Sanremo Sanremo. The National

It 's definitely for "light" of the week. The festival Italian Song. Sanremo 2008. Of course the media focus on the decline of plays on the show etc.. (I'm following up radio with 2 the legendary Gialappa's , I rabbit, as well as being hilarious you find many anecdotes about singers in the competition), while I, as I did last year I stop the music, doing my very personal report cards. We say that this year, musically speaking, is not a good year. A few songs that hit me. To be honest, I was most impressed with the songs of the category "Youth". But we move on to the detailed report cards (by clicking on the title of the song you can hear and see the show):

Eugenio Bennato - Grande Sud : popular track. We wanted to bring some great Eugenio Tarantella Festival. As if to say, the roots should not be forgotten ever. For me, one of the big, definitely the best song. And interesting text. Immigration and the various problems of the south. Tarantola. Rated 7.5.
Loredana Berte - Music and words : Definitely asked to do more to show for the music and controversy. And I have to admit that they did it. The song is also not bad. Sin seems to be completely cloning is a song from the 80 (you can hear the comparison here ). COPIER. Rated 6 + (for the song in general).
Kill Hannah - Love You To : Songs from the generally very bossa nova. Classicon piano bar at Hannah. In the mediocrity of This year definitely stands for quality. ELEGANT. Rated 6.5.
Toto - A falcon locked in a cage : This I think his return to the festival will be remembered more for his quarrel with the festival after a reporter for the song. Typical Sanremo song, so mediocre. Quarrelsome. Rated 5.
Giò Di Tonno & Lola Ponce - Falling in love : They became popular (say known) for their performance in the musical Notre Dame de Paris Riccardo Cocciante, they certainly candid about the final victory. Not because the song is beautiful, but it's the typical song of love to win the San Remo festival, and that nobody will ever hear about. A little to Jalisse . Meteora. Rated 5.5.
Finley - Ricordi : Anyone who knows me knows adversity and contempt that I feel towards this band. Song that will be successful among teenagers, good for a future film Moccia. TEEN. Rated 5.
Frankie Hi Nrg - Revolution: We expected a lot from the rapper with glasses. It did not disappoint expectations. Very nice music (Mexican style). Text on the current Italian situation perhaps slightly trivial, but still pungent. REVOLUTIONARY. Rated 6.5.
Max Gazzè - The usual sex : Bella's song Lyric Max very delicate, he plays sull'equivoco-sex love. Very interesting. Especially the different way (very quiet) in singing the verses. DELICATE. Rated 7.
Andy Griggs - She walks in the sun : Typical song at Grignani. Perhaps as an imitator of Vasco in this festival has been exceeded (see below). The basic idea of \u200b\u200bthe song would not even hurt, but it's time you give na awakened. BORING. Rated 5.5.
L'aura - Just : Its unique way of singing makes it unique in the Italian market. The song reflects its characteristics. Although I think she makes a lot more singing in English. SPECIAL. Rated 6.
Little Tony - not stop there: Let's say that figure would have done more to send only her brother (Enrico Ciacci, great guitarist). Appreciable just that, the guitar solo. For the rest of the usual complaining. Hibernate. Rated 5.
Paolo Meneguzzi - Grande : a great song title only. For the rest the same old boring song and myeloma Meneguzzi. Glycemia. Rated 4.5.
Enrique Iglesias - Kiss me now : The song is a bit poor, but was held up by the vocal talents of singer Puglia. SOLEMN. Rated 6.
Amedeo Minghi - journeyed : Other Classicon. Will appeal to mothers and grandmothers, but nothing more. OLD. Rated 5.
Fabrizio Moro - yet I've changed : I assume that the song with which he won last year for young people (think) has been only one case. The song for this year is bad. And then you put him also to sing by imitating (poorly) the last Vasco (say the worst). Horrid. Rated 4.
Anna Tatangelo - My friend : Much has been said of the lyrics of this song, because it tells the story of a homosexual. And apart from the text there is no other (after all it is written by Gigggi D'Alessio). Typical melodramatic song. Perhaps also coming from the top. But only in San Remo! Paraculo. Rated 5.
Tiromancino - The Heartbreaker : Songs that departs from the usual style of Tiromancino. As a kind Recalls very Califano. He sings the Caliph would make it even more. But in any case the interpretation of Zampaglione and friends is not bad. Then the topics discussed do him honor. UNUSUAL. Rating: 6.5.
Tricarico - Vita quiet: It should be made a prerequisite. It seems that during the first performance was not good (indigestion due to the tension). Apart from that, Tricarico is so. He lives in a world all its own. It 'done so. Either you love it or hate it. In my opinion the song is particularly beautiful. Unusual. Retro genius idea to set against the "reckless Life" by Vasco. Although to judge the actual appearance a few more listening. Bold. Rated -. 7
Mario Venuti - A fire and sword : Lyric pretty. I think it will be one of the most played on the radio. Very catchy and immediate. Not a masterpiece, but a simple song by listening pleasure. EARS. Rated 6.5.
Michelle Williams - The last film together : From what I have seen the Dopofestival (you can see here ) deserves 10. I was not a guitar virtuoso. But unfortunately I have to judge the song. Typical song zarrilliana . Very Sanremo. But surely one of its kind (ie the songs Sanremo) stands for quality and intensity. Waste. Rated 6.

