    HOW AM I GOING TO MANAGE IN OCTOBER?!?!

     

    I was actually thinking about this the other day: people who haven't seen him performing live with an orchestra yet, you're not ready, you just can't imagine how powerful it is.

    I still remember almost 5 years after all standing ovations the audience did spontaneously in Florence, just wow :wub2:

    Yes, the photo is from yesterday, and the timing is correct -- his mother passed in mid-January.

     

    Oh okay, in fact I wondered if it had already happened when they recorded yesterday’s interview at Passage des Arts (on the 11th Jan), so maybe it hadn’t yet...

    Some things I don't understand yet about the procedure, if I get it right, Edda has to compete against the talent whose song is played the least on Spotify this week, right? If that is her own song, will she automatically be out, or will she compete against the one with the second least plays? Who will decide, the judges or the public? And if she wins in the next show, will that other talent automatically be out?

    They didn't explain this new process clearly but I suppose that she will compete against the one with the second least plays and, knowing from the previous years how a "ballottaggio" works, I think the judges will decide who win. The one who wins continue the competition during the evening, whereas the other one has to leave immediately.
    (And at the end of the evening there will probably be another ballottaggio with the two least voted based on their new performances)

    And also I've been wondering, the judges voted 3:1 against her / for that other band - what if it had been 2:2?

    When they vote 2:2, a new flash voting section is opened and it’s up to the audience.

    From what I understand, the last episodes were repeated on free TV after they had been on Pay TV

     

    Yes, each pre-recorded episode (so until the 22nd of October) is broadcasted on a free channel (TV8) the day after the broadcasting on Sky, on Friday (so for example, the first episode this Thursday will be broadcasted on TV8 on Friday the 18th). But then unfortunately the live episodes won't be rebroadcasted on the free tv, only on Sky.

    Vanity Fair Italia  - 7 Aug 2020 

    Interview with XF judges 

     

    https://www.vanityfair.it/show/tv/2020/08/07/x-factor-2020-giudici-intervista-emma-marrone-mika-manuel-agnelli-hell-raton-tv 

     

    «È la prima volta che noi giudici ci frequentiamo anche fuori dal programma. Usciamo, andiamo a cena e visitiamo mostre. È come se fossimo il cast di una sit-com» rivela Mika con il consueto entusiasmo.

     

    MIKA: «Torno a X Factor con la stessa anima, ma con più esperienza»
    Sono passati 4 anni dall’ultima volta che si è seduto dietro al bancone di X Factor, eppure per Mika sembra passata una settimana: «In questi anni ho fatto tante cose: tv, ho ripreso con i tour, ho trovato il mio linguaggio. Sono dovuto andare via per crescere e ora torno qui con la stessa anima e un po’ più di esperienza di prima». La parola d’ordine per Mika, dopotutto, rimane una: leggerezza. «Solo così riesci a essere cosciente del meccanismo, ma anche a dimenticarlo totalmente: è questo mix di leggerezza e prendere le cose sul serio il segreto di uno show di questo tipo». I colleghi li conosceva poco – Hell Raton non lo aveva mai incrociato, con Manuel Agnelli aveva parlato 5 minuti nel dietro le quinte una volta sola, ed Emma l’aveva intervistata nel suo show, «anche se all’inizio della sua carriera, poco dopo Amici, si era presentata alla presentazione del mio album in maniera molto candida. Ritrovarci seduti insieme oggi è molto bello» -, ma tra loro è subito scattata un’energia particolare: «È bello avere la mattina le stesse energie che abbiamo a cena la sera prima». Insieme alla gioia di aver trovato alle selezioni meno «karaoke» e cover in linea con lo spirito del cantante in gara, Mika, nonostante abbia partecipato come giudice a 3 edizioni e non abbia mai portato a casa il titolo, alla vittoria non pensa: «Io vinco sempre nel mio cuore, chi se ne frega del resto. Se perdo, perdo con grazia e aplomb: faccio un big splash anche perdendo».

    I wonder why they always seem to wear the same clothes for every recording. Maybe so the TV people can cut it all the way they want to, and no one will notice which was on what day? But they have several episodes on TV with the auditions, don't they? Wouldn't it be boring to see the judges in the same clothes for all of these? :dunno:

    Yes. It's the same as for the Voice pre-recorded auditions. They have to wear the same clothes to let the production make cuts for several episodes. 

    Last year I had enough of seeing Mika in his red and gold jacket  during several months of watching all blind audition episodes😁

     

    During XF they do change their clothes even during the auditions, the production has always mixed together different pre-recorded episodes with different clothes (https://youtu.be/hO8DxkyzHsQ for example you can see several outfits in this summary of last year's first episode of auditions) 

    I saw an IG story of the XF account a few days ago and Manuelito was dressed differently than the 2 first days, so I think they all changed their clothes but we didn't get any pic yet.

    Is this one also called Manuel, like the younger one, do I understand it right?

     

    He's name is Manuel Agnelli, so yes, they're both called Manuel but they rather call the younger one "Manuelito". 

    Manuel Agnelli didn't have any social account and it seems yesterday night they had fun creating him a new Ig account called "The colleagues of Manuel Agnelli" lol 🤣

    For those in the standing area: we will have some spare coloured papers, which we could give you to hold up - maybe you can organize a rainbow at least in the frontrow, but a bit further back it'll be impossible to keep the colours in the right order. Maybe it'd look nice just to hold up colourful sheets, even if the colours are mixed? :dunno: That could also include @Sweetieval 's papers, but I'm not sure if it'd look good, or just messy. What does everyone think?

     

    I've just finished printing my 1500 sheets, also about 20 maps of the venue for the helpers, so everyone knows which colour goes where. Some fans who were in Brussels and have seats in Paris also said they'd help us. Now I'm working on the labels, here's a photo of 2 different versions, I'm looking forward to hear your opinion which is better. ;) (and whether the French in the short version is correct, I tried to adjust it but not sure it's ok)

    BTW, I had feared the violet and pink would be too pale, but I saw it's no problem, they look really colourful and strong when lighted with the phone torch. :thumb_yello:

    I'd say that the left version would be enough, I think it's clear 👍

     

    So looking forward to this huge FA, I can't even imagine how beautiful it'll look like! Hope everyone will follow the instructions and take part in it!!
