X Factor, the Maneskin ignite the final

The Maneskins ignite the final evening of X Factor 2021. Flames, riff shots and drums. And then Damiamo’s voice breaking the silence. On the stage of the Forum of Assago the band knows and the party explodes. The Italian Fab Four, swathed in cream-colored Gucci dresses and veterans of global success, return to X Factor as a superstar, where it all began. This time, however, as super-guests of the grand final, which will see the four finalists Baltimore, Bengala Fire, Fellow and gIANMARIA compete for the challenge. And Damiano, Victoria, Ethan and Thomas feel immediately at home, welcomed by the warmth of the public, 5,700 people back live, after a year of hiatus due to the pandemic. Damiano & Co don’t have time to get on stage when the audience explodes on the notes of ‘Begging’. And it’s a bit like going back to basics tonight. With their raw, energetic and distorted sound, the four parties to the conquest of America snatch applause from the crowd gathered at the Assago Forum, super-guests of the X Factor 2021 final together with Coldplay, expected during the evening. For Baltimore, Bengala Fire, Fellow and gIANMARIA, tonight the Maneskins are the model to follow, they, who with their talent have climbed the global rankings. Just four years ago the Roman band went up for the first time on the stage of the Sky talent for an audition. At the time of the judges there were Manuel Agnelli, among the number one fans, Levante, Mara Maionchi and Fedez. And it was that stage that guaranteed them the success achieved with riffs and rock n’roll: after winning the Sanremo festival in 2021 with ‘Zitti e buona, the four triumphed at Eurovision in Rotterdam, and in a few weeks they were followed by gold and platinum records in over 15 countries around the world. The coronation two months ago: first at Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show and then at the Ellen DeGeneres Show. And in Las Vegas when they opened the Rolling Stones concert, also obtaining the ‘Best Rock’ award at the MTV Emas 2021, the first victory of an Italian artist in an international category, as well as a nomination for the American Music Awards 2021 as’ Favorite Trending Song ‘with the song’ Beggin ”. What to add? A year of successes, 6 diamond discs, 133 platinum and 34 gold speak for themselves. What is certain is that from the roof of the world to the return home, Damiano & co are the demonstration that talent pays and among the 4 finalists tonight it is safe to bet that there are those who will do everything to follow in their footsteps.
