With a phrase spoken at the right time and in the right way, Valerio Scanu delivered a strong blow to the category of colleagues who do not shine for their singing abilities. The singer clearly expressed his thoughts on the matter during today’s episode of La Volta Buona, Wednesday, September 25, as a guest of Caterina Balivo, who did not hide her embarrassment at the unexpected judgment in response to her question. Scanu’s blunt remark came while the host was asking him about Luigi, a university professor whom he married last year and who has nothing to do with the music world. “He’s also quite tone-deaf,” Scanu added at that point, pressed by Balivo, who defended the “category.”
Valerio Scanu and the jab at tone-deaf singers
“Not everyone has to sing like you, it’s also okay to be tone-deaf, you know. I defend the category of the tone-deaf!” exclaimed the host, offering her guest a perfect setup for his statement: “Most of whom today are singing. Especially since with this autotune, everyone can sing a little…”. This spontaneous remark took the audience by surprise, who burst into applause, and the host herself remained silent with an expression that greatly emphasized the moment. No explicit reference was made to “tone-deaf” singers, but those who wanted to understand certainly did, in light of the comments left alongside the video posted on Instagram: “You spoke the naked and raw truth,” “Valerio never disappoints, he always says things as they are, well done,” wrote users who followed the interview on social media.
