There are pure talents that it is not necessary to listen two or three times to understand them. There are special voices that from the first listen, from the first note, capture and excite. And it’s not a question of age, study or preparation. The talent, the magic, the X Factor, either you have it or you don’t.
Elisa coclite, originally from Montorio al Vomano, in art “Casadilego“, A young girl of just 17 years old, a green-haired elf who looks like something out of a fairy tale, took the judges and the audience home for a moment, during the first episode of X Factor 2020, in another dimension.
The attack of A Cause of you, amazing folk song by one of the greatest songwriters ever, Joni Mitchell to make you shiver and make the hair stand on end. The first notes, his warm and magnetic voice (“You hugged us all”, says Mika) were enough to transport us to a distant world, in a dimension of peace and beauty. (Here the video of the exhibition)
The judges underlined this, with theirs standing ovation, the “tough” Manuel Agnelli said it explicitly, in tears as he was rarely seen at X Factor. This is pure talent. This is the magic of music. See you again in the final, Elisa!
