Anna Tatangelo - Progetto B.
In the same month Anna Tatangelo participated in Festival di Sanremo her new CD Progetto B was released. Bastardo, the opening song on the CD and even the first single was my personal favorite to be Italy's come back entry to the Eurovision Song Contest. Wether it would have done better than Raphael Gualazzi in the contest is to be doubted. A second position is hard to beat. Still we have this CD and we can enjoy the powerful song full of emotions and get 12 bonus tracks to go with it.
