who didn't speak italian at all.

At some point we even had songs in english competing. (madness)

Well, there is was not the current rules at the time, or the current media coverage

The rules change basically every year,

And in the last years all song needed to be in italian (and this year we will have the same director then last year), so it's obvious that an english competing song would not be allowed, and with all the media coverage and interview before and after the festival I aslo highly doubt that Conti would invite someone that don't know the language

Well the artistic director is the same of the last year and things already changed since last year ...(Sanremo Giovani is no longer "Sanremo Giovani"). Of course we will not have songs in english, it's just to say that rules change and having a foreign artist singing in italian it's not impossible at all.

We had Ana Mena just three years ago and her spanish accent was REALLY noticeable...
