I was lucky enough to meet Our Guys twice face-to-face – Piero 3 times (Oh yeah, I’m braggin’). I, to this day, have no idea what I said. I only remember bits and pieces. I pray that whatever I said was somewhat coherant and they don’t remember me as “Oh yeah, HER”. When Michele ran into Barbara Vitali, Mrs. Boschetto and Mrs. Ginoble in a hotel elevator she didn’t say a word!
So let me help you prepare for your once-in-a-lifetime conversation with the Boys of Il Volo. Oh, you will thank me later!
Complete these sentences: (Choose a few or if you really want to be prepared answer them all.)
1) When I meet Piero on the street I will tell him…
(after, “thank you for catching me when I fainted!”)
2) When I share an elevator with Gianluca’s mom I’ll quickly say…
(Please don’t say, “What floor?”)
3) You’re given the opportunity to live in Italy. (Oh Joy!)
I would because….
or
I couldn’t because…
4) When I have The Guys over for dinner I will cook…
(Spaghetti is a cop-out, so is Chicken Marsala.)
5) I took Gianluca to my favorite place in the world. We went to…
(Careful, we will censor. Probably not me or Linda, but someone will!)
6) If I had to explain “Pop Opera” to someone, I would say…
(“You should already know!” is not a nice answer.)
7) I would Like to introduce Ignazio to… Because…
(“Marie, because she loves his dimples” is acceptable!)
8) The one song I would really like to see on their next album is…
(We’ll also discuss this one again, in the future)
9) If I could ask Barb Vitali one question it would be…
(This one’s for you Laia.)
10) ? (I always leave a spot for yours.)
Now, when you meet them you will know exactly what to say. I know you will remember this when you are standing eyeball to eyeball with Gianluca. Right?
