X Factor 2025: the winner is Rob. Who is he, why did he win
Roberta “Rob” Scandurra is the winner of X Factor 2025. Born in Catania in 2005, she immediately stood out for her passion for rock and punk, filed by a pop touch young and feisty like that of Avril Lavigne. A great bet won by his pygmalion Paola Iezziwho had initially preferred the more colorless Mayu, who left the scene at the third Live.

X Factor 2025 Final, the report cards of the competitors
Rob, Paola Iezzi team: vote 8
For the heat My song the feisty Rob, dressed like a Japanese warriorhe sang with rock energy Empty city of Mina. A more contemporary version, far from the original but quite successful. With the trio A small emotion by Anna Oxa, Bring Me To Life by Evanescence and I hear you of Matia Bazar, he mesmerized the audience.
The same charge it also arrived with his unreleased song, One hundred girls. A pop and punk rhythm that, for Paola Iezzi, it will follow the highly successful path of Måneskin. Achille Lauro found it crazy. For Gabbani it is, as usual, “a lot of Rob”. Jake: «she’s no longer an underdog but a…dog!». She is the winner of X Factor 2025!
PierC, team Francesco Gabbani: vote 9
The “Gabba Boy” PierC in the first heat he sang the romantic Shallow, song performed by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper for the film A Star is born. He proved, once again, that he has a voice and an intonation out of the ordinary. He can do great things if Alone he will meet authors suited to his musical nature.
During the moment dedicated to Best of has proposed a trio of great impact: I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith, Locked Out of Heaven by Bruno Mars And Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. As Jake pointed out, this time he literally ate up the stage. An effervescent performance that amazed everyone and Naples has literally been “Pierced”. For the web audience, he is the true international guest, other than Derulo.
Even the most feared momentthat of the unpublished, it didn’t put a dent in his golden evening. Although it is the weakest and older original compared to the others, PierC he managed to turn it into a hit. Miracle of Live! His fourth place was greeted by the audience with loud boos.

EroCaddeo, Achille Lauro team: rating 7
The most Sanremo talent of this edition was the first of the competitors to christen the stage of the final with Emotion has no voice by Adriano Celentano. A very romantic song that EroCaddeo has loved and sung since he was a child. Despite the good performance, unfortunately the emotion did not arrive.
In the second heat, Achille Lauro ironically apologized to his pupil for stylistically transforming him into his clone. Then he presented the covers: …And I think of you by Lucio Battisti; Black evenings by Tiziano Ferro e The cure by Franco Battiato. EroCaddeo is good and has many fans but he performed them as if they were a single, monotonous song.
The real coup for EroCaddeo is in the third heat. His unpublished Point it is, without a doubt, the most original and expendable compared to those of other competitors. The proof? During execution, the Naples audience sang it along with him. A deserved second place.

Delia, team Jake La Furia: vote 9
In the first heatthe talented Sicilian wanted to pay homage to the Neapolitan public with Cu’mm! by Roberto Murolo and Mia Martini. A flawless execution in which she managed to tame the dramatic excesses, Delia’s stylistic signature. For the Best of, the medley Sakura of Rosalia, Mr. Lieutenant/Burn the earth (Giorgio Faletti, Nino Rota and Kaballà) and, above all You are very beautiful by Loredana Bertè, got the whole audience singing.
Achille Lauro: «You have a monumental voice, you have something inside, you have an earthquake in your soul». Jake: «You have access to some cock in me. Thank you for meeting you». What more can I say?
Arrived the moment of the unpublished, his popular ballad Sicily Bedda was transformed on stage into a song with an international feel. A nice surprise for a song always considered too niche. Yet, Delia came in third place. Sin.

The final: Laura Pausini, Jason Derulo and the judges’ report cards
The 4 finalists were not intimidated from stage fright and they gave to the public Of Naples a real concert for seasoned professionals. Neither the performances of Laura Pausini and Jason Derulo outshone them. The singer from Romagna presented Back to love: the song anticipates the covers album I Sing 2 and the 2026 tour of the same name.
The look of the judges was the show within the show. Paola Iezzi (vote 8 for the sensitivity towards his talents and the choice of their songs) transformed into Cat Woman. Jake La Furia (rated 8 for the unsettling irony and for indulging Delia) barded with hat, glasses and fur trim as a pimp of New York in the 1980s.
Achille Lauro, dressed in white (rating 7 as a motivator of his protégés, 5 for the choice of songs frankly from antiques). Francesco Gabbani, however, in sober blue, deserves a seven for musical proficiency and sincere enthusiasm for his boys. Finally Giorgiathe presenter with a beautiful soul who borders on perfection: vote 10.
