Ti lascio una canzone (Leavin' you a song) is an Italian musical variety show that includes a competition between the most beloved songs in the history of Italian pop music.
The songs, which represent the true stars of the show, are “golden oldies”. They are symbolically “left”, in what amounts to a musical heritage, to be interpreted by the singers of tomorrow, in order to ensure that the melodies and lyrics which have provided the background music to past generations are not lost.
The songs are performed by young singing talents, who interpret the best loved songs of Italian pop music during each broadcast.
An especially important role is played by the Italian and international singing guests. They become part of “story” of the evening’s broadcast, enlarging the musical panorama covered by that particular episode. The guests stars perform without taking part in the competition, singing their greatest hits and engaging in duets with the younger singers.
Though the program maintains the key characteristics of an exceptional musical event based on best loved sings of Italian pop music, it sets itself apart from all the other “song-fest” broadcasts that have cluttered the airwaves for some time now. Three main elements allow Leavin' you a song to stand out from all these other offerings: the all-time great songs, the young talents and the duets with the Italian and international stars.
On a stage officially recognised by the general public as the “Temple of Italian Pop Music”, the country’s most beloved pop songs are performed, immediately winning over the home audience, which cannot help but become emotionally involved.
The young singers are selected from among the leading students of today’s most prestigious music schools. The exhibitions of these young performing artists inevitably capture the attention of a vast target group of viewers, ranging from young people (in the same age group as the performers) to their parents, and even an older audience, meaning viewers in the grandparent range. “LEAVIN’ YOU A SONG” serves as a perfect link in the “musical chain” that connects the great sings of yesteryear with the magnificent voices of the performers of tomorrow.
Further enriching the program are anecdotes and little know facts on the songs in the competition, revealed by established singers, composers, actors and celebrities from the world of entertainment, with the additional contribution of commentary and filmed pieces from the period.
The mechanism of the competition
The competition is structured as follows: the home audience votes for their favourite song. The young singers are not competing with each other, but simply performing the songs in the competition. There are no eliminations. The young people who perform the songs are part of the show's regular cast.
A winning song is selected for each week's broadcast. The winning songs from the different weeks go up against each in a grand finale held during the last broadcast. The winning song for the whole series is selected from among these finalists. There is also a Quality Jury that assigns a critics' award to one of the songs competing in each weekly broadcast.
The voting system
There are two voting systems, involving:
The members of the home audience can vote their favourite songs as many times as they want. The song that receives the most votes wins that week’s broadcast and moves on to the final. The critics’ prize, on the other hand, is awarded by the members of the Quality Jury to the song they most admitted, based, first and foremost, on the way in which the young singer interpreted it. Both awards are presented to the performer (or the performers) of the cast who sang the song.
The Quality Jury and the Critics' Award
The jury consists of four guests from the different “worlds” of the arts and the entertainment industry. They can be reporters, singers who began their careers at a very young age, actors (who are also parents) and professionals in the field of music (a composer of songs, a musician, a music critic). Their assigned task is to vote for the best song, based their judgment on the quality of the performance as well. They are also asked to give opinions on the young talents who perform during the evening. The critics’ award is give n to one of the songs during each of the broadcasts.
The format is created by Roberto Cenci (director). Host: Antonella Clerici. Producers/writers are: Paolo Cucco, Giancarlo De Andreis, Fabrizio Berlincioni, Carlo Pistarino, Cecilia Tanturri, Simone De Rosa, Francesco Valitutti, Beppe Bosin. Photograph director: Ivan Pierri.
