This is the other album of original material in Italian, from which some songs were pulled to be rerecorded in Spanish for her first Latin American album. I'm sure whomever owns her first Spanish language album will recognize and adore the first five songs on this album. For me, Lui Non Sta Per Te is even better than El No Esta Por Ti, its Spanish counterpart. On the other hand, I like the Spanish version of Ragazze Che (Las Chicas) more than the Italian one. But these are minor points- these songs are great in both languages.

Again, there are some songs here that didn't make the cut when songs were chosen to be rerecorded in Spanish. Of the four, two are great, and the other two are horrible. Un Amico E Cosi is similar in style to Lui Non Sta..., and Amori Strani. I love the lyrics- it is a song about the beauty of a great friendship. The only thing that I sort of dislike is how she tries to be overly emotional in one stanza towards the end. The other great song, Amori Infiniti, gets better with repeated listening. At first, the background sounds a bit too cloying, but I love how the song builts to an emotional end. In this case, the emotional delivery isn't stilted, as is the case with Un Amico E Cosi.

Like another reviewer said, you can't escape some boring songs here. I can't really understand how it is that the two "bad" songs made it on the album to make ten songs, when on her first album there are only eight songs, which was fine. Both Cani E Gatti and Anni Miei sound very dated and childish. I can't stand the "uh, uh" in the beginning of the Cani E Gatti, and Anni Miei sounds like she recorded it in fifth grade. I know this is being harsh, but when you hear what Laura Pausini is capable of singing, you can't justify the inclusion of such substandard material.

The last song is the original Italian version of Carta, which I've always been fond of, though it's not among the best that she recorded during this time.

Dire de nuevo que vale la pena comprar este disco, junto con su primer disco italiano. Sin duda las mejores canciones suyas son de este etapa, y las versiones italianas merecen que las escuches. Ademas, tendras las canciones que no decidieron grabar en espanol, talvez porque son demasiado para un solo disco.

This is one of the best cd from her, this album is a very special one, this cd was translate in spanish, and all is reflected on the way she sings the feelings that she gave when she sings, the way she do it, is the way like if you were listening to your heart, the lirics talk about things that happens to everybody, but not all the people can see, then when you listen to her song, you notice that is true, and then you feel everytime you listen to her ,like if she were teaching you to listen the inside of you, your heart!!

AFTER LESTENING TO LAURA BY LAURA PAUSINI I THINK SHE IS THE BEST FEMALE SINGER IN THE WORLD. SHE SINGS GREAT IN THREE
LANGUAGES. LAURA SINGS GENTE LIKE NO ONE ELSE CAN.
LAURA BY LAURA PAUSINI IS A MUST HAVE FOR EVERYONE.

It's the only album of Laura that you can not avoid the boring songs. Well, borings songs appear in any album of any artist, but not of Laura. But, it worth to buy it only for the first songs, and for the song "Amore Infiniti", that appears only in this album. The Spanish version of this album is also pretty much good, and has only beautiful songs - the bests from the version of this album in Italian, and from another one in Italian. I don't like the style of music that she sings in the lasts songs. It's not her style. But, anyway, Laura is Laura! I do not regret to buy this album and still listen to this with all my heart. I know the songs by heart. I loved this album.

so everybody understands, wtf?, this cd is perhaps one in my 1000's cd's I have heard, well, hear it here now, THE BEST, I own maybe all of her cd's and played it tonight during christmas dinner with the family, they all asked who is she?, this is candy to your ears but then again that saying is too old for this cd, in fact this is an understatement, what do you call it when the right words are not found to describe something?, a few days ago this guy compared laura pausini with celine dion, that is a good joke, laura says when she is singing: "ah, is this the way you want to sing celine", but then again we all have to compare to make a point just to make a point so a very few people get the point but it's well worth it....ah the sweet life, that is what this cd says all over...
