Fine anno? Speriamo di no...altrimenti qui ci scappa XFactor Italia n°3

Emma: And now, the real challenge begins! Alessandro: The public has decided that at the final there will be... Madh! Lorenzo! ..and ... Mario! [Emma is in the ballot with Ilaria] Mario: [looking at the last performance of Emma] She has not missed a single note ... she is so elegant... Lorenzo: Emma is crazy ... she has that kind of madness that makes you a true artist Mario: [about Emma and Ilaria] They both sing very well... they both want to go to the final... Mika: There was a technical problem [during the performance of Emma] ... the base was not playing... Alessandro: [to the judges] Do you want to listen to the song again? Emma: I can also sing it "a cappella" [she sings her song again a cappella] Madh and Lorenzo: but what does this mean? It makes no sense to sing again ... at this point, also Ilaria must sing again a cappella... [ilaria sings again her song a cappella] Mario: but how can they choose between them ?? They are both amazing, they have both beautiful unreleased songs ... Alessandro: judges! who do you want to eliminate? Vicky: I choose Emma Mika: absolutely, I eliminate Ilaria. I'm sorry. Lorenzo: I think they are going to the tilt ... Fedez: if I were the tip of the balance I would go to the tilt ... I eliminate Emma, but my intention is to go to tilt... Lorenzo and Madh: [they seem very happy for the choice of Fedez, they have already realized that Ilaria is safe] Madh: Morgan first said: "Go Ilaria!". If Morgan is a consistent person ... Morgan: I appreciate both ... but I gave my "political support" to Victory ... I eliminate Emma. [Emma goes out of the studios with Mika] Mika: [to Emma] there is no sense in your elimination ... I'm not very proud of the choice of my colleagues... Emma: I feel to have already won...because I learned so much...vocally and artistically ... I'm ready to go out! Mika: I'm very sorry for Emma ... but at the same time I do not want to break this beautiful moment for Mario ... I've never thought that he could go to the final!

Auguroni a tutti! Buone Feste!

It 's too soon for me to understand the taste of the whole album, but I like what I hear. I like these "minimal" arrangements, his opened voice, the relaxed atmosphere, the melodies. What I've heard is the "Mika style" that I prefer.

An article about Emma's unrealesed song, Daddy Blues, with the text. Very powerfull and emotional. Emma unreleased song is a song with a retro flavor, perfectly built for the swing voice of this young Scottish mother. It is titled Daddy Blues: the music is written by Emma Morton, by her partner Luca Giovacchini and Alessandro Raina, while the text is by Emma and Luca. The song talks about abandonment and alcoholism. It is the story of Emma's father, who was an alcoholic; for her, it was very hard growing up with such a complicated man and explains it in the lyrics. "It was hard growing up with my father. The text is difficult, it is hard, but the music is a sort of relief. I want to go on stage and pull out everything...everything has to go out in this show." Daddy Blues How could I know, nobody told me your touch was cold as stone You get along, throwing fire burning homes The night is long when you got no one to hold hard cut from the start Once the prey now the hunt is in your eyes no love in your blood or in your heart Daddy took it all Hell fire in your eyes oh how you smoke daddy and i burned it and sliced it all up for you I nearly ****ed it all for you you bring me down and you push the dirt around you never did what you were meant to do I heard along the line your papa left you dry two of a kind your momma yeah, she took it all The once you took the bus to make a new life Took the ride and pay to make a new home You caught the bug and downed all hope Hell fire in your eyes oh how you smoke daddy and i burned it and sliced it all up for you I nearly ****ed it all for you you bring me down and you push the dirt around you never did what you were meant to do We’re through and I give you this song For you I’m learning how to be strong so when you see that i’m bleeding Please, won’t you see that I’m healing Hell fire in your eyes oh how you smoke daddy and i burned it and sliced it all up for you I nearly ****ed it all for you you bring me down and you push the dirt around you never did what you were meant to do Daddy we’re through if it wasn’t for you I’d have made by now so what I’m gonna do to pull through, daddy Daddy I’m burning and it’s all I can take Watch me fly, daddy You see me rise from the dirt you left behind you never did what you were meant to do oh daddy I’m through, daddy In the link below, you can find also the italian translation of the text. http://www.soundsblog.it/post/320594...uzione-e-video

This song is very touching....

