The fifth live of X-Factor is a double elimination evening, so it’s important to understand who will overcome this rock thus managing to go to the semifinals, for those who will come out today a contract is ready for the next tutorial at “Detto Fatto” in which they will teach housewives from all over Italy how not to make mayonnaise go crazy while humming Metallica.
The artists
Little Pieces Of Marmalade (9): This week the Smahing Punpkins shared their version of “Bullet With Butterfly Wings”, this week they try again with “I Am the Walrus” by the Beatles, if the re-share game works again next week they will have them dribble with the number shirt 10 of Napoli, you never know. Leaving aside the saints, the interpretations are always level, their “Digital Cramps” in the second heat is then a stuff for locals of the hardest Berlin. Adovable.
Cmqmartina (8): “The first beautiful thing” is the most beautiful thing sung so far by Cmqmartina, finally the essence of a girl with very valid numbers comes out. Too bad for the second performance, because the song works but she sings it out of breath; many thought she was the weakest competitor of the Hell Raton team, to us she seemed the most centered. The impression is that we will still hear about it.
Blind (5): Blind is not a singer, he is a cyborg with the likeness of Ultimo created to perfectly adapt to the contemporary record market. This makes it extremely functional, but also extremely boring. Mika says that the single “Your Affairs”, presented in the second round, is weak, for us it is second in ugliness only to the jacket worn while singing it, an absolute representation of the musical decadence we are experiencing, this continuous downward auction, where we chase simplicity at all costs and nothing that remains in your hands. Its a bit sad.
N.A.I.P. (6): Spot on assignment, authoritative performance, but give him something to do while he performs because on stage he moves like an amateur in trouble. He goes to the first ballot but is probably saved because the public doesn’t want him on the loose. Of course, from the avant-garde show the border, he shows us, can be very thin, in fact in the second round he pulls out the big boy, this “Partecipo” is not only well written and structured, but is also an almost unprecedented punch to the stomach. In the end the impression is that he sang them in our face and loud.
MYDRAMA (7): Certainly the best performance of his career, his version of “Little soul” is better than that of Ermal Meta, even if it didn’t take long. In the second heat she sings “Cruella” by Marracash and all her limits go back, at this point she is the weakest. Despite this he arrives unscathed the episode. Highlander.
Melancholia (8,5): Authoritative, beautiful to listen to and to see, the piece is “Hunter” by Bjork, degree of difficulty: “kiss on your elbow”; they come out with a fluency worthy of other stages. They come out in the first round, clearly the best, we should be sorry, but also not, because we remember that this is a TV show, which makes everything more fun. We will hear from you again soon and with pleasure.
Casadilego (6): The ennobling of “Dance Monkey” in the first run works up to a certain point; she comes out with her usual class, but the result is limp, limp. Much better in second when it stands up to The Beatles’ “Yesterday”, which makes a heartbeat skip.
The Judges
Mika (7): The duel with Agnelli is worth the money of the Sky subscription and, on points, he loses. He clings to the mirrors to try to discredit anyone who comes within range, he looked at the room for a moment and we felt judged for all that speck in the pizza.
Manuel Agnelli (10): It comes in a guerrilla version, blast with the microphone between his teeth, continuous dispensation “it’s just your opinion”. After the exclusion of the Melancholia, in protest, he reduces his interventions to “very good”; then he blurts out when Manuelito touches him the Little Pieces Of Marmalade, giving us one of the liveliest moments in the history of X-Factor. Thank god.
Hell Raton (8): Dressed as an Oompa Loompa, he actively participates in the perennial brawl orchestrated at the chair; when he tries, with a little strategy, to respond to blows, he unleashes Agnelli’s fatal wrath. It’s nice to see him defend his little girls like an older brother made up like one of the Orfei family.
Emma (sv): Someone evidently points out to her that all that endless sequence of “I’m honest”, “I have to be honest” and “I have to be honest”, she was fed up. She decides not to say it for the whole episode and in fact remains practically always silent. Not received.
