X Factor 2025 Live 2 30 October: competitor report cards, songs, first round votes
Amanda, vote 7
Last week was at risk of elimination. His mentor Jake The Fury he ran for cover and gave her injections of confidence, advising her to do as The Gladiator and enter the arena without fear. The young woman sang No Time To Die by Billie Eilish. Beautiful voice, elegance, correct intonation but zero emotions. This evening too she ended up in a runoff against Michelle. The song for the challenge is All I want by Kodaline.
Tellydon’tcry, rating 6
Introverted Tellynoncrying spent his birthday on stage singing Abysmal of Tananai. Best wishes but be careful. One piece after another, one similarity after another and we find ourselves in a bar doing karaoke. We should be more daring and get out of this limbo of singing similarity, trying other musical references.
X Factor 2025 Live 2: Rob, rating 8
In 1985, Antonella Ruggiero exploded with I hear you of Matia Bazar. This evening, Rob reinterpreted it at full rock with a spatial voice and vocal power, convincing the audience and jury. What determination! For Achille Lauro he is the “real underdog of this edition”.

Layana, rating 7/8
Sensual rumba atmospheres and intense voice for Layana, That she launched herself in a glamorous version of Loving you by CCCP – Faithful to the line. No Gianna Nannini-like imitations but one beautiful and elegant personal interpretation.
Mayu, vote 6
Mayu took the stage with the catchy Unconditionally by Katy Perry. A well-executed piece that doesn’t enhance his clean voice and personality.
X Factor 2025 Live 2: Delia, rating 8
The lioness of Paternò (copyright Jake La Furia) continue to play with mashups profitably to build unusual musical worlds. This evening he put together two very distant songs: the popular one Hello beautiful, Sicilian fragments And Pink Soldiers of 23, from the series’ soundtrack Squid Game. Gabbani’s question is right: «How will it find its space in today’s recording market?».

X Factor 2025 Live 2second round: Amanda and Michelle on the ballot
EroCaddeo, rating 7
Beloved by teenagers, who shower him with soulful letters, EroCaddeo he made them happy with one very poignant version of Black Evenings by Tiziano Ferro. A more Baglioni-style interpretation but the result is there. Gabbani was emotional.
Michelle, vote 7
Between Gabbani and his protégé, Michelle, the choice of Next to me by Imagine Dragons it created some discontent. The young woman didn’t feel she was hers and yet, immersing it in the electronics, the result was excellent. Some vocal uncertainty but a nice performance. Unfortunately, he ends up in a runoff with Amanda. The song for the final challenge is En and Xanax by Samuele Bersani.
X Factor 2025 Live 2: Tomasi, rating 7/8
A beautiful song, Kurt Cobain by Brunori Sas, That Tomasi honored with voice and soul. Gabbani wanted to make a small note on Tomasi’s difficulty in pronouncing words. Jake La Furia’s energetic and dissenting reaction was not long in coming: «And who is he? the monster of Scandisci?”.

PierCi, vote 8
PierCi, one of the favorites of this edition, he went wild dancing and singing Locked out of Heaven by Bruno Mars. His voice is always fantastic and, this time, he finally managed to let go, having fun to the fullest. For him, only compliments but, as Lauro said: «don’t you dare do those jumps again, you looked like my uncle at Christmas».
X Factor 2025 Live 2: Viscardi 7/8
Left aside Virtual Insanity of the Jamiroquai, Viscardi felt more affinity with Purple Rain by Prince. Paola Iezzi satisfied him and did very well. The piece is there, the voice too.
