X FACTOR 2024 comments and report cards live. Danielle on the ballot

Music news

This evening, November 7, The X Factor comes alive with the third live show, marking a turning point in the competition.

After the first eliminations, the four judges – Achille Lauro, Jake La Furia, Manuel Agnelli and Paola Iezzi – prepare to compete on the stage of the X Factor Arena together with their talents, for an evening entirely dedicated to dance.

REPORT CARDS AND COMMENTS

SECOND RUN

Les Votives – Rating 7.15 – As with Punkcake this super muscular rock version works. Fun!

Frankly – Rating 7.25 -> It's also perfect with Gigi's maranzata. She looks like one of those virtuoso vocalists from DJ Edm. Convincing.

Lorenzo Salvetti – Rating 6.50 -> I would say off topic (compared to the theme of the evening). However, he is always good and you manage to adapt to this too.

EL MA – Rating 6.00 -> I also expected something more from her, especially in terms of performance. Maybe he's too young and innocent to try his hand at the absolute Queen. Worth seeing again!

PUNKCAKE – Rating 7.15 -> Rod Steward has always been punk in his own way. They are on point, rough and tight… Tough performance!

FIRST RUN

On the ballot: Danielle

Danielle – Rating 7.00 -> It convinces me more and more. He manages to bring anything into his style, even things that are not his territory. Very recognizable voice and growing performance.

The Foolz – Rating 6.15 -> Not bad to dirty Donna Summer's piece with their rock. I didn't like the choirs at all, they seemed a bit scholastic to me.

LOWRAH – Rating 6.00 -> I imagined her to be very strong, but instead she seemed a bit weak vocally. Much better in standing than in the vocal test.

PATAGARRI – Rating 7.00 -> Making the Bee Gees swing and jazzy is a complex but feasible operation. It's a different thing. Objective achieved in any case.

Mimì -> Rating 7.00 – This time the right piece. It plays well, sings well, envelops.

THE ASSIGNMENTS

These are the judges' assignments to their artists:

· for Achille Lauro's team:

Lorenzo Salvetti he will perform a cover of “Non Succeeding More”, evergreen by the “most beautiful couple in the world” Claudia Mori and Adriano Celentano;
Les Votives they will bring their version of Sylvester's “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)”, a truly immortal disco anthem;
THE PATAGARRI they will try their hand at the legendary “Stayin' Alive” by the Bee Gees

· in Jake La Furia's team:

Frankly he will bring his version of “L'amour Toujours”, a world hit by “Captain” Gigi D'Agostino;
EL MA he will be grappling with an icon like Madonna and her irresistible “Hang Up”;
The Foolz they will sing “Hot Stuff”, one of the cornerstones of dance music brought to success by Donna Summer;

· for the competitors led by judge Manuel Agnelli:

Mimi will bring a cover of “I will survive” (in the Cake version), an extraordinary song by Gloria Gaynor that made entire generations dance;
