“I have nothing personal with the Jalisse, as I have nothing personal with others 320 that are not part of this Sanremo, nothing personal. I’m always sorry because I listen to all the songs and listen to them several times, but after all the songs must be 22.
I’m sorry for anyone who won’t be a part of this Festival, but there are many who are not part of it and have not done so for many years. Maybe in the future there will be an opportunity, I wish them a good job: the most important thing is to work and not complain, which does not give credit to the story of a singer.
They taught me, I did a lot of sport as a boy, to work hard and not to think about conspiracies: work and things can improve. Complaining is useless. “
