The judges at the press conference: «Lauro a dealer in controversy? we are really friends” “Just one new song in the charts? Numbers aren’t everything”
In front of the press, the 4 judges managed to dodge with class some specific questions how thorny of journalists. In particular, those regarding possible disharmonies in the group and the difference between the big talent show numbers and the poor sales success of its winners.
In particular, we talked about a specific episode in which, off the air, Jake would have whispered to Gabbani to never argue with Achilles Laurelcalling it a “Meddler of controversy”.
«In the off-air montage they look like clashes but they never are. That evening, Gabbani was exaggerating his fervor and I wanted to tell him not to fall for it with Lauro. I always tell Achille that he is a strategist, we always laugh about it. I’m sorry to disappoint you but we don’t arguewe also have a chat where we send each other videos.”
Does harmony really reign between the 4? «The secret of this program is also in the friendship that exists between us. When you have a talent to defend, it’s normal to have a few moments where the tone is raised but everything remains there.” Gabbani speaks of spontaneity “as if we were at the table with friends”. Paola Iezzi echoes him: «remember that we are on televisionso when the discussions get heated perception is amplified».Regarding the poor sales success of talents coming from X Factor, Jake defended the young competitors like a panzer.
«There is only one unreleased (that of EroCaddeo, ed.) among Spotify’s Top 50? Everyone knows there’s a bit of theft there. These are complex discographic dynamics and industrial, promotion games. Numbers aren’t everything».Finally, some good news: winning team can’t be changed! In all likelihood, the 4 judges and the presenter will remain in their places also in the next edition.