A few minutes ago the news that this year, the number of competitors at Sanremo Festival has risen from 16 to 20. It's probable that one or more XF competitors will find a place.

Daily 34 Mika and Mario at the first rehearsal. http://www.mediafire.com/watch/69oka6kny2555q7/25_Daily34_10.12.14_Le_prime_prove_della_finale.mp4

I think that these comments are also the result of the Emma's exit from the show. To see Mario in the final and not Emma, has angered many people, because between Emma and Mario, it was clear that Emma was superior. But I think it's a mistake to compare Emma only with Mario, because Emma is superior to all the other competitors. She had to be there in the final, however. It's absurd, the whole show has lost much credibility with her exclusion. For the rest, I find it simplistic to think that Mario is voted just because he is tender, or because he lost his job and people feel sorry for his situation. People are not stupid at all: there is something of Mario that has affected the public. Mario is not perfect, but he is a classic italian singer and songwriter, credible and capable. He has a sincere story to tell. He's very communicative, he has not fear and he can improve a lot. After XF, he can build a more solid career than those of the other competitors.

Here the duets for the final show. Madh sings "Moon" with Malika Ayane Lorenzo sings "Sei nell'anima" [You're in the Soul] with Gianna Nannini Mario sings "La Notte" [The Night] with Arisa Ilaria sings "Sere Nere" [black Evenings] with Tiziano Ferro

Daily 33 Mika is not present in this Daily. But, if you like, in this video there's the moment when Mario comes back in his country, near the city of Olbia, Sardinia. The video is very tender, you can see where Mario comes from, a small country, in a quite difficult region to live, without many jobs possibilities. You can see the "wind turbines", those huge propellers that are used to harness the energy of the wind and create electricity, where Mario worked before losing his job and trying to enter in XF. You can see the country's small theater, where Mario sings for the first time, and all the people who could not enter, but followed him outside, in the cold, on a big screen. His family, his friends, his emotion. http://www.mediafire.com/watch/741022mvw33esat/24_Daily33_09.12.14_Mario_torna_a_casa.mp4 P.S. So happy for the news!!!

Daily 32 http://www.mediafire.com/watch/asniu7aw898lfea/22_Daily32_08.12.14_Le_assegnazioni_della_finale.mp4 These are the songs that Mario will sing in the final show MARIO 1) A duet (unknown title, for now) with one of the special guests of the final show. 2) All'orizzonte ( His unreleased song) 3) Use somebody (Kings of Leon). This time, Mario choose the song. Here the special guests of the final: Tiziano Ferro, Gianna Nannini, Arisa, Malika Ayane, David Guetta, Saint Motel

In short, last week at the end of the show Emma was in the ballot with Ilaria (Team Vicky). Nobody expected it, Emma was one of the favorites to win. Mika was very very sorry .... Emma sang very well last night, and her unreleased song was beautiful. In the final choice of the judges, Vicky eliminated Emma to save her contestant, Mika eliminated Ilaria for the same reason. The decision was in the hands of Fedez and Morgan, in this order. Fedez said that he thought it was right to go to the tilt ... that for him the two girls were at the same level, that he did not know what to do.. .but at the end he eliminated Emma. Morgan had already said, at the beginning of the show, the he wanted to support Vicky team, in any situation. Perhaps the idea to see in the final only Mika and Fedez contestants, for him was unbearable. So it was clear to everyone, including Fedez, that the tilt was possible, only with a Fedez's choice against Ilaria and not against Emma. The end of the story is that Emma has been eliminated. :aah: Mika was angry and disappointed (I was expecting another behavior by professionals) and the debates around this story have been endless for days. Who blames Morgan, for refusing to save a talent like Emma for his own reasons. Who blames Fedez for playing dirty: he wanted to eliminate Emma, the stronger rival of his team, and at the same time to remain "clean" in front of the public, placing the responsibility of the choice on Morgan. In this situation, the relationship between the judges has been further ruined. At least... that's what we saw on TV.

