I am Pausini fan, so my remarks must be taken in that light. Of course, originality is not a quality this album can have because its theme is Pausini's version of songs by other artists she claims to adore.

That said, while a few songs are boring, most are wonderful. and I confess I love her voice which is by turns lyrical and smoky and sexy.

Pausini's fans will not be disappointed. Others must like the sentimental style that is Italian pop music, which in the USA was passe by the eighties.

I first bought a Laura Pausini CD ("The Best of Laura Pausini") about a year ago when I was building up my Italian music collection. I wasn't thrilled with that album or Laura though until I purchased her DVD Live 2001-2002 World Tour (A MUST HAVE!). After that I was hooked and now can appreciate her depth as an artist. She is a hard, hard worker, a perfectionist, and very gifted. She has since become one of my favorites. "Io Canto" for me is her best album yet. Every song on the album, though not written by her (which is normally the case) is a keeper and touches the listener on some level. One word of advise about Laura or any other Italian artist: Many record their albums in both Italian and Spanish versions ("Yo Canto" being the Spanish version in this case). I strongly suggest that you ALWAYS get the Italian version. Even though I speak Spanish and don't speak Italian (yet) somehow something gets lost in the translation.

I'm a great fan of Laura Pausini. Every time she comes up with a new release her music and voice is definitely better and better each time. I have bought her album Escucha and I loved every single song in the album, so I went ahead and tried the Italian version Resta in Ascolto and it is so beautiful as well. Now I've got so addicted to Laura's music that I just recently boought her new album Yo canto in both versions. I don't really know how to express how much I enjoy her talent.
Thank you Laura for giving us your beautiful talent in every single song.
Don't ever stop singing because for me you are number 1 in the world.

I adore Italian music and admire La Pausini in particular because I see her grow with every new album. Not quite a fan of her in her early years, I really started to appreciate her after hearing the beautiful" In Assenza di Te". Since then, each album is better than the previous, but I thought she would not be able to do better after "Resta in ascolto". "Io Canto" being a cover album, I consider it a real achievement that it has become such an excellent and personal piece of work. Great duets with Tiziano Ferro and others, beautiful songs like the title track and "Due", in short : a real gem !

First of all: Don't expect a cd with Laura's compositions. Laura selected her favorite songs fromn different artists of all time and recorded their music. it's different from the other Laura's cds but it's as great. I love the versions of Cinque giorni, Non me lo so spiegare and Quando is so sexy and romantic. La mia banda suona il rock is an amazing song. Just buy it, you'll love it. It comes with the lyrics so you can practice your italian. Trust me, if you like Laura you'll love it, so buy it!

I have the spanish version of this CD as well, and I love it!, as I wrote on its Review, if you heard Laura's cds before, you are used to the best, this CD is no exception.
You have high quality music and voice from the beginning to the end.
Thanks Laura for another jewel!.

Laura is just awesome. This CD I think is one of her best ones, and I do own them all. Her voice is just amazing. Even if you don't understand Italian you should get this CD just to listen to Laura's awesome voice.

As below, I to am a Laura Pausini fan, just see my listmania. I listen to Laura only in Italian, not Spanish. If your new to Laura and want her newest songs/albums then this is where to start and go backwards in acquiring her CD's. While this latest CD is not of new material, but of Laura's favorite Italian songs done in the past. She has carefully selected and took her time in assembling this collection to cover & still this CD is amazing and I can highly recommend it. I may skip a song or two on the whole album, but no more than that. Laura's voice can rock it! and yet just as easily sing so soft and beautiful. Brava Laura, Brava!

I own all of Laura's CDs. live and studio). In my opinion. This CD is the best one. I can't explain it. But every song is wonderful. Title track Io Canto is great! and Strada Fachendo is just as great! And all the songs in between are wonderful too!!!!!!!! Buy this CD! you will not be disappointed! And no. Laura Didn't pay me to say this! Brad!

I got this album a long time ago (sometime in 2007-2008), I am still listening to it now in 2010 with immense pleasure. Laura is more courageous in Italian (vs. when she sings in Spanish), I am jumping through hoops to get her original Italian versions of her albums and I am never disappointed (language IS a factor here and it DOES influence her singing subtly, although her Spanish is perfect). To me "Io canto" is Laura's best album so far, I highly recommend it, bravo, Laura!
