he compensates it with great enthusiasm, a sweet and joyful voice, and
perfect diction which helps us to follow him while we are listening.
Of course, there are songs which belong to Fabio, but in the same
way, there are others Giacomo takes on his own, even if his style is less
theatrical, he gives his heart.
Now, the band will start touring, trying to recover the time they lost when
the changes began, but I also think is the right moment to start working
on new material so Giacomo can show us his personality through songs
created for him. In my opinion, this is the most important thing.
It’s true, the work for Alex Staropoli and the band is huge. They’ve made
their first step and even if it wasn’t well received by some fans, it’s signal
they walk backwards to search strength and fly.
To sum up, I’m not trying to convince anybody to support one or another
singer (that’s been the main problem), I can’t deny Fabio is a legend and
it’s hard to take his place, but in some way, Giacomo has the youth and
strength to take this chance and write a new chapter with his particular
label in Rhapsody of Fire’s history. This kind of responsibility is hard to take,
and not everybody takes the risk.