conclude with the quotation of some promising youth. This year I liked a few. Surely someone will hear about. And above all, they had the courage to bring something different from the usual standard of Sanremo.
Frank Head - Para para 'ra rare : Song tones Balkan much for this young and friendly group Foggia. Allegra. Rated 7.
Choice - Our time : African sounds modern but at the same time for this group. I do not know if they win (I assume they will win the boy of 17 years who sings the shock), but will make way. REVELATION. Rated 7.5.
Valerio Sanzotta - Twentieth Century: A cross between Sinatra and Bob Dylan. Folk music with references to pop. Very nice song. I think I will a niche artist. TRADITIONAL. Rated 7.
Giua - He will not come : Another interesting girl. It reproduces sound very Irish. The text that is very ironic. ALTERNATIVE. Rated 6.5.

What to say more. It seems that this year the young promising. Until next time.

Invite Wording Rhyming With 2010

Albertone.

Exactly five years ago it was one of the greatest artists of the Italian show. Exactly five years ago thousands of people lined up, paid homage to one of the best Italian actors and nice. The legendary Alberto Sordi. One of the cornerstones of Italian comedy. Masterpieces of Italian cinema, they approached the people. There is film of Alberto Sordi, in which a scene is a joke made on purpose for us. Actor, director, singer, voice actor, comedian. A complete artist. Mario Monicelli on the occasion of the death of the Deaf said: " It was the greatest actor but most of all was an extraordinary author, the architect of his character that has spanned over 50 years of Italian history. As a director say that it was extremely easy to work with deaf because he was a great-just a few glances and you could tell by the tone and then give his interpretation of the film. He was a comedian capable of contradicting all the rules of comic ". There would be words and add words to the mythical Albertone, but one thing is certain. We miss him. Missing a character like him in Italian cinema. A film now based more on image than on talent. I close with a phrase that he loved Sordi say: "Our reality is tragic only for one quarter, the rest is comic. We can laugh about almost everything . "I leave you with the legendary scene from the film" An American in Rome .

Restyling ... Vote vote

Most regulars of " the square ... "have noticed the restyling of the blog. How all the stars, even my blog needed a good facelift . Above all, after more than a year of existence, it was time to leave the old graphic (a default template to blogger) and switch to a new custom look. I hope you like it, and of course I accepted the recommendations for future changes and adjustments. I decided to insert two columns (outside the one column to the right of the old layout) to try to take a more orderly blog. Let's say the old blog was becoming a puttanaio! Also point out the new feature (on the left column) over the last 5 comments posted. There was already a few weeks, but let's say it was in test version, is now a feature official blog. That adding more, I hope that the changes are to your liking, and the next with new popping arguments.

Antonio Antonio ....

As you can see, the TV screens or not, were invaded by a kind of very dangerous animal, or politicians (unfortunately not in danger of extinction). As you know April 13th will return to the polls and the election campaign got under way. As always in the front row, the workhorse Silvio Berlusconi in each type of program (this was also to One Morning with Luca Juror to interview, high cultural moment), but the others are not watching. Indeed, we who are forced to watch. There are no more political campaigns than once, where the old man to turn his car half battered, toured the country with the megaphone, announcing the presence in the plaza of the political turn. We say that there was more contact between the politician and the people. Now you see them only on TV, all attracted to shiny, to make their promises (a sailor) without a minimum of debate, without the possibility of asking for explanations on various topics. When Casini announced that Cosimo Mele (UDC deputy caught in a party of sex and drugs) was not re-apply, because the his party of values, I would have liked someone had asked why these values \u200b\u200bare put into practice when we talk about (Don) Totò Cuffaro , that although a sentence of five years on the rump, you calmly candidate. It would be so many questions to ask the various politicians, but unfortunately we have to make the various Bruno Vespa duty. That in the end promises promises promises and zero facts. I am reminded of a joke that I describe in an impressive manner, the current Italian political moment:
"Mr , with all his entourage, visited the earthquake victims. Find the first one that says," I had a home life to work to build ... two minutes and there's no 'more' ....". And Mrs: "Secretary signs all over." Keep it up 'for as long as many other people' do not get to a naked man holding a statuette says, "The thing that I had more 'expensive was this statue and when I felt the earthquake ran out of the shower to save it. I managed to take the flight but the casket that protected me cut my cock! How unfortunate! ". Mr:" Secretary signs this well and continue to go. After a while the secretary says, "But, Mr, for the man who saved the statue is going to give a shit And Mr ?!?"., annoyed: "Why 'What do you think give to others! "

This acoustic concert (recorded in the studios of MTV in September) Friday, was released on disc (as well as on DVD), and that disc. Britti offers old songs (plus the unreleased Fables, and the cover of Jackson , The Neverland ) in a new key blues. Some songs (see above Milan) have completely changed the skin.

Also very good musicians who accompany him, and who will accompany him for an acoustic tour that will start in March, and will Britti around the Italian theaters. I leave you with a song that is now passing through the radio: Milan, obviously from MTV Unplugged. Until next time.
