“There was that other one who sang a Battisti song, which is called Bravi, all female”.
Vittorio Sgarbi, host of Serena Autieri in the Rai program "Dedicato", launches into attacks against Michele Bravi and his interpretation in Sanremo of "I would like ... I would not like ... but if you want": "He sang addressing a woman as if she were a male. The song is made by Battisti for a woman and he was a man and he declined it in the masculine ".
He also had some for the winners Blanco and Mahmood: "I don't understand why two who go to sing have to kiss, then pretend, they have to hug, touch."
The singer's reply was not long in coming: "Medieval judgments".
"I do not like to give space or voice to people who ignore the beauty of individual freedom of expression, nor to demonize an embarrassed laugh due to the unexpected of a live - wrote Bravi on Twitter referring to the reaction of the presenter -. I will not name names and I invite you not to go digging, but I take the cue, since yesterday you have been sending me a video of a broadcast accusing my excessive femininity, to say that I am proud to give voice to a non-judgmental approach of individuality. I will never stop saying with my music 'be completely yourself'. This is not a fight that concerns the LGBTQI + community but it has to do with the possibility for everyone to tell the world about their colors. It is a sign of civility to respect and accept opinions other than your own, but it is a shame to let medieval judgments limit your creativity. Always be creative ”.
