First presenter, then pop star and dancer protagonist of an explosive medley, then, at a quarter past one in the morning, he arrived the monologue for Elodie: an escalation for the co-host of the second evening of the Sanremo 2021 Festival which she touched very personal themes and retraced his artistic growth. “Every time I have managed to tear down a wall, very beautiful things have happened in my life and so I decided to tell you something about myself – began the singer, 30 years old, recalling childhood in the Quartieraccio of Rome -. My neighborhood has given me a lot and took away a lot from me and I’m not just talking about material deprivation, like not having hot water or not being able to make ends meet, but I also speak of the desire to dream ».

“I didn’t feel up to it”
Growing up with the dream of a career in show business since she was a child, Elodie confessed that she was there to give up: “I didn’t feel up to it, many times I have not given myself a chance. I didn’t finish high school, I didn’t get my driver’s license, I didn’t study singing. I was wrong, I know“. The turning point came thanks to those who believed in her: «At twenty I had decided that the music was over, I had decided not to do anything anymore. But I was very lucky. I met a jazz pianist, his name is Mauro Tre and tonight he is with me on stage ». In introducing it, emotion took over: «Thank you because you gave me a chance where I did not – she said between tears -. We all deserve a chance and you made me love jazz. I was the first to have a prejudice about myself. What Mauro taught me is that nYou don’t always have to feel up to things, the important thing is to have the courage to do them and then adjust in the race. I’m probably not up to this stage, but living up to it is no longer my problem, because being up to it is a point of view », he concluded, before singing a song by Mina with his first band.
