29/10/09: AFTER THE ENTHUSIASM FOR LILY IT'S JAMES MORRISON'S TURN TO SET ALCATRAZ ON FIRE

Finally... one might say! After twice cancelling his baptism on Italian stages, last night at Milan's Alcatraz LILY ALLEN performed in front of her fans, some 1,500 for the occasion, in an enthralling pop rock riot. Vocally impeccable and physically in great shape, the London pop star put to rest the rumours that she is much more of a gossip show girl than a singer and songwriter. This in spite of herself, since she herself has declared that she wants to give up music soon. It's hard to believe her, considering the growing success that LIly is achieving all over Europe, which was largely legitimised last night: ironic in her stunning cover of Britney Spears' 'Womanize' and inspired in 'naive' by the Kooks, Allen gave plenty of space to songs from her latest album 'it's not me it's not you' such as '22', 'The fear' and the two super hits 'Not fair' and 'Fuck You' that closed the show.
Tonight JAMES MORRISON will take the same stage, after having been in Bologna yesterday, where he demonstrated his indisputable musical talent, which hardly makes him identifiable as a mere pop-star. There is a lot of folk, a lot of soul in the young British artist's songs, which makes his concert all the more impressive. Putting together the ability to write big hits and the quality associated with blues roots is a virtue that only few have. Those who do not want to miss out on one of the best talents of the new generation will be able to see him tonight at theAlcatraztickets still available. The concert opens Ikidney Fornaciari at 20.45
