Success on the last night for the Rkomi squad formed by Alessandro De Santis and Mario Francese
Already ready for the stage, last night the confirmation came: The French Saints are the winners of X Factor 2022. The duo in the Rkomi squad, made up of Alessandro De Santis and Mario Francese, took first place after a terrific win the Sky talent show final without intermediate elimination, in which all four participants remaining in the race reached the end of the three heats. Strengthened by a little more experience than the other finalists, between concerts, already released albums and another TV appearance (along with a third member) at Amici di Maria De Filippi a few years ago, the French Saints convinced the audience and the judges from the start, by presenting themselves confidently on stage and being able to propose original and elegant performances every week.
During the finale, they were pinned to the top step of the podium, facing Beatrice Quinta, Linda and the Tropeas in a battle for the final note, crowning the winner at the head of a show packed with guests and duets. of flames and choreography. The dance energy of Meduza, a DJ trio who conquered the world from Italy, opened the evening, which was broadcast live on Sky and Tv8 and streamed on Now. Instead, the competition opened with a round of duet: each contestant was joined on stage by Francesca Michielin, who split into the roles of presenter (wearing her now trademarked Regaz) and singer, acclaimed by audiences and jury for her versatility became. The second round with a medley in which everyone suggested the best and the third with the unreleased tracks were interspersed with the super guest Nuclear Tactical Penguins and the four judges, who in turn were protagonists on stage. Cult moment and enthusiastic audience with Ambra, which T’appartengo proposed again, complete with choreography (and backing track?) to go straight back to Non la Rai and the 90’s.
Unreleased moment but not too much for Fedez who, scar in sight, performed for the first time the new single Crisi di Stato (released at midnight) after surprisingly hearing it on Rtl 102.5 yesterday afternoon. The tension of the live dissipated, Fedez also dropped to a confession: My mother and my wife will hate me. I once smoked a joint with Tropeas, he said, causing a stir. Judgments and applause, with a partial result that saw Linda and Tropea lined up from the start, accompanied the end of the televoting in the long night of the finale, in an output that, in contrast to the weary air breathed in the first few weeks, (with recurring rumors of the closure or return of the Fremantle-produced talent to Rai) recorded an average share of 16% more than the previous year, so much so that at the end of the evening Francesca Michielin announced the opening of the castings for the next year. And if on the one hand there are those who complain about the repeatability of a format that would have become boring by now, on the other hand the web and social networks keep the attention high on the competitors, the judges and the dynamism, also thanks to the interaction with the same ones protagonists, as the youngsters have free access to mobile phones in competition and no longer live in a bubble like they used to. It was Fedez in particular who opened a window on the program’s future: I’m here, just in case, he said. The finalists, in particular, are looking to the future, and despite their victory, they now have to stay out of the TV spotlight.
