I was wondering if Smeraldo is about Tiziano and his boyfriend that he had for a few years or is it about a one night stand?

[Kworb]

I doubt that one is about anything specific. It's a pretty abstract song anyway, you can make of it what you want.

It should've been a single

[Jonathan Peter]

Is it OK if I try my best to participate in the Tiziano fan pages on Facebook even though I don't speak Italian, I mean liking photos or trying to comment on polls and stuff like that? I have talked to Melina Tuvo before, but she knew English so that was easy enough. There's not a lot of non-Italian people who like these pages, I feel like I'm the only one.

[Kworb]

I just lurk, I'm not patient enough to try and write Italian. English is kinda useless since so many of them don't speak it. But yeah his international fan base doesn't really have a place to go to. The forum on his official site (which has an English subforum) is hidden and dying. And ATRL has been closed for years

[Jonathan Peter]

To me there's never been a video that Tiziano has ever looked awful and is it true that there was a vigil held in the L'olimpiade video for Aliyah?

There's only 2 editions of TZN on Spotify UK the 19 track International edition and the Lo Stadio Edition and all his albums are there on Spotify UK sans TZN - Standard and Deluxe, is it not like that in your Spotify? I hope they bring Alla Mia Età back as there's no reason why they should have pulled it, are all the Spanish editions there?

[Kworb]

To me his worst look is the Indietro/Breathe Gentle video. Never liked anything about that video, which is a shame cause it's probably his biggest production.

This is tragic, the original is missing in so many countries. As for TZN...

TZN Lo Stadio edition is available everywhere except US, Canada, Mexico and France.

TZN Spanish edition is available in Spanish speaking countries, Italy, US and Canada.

TZN International edition is available everywhere except Italy and Switzerland.

TZN Deluxe edition is available in Italy, Switzerland and France.

I mean, I guess there is some logic in there, but I dunno.

[Jonathan Peter]

In terms of countries with very little of Tiziano's music, I have to give it to the US and Canada, 111 Centoundici isn't available on US iTunes, only 111 Ciento Once is, most of his Italian albums are there though, not there being three versions of Alla mia età, was the original Italian version of Alla mia età not sent to music services like Spotify, iTunes, Google Play etc. in most of the EU countries, US/Canada and Latin American countries?

I don't understand how Tiziano's releases are so scattered and messy, why is this?

[tznenglish7]

I cannot get any of his music either digital or physical format in the US, even in big cities like NYC. I had to create an Italian iTunes account to get his music, I stock up on Italian iTunes gift cards whenever I go haha. I can't even watch his music videos in America they're all blocked, I have to to wait for someone (mostly Kworb thanks!) to show Vimeo links where it's not blocked

I feel so sorry for you, have you got any of his CDs, eBay's a good place, I got all of his albums (used) but they're in perfect condition, I got the Deluxe and Fan Edition of TZN, Alla mia età (Special Edition Live in Rome 2009) and 111 Centoundici on Amazon.it, have you tried there? The only one I got off Amazon UK was the Lo stadio Edition of TZN and I got the MP3 editions from HMV and Amazon Music.

I really think that the US and Canada should start selling Tiziano's music as it's not fair on those who cannot get any of his music when most of the EU countries have all of his albums and compliations.

[Kworb]

It's bizarre because a lot of Italian videos start off blocked in North America, but then later the restrictions are lifted. I dunno why they can't do that for Tiziano. So stupid and frustrating.

[Jonathan Peter]

It is maybe because they can't get the rights to broadcast Tiziano's videos in the US and that's why they're blocked, this is so stupid.

[Jonathan Peter]

What do you think of the cover for the new edition of Trent'anni e una chiacchierata con papà? There's 392 pages instead of 224 pages, I'm thinking of ordering it.

I quite like it.

[Kworb]

I'm too used to the old one, any change is bad to me.

It was always 392 pages though, they didn't add anything.

[Jonathan Peter]

Oh, didn't know that, why are they releasing a new edition though, seems quite stupid.

[tznenglish7]

They sell his Spanish albums digitally here in America but no Italian ones. I've ordered his albums from eBay and the DVD tour from Amazon UK. Everything else is from my Italian iTunes account. I had no idea who he was until I heard universal prayer during the olympics when I was in high school and liked his voice, I had no idea he was Italian. I looked up his music after that (back when limewire was around) and discovered sere nere and its history from there. I was lucky I spoke Italian but even if I didn't his music sounds amazing in Italian. I prefer it to English any day

Happy Birthday, Kworb

Thanks!!
