"What difference was there between her, Giorgia, Irene Grandi, or Carmen Consoli?" Well, I would immediately start by eliminating Irene Grandi because she is unbearable, and she sounds like the female and more pop version of Vasco Rossi. I would also remove Giorgia because she is not a singer-songwriter: she is a singer, with a superlative voice, who sings pop/light music, some of which are very beautiful, others horrible. I would have compared her to a certain L'AURA, who is a singer-songwriter with a velvet voice (that also recalls Elisa's singing), and in terms of genre, she is probably the closest to Elisa: and nevertheless, she is six floors above Elisa, who has made some decent things with her first album and partly with "Then Comes the Sun" and the "Broken" album, but afterwards she has declined significantly. Listen to L'AURA if you don't already know her; she is indeed an excellent artist. This single by Elisa is decent, or perhaps even more than decent, but certainly not a 5 and I don't think even a full 4: a 3.5, 4- at most.

I really like it. For me, "Moonlight Shadow" is one of the most beautiful pieces ever made in the Pop landscape. "In my opinion, more than the 80s, it was the punk preceding it (and everything that came from it, No/New Wave, synth pop, etc.) that gave a jolt to the prog wagon." Exactly, good job: it was Punk, with its short songs, its four bare chords, its simplicity but also its irreverence, that sank the Prog movement, of which it was the perfect musical antithesis. In fact, the songs by the Ramones were born as a reaction to the pompous and complex intellectual musical suites of Progressive.

I've listened to just a couple of singles, both old and new, and honestly, they don't particularly convince me.

INESTIMABLE.

Ah, to the people who went to see it for the reasons already mentioned, I’d like to add a few more categories: 1 - Those who didn’t want to see it but were dragged along by their girlfriend, (more than one of my friends) 2 - The girls who went just to see Raoul Bova, ("it sucks but I get to check out a hot guy": okay, fair enough, I’ve often watched a movie just to enjoy the view of some beautiful girl), 3 - Those who went to see it because "it’s moving, it’s romantic," and this category falls into that of teenagers who "really believe in it," already mentioned in the previous post. Because this is neither romantic, nor moving, nor can it be defined as a love story: I don’t want to mention "Aurora" or "Romeo and Juliet," but in my country "Love Story" is a love film, romantic and very touching; there's even "Ghost," which at least has a star-studded cast; but "Sorry but I’m calling you love" absolutely NOT. Because if "thanks to Moccia and this book it personally makes me believe again in the carefree nature and dreams that all of us teenagers keep in a drawer," in MY COUNTRY a 37-year-old dating a 17-year-old is PEDOPHILIA, not "A dream of love": forget that the 37-year-old is Raoul Bova, but if it happened to YOU, do you think it would be a "dream" thing? I really don’t think so.

Basketcasegirl, I am 21 years old. 21, not 40. And I’m not afraid to say that this film is horrible. Some know it but still watch it, (like: "it’s crap for brainless people but my friends are going to see it, so I might as well watch it for a night out at the cinema... and it’s still better than staying home doing nothing, so I’m going out!": this is the mindset of my girlfriend, just over 19.), while there’s a large majority of teenagers who seriously believe in this nonsense. And for this type of adolescent/young person, the comment from HardRock92, Rikardo, and especially Marpado is spot on: never were words more fitting.
