Canto Della Terra/Sogno Reviews:
The movie
2003-10-10 - To a music fan from Seaford DE: The movie was The Quest for Camelot with orginal songs by Carole Bayer Sager and David Foster ( I believe husband and wife). Thus the connection with Bocelli, Dion, and Grobin. David is their agent or producer.

Canto Della Terra/Prayer
2002-09-07 - I LOVED IT, but the first time I ever heard The Prayer was in an animated children's movie. I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out the name of the movie? It was about a young girl who's father died and she took up knight's armor to defend what was hers. She meets a blind knight in the forest and they sing
The Prayer...

So, this thing is STILL in print, huh?
2001-07-19 - ATTENTION: Canto Della Terra and The Prayer already appear on Andrea's SOGNO CD. The instrumental version of CDT also appears on the 4-track maxi CD single under the title Canto Della Terra (cat. no. 563 459-2). Only really recommended for die-hard Andrea Bocelli fans. It's all recycled material, anyway.

Well, here I go again! (extended version)
2001-03-18 - Pt. I: ORIGINAL EDITED REVIEW

OMG......WHAT'S UP, Y'ALL? Mauro baby, you really worked up a sweat there, huh, pal? Yo, Insieme, what's going on here? Over ten albums by my hero, Andrea Bocelli, and no dance remixes? Never mind. This is one of the only Bocelli singles in print at the moment. I'll agree with what Sandra said about "The Prayer": that s**t brings me to uncontrollable tears. I don't care for Céline anymore, but she does SO damn well on that song (as does my Bocelli baby) that she actually makes me cry. So does he.

I have this version of "Canto Della Terra" as well as the 4-track release, the Extended Version of "Canto" on the latter of which is the best of them all. But that's about the furthest Andrea's gone. If you take a look into his song list, you'll see that he hasn't done a single remix of ANY of his songs except for "Prayer". But then, that's because he doesn't want to be greedy and all that music that hurts the operatic voice. I see Sarah Brightman having done some "fairytales dub" of her and Bocelli's "Time To Say Goodbye," without Andrea. Oops....what am I talking about? It's not the artist who does the remix, but somebody who's gotten permission from the artist to add some dance beat to it and sample bits of the song. Yet remixes often seem to be less brilliant than the original versions and thus make you want to go crazy. Maybe THAT'S why Bocelli doesn't want to do dance remixes. Good move, though. If I ever heard a remix of Canto, I wouldn't appreciate it the way I do the knockout way it already is!

Pt. II: ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

That's what I said in the original review. "Canto Della Terra" (and I haven't mentioned it before) is the only "power ballad" I can safely listen to with no problem, as it was one of the least exposed songs of 1999. Definitely the best Bocelli song I've heard so far. Even "Con Te Partirò" never lived up to the power of this one. My tears come out of obsession with Andrea, and listening to this selection or any other Bocelli song that actually moves you justifies that fact. The sad thing is, Andrea keeps screaming for the freedom which it seems he won't obtain. I'm bursting into tears wishing he'd get better than what he's getting. I feel sorry for him, more than ever. Nobody except the fans who love him cares about him anymore! Whereas people like Sisqo, Santana, Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync, you know who I mean; all those people's music gets overplayed seriously and Bocelli's just a memory. But you have to give those guys credit because they sold so many CDs with little effort at all. Maybe when Andrea gets his next pop CD on the move, he'll win some more publicity, if not much. He needs more attention in North America.

That's all, folks!

Well, here I go again!

If you say Céline can't sing, eat your words. She does SO damn well on that song (as does my Bocelli baby) that she actually makes me cry. So does he.

Right now, the only release of this single I have is the out-of-print 4-track CD single release, you know, the one with just CDT x 3 and "Un Canto"? On the version I own, the Extended Version of Canto is the best of them all. But that's aboutthe furthest Andrea's gone. If you take a look into his song list, you'll see that he hasn't done a single remix of ANY of his songs.
