My selection, n. 4
Tori Amos - Northern Lad Tori Amos, I am in love with Tori Amos. Listen to that voice, sensual ... it is not enough to say sensual, it is a voice that smells of sex in every syllable, but not vulgar sex: passionate, orgasmic sex, it seems in fact that Tori Amos sings in the throes of a slow, sweetly, savored orgasm. She drives me crazy. Edited by jamesbaldwin - May 26 2021 at 12:30 |

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

My selection, n. 3
Ginevra di Marco - Vedrai Vedrai, song written by Luigi Tenco (again!) in I love this song! Love, love, love... I love the vocals. Ginevra is wonderful... She gives me chills. This is a sad song... sad and desperate... but in the end there is the hope: You will see: it will change Vedrai, Vedrai... You'll See, You'll See When I go home in the evening
I don't even want to talk.
Don't look at me with that tenderness
as if I were a child who returns disappointed.
Yes, I know that this is certainly not life
that I dreamed of one day for us.
You'll see you'll see,
you will see that it will change,
maybe it won't be tomorrow,
but one day it will change.
You'll see you'll see
I'm not finished, you know,
I can't tell you how and when
but you will see that it will change.
I'd rather know you cry
that you reproach me for having disappointed you
and I don't always see yourself so sweet
accept everything that comes from me
It makes me desperate to think of you
and think of me that I don't know how to give you more.
You'll see you'll see,
you will see that it will change,
maybe it won't be tomorrow,
but one day it will change.
You'll see you'll see
I'm not finished, you know,
I can't tell you how and when
but one day it will change Edited by jamesbaldwin - May 26 2021 at 12:36 |

My selection, N. 2
Ginevra di Marco: Ederlezi I love this song, I love Di Marco's voice, she is a wonderful singer. Ederlezi is a traditional folk song in the Romani language of the Rom (Sinti) people of the Balkans, mainly in Serbia.
The title refers to the Serbian holiday of Đurđevdan (Ђурђевдан), called Ederlezi in the Romani language, which falls on May 6 and celebrates spring.
The song Ederlezi has become famous because it is the soundtrack to a beautiful scene of a film by Emir Kusturica, Times of the Gypsies Lyrics: Same amala oro kelena Oro kelena dive kerena Sa o Roma (Amaro dive Amaro dive, Ederlezi Ej... ah...) Sa o Roma, babo, babo Sa o Roma, o daje Sa o Roma, babo, babo Ej, Ederlezi Sa o Roma, daje Sa o Roma babo, E bakren cinen. A me coro, dural besava. A a daje, amaro dive. Amaro dive erdelezi. Ediwado babo, amenge bakro. Sa o Roma, babo. E bakren cinen. Eeee... j, Sa o Roma, babo babo, Sa o Roma daje. Sa o Roma, babo babo, Erdelezi. Erdelezi, Sa o Roma Daje. Eeee... Sa o Roma, babo babo, Sa o Roma daje. Sa o Roma, babo babo, Eeee... Erdelezi, Erdelezi. Sa o Roma daje Here's to you the piece of the film by Kusturica (music arranged by Goran Bregovic) Translation_ Spring lands on my shoulder, thrush verdant, for everyone but me. The streets are gone, I stayed, there is no star of Venus, my fellow-roader. Who now, my dear, smells of thrush, I never again. here dawn, to God I bow, here is the dawn is Djurdjevdan (Ederlezi) and I I'm not with the one I love, that his name be remembered every two days except in Djurdjevdan.

My selection. N. 1 Tiziana Ghiglioni is a jazz singer who collaborates with very refined musicians. She has released an album in which she sings songs by Luigi Tenco, a singer-songwriter of the Italian melodic school who committed suicide in 1967. Tenco was characterized by compositions with often sad and cynical lyrics, but tinged with irony, for example in a song, I fell in love with you, he sang as the second verse: Because I had nothing to do. Very strange for the Sixities! Tenco also, despite being a traditional singer, often sang his songs without following the tempo, in a jazz style. In this song, Tiziana Ghiglioni repeats the refrain with always different emotional nuances, which express the feeling of the song. Se stasera sono qui - If I'm here tonight If I'm here tonight
It's because I love you
It's because you need me, even if you don't know it
If I'm here tonight
It is because I know how to forgive
And I don't want to throw away my love for you
For me to come here
It was like climbing the highest mountain in the world
And now that I'm here
I want to forget the saddest memories down there
If I'm here tonight
It's because I love you
It's because you need me, even if you don't know it
If I'm here tonight
It's because I love you
It's because you need me, even if you don't know it
(If I'm here tonight) Edited by jamesbaldwin - May 26 2021 at 12:05 |