I think one thing about this edition of XF Italy. The show has been a success, a lot of public and the songs of "under and over" teams at the top of Itunes charts. But it has been a very strange edition , and the public has noticed it. The balances that have supported the show for eight years have been suddenly changed and I think that Mika found himself in a situation that he did not expected, very different from last year. The playful madness of the past years has turned into nervousness and aggressive behaviours. Why?? I don't know the real reason . Is Morgan the real problem ? Fedez? The Sony producers, entered actively into the show for the first time? Perhaps a combination of things. What I know, is that Mika has been so great in that situation and it was not easy. If he wanted to live a strong emotion, well... I think he lived it. Very often, Mika found himself at that table of judges "alone like a dog" (do you say in this way? ), clearly embarrassed or in the midst of violent battles. He remained himself, he never reacted to provocations or personal attacks and he showed a side of himself professional, elegant and intelligent in a contest that often degenerated. The job done with his guys has been interesting, brave and sincere. I loved him, his strength, integrity and sensitivity so many times...while the other judges were only focused on themselves and on their personal struggles, Mika has always talked as a musician...about music, songs and art. This is what I've seen. I can not feel his participation to this XF Italy as a bad thing. He did his job, an hard job this time, and he did it well. He can be proud of himself.

In these two interviews with Emma, the girl talks a lot about Mika and their relationship and about how he worked with her. She is very sincere. Here the translation. Emma and the relationship with Mika My relationship with Mika is strange ... because our relationship has been very professional ... he is extremely professional ... when we were together we talked about work ... he is very focused on work ... but there is an element between us ... one thing ... how do you say? a thing that teased me, that stung me...and at the same time there was so much warmth ... a fraternal relationship ... he never allowed me to drown in my insecurities ... even when I went to him crying, he does not ever told me: "Oh baby, come here, I understand you...." No! He said: "No, that's no good, you must not cry! You're an adult, you're an artist! Let's talk about this..." And so, I was almost shocked ... but in this way, he could get out of me ...well, I don't know how to say...he has been able, in his own way, without much softness... he has been able to pull out of me ... my strength. He has always given me challenges ... and at first I was troubled because he always wanted to bring me out of my securities, he forced me to do things that I considered too high for me ... he has been able to make me believe that I am able to do more than I thought You and Mika have a good relationship.Send him a message. Emma: Thanks Mika! Because you have been able to bring out of me the best, you've demonstrated to be a very intelligent man but also very sensitive. I was very impressed how you managed to read inside me so quickly, to understand me both artistically and humanly ... you managed to figure out how to bring out of me the beauty.

Daily 31 - Backstage It is a huge video to upload, so I made a cut with Emma, Mario, Mika comments and the final elimination of Emma, with extra moments with Mika. Be prepared to cry at the end. http://www.mediafire.com/watch/834ckkkt08ieg1k/21_Daily31_05.12.14_Mika_Backstage_Semifinale.mp4 Extrafactor This is the whole extrafactor after Emma's elimination.

A lovely pic from Live7! Mario overjoyed after realizing that he could go to the final Emma breathless after realizing that she had to go to the ballot Mika ... completely shocked! :shocked:

