EroCaddeo, Sakina Sanogoh and Mattia Pilloni with Plastic Haze passed the Bootcamp, the second phase of the race to the X Factor live shows.
No hesitation from judges Paola Iezzi, Achille Lauro, Jake La Furia, and Francesco Gabbani when the 27-year-old from Sinnai takes the stage. After his romantic unreleased song, "Punto," he wins everyone over this time with a cover of Venerus's "Sei acqua." Damiano Caddeo , winner of the 2021 Radiolina Contest and behind him the EP "Scrivimi quando arrivi," which includes "Luglio," which has become an anthem with the line "for me you'll be like Cagliari after 7," is now innumerable.
The decision over Sakina Sanogoh was a tough one for the four players at the table. The 25-year-old, born in the Ivory Coast but living in Cagliari, went all-in last night with Alicia Keys' "Fallin'." Paola Iezzi was more critical: "Either you change it and make it your own, or it's too similar to the original." In the end, however, she received a green card, like Achille Lauro's, and both—according to the new rules— prevailed over the "reds" Gabbani and Jake: "We'll put you to the test."
The "galactic tamarri" also fly to Last Call, the final test before the live show: Plastic Haze, with Arborea musician Mattia Pilloni on drums, literally make everyone jump out of their seats with Adele's "Rolling in the Deep." And social media is already cheering them on: "Crazy!"
