Matia Bazar
Sei tu
(Golzi-Cassano-Perversi)
Dir Peppe Vessicchio

Silvia Mezzanotte is back in the band like lead vocalist and Matia Bazar presents this new song "Sei tu". A classic ballad in pure Matia Bazar Style that somethimes remind other famous songs. Is a song perfect for the festival and the radio with a powerfull refrain. Is song that talks about love, about a difficult love story a sort of winter without end. "You are the one who stole my heart"



Arisa
La notte
(Giuseppe Anastasi)
Dir Mauro Pagani

Arisa is back for the third time, she decide to change her look and in this change we can appreciate her new style. He sing again a song written by Giuseppe Anastasi, a romanic and melancholy song that is a story of a confused woman that during the night try to understand the direction of her life. Arisa confirm her talent and he made a great really great performanve. Vocally is the best song of this first night !


Pierdavide Carone e Lucio Dalla
Nanì
(Carone-Dalla)
Dir Lucio Dalla

A love song with a prostitute, Nanì is working all the time without time in a world made of loneliness. A sweet love song between two different worlds. Really exciting is the duet made by their two voices together. This is the other duet of this festival. In pure Dalla's style mixet with the coolnes by Pierdavide.



Nina Zilli
Per Sempre
(Casalino-Zilli)
Dir Peppe Vessichio

Another great song written by Nina and Roberto Casalino. Nina confirm her vintage style that remind to 60's sound, if you close your eyes it's seems an old Sanremo and during the refrain her voice remind to Mina. A love song about a woman that soffers following a man. Great Nina!


Gigi D'alessio e Loredana Bertè
Respirare
(D'Alessio-D'Agostino)
Dir Adriano Pennino

Sanremo is the right place where you can find unthinkable duets and this year is the moment for this one that combine Gigi D'Alessio the undisputed king of the Neomelodic Music Scene with Loredana Bertè the trasgressive queen of the Italian music. "To Breathe" is a Typicall D'Alessio song based on a funk-rock riff, a dialogue between Gigi and Loredana seems a real conversation a man with many questions and a woman that had a hard life.


Eugenio Finardi
Ma tu lo chiami Dio
(Roberta Di Lorenzo)
Dir Carlo Gaudielo

Eugenio is back to Sanremo with this song written by Roberta Di Lorenzo. An intimate song that describe a moment of reflection about the meaning of life, two different point of view one near and one far from the concept of God. Life is often difficult and in front of the pain you can search God or Love. Eugenio use a high tone that give to the song a sense of fragility.

Marlene Kuntz
Canzone per un figlio
(Godano-Tesio-Bergia)
Dir Vittorio Cosma

They finally decided to go to Sanremo Festival. There's a big debate on the web, because is unusual and provocative for the italian indie-rock scene when a band like Marlene decide to partecipate this festival. They present a great song with Godano on the acoustic guitar like in some new songs. The song is direct, a message to a son and a sort of message to everybody that present a way to feel and search the Joy and the happyness written by Cristiano in his evocative and predicative style. The song is great and full of power and intimate moments... is funny to listen a Marlene's song with the wind orchestra below..


Emma
Non è l'inferno
(Silvestre-Sala-Palmosi)
Dir Pino Perris

The right song for the right singer at the right time. This is the song that Emma present, "Non è l'inferno" talk about the crisis we are leaving in Italy, how is difficult to preserve workers rights, to live with less money every month, with people that decide to work in military mission but afterall somebody feel this situation like a hell and arrive to chose the way to the suicide. A sort of scream perfect for all italians in this period, maybe simple but so straight to the heart of the people and it's so rock! I fell that is the song that could win, Great song By Francesco Silvestre (Modà), Luca Sala and Enrico Palmosi


Irene Fornaciari
Grande Mistero
(Davide Van der Sfross)
Dir Max Marcolini

Third time at Sanremo, she presents an aggressive song full of energy with a powerfull ending. It's a reflection about a life, the "big mistery" of the meaning of life. The words decribe little nature moments, a black cat, a bat or a wave compared with what we fel. Irene is a cool interpreter of this simple song.



Chiara Civello
Al posto del mondo
(Civello- Tejera)
Dir Peppe Vessicchio

Tont Bennet said that Chiara is the best jazz singer of her generation. "More high, in this sky is impossible to fall down lying in a field of stars, the words don't speack beacause you replaced the world now!". First time for this great artist in Sanremo. She present this nice romantic song that she wrote in 2009 with Diana Tejera, a song with a tango aftertaste by the use of the accordion
Francesco Renga
La tua Bellezza
(Renga-Mancino-Faini)
Dir Peppe Vessicchio
A rock love song, a hymn about the beauty, a declaration by one lover. This song describe a furious and fragile beauty in pure Renga's Style. He's one of the most important rock voice in Italy, he create a sort of style that combine rock with the italian melodic tradition.
The songwriting is by Renga, Diego Mancino and the Dario Faini

Noemi
Sono solo parole
(Fabrizio Moro)
Dir Enrico Melozzi

She presents a song written by Fabrizio Moro. A crescendo between a beginnig full of reflections about the meaning of love and life full of nostalgia.. thery're only words and in the refrain explodes the rock Noemi attitude . She reminds again Mia Martini, as usual full of energy an emotional song.



Samuele Bersani
Un Pallone
(Samuele Bersani)
Dir. Vittorio Cosma
He dressed a Frak without papillon and football boots, he's back at Sanremo Festival with this song that's the story of a soccer ball. As usual he sing methaphor, this ball was in an afficial soccer field a and then stolen, then stuk on a roof, then escaped, perforated and at the end abandoned. Everyone can find a different story in this song. He plays as usual with the words and he decribes the world by his intelligent and disenchantment point of view. The bridge and some musical part remind a sort of tune taken from a circus or a broken carillon with oriental sound. Ingenious a usual a new poems by this great singer songwriter

Dolcenera
"Ci vediamo a casa"
(Dolcenera)
Dir. Fabio Gurian
"Come sarebbe bello dire che noi ci amiamo tanto da morire e che qualunque cosa accada noi ci vediamo a casa" ..a hope between lovers. She describe a world full of an empty freedom, without heroes and civilization, is impossible to breathe in this new coltural system. A reality without deponents a sort of freedom... By the end there's something wrong outside and the best thing fore loves is to come back home to recreate a sweet nest.
Musically is a sort of epic ride that enhances the power of her voice, the guitars line remind a tipically Edge (U2) style.
Dolcenera look like youthfull as usual and she has a good performance.

FISRT DAY

All the newspaper today talk above all about Celentano and his anticipated monologue. He talked about this period and mainly he criticizet the italian press and primarily two chatolic's newspaper like Avvenire and Famiglia Cristiana.
What else? There was a problem whit the vote's system and they didn't eliminate any singer, and the main female assistant was ill and they reused the two girls of the last year Canalis and Belen..
Here we are Sanremo number 62 is stars..and finally see you with the music...
