There is controversy over Antonello Venditti’s words on current music, in particular on Annalisa and Angelina Mango. A controversy, honestly, sterile. First of all, the singer-songwriter didn’t offend anyone but simply expressed his own opinion (completely legitimate and then, let’s be honest, we’re talking about Venditti, certainly not the first one to come by). Not only. The Roman artist himself then took to social media to make some clarifications. What happened? Below are all the details.
Venditti’s words
In a recent interview with Leggo, Venditti addressed various topics. Among these, there is also one relating to the current panorama of Italian music. “These young people are good: I know how to do what they do, but they don’t know how to do what I do. Unlike us, they are pierced by deadlines, they are afraid of being forgotten. And take Annalisa: she is a very good singer , but she was forced by the market to become something else than herself. Angelina Mango too. Fantastic performers and then there is someone who decides the sound for everyone”, Venditti’s words reported by Leggo. So controversy broke out on the web and Venditti wanted to clarify.

Venditti’s half-turn
Via Facebook, writes Novella 2000, Venditti returned to the topic and said: “Attention! [..] I love Annalisa, Angelina Mango and Madame’s great talent so the whole article is a huge stretch just to create strange and useless comparisons. I have heard them interpret songs by great songwriters with great skill, but evidently for today’s market it is not enough to be good. It demands a look and a presumed sensuality imposed by a further presumed now globalized sound. A hug”.
