This week's videos come a day late as your blogger's been walking the streets of Rome. And the song I heard the most was Ola's I'm in love, that was literally playing everywhere. All the time. I also heard Marco Mengoni's Pronto a correre a few times on radio. Then two older songs as they are among those albums I bought. Roberto Amadé's Come pioggia (Sanremo 2011) is still a fantastic song I don't get tired of. I did get wet in Rome as well, but summer rain never hurt anyone, especially if it lasts 5 minutes and it's +35! Last but not least Cesare Cremonini. I got his greatest hits and boy, has this guy gone far in his career. I met him and his then band Lunapop in 1998 when they were having their very first TV-appearance in some local TV station in Rome. Poor guys, five of them, could only afford one room in a hotel. The rest is history! Latin lover is one of my favorites from his solo stuff. Maybe it's time he does Sanremo, or writes a song to his girlfriend Malika to take to Denmark 2014?
The Azerbaijani selection show for the represant was as long as the selection process for the five finalists. Kurt Calleja from Malta and Can Bonomo from Turkey were present with Ell/Nikki to see Sabina Babayeva to emerge as the winner after each and every finalist had done about zillion songs amongst other guests. Now the Azeri TV will shop around a suitable song for her.
