TO win X Factor 2022 are the French saintsCanavese duo composed by Alessandro De Santis (lead vocals, guitar and ukulele) and Mario French (backing vocals, keyboards, synthesizer and electric bass) from Rkomi’s roster. Well-deserved podium for the boys who always obtained the unanimous positive judgment of the judges during the show (both in the selection phase and during the live performances).
Second place Beatrice Quinta (roster of Dargen D’Amico), followed by Linda (Fedez roster) and then come on Tropea (roster Amber Angiolini). All powerful voices that could have aspired to victory. Overwhelming this final of the talent that also thrilled with the performances of the presenter herself, Francecsa Michielin and in which Fedez presented his new single State crisis.
X Factor 2022: the French Saints win
With a defined music of “colored cynicism”which perpetually oscillates between the collective vital impulse and the need for self-isolation, and with an intriguing look (which never hurts) made of skilful mix between retro mustache and modern nail polishi French saints they immediately convinced everyone, presenting themselves to the selections with the unpublished work It’s not that bad.
Then, episode after episode of X Factorshowing a growth path, they kidnapped the Mediolanum Forum of Assago with songs like Creeps of Radiohead, Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye feat Kimbra, When We Were Young of The Killers. In the final in the first heat they duet with Francesca Michielin on the notes of California by Phanotm Planet.
In the second heat done by Best Of, with the most significant songs, they enchanted with A street kid of the ravens, I love you by Ornella Vanoni e Creeps radio head. The third and final round of the unreleased, their sophisticated It’s not that bad he consecrated them victors.
Who are the French Saints
Alessandro and Mario, both 24 years old, the former from Ivrea, the latter from Cuorgnè, they grow up as friends in Ivrea. Here, on the school benches, together with Davide Buono they found the group The Jab with which, in 2017, they also participate in ad Friends, however being eliminated before the evening. They then become a duo which, merging and slightly crippling their surnames (De Santis and French), is called precisely the French Saints. In 2019 they released their first album All Manifestos.
They make the leap in 2020 when they start the collaboration with the producer Dade (the same as Salmo and Marracash). In 2021, with the single Fabulous young people, win the Musicultura music festival. In July of the same year they play at the Giffoni Film Festival where they share the stage with Franco126. This year, before X Factorrelease two songs, Mister And Throw me down. And now the podium of the Sky show.
X Factor: the non-winners (who like them though)
Even the non-winners are convincing. Beatrice Quinta in particular who in the final duet with Francesca Michielin on the notes of Sour of Prozac+, and in the Best of section it was liked with Believe by Cher, All my mistakes by Subsonica e Pink flowers, peach blossoms by Lucio Battisti. Very interesting the character and the voice of Linda that in the duet with the presenter she performed with Take Me To Church by Hozier and in the Best of with Coraline of the Maneskins, Waves by Dean Lewis E Still Don’t Know My Name of Labrinth. The Tropeas are also to be appreciated which they brought in the duet with Francesca Michielin Someone To Love by Jefferson Airplane and in the Best of moon of the Verdenas, I’m fine with you by Lucio Battisti e Asylum Republic by Vasco Rossi.
Recall that too the presenter Francesca Michielin was born in X Factor: won the fifth edition in 2011. But even non-winners of the show can have great careers. They teach it Maneskin, become a worldwide phenomenon, second just to X Factor 2017.