Here the unrealesed song of Mario Garrucciu, "On the horizon" The song is written completely by this Sardinian songwriter. "On the horizon is about the end of a love story and the moment when you decide not to stay longer and you look to tomorrow, because tomorrow it will be better." On the horizon I feel that this air wants to tell me freedom sand caresses my feet only you can't tell me that you're not there the sun shines and shines anger will pass me darkness falls on me Now, I do not cry for you anymore On the horizon if I see the waves you are not there anymore On the horizon there are no waves you will not be you our sun will burn the memories I have of you our sun turn off the anger I feel for you Among the clouds above my regrets leave millions of stars or perhaps more with my story I will accompany all that remains of me maybe one day it will shine when I'll know what it represents for you when I'll know the truth On the horizon if I see the waves you are not there anymore On the horizon there are no waves you will not be you our sun will burn the memories I have of you our sun turn off the anger I feel for you And then you'll not be surprised of people's speeches they are increasingly sharp but no one knows what's there outside they never understood anything and never will about this story here if ever there will be a true end then you will understand On the horizon if I see the waves you are not there anymore On the horizon there are no waves you will not be you our sun will burn the memories I have of you our sun turn off the anger I feel for you I feel that this air want to tell me freedom sand caresses my feet just to tell me that you're not there All'orizzonte Sento che quest'aria voglia dirmi libertà la sabbia accarezza i piedi miei solo non puoi dirmi che non ci sei il sole splende e splenderà la rabbia mi passerà il buio cade su di me ora non piango più per te All'orizzonte se vedo le onde tu non ci sei più all'orizzonte non ci sono onde tu non sarai tu il nostro sole brucerà il ricordo che ho di te il nostro sole spegnerà la rabbia che provo per te Tra le nuvole lassù i miei rimpianti lascerò milioni di stelle o forse più con la mia storia accompagnerò tutto ciò che rimane di me forse un giorno brillerà quando sapro' cos'è per te quando saprò la verità All'orizzonte se vedo le onde tu non ci sei più all'orizzonte non ci sono onde tu non sarai tu il nostro solo brucerà il ricordo che ho di te il nostro sole spegnerà la rabbia che provo per te E poi non ti sorprenderai delle lingue della gente sono sempre più taglienti ma nessuno sa cosa c'è di là non ha mai capito niente e mai potrà di questa storia qua se mai ci sarà una vera fine allora si capirà All'orizzonte se vedo le onde tu non ci sei più all'orizzonte non ci sono onde tu non sarai tu il nostro solo brucerà il ricordo che ho di te il nostro sole spegnerà la rabbia che provo per te Sento che quest'aria voglia dirmi libertà la sabbia accarezza i piedi miei solo per dirmi che non ci sei Video: http://www.soundsblog.it/post/320500/x-factor-2014-mario-inedito-all-orizzonte-video

On this blog I found the more 'important comments of Mika, Morgan, Emma and Mara about the elimination of Emma, during the live show and the extra factor. I try to translate them to give you an idea. http://www.dituttounpop.it/x-factor-reazioni-mika-ed-emma-dopo-leliminazione-per-settimanale-mika-lascia-x-factor-dopo-puntata-ieri-sera-come-dargli-torto/ ____ Mika: "I'm not saying something to "inflate" Emma's presence and what she has done... .I can honestly say that the unreleased song was not the most catchy...it was very personal, alternative, almost heavy, but it was credible. The whole story was believable. The second performance of Amy Winehouse has been her best performance ..The ballot is a decision of the public .... I can think only about the balance between the unreleased song of Emma and the song of Amy Winehouse....perhaps they were not well balanced ... But I can't understand how do you [to the judges] not make decisions to save her. " Morgan: "We are forced by ruthless mechanism that wants to give a tone of competition ..... I have not eliminated Emma, I chose Ilaria ... ..they are two different points of view. [...] " Mara Maionchi (to Morgan): these are only words... Mara Maionchi (to Emma, on the stage after elimination): "...Emma, these things can happen. It happened to me .... I sent away a competitor of Morgan (now a succeful singer, Noemi). " Mika: "Emma. You absolutely have the permission to be angry. Don't scream, because this thing is disgusting,... but you're absolutely allowed to be angry at this time. " Mara: "I made an example [Noemi] that I hope will bring great fortune to Emma ... it's difficult when people vote." Mika: "Yes..when "people" vote ... ..but here, we are all professionals !!!" Mara Maionchi: Mika...forgive me... but I'm a professional too. And I eliminated that girl, Noemi. Even professionals can go wrong. I have done more mistakes that right things. Mika: But me too! Mara Maionchi: Perhaps...even this one is a mistake ... Mika: But I'm not talking about our mistakes. I'm just saying that 10 minutes after a decision like this...well, you can be angry. Mara: Emma, are you angry? Emma: "Well...If a person has desire and passion to create...that person can do it.... I have so much to say. I was sorry not going to the final ... a thing of which I am proud was my approach... because I did not think to "win X Factor". I wanted to give my best to give people the desire to see me again. I've always done it...and that's why I'm happy....and that's why I win now...now, at this point. " Mika: "I did not like the judgments ... the choice ... of course. I did not like the choice ... but I must say that I liked so much more the reaction of this strong girl!!! She has realized that it is better to start her career in this way ...let me to tell you this thing...better starting in this shocking way ... .than going out smoothly next week. For the potential of your career, it is better cutting abruptly...and then going on with fireworks! "
