After weeks of anticipation and numerous doubts about how the production would respond to Morgan’s recent outings, in apology for the homophobic epithets hurled at an audience member at his last concert, The X Factor has finally begun.
Feel at home in your body, according to Julia Peditto.
X Factor judges and Morgan and Ambra Angiolini’s fight
During yesterday’s first episode of the auditions, all eyes were on the judges: Dargen d’Amicobut most of all Fedez, Morgan AND Amber Angiolini. On the other hand, yesterday was also the day that Prime Video made this episode available. Special Sanremo from the series Ferranier, which definitely didn’t go in the rapper’s favor. On the other side of the ring there are two “challenges”: actually, Morgan and Ambra Angiolini. In fact, already in the first episode I contrasts they made themselves known (on television). They argue about movies because he hates them, and she exclaims, “It’s not something everyone likes, it’s bullshit,” and she feels ironically humiliated when she is clearly treated with disdain.
It must be said that if there is enmity between them, then there is at least a reasonable reason for it: Ambra Angiolini is actually a very good friend Asia Argento, the singer’s historical former partner. No real arguments yet, though: just a sort of note on Angiolini’s Instagram, in which the caption for a post backstage at X-Factor reads, quoting the movie Finding Nemo, like this: “I’m one good shark, not a fish-eating automaton. If I want to change this image of myself, I must first change myself. Fish are friends, not food.”
Auditions and first “yes” to singers
Besides thinking about who this fish is, figuratively speaking, we come to the central point of the evening: the voices of singers who have decided to try to enter one of talent show the most important musicals in Italy. Who managed to overcome the harsh opinion of the judges?
Edoardo Brogi
Tuscan singer, whom many recognized from the competition in San Marino, where he presented his unreleased song; on X Factor he presented his cover of the song Stole the dancesuper popular song Milky Chance, to which he added his verse in Italian. Three “yes” and one “no” (from Fedez).

Group of four young Sicilian artists: Orestes, This (with a pierced balaclava covering the face), Zzama and Lele: They offered their unreleased song Damn bottomand they passed the test with 4 “yes”.
Matteo Alieno
Matteo Alieno, born Matteo Pierottiis the epitome of melancholy and sweetness as he sings with guitar in hand. I’m not crying, Franco Califano. The applause and emotions of the audience were followed by only 4 “yes”.
Andrea September
The young singer only has 21 years old and appeared in front of the cameras with Me Staje Appennenn’ Amo, Liberato; the cover of the song, sung in both Italian and Neapolitan dialect, convinced all four judges.
Cosmic calm

Matsby
Matsby, stage name of Matteo Martire.: All the judges say yes to his unreleased rap, Tears in my eyes.
Julia Petronia
The singer is emotional. Amber, Dargen and Morgan, and Fedez doubts its fragility; maybe this is the victory weapon of the artist who brought the song Je Veux to the stage?
Moan
Then it’s the artist’s turn Moan, stage name of Asia Leva.: Explosive and daring, she has wanted to make music since she first appeared on stage at the age of two and a half. His epiphany was the video for the song bad Romance Lady Gaga brought her version to the X Factor audition I like it rapper Cardi B. Obviously, four yes.
Angelique Beauvais
The peak of emotions of this first evening comes with the singer. Angelique Beauvais: his cover Night by Arisa is a hymn to music as therapy and pain as a way to face. Four “yes” and tears for all five of us.

Clelia Scalzo

Easter
At the registry office Pasquale Arpaia24-year-old Neapolitan introducing himself with a song Mount Everest Labyrinth. There is talent, but the judges also have doubts: he passes with a “no” from Dargen, a double “yes” from Ambra and Fedez and the bow tie fastens with the first shot (by Morgan, which symbolizes the “yes” of fate).
Animax Grozny
The duo lights up and hits the stage: a revolution of music and style that brings husband and wife to X Factor in catty and stray form. “Mr. Terrible” and “Mrs. Terrible” received four “yes” for the unreleased album “We Are All Animals.”
