Malmo 2013 39 For 39: Marco Mengoni "L'essenziale"


Back with a grand final 'big six,' with a review of "L'essenziale" by Marco Mengoni.

Mengoni is a product of manufactured pop. In 2009, he won season three of some Italian show based upon the UK show of the same name. In "L'essenziale," he demonstrates that this is not the typical manufactured pop that is heard on those types of television shows. This is a simple ballad. Take a listen:


It is a good song, but I don't think it's a winner. He won't have to go through the semifinal phase since he is guaranteed only for the grand final May 18.

I also don't think this is a better tune than "L'amore e Femmina" by Nina Zilli, which represented Italy last year in Baku. 'L'amore' was a better tune, but this is good. Hope for the best.

Up next, a reveiw of PeR "Here We Go."
