Gigi D'Alessio

Indeed, he is a very well-regarded singer even in the north... so he's not just a local phenomenon from Campania, and that alone is surprising. But what leaves one more perplexed is that regardless of each person's musical tastes, all of which are perfectly valid, good old Gigi really sings poorly... with a voice that is, frankly, not pleasant at all, worse than many in his genre who, nonetheless, haven't achieved his level of success. Evidently, the character of D'Alessio is appealing; the reason? I don't know.
