SAN MARINO 2013 - Valentina Monetta - Crisalide

[RainyWoods]

It WAS the same. Now his is a keyboard that played for Valentina.

It is It's given me a new breath of life though to watch these videos and see my keyboard model being played for Valentina. I will now dream of one day playing my red Nord keyboard for her as she's sings a jazz version of one of her many Eurovision entries.

 

[RainyWoods]

I cannot stop myself from listening to Valentina's jazz interpretation of "Chrysalis (You'll Be Flying)". I've listened to it 22 times since last night. Matt, you and Valentina have enriched my life. I truly thank you

It's a magnificent version of the song. When she goes into the bridge towards the end "You'll see the liiiiiiiiiiiiiiighttttttt" Sensational, I get chills. Such a moving performance. It's going to be hard now to listen to the standard version of the song. Even hard for Valentina to sing it. How could you go back to the old music when you have such freedom and movement in that Jazz version?

 

[Odalis]

Oh i want that jazz version in mp3 studio version, but i'm afraid they won't release it

 

[Franco]

Such a moving performance. It's going to be hard now to listen to the standard version of the song.

Yep. This version is much better. I don't know why they didn't choose it in first instance.

 

[Mozz]

No need to thank, the video is in the process of being uploaded but as said, the Internet here is kinda sucky but in due time it'll show up

OMG. WHAT A VERSION. It's so INTENSE. She's stunned me again. I think I'm in a slight shock :shock:

 

[RainyWoods]

Oh i want that jazz version in mp3 studio version, but i'm afraid they won't release it

Use a youtube to mp3 website and rip it if you don't mind the quality. I hope she'll release it in studio version too. Maybe on Valentina's next album? As the plans are to record a new one after the contest.

This version is over 4:30 in length and it's perfect. I couldn't imagine it shortened. But yes, this version is far superior. I'm really sad as this is the TRUE 100% Valentina Monetta. This is her life, her passion. She lives for Jazz and I want people all around Europe to hear her sing it. The Jazz version of the "Social Network Song" is sensational as well. She is incredible. She doesn't just sing, she feels the music in her body. She becomes one with the music. Epic artist.

I would rip it but i don't think i wanna listen to good music in such a bad quality, so i'll just wait and hope that there will be a studio version of this gem

I listen to good music in bad quality all the time. I have so many bootleg concert recordings of some of my favourite artists. It sounds like they are singing into tin cans sometimes I think i'm just used to it. I like lofi recordings and music.

 

[Krishoes]

With this swing-jazz version she gave a new sense to the "beep beep song"

 

[Franco]

I'm really sad as this is the TRUE 100% Valentina Monetta.

Agree. This is less Ralph Siegel and all Valentina Monetta.

This video is a simple explaination to all questioning our love, sympathy and admiration for Valentina. To me it answers all the questions in that ~4:30.
When I look at many singers who look like they were released from the same music factory with uninspired songs and performances I'm just glad I can come back and just listen to THIS.

 

[RainyWoods]

I've been listening to the swing version of "The Social Network Song" for months. She has a video of her singing it on youtube with a jazz ensemble. Valentina's taken something that totally wasn't her and made it into something 110% her. Brilliant song filled with irony

 

[Musicosity]

I'll join the chorus then; Valentina should have gone with the jazz version in the first case, it is even better than the original one. It also sets a better light to her remarkably natural way of singing. It's like she has a walk in the park, a talk with her friends, then she'll sing a nice song or two and have an apple for a quick snack afterwards. It appears so completely "normal" for her to do it. There is no switching-on or off of her skills like with so many other singers. I love it!

 

[nekoisneko]

OMG, both songs sound great

I love it

You have just spoken it all there. Show this video to anyone who questions why we love Valentina so much. The video would show them and if it didn't.. well i'd give up but wouldn't care. Valentina's music is the most important thing to those of us it touches. She really is amazing and it makes me so happy to see Valentina rise to this moment today.

She did the most brave thing last year, throwing herself into a role, singing the most camp song imaginable about cybersexing and the internet originally written for a 16 year old. Truth is if some young girl sung it, i'd probably hate it. Valentina made the song enjoyable. She did the whole experience with a smile on her face whilst people stood by and judged her, not looking deeper into her. Now is her moment and Ralph bless him, despite the fact I still feel the piece of music she's taking to Eurovision isn't perfect for Valentina, he has given her another chance. He tried his hardest and he has made a beautiful song for Valentina, it's story relates to her so much. Look past the typical ESC feel and production of the studio version and you see an amazing, humble woman with an incredible voice, warmth and character.

The Jazz version will be relased after Eurovision according to Ralph Siegel.

I agree with you and it would be a total "sweep off the feet" for people if she perform jazz version on ESC stage.

I don't think you're going to make it to the end of Eurovision.
