Elisa Toffoli, better known only as Elisa (Monfalcone, 19 December 1977), is a singer, composer, musician and record producer. Born in a small town called Monfalcone in Gorizia, Italy,  she is one of the few Italian singer-songwriters to write many of her songs in English, that, of course, without neglecting her devout Italian following.  She was discovered at the age of 19, with the debut album Pipes & Flowers, a full-English album, but fame came thanks to the successful participation in the legendary Sanremo Festival in 2001 with the song Luce – tramonti a nord est ( Light – sunsets in the north east).From that stage the singer has built a solid career whose main hallmark is the quality of the music.Elisa has sold more than 2 million records, mainly in Italy, during her 14-year career.

Between April and June of 2009 Elisa participates in an initiative aimed at the reconstruction of the the city of L’Aquila as a result of the earthquake:on 21 April 2009 she took part in the recording of the single Domani 21/04.09 a project by Jovanotti and Negramaro’s singer, Giuliano Sangiorgi.

This April, the singer will embark on her Elisa Tour 2010 , 14 concerts that will take her to all the major cities in Italy with songs from his most recent album, Heart whose first single Anche se non Trovi le Parole (Even if you can’t find the Words), is already a favorite among radio audiences and among our staff tooand we are including it on this post for your viewing pleasure)! If you are coming to Rome don’t miss the chance to enjoy some of the finest Italian pop with Elisa, the 16 april at the Palalottomatica arena, and don’t miss the chance to have the perfect Roman vacation making a booking at Hotel Des Artistes or Yes Hotel!.

Whitney Houston (at her 46)  plans the conquest of Rome next  4th may 2010. The concert of Whitney is already shaking Roman Foundations with the highest expectations.

Beyond the ‘’good girl’’ image during the 80’s and 90’s. Even beyond her ‘’incorrect’’ profile during the second part of the 90’s and the current decade. This last period included:  being late for interviews, canceling concerts and talk-show appearances, weight loss and rumors about drug abuse, airport security guards discovering marijuana in both Houston’s and Bobby Brown’s luggage at a Hawaiian airport in the year 2000 (anyway she boarded the plane  before authorities could arrive) etc etc …

Does it really matter after all? Her godmother, the Soul Goddess Aretha Franklin would be happy after all this things considering her busting success and skills:  Her debut album Whitney Houston in 1985, became the best-selling debut album by a female artist at the time of release.  Her second studio album Whitney (1987) became the first album by a female artist to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart  Houston appeared in her first starring role in the feature film The Bodyguard in 1992  The film’s original soundtrack won the 1994 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Its lead single, “I Will Always Love You”, became one of the best-selling singles in music history.

Houston is one of the world’s best-selling music artists, having sold over 170 million records, worldwide  She is ranked as the fourth best-selling female artist in the United States  Not bad for a girl born in a poor neighborhood in the projects of Newark, New Jersey. With her amazing career she grasped all the aspects of the American Dream…  After a concert in Milan, the singer will present in the Eternal City her last album called ‘I look to you’ already certified platinum for sales over one million copies in the U.S:
