"Oh my God, how exciting." These are the few words that Andrea Urru managed to pronounce while watching himself on television, almost in disbelief at being on the small screen. The thirteen-year-old from Oristano, who grew up on bread and songs, is one of the 24 contestants of "Io canto Generation" , the talent show hosted by Gerry Scotti broadcast on Wednesdays in prime time on Canale 5.
Last Wednesday, during the first episode of the singing competition recorded some time ago, Andrea, very elegant in a red jacket, performed bringing one of his warhorses, "We are the Champions" by Queen . And then, subsequently, performing in a duet with Fausto Leali , one of the team leaders of the broadcast, to the tune of “Pregherò” by Adriano Celentano . Always with a smile, like a true professional without fearing the great talents of the history of Italian music, he conquered the entire audience.
Casual, like a real star. «He is very proud of himself - says Andrea's mother, Giovanna Amadori -. Happy to sing on that impressive stage." Andrea, guided in Oristano by his teacher Nino Mereu, has been singing since he was very little. The talent experience instead came thanks to his father Paolo, a musician: it was he, after seeing an online announcement for a casting, who signed up his son. Then the call from Rome and the beginning of the new adventure. " Wednesday - concludes Andrea's mother - everyone glued to the television ."
