You sure know how to ask a difficult question!! How do you choose a favourite song from an album where every song is fabulous?! I have never bought an album before where I have liked
every song. There are always one or two songs that you dislike, but I can honestly say I love every song on Patrizio's new album, so I am finding it very difficult to choose! Therefore, I am going to tell
you which song makes me feel the most and why. It is 'Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?' I saw Patrizio perform it at Carnival City in Johannesburg last year. He sang it as though he meant
every word. As though he had put a lot of thought into the meaning of the words and how he would get the message in the words across to his audience. l could feel his passion as he sang the song.
This is not a new song and I have heard it sung many times before, but for the first time found myself actually thinking about the words and what they actually mean. Then after I watched a whole bunch
of TV interviews where Patrizio explained how he wants to bring romance back into the world through his songs, I could see that what he was trying to portray in the words of the song is something very
real and genuine for him. It made me sad and a little envious!! Sad, because there is so little romance left in the world today and I realised that we woman actually miss it, even if we think we don't. Men
have forgotten the importance of really making a woman feel special and wanted. And, envious because there is a very lucky lady somewhere who will have `'it all' when Patrizio falls in love!!! And, as he
says, it's all about the little things. A kiss on the hand or the cheek, a rose etc.etc. These little touches are what make Patrizio special. What set him aside from all other performers. His ability to
make his audience feel and in so doing make each person feel as though they are special.
I don't believe that any one of us can claim to be his number one fan. So, why then in my heart do I still believe I am? For many reasons. Because I think that if I had the opportunity to sit down and chat
to him, he would realise that my respect and admiration for him are genuine and not based on the superficial hype that is always evident around an entertainer. Because he would appreciate my belief
that he is a genuinely grounded, normal person who has been brought up with straightforward good values. Because, I would let him know how much I admire the fact that he has no qualms about just
being himself. No reason to act or be like anyone else and is proud of who he is and what he has achieved without being pushy or a show-off. Because although I think he is very good looking and sexy,
I hold his open, honest nature and ability to make everyone he comes into contact with feel special, in far higher esteem. Because I have a musical background and I appreciate and realise just what a
brilliant talent he is on a more professional level. Not just his voice, but his talent on musical instruments as well. Because, I treasure his innate ability to bring so much joy to so many people and the
fact that he enjoys doing so, by just doing what he loves doing best. Because I would let him know how much he touched my heart and made me cry when he said in one of his interviews that hearing
his mother's voice is the best sound to him and how he made me feel when he got so emotional while singing to little Blake in Perth. Because, I can listen to his songs over and over and over again
and never get tired of hearing his voice. Because, sometimes at a certain moment hearing one of his voice can fill me with emotion and bring tears to my eyes!!!

My favourite song on Patrizio’s new album– Patrizio is ‘You’re My Everything,’. It’s my favourite song because it beautifully describes the real essence of love, whether romantic or caring for someone one loves. The music, guitar is beautiful. The tempo of the song is just a hypnotic soothing melody. The words describe beautifully the meaning and the feeling of true love. To value and treasure another human being. The real essence of what life here on earth should be, you’re my everything and nothing really matters but the love you bring, you’re my everything to see you in the morning with those big brown eyes, the words just encapsulate the essence of caring and loving a partner. Every time I here this song it takes my breath away, my heart and mind travel to a place where love is considered a magical treasure. To respect and cherish the person you love. Nothing is as important as the love another brings to another. To have the one you love close to you, you never have to worry never fear for I am near. Isn’t that what most of us would love to hear and feel from the one who says they love us? What a different world our world would be if the values described in the lyrics of this song were demonstrated amongst humanity. We would experience a different world and a different kind of love, love based on real caring. Love and caring are not just words, but the action behind those words.
I would describe myself as Patrizio’s number one fan because his music has brought joy and healing into my life. It has brought hope. It is very refreshing to see a respectful, young, attractive male being a wonderful role model to fans, people and especially men around the world. These qualities make me grateful that there is a good role model like Patrizio on our planet at this time. And this is why I feel I am a huge fan of his music and style.
Thank you for reading this. I am sorry for my late entry. Whether I win or not, it doesn’t matter, but what matters is I expressed myself and shared my thoughts and my heart. And I guess for doing that, I have won, I have won the gift of sharing. I really like Patrizio’s music and style. It is refreshing, classy, romantic, respectful and caring. Such a rarity in today’s world of celebrities. It was a pleasure to have had my photo taken with you, but unfortunately I didn’t have the opportunity to speak with you, something I regret, may be another time. Wishing you the best.
