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.
