Maybe she's refeering to the fact that the tune of the song reflects the traditional tuneful Italian song, which is supposed to be for the old.I guess I must be included amongst the old ones, but I'd like Elisa to remember that those my generation grew up with the songs of the most talented singersongwriters ever, such as De André, Vecchioni, De Gregori, Dalla, Baglioni, Venditti, Lauzi, Battisti. So I think that most people my generation can tell whether a song is bad or not. I said that the text is an awful list of commonplaces full of rethoric (I guess that Battisti, Gaber or De André would be spinning in their graves if they could have listened to this song). The tune isn't that bad IMO: Pupo set the music by being inspired by the tradional Italian tuneful song. However I had expected Pupo, who wrote a couple of little masterpieces such as "Firenze Santa Maria Novella", and "Lidja a Mosca" to do much better. The tenor was blameless.
Apart from Malika Ayane and Tiziano Ferro, who are some light years far from the above mentioned singersongwriters, today's Italian music hasn't got much to offer, I'm afraid.
