My flying reporter Robert managed to
get hold of Nina Zilli for a quick interview even if her entourage
was dragging her away but what doesn't Nina do for Blogilkar and all
it's Italian readers? Anyways, she talks about her Eurovision
knowledge, her dress and shoes, and reveals Italy just might be ready
to win and host the contest in 2013. But where? Find it out here:
Did you know what you got yourself into
when you said ”si” to Eurovision? It's kind of madness here,
isn't it?
Yes and no. And yes, it is! Sanremo is
pretty much the same but it's even worse! It's so busy there, it's
one week and we have to sing every night! I kinda like this
one better!
Did you follow Eurovision before?
Yes of course because Raphael Gualazzi
and Italy came back last year. Plus I really love Raphael, he's such
a great artist! I was so happy for him!
But did you follow it when Italy was
not in the contest?
Oh no. As Italy was away for some many
years.... 13-14 years wasn´t it? And I was a little girl the last time.
But I knew it existed. Now with internet you can go and check
everything out so now I did just that!
I had so many questions for you but I
know you're in a hurry.... Your dress is by Vivienne Westwood. Why a
British designer and not something Italian?
Because she invented the word punk and
I'm punk and rock'n roll as well :-) I really love her cloathes
because they're so neat, so elegant and chic but still they're rock'n
roll!
You have two dresses, did you already
made your mind up which one to wear?
No, I don't know yet.....
And you have a shoe fetish?
Oh yes! And I have to say I have
Westwood's shoes also and Jimmy Choos!
You have been in the music scene for
quite some time now. But artists Nina Zilli exist only for a couple
of years. Why this new start with a change of image and name?
Actually I'm alone for the very first
time. I had many bands before; there was ChiariScuri, there was
Franziska.. I was always a part of something but I wanted to write
songs on my own for myself, and for my band actually. I felt a little
bit grown up now, you know. I was ready to get out there by myself!
And have you found your musical self
now?
Yes, I write what I sing and sing what
I write! I also write the music score startting from the drums, then
to the bass, violins, trumpets... and everything! Every record is
really a piece of me.
What can we expect from Nina Zilli in
the near future?
That's a good question because I don't
know! Ha ha ha! Another album for sure!
What is your favorite Sanremo song? Do
you have one?
Of course! It's Nel blu dipinto di blu
(Volare) from 1958. It's a master piece. Also Non ho l'età (and here
Robert who's also a singer does a nice duet with Nina.... shame we
don't have a video!)
And if you win, I heard from your head
of delegation that Italy will organize it for sure... Must it be Rome
or Milan for you?
Ha! I don't know! I better not say a
word... but... I think Torino! It's one of my favourite cities in
Italy.
Grazie Nina for this interview and good
luck in the final! In bocca al lupo!
