Editorial Reviews

Her physical beauty is stunning and her voice is the champion of two San Remo Festivals. She has recorded duets with the likes of Ray Charles, Sugar (Zucchero), Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, Lionel Ritchie and Michael McDonald and more. Her best tracks are all assembled on this stellar CD. Included are both the original version of "E Poi" and a previously unreleased verson as well as the previously unreleased "Marzo" (March). This is Italy's fastest selling release of 2002.

4.0 out of 5 stars Italy's finest, February 16, 2003

This review is from: Giorgia - Greatest Hits: Le Cose Non Vanno Mai Come Credi (Audio CD)

Most of the foreign audiences relate Italian Female Pop to reigning diva Laura Pausini.
Giorgia, on the other side, is considered in Italy at the same level...maybe less easy in terms of pop access, but definitely more soulful and masterful when it comes to vocal matters.
So far she has not enjoyed a planetary success as Laura's although they started out roughly at the same time, but she is on the right way.
This collection pulls together most of her hits.
E POI is Giorgia's signature song along with a string of other friendly-radio hits, from the country-tinged sound of GIRASOLE and TRADIREFARE to the soul-influenced E C'E' ANCORA MARE.
Ballads are Giorgia's forte: DIMMI DOVE SEI, STRANO IL MIO DESTINO e DI SOLE E D'AZZURRO will blow you away.
There are some notable missing tunes, the splendid duet with Andrea Bocelli (which fortunately found a home on the guy's own greatest hits package...so maybe some of you may have already had the privilege to hear her voice), the moving 1995 ballad RIGUARDA NOI and the bouncy, summertime 1997 anthem IN VACANZA CON ME. And many more...
For the rest, you will encounter a velvety voice that many times has been compared to Whitney Houston's by most critics.
Apparently, if not by foreign audiences, Giorgia is loved by people in the industry abroad.
She duetted with Bryan Adams, Boyzone's former vocalist Ronan Keating (great duet on WE'VE GOT TONITE remake), featured in live appearances (can't get out of my head her rendition along with Michael MacDonald of ON MY OWN when he supported Cher's 1999 BELIEVE tour here in Milan).
Diane Warren wrote the music to Giorgia's lyrics on PARLAMI D'AMORE, and living legend Herbie Hancock played piano on such a dark track as IL MARE SCONOSCIUTO.
Two new tracks highlight this package: VIVI DAVVERO is a R'n'B tune that brings out the Aretha Franklin fan deep in Giorgia.
MARZO is one of the most emotional tune i ever heard, dedicated to the former boyfriend recently lost to a motorbike accident.
It is grand, sampling Eurythmics' lines from THE MIRACLE OF LOVE, yet living a life of its own.
Giorgia really deserves to break through all over the world, she's got the looks and the vocals skills needed.
She only needs a BIG production to make it...mr. David Foster and Walter Afanasieff, are you reading this???
Start on the right track and get a taste of this!

5.0 out of 5 stars The "next" Mina, July 29, 2002

Giorgia, crowned the next Mina in Italy has wonderful range and her choice of music has been impeccable. Her greatest hits is a mish-mash from her prior successful CDs...including most of her best work. There are ommissions...like her version of Mina's "Il cielo in una stanza"...and a few others, but overall this is one bang up CD. The 3 new tracks are a nice addition, especially "Marzo' which I understand is a dedication to her late singer/boy friend killed in a motorcycle crash in March 2002. This CD is a "must" for fans of contemporary Italian music.

I'm a huge fan of Laura Pausini, another great italian singer. I had heard about Giorgia and decided to buy her greatest hits CD. I loved it!!! it's one of my favorite records now. Her songs are so profound and so beautiful, you just want to hear them all over again, as an aspiring singer I can say that Giorgia truly has what really makes a great not just singer but artist in every way, give this girl a chance, she has what it takes! it's also an ecellent way of learning some italian, I did! All i can say is that you have to get it!!!
