“M factor”. That is, Morgan factor. The talent’s press conference, which begins on Thursday, begins exceptionally without delay with the Morgan topic.
Sky accepted the judge’s apology after he uttered homophobic phrases at one of his concerts a few weeks ago, explains Antonella D’Errico. “His distancing from any form of homophobia was made even more concrete by Morgan’s decision to donate half of his salary to Casa “Arcobaleno”. He also intervenes: “This concert was a difficult moment – he explains – in which a complex dynamic arose that, on the one hand, gave rise to an obvious linguistic error: the words are very important and I believe in them.” A word should not be taken lightly. But in the end there was an opportunity to start a debate, and if so We want to, we’ll talk about it more, but later, because now we have to concentrate on the X factor.” He doesn’t want to say how much money is involved, but explains: “For children who are in Milan from their Families were separated, four apartments were renovated. You do the math.”
The rivalry between Morgan and Fedez
The rapper isn’t upset about the phrase: “Go to Fedez’s concerts”: “I had shingles when that happened, so I was busy with more important things for my health… I don’t think it has to be that way.” Let’s just move on.
The two deny tensions: “After 9 years I found a Fedez who was very mature and very professional.” There are some things that I really like about him and I see that he is a reference point in television professionalism. Fedez replies: “The rivalry is there as much as it is among everyone else, what will happen during the live shows cannot be predicted.”
Amber’s words
“I dance and when things get bad I sing T’appartgengo, I do it to bring peace,” jokes Ambra, a recognized judge. “We may have faced each other in a harsh way, but I have no regrets, I think it’s an important signal.” Take responsibility for what you say. Messages come out beyond the music. I want to bring people to the X Factor who express themselves without paying attention to the algorithm that works. When you live in a world full of clones, you get bored. We wanted to look for something different, a bit like when I was a child and threw myself without knowing where I would land. And if everything goes wrong, I’ll definitely sing ‘Giura’.”
What’s new in this edition?
“The line change was very noticeable,” explains Fedez. “Maybe we don’t know it, but after an initial screening of the program’s staff, the children who come to us clearly saw that they are looking for projects that need a specific connotation, a direction that requires deeper work for us .” That’s probably not because it hasn’t been done before. The topic is that of a completely different profession.”
So there will be new competitors, Dargen D’Amico also confirms: “We are also entertainers for the children who in some way ask us to become experts, we have to accompany them.” There is room for everyone. For me there is always the search for songs that touch me. I still enjoy a song. Morgan adds spice and metaphysics: “On television you make television, music is somewhere else, but can sometimes collapse.” Music lives in a different place than television, it evolves. When I started X Factor there wasn’t this unreleased thing, we had to do covers, Simona Ventura and I introduced it, I remember the first issue. From then on, the discography took note of the talents that had previously been taken somewhat lightly. Many important musicians came from there: Maneskin, Michele Bravi, Mengoni, Noemi. I like it when someone has something to say and says it with their voice. I focus on artists who have something to say.
Morgan and the loneliness of being a woman
Ambra talks about her loneliness as a woman: “I speak as a thinking being. With Morgan we often argued about moments of egocentrism, at this table I don’t think there is a dominant man, just as I don’t feel like I’m a representative of women. I no longer feel fragile, and when I feel threatened, I defend myself. He and I were very excited during the audition.”
