I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TALK ABOUT LOVE - CELENTANO
YEAR 1999 -
At least 2 million Italians have bought this album by Gianni Bella and Mogol. Because it's their album we're talking about. Here Celentano only succeeds in the arduous task of ruining and dismantling the pieces of the duo that diligently crafts for the singer, who has been worn out since he was born.
If they had just given the 12 titles to Marcella Bella, it would have turned out to be something definitely cuter and less detestable.
As I mentioned before, Celentano manages to put his touch on it and ruin all the songs with his absurd and heartless way of interpreting (which he isn't). A Don Backy would certainly have shown him up. But often the winner is the one with the fuller wallet who can even buy the consciences of others.
The only unforgivable mistake by Mogol and Gianni Bella was the little act between them and Celentano when, during one of the singer of Via Gluck's pointless little programs, the two authors were heavily insulted regarding their singing (Mogol) and dressing style (Bella) by this idiot who seemed to be the owner of all Rai networks.
It's hard to review this album. I can only say that in the few moments when Celentano doesn't sing (the absolutely brilliant ending of: "Qual'è la direzione?" with strings played forcefully by Maestro Serio doubled by clever electronics, and the first 2 seconds' beginning of: "l'emozione non ha voce") you can turn up the stereo volume. For the rest, you may as well keep it low.
ps: the CD can be used as a doorstop or used wisely during parties between lawyers and managers when the unlucky one of the turn starts singing: "Io non so parlar d'amore l'emozione non ha voce..."

01 Gelosia (04:31)
Non ho nessuno a parte te
che mi ha tradito come sai
io mi sento un'auto che non ha, non ha piu il motore
e mi sento un uomo che vivra
nel suo dolore, nel dolore
solo nel suo dolore ormai
Eppur mi sento forte sai
sara perche non odio mai
di certo non dovrei soffrir cosi, cosi inutilmente
solamente perche hai detto un si
stupidamente, stupidamente
con il cervello assente
Amica mia, quanto costa una bugia
un dolore che dividiamo in due tra noi
La gelosia, quando arriva non va piu via
col silenzio tu mi rispondi che
col tuo pianto tu mi rispondi che
coi tuoi occhi tu mi rispondi che lo sai
La gelosia... piu la scacci e piu l'avrai
tu eri mia... di chi sei piu non lo sai
complicita... ma che gran valore ha
sincerita... che fortuna chi c'e l'ha
E' qui il serpente e arrivato
e qui seduto in mezzo a noi
lui ti mangia il cuore come fosse... un pomodoro
cosi diventi pazzo tu
e come un toro, e come un toro
purtroppo non ragioni piu
Amica mia, quanto costa una bugia
un dolore che dividiamo in due tra noi
La gelosia, quando arriva non va piu via
col silenzio tu mi rispondi che
col tuo pianto tu mi rispondi che
coi tuoi occhi tu mi rispondi che lo sai
La gelosia... piu la scacci e piu l'avrai
tu eri mia... di chi sei piu non lo sai
complicita... ma che gran valore ha
sincerita... che fortuna chi c'e l'ha

It is a work of class, homogeneous and of quality, that has restored Italian light music to its rightful level of dignity.
An album full of beautiful songs, centered around love, narrated and sung through its multiple emotional states.
