!! Mahmood provides examples of:
* TheAce: He's the first major beneficiary of the revised Sanremo Music Festival format, having earned a spot in the competition after winning Sanremo Giovani, later going on to win the whole thing despite fierce competition from the likes of established acts in the Italian music industry, including prior Sanremo victors Music/IlVolo.
* AmbiguouslyBrown / NoTrueScotsman: Claims Egyptian heritage from his father, while his mother is Sardinian. His ambiguous appearance led to some less ''enlightened'' folk to denounce his Sanremo victory and accuse him of not "really" being Italian, despite being fully born & raised in Italy (specifically Milan) and not even speaking a word of Arabic, just Italian.

Alessandro Mahmoud, known professionally as '''Mahmood''' (born 12 September 1992), is an Italian singer.

Mahmood came to prominence on the sixth season of Italy's ''[[Series/TheXFactor X Factor]]'' in 2012, originally not making the cut for Simona Ventura's Boys category, but later earning a spot in the live shows as a wildcard contestant. He ultimately finished sixth.

In 2018, he competed in the inaugural Sanremo Giovani competition, an offshoot of the Sanremo Music Festival formerly known as their Newcomer category, and emerged as one of two winners alongside fellow competitor Einar. His victory guaranteed him a spot in the main show a few months later, [[TheAce which he also went on to win]].

Because of his success at Sanremo, Mahmood went on to represent Italy at the Series/EurovisionSongContest 2019, with his winning entry [[MoneySong "Soldi"]].
