A surprise ending with a verdict that overturns the predictions that Sangiovanni gave as the announced winner. A prediction that seemed to be reinforced by the singer’s collection of collateral prizes. And instead Giulia Stabile has conquered the public at home (even in a rather clear way, obtaining 60% of the votes), also subverting the tradition that sees the dancers penalized compared to the singers. For both, however, it must be bet, the adventure in the world of entertainment is only at the beginning.
THE STORY OF THE EVENING
It starts with thanks to the professors, fundamental in this edition and who will be spectators tonight. Congratulations that De Filippi extends to the three jurors, Stefano De Martino, Emanuele Filiberto and Stash. And then and it is the turn of the five finalists who enter the scene. Before they left the little house, Maria asked each of them to write a thought about their experience. He reads the one written by Sangiovanni, who compared “Amici” to a train journey and his companions to passengers with peculiar characteristics. Then comes Gaia, winner of the last edition, who brings the cup that will go to the winner and makes her birthday speech to the boys.
THE RACE BEGINS – We start with a singing circuit. To decide who will go to the final there will be a score composed of 50% from the vote from home and 50% from the votes of the professors and the jury. We start with the unpublished: Aka7even breaks the ice with “Loca”, followed by Deddy with “0 steps” and finally Sangiovanni with his “Lady”. The tour starts again with Deddy (“Not for me”), then Sangiovanni (“Happy birthday”) and finally Aka (“Hypnotized”). Last lap with Sangiovanni (“All night”) which opens followed by Aka7even (“Yellow”) and Deddy (“The sky in the wrong direction”). Before the result there is time for an interlude in which Stefano De Martino invites Lorella Cuccarini to dance a wild “Tuca Tuca.
THE FIRST FINALIST AND NEW CHALLENGE – It’s time to find out the first verdict of the evening. Predictions respected and Sangiovanni in the final. Now it remains to be seen who will reach it. Giulia and Alessandro compete in dance rehearsals. Giulia starts with a piece that is a mix between “Milord” and “Up”. Alessandro responds with “Requiem for a Dream”. Giulia starts dancing on “A Sky Full of Stars” while Alessandro responds with a taranta. We return to the girl who dances on “Warrior” for the last performance. In the middle of her choreography, her father appears on the big screen who thanks her for the emotions she has made to feel, but the girl, showing great professionalism, does not break down and goes on. Alessandro closes on “La cura” and also for him there is his mother’s surprise on the big screen.
MOMENT OF AWARDS – De Filippi calls Aka7even and Deddy to the studio to have all the boys at the center of the scene. And the artistic director Stephane Jarny is called to reward them with the Tim Critics Award. A long roundup is made for the explanations of vote of the journalists connected in streaming and it is almost a plebiscite for Sangiovanni who takes home the Tim Critics Award for a value of 50 thousand euros. Before the result of the dance challenge, Arisa and Stash duet in an exciting way on a solo piano and voice version of “L’anno checome” by Lucio Dalla. Then Pio and Amedeo who return to “Amici” after the successes of “Felicissima sera”.
THE SECOND VERDICT AND THE FINAL FIGHT – It’s time for the result of the dance challenge: the finalist is Giulia. For the final victory it will therefore be a family clash between Sangiovanni and the dancer, who have been a couple for a few months. Sangiovanni begins with “Malibu” which opens an alternation of performances in which the two give the best of themselves. In the middle of the race Rudy Zerbi finally convinces Arisa to grant him a “Tuca Tuca”. After two more rounds of exhibition the televoting ends. The games are done. Now we just have to wait for the proclamation.
THE AWARDS – Before the final verdict there are all the other prizes to be awarded. Elena D’Amario delivers the Tim Prize of 30 thousand euros in gold tokens to Giulia. Then it’s up to the radio: the representatives of R101, RDS, Radio Italia and Rtl 102.5 deliver the prize for the most radio song to Sangiovanni for “Malibu”. Then it is the turn of the SIAE prize, worth 20 thousand euros in gold tokens. To deliver it is Giovanni Caccamo and also in this case Sangiovanni wins. Giulia Pauselli instead delivers the Marlù prize of 7 thousand euros in gold tokens that goes to each of the finalists.
THE FINAL VERDICT – Before the awarding of the title of champion there is time for the performance of Gaia, who presents the new single “Boca”. And then the cards start … and surprisingly Giulia triumphs! Victory is his.
