(ANSA) – ROME, OCTOBER 30 – The music has changed starting from the prize money which for this new edition will be 100 thousand euros for the winner, not a little in these times, “we want to shout it to the four winds. Our four judges they are special: Francesco Renga, Anna Tatangelo, Rita Pavone and J-Ax. A jury of great artists who make themselves available to sing pieces by other colleagues “. Word of Michelle Hunziker, presenter of All Together Now – the fourth edition of the musical game-show, produced by Endemol Shine Italy, broadcast from tomorrow on Canale 5 in prime time – and of the 4 judges of the program. Answering ANSA’s questions, Michelle announces: “I too will perform during the episodes, I will sing with our judges, because it is a great party, we will also draw from the international repertoire of great music”. The performances of the competitors who will go up on the stage of “All Together Now” will be evaluated by the four jurors and by the Human Wall, made up of 100 characters including singers, experts in the world of music and well-known faces of the show. “The juries will comment with open microphones and without brakes on the presentation, the look, the sympathy and, of course, the singing performance of the aspiring singers. Only those who manage to excite both the jury and the Wall have the opportunity to continue their journey” . The winner will be able to record a cover that will be broadcast by the radio partner, R101. “Then there will be – adds Michelle – new faces in the Wall such as Annalisa Minetti, a very tough woman who knows what it means to fight in life”. And again, laughing: “The judges who will perform with me say they have fun, I don’t know if they do it just because they don’t want to offend me … With Anna Tatangelo we did several funny numbers including salsa and merengue, Gloria Estefan … we indulge ourselves ! “. How would you describe your travel companions? “Scafati, they know the mechanism of the game and are aware of the fact that it is a musical game show. This means that All Together Now should not be seen as a talent but as if it were a Gerry Scotti quiz where, however, 100,000 euros are won, and where you can show your musical talent. And they have understood that we must absolutely remove our competitors from the comfort zone, put them in difficulty “What is your favorite song of all? “I live with music and every period of my life has a soundtrack. So there is not an absolute piece, I have experienced great emotions related to music”. In this year and a half of pandemic, many things have changed, even the music? “The pandemic has profoundly changed the lives of many, we all know it. Not only of the artists but also of all the entertainment workers, who have suffered a lot – replies Michelle – It was a category never really considered: not touring and live in all this period it has not been easy for anyone. There is a great desire to go back to concerts, to go back to meet and stay out “. J-Ax in the first two editions you were among the 100 jurors of the Wall “. What relationship do you have with them?” Obviously I can’t know all 100 but let’s say with many they are on excellent terms, especially with some who are my friends like Pedax, Space One, Chile. But I also have a lot of respect for real vocal coaches that are there. Above all Genise “. On the Pandemic J-Ax points out:” obviously music has always been the news. Right now I think pop music emphasizes that people don’t want to hear about problems. When you try to mention what has happened to us, people shut their ears a little, perhaps because they are full of them. “Francesco Renga among the 4, are you the judge more…?” Badder “, he replies, laughing. As for the score and the evaluation of the performances, “I always try to have the clarity to evaluate the emotion – explains Renga – more than the enthusiasm that the performance can transmit. The Wall (expressing the vote of 100 different personalities) often gets carried away and sometimes influences each other “. For him” this year and a half has not changed so much music, as much as the lives of each of us … and music tells life “. Rita Pavone with irony defines herself” the over judge, with more years of career behind him – 60 next year – and then I am also the one who takes care of everything, not only the vocality but also the being on the stage, filling the stage, very important aspects, today more than ever. “Strong in your career, what advice would you give to the competitors of the program to be successful in the world of music?” To remain humble and work hard “. Anna Tanatngelo yes finally defines, among the 4, the judge the “technician”. “I always try to analyze the competitor’s performance and I focus especially on the interpretative part”, he emphasizes. If you were to perform in front of the Wall, which song would you choose? ” suburbs “, he replies. (HANDLE).
