SANREMO 2011: a lesson in music or ... ?

Finito Sanremo... una riflessione forse scontata , forse giusta, forse ... chissà. But let me start with a simple observation: he won the music.
Immediately after the festival I wrote on Facebook that the end result was " a music lesson."
Now let me explain better: last beautiful voices, texts that had a beginning and an end, music played with real instruments (well there was an orchestra, not a computer).
Then we be free to agree or not but this is reality. Someone
lists the final result as "old stuff ", " stuff of the past", but some time we in Musicland we are forced to use the "Time Machine " to hear something good. The person writes a
which has always been and always ready to "haunt " with current songs (" new stuff" to use the language first): just satisfying the minimum necessary to be called " music."
A little reflection on texts to be returned to "normal" without words or phrases "strong" that we're used to hearing everywhere. Scholars have always argued that in post-crisis economic times like what we are experiencing a first reaction one has to begin to re-appropriating of those who are the true values, the basic ones. Evidently
will happen this time too (?).
For posterity will judge. To you the space for comments which will be useful to do so. Steveb
