There are fifteen dancers (8) and singers (7) in pole position for the evening of the twenty-second edition of “Amici di Maria De Filippi”. Revolution in the jury with the new entries Michele Bravi, Cristiano Malgioglio and Giuseppe Giofrè
“I start working again because that’s what they taught me”. These were the first words of Maria DeFilippi at the opening of the last appointment with the Sunday afternoon of “Friends of Maria De Filippi”. With shining eyes and her voice that betrayed her strong emotion, the presenter greeted and thanked the audience who applauded her as she entered the studio, inviting everyone to silence. This was indeed for her the first episode of the program recorded after the death of her husband Maurizio Costanzowhich took place on February 24th. Then, with the professionalism that distinguishes her, she kicked off the broadcast, during which the fifteen competitors of the Evening Phase were announced, starting on March 18 in prime time on Canale 5 and again hosted by Maria De Filippi. In the jury on the red armchairs there will be three new entries: the singer-songwriter Michele Bravi, Cristiano Malgioglio (which comes after a successful year with “Tale and what show” And “Such and such”) And the “surprise” Giuseppe Giofrè. The latter is at home to “Amici” because he won the dance circuit in the eleventh edition of Maria De Filippi’s talent show and went on tour with the likes of Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Justin Timberlake, Camila Cabello, Selena Gomez and Nicki Minaj. Also this year the artistic director will be Stephane Jarny.
From seventeen students we have passed to fifteen. Have remained out of the final competition the singer-songwriter Niveo and the dancer Benedetta. The latter received, surprisingly, a professional contract to dance with Mattia. So there will be a way to see her dance again. It was the professors themselves Lorella Cuccarini, Emanuel Lo, Arisa and Rudy Zerbi who judged who would pass to the evening with a system of dry votes. Nothing is known yet about the mechanism of the new Serale, nor about the possible pairings of professors for the competing teams.
