Marco Mengoni is probably the most talked about Italian singer of this year. Born in Ronciglione, Latium, in 1988, he was the winner of the third Italian version of The X Factor in 2009, and ended up in 3rd place at the Sanremo Music Festival 2010. This year, he also won the TRL award “Man of the Year” and the “Best European Act” at the MTV Music Awards. His second album “Re Matto” debuted straight to n.1 in the Italian EP chart and it has sold over 100,000 copies.
“In un giorno qualunque” (“On an ordinary day”) is the first single from the live version of the Re Matto album, it’s a powerful ballad where Mengoni shows all his wide vocal range. It reached n.5 in the Italian singles chart in November. The song’s refrain, as some critics noticed, does bear a resemblance to R. Kelly’s “I believe I can fly”.
His voice is characteristic of a distinguishing timbre, typically soul with pop-rock marks. In an interview, Mengoni has described his musical sound as “british-black”, and that his biggest influence were the Beatles.
Lyrics
Vedi, si rimane in piedi
anche se tu non ci credi
dimmi cosa vuoi sapere
cosa vuoi di questo amore
Anche se non respiro
e non mi vedo piu’
in un giorno qualunque
dove non ci sei tu
anche se aspetto il giorno
quello che dico io
dove ogni tuo passo
si confonde col mio .
Forse serve un po’ di tempo
credo, spero, penso, sento
voglio essere importante
per te e non per la gente
Anche se non respiro
e non mi vedo piu’
in un giorno qualunque
dove non sei tu
anche se aspetto il giorno
quello che dico io
dove ogni tuo passo
si confonde col mio
niente da dire
niente da fare
forse c’e’ un tempo per riprovare
Perche’ tu sarai sempre
il mio solo destino
posso soltanto amarti
senza mai nessun freno
Anche se non respiro
e non mi vedo piu’
in un giorno qualunque
dove non ci sei tu

Hi Sandro! I can’t listen. It says not available in my country…BooHoo! I thought you should know that we Americans can’t see it.
I hope you can find another version. I will check back tomorrow.
I hope you are having a great weekend!

I have uploaded a different video, I hope this one can be seen by my American friends and readers. Pls someone let me know, thanks!
Hey, I just wanted to say I love the snow effect you are using on your blog.
Hi Sandro,
I only gave him a 3. I like him but so far Pooh really has my heart.
But, all of the songs sound so wonderful and romantic in your beautiful Italian language. Can I move there?
Hope you are having a great night Sandro and will have an awesome week!
Jackie:-)
Wow..someone is redecorating. I like it. I think this format works well for you and all of the various videos. I love the snow too.
I have to tackle some design issues here after while. Grrr…my friend who usually helps me is changing hosts companies for all of her blogs. So no help from her today.
Happy day Sandro!
Jackie:-)
Love this song.
4/5 from me
I love, love, love this performer. I saw him on X-factor and thought he was extremely versatile and natural. And I thought he was No. 1 material for San Remo. Someone must have paid for the the other two to place before him.
This video seems to be clocked by Youtube where I am that is a shame…. oh well thats how it goes I guess.
Marco Mengoni is a dazzling artist, here in Italy has quite a lot of supporters. Italy’s most known singer of all times, Mina, has crowned him as the most talented young singer she ever heard!

This music is magnificent. Maybe he can sing in other genres (hiphop, house! LOL). Anyway Marco’s voice and music is one the best.