Logan - You've got some very interesting choices here... Catherine Ribeiro - Nice 60's psych flair. This is one that will grow on me so I need more time with it. Edda dell'Orso - You keep pulling out great Morricone music that I'm not familiar with and I love it. A definite contender even if the vocals are wordless, they are still amazing. So is the music, of course. Swans (w/ Jarboe) - Another artist that I am too familiar with, but talk about a lovely, haunting track. I would vote for it if I wasn't already so familiar with Swans music. Nico - Again, I would need more time with this one too. Intriguing with some very unique vocals. It definitely draws my interest. For my possible vote, at least presently, it would have to be Edda dell'Orso, but that could also change with time (if I end up having any, like today, that is). ........................................ I am going to try to get to some other entries hopefully this time, but I was lucky today and found the time to do some listening. I will try to get to some others later.  |

Curved Air is one of those bands that I'm wishing I was more familiar with. "Lovechild" is a great song, but it doesn't quite hit that spot for me as for as setting of any emotional reaction. Illusion is a band with ties to the band Renaissance. Jane Relf is one of the lead vocalists, but on the song "Madonna Blue", she is more of a background singer, so I'm not sure if this one would qualify in this specific poll. However, it is a song that I really like nevertheless. I wish the focus was on Relf and not on Jim McCarthy.

Oh, those damned Europeans don't want to share her... My video is her live performance of last Saturday's ESC finals - and a really great performance it was, including her giggle at the end. If you can find a working video of one of her Eurovision performances that would be nice (they're all quite similar, and should be just under 3 mins. for the perfomance itself)... Is this one working?

The Anders - Katinka - "Idioter" I can understand the meaning this one has for you. It's some excellent vocals, almost reminds me of Bjork. Nice, minimal background most of the way through which is what this song needs to build the tension and direct the attention to the lyrics. Great selection!
Chopper - Kate Bush is the best of the best and I'm already a devoted fan so her songs are all familiar to me, and since I love her music so much, it gives an unfair advantage to the other entries, so I can't vote on her music. I Prophesy Disaster - Again, I'm too familiar with Helium Horse Fly and have been delving into their music ever since I put their 2020 album "Hollowed" down as one of my favorites for that year. However, I was hoping someone would post their music here as it is awesome. Great selection, but it is disqualified for my vote because of my familiarity of the music. |

Lorenzo, you have some real beauties in this poll. Tiziana Ghiglioni is covering Luigi Tenco here. Absolutely stunning and beautiful with sultry jazz, the best kind. This one would be a contender for me. Ginevra di Marco - the first selection is a nice combination of styles, I detect mid-Eastern and Romanian styles maybe. Very nice, but not as captivating as the prior one. However, the 2nd selection by her is absolutely gorgeous. Ahhh- it's much better with that haunting and romantic Italian sound. I love it! Very heartfelt cover of Luigi Tenco again. Finally, Tori Amos - I love Tori, but I am already too familiar with her music, so I can't vote on it, but it is an excellent choice. So, in summary, for my vote, it's either Tiziana Ghiglioni "Se stasera sono qui" or Ginevra di Marco "Vedrai, Vedrai". I love both of them.

There have been some posters who've encountered trouble posting YT's because of browser issues lately, I thought you might be one of those....also some countries have restrictions. Not truly compulsory, some people have done other sites, but generally the YTs are viewable by most. A lot of the participants try to provide exposure for lesser-known artists in these polls and typically, one of the rules is that they are not to be prog artists (also a reason these polls aren't up in the Prog Polls section, where, yes, one would expect most people would know the artists) . I actually don't vote "for," artists or works that I know already, in these polls, although that is just a personal prerogative. That all being said, glad you weren't experiencing undue difficulty.

I know how to post videos, thanks, I wasn't aware it was compulsory in these sort of polls.  I kind of assumed most people would be familiar with these songs anyway.

My gosh this one is off to a fast start.
So, here are a few. This first one is the song and live performance that drew my interest in this band. I came across it on YouTube before they were in PA. Bent Knee - Being Human This next artist I have nominated before if she seems familiar. Angelica Garcia - Loretta Lynn And last one is a sentimental favorite. Cover of the Disney song from Dumbo. Bonnie Raitt and Was (Not Was) - Baby Mine Edited by mathman0806 - May 25 2021 at 19:28 |

Chopper, you can do both if you like. Do you have trouble uploading a video here? If so, I can do that for you....that is how we generally bring the selections to the polls.

This one is too well known in prog circles and out of competition, but I'm not sure anything else moves me as much as this (this specific live version, I mean). |

Rainbirds were a big pop rock success in Germany in the end eighties but their boss and singer Katharina Franck was up to somewhat darker and more sophisticated stuff, so she fired her band and replaced them by congenial female keyboarder and electronic arranger Ulrike Haage and came up with this. The album couldn't chart anymore. But actually this is where things got most interesting for me (Two Faces - actually this is still very accessible to my ears; the art pop label fits it pretty well): Edited by Lewian - May 25 2021 at 15:19 |
