Elisa

I've been following Elisa since the beginning. The first three albums are excellent. It's not true that she then stopped making good music. She tarnished her image with some silly singles in Italian, but those songs are the worst tracks on the albums that include them. The rest is not bad. I hold her in high regard because she is a complete artist: she plays several instruments, writes the songs, and has a beautiful voice. I'm speaking as someone who has seen her live twice. Moreover, she has remained a humble person; success hasn't changed her.
