The talent competition ‘Amici di Maria De Filippi’ is a real talent pool. Antonino, Marco Carta, Alessandra Amoroso, Emma Marrone, Virginio Simonelli, Sergio Sylvestre, The Kolors, Irama, Gaia Gozzi, Giulia Stabile, Luigi Strangis and Mattia Zenzola: these are just some of the artists who have achieved success thanks to most famous television school. But it’s not always necessary to win on ‘Friends’: many artists have achieved success even without winning the title. For example, Angelina Mango, during the 2022-2023 season, ranked second after dancer Mattia Zenzola. The young Lucanian singer-songwriter demonstrated that talent and passion can lead to extraordinary results, such as winning the 74th edition of the Sanremo Festival. And the song ‘La noia’ also made the Eurovision audience dance, present in Malmö in Sweden, where Angelina placed seventh. And the singer will also be the super guest of tomorrow’s final, in prime time on Canale 5.
But before Angelina Mango, other artists also began successful careers, going well beyond talent, without having conquered the scepter. Among these there are also Annalisa who made her debut on Amici in 2011, where she won over the public and critics. Last year alone, the songs “Bellissima”, “Mon Amour” and “Sincerely” crowned her queen of hits and she was the first Italian to enter the Top 100 Billboard Global, the ranking of the music magazine making authority. And in recent days, the singer has made her dream come true: to perform at the Verona Arena. Elodie’s career is also dotted with successes. The Roman singer took part in the talent competition in 2015 and came second behind Sergio Sylvestre. Since then, Elodie has consolidated her career in Italian pop and has participated on several occasions in Sanremo where in 2021 she also held the role of co-host.
Sangiovanni, however, participated in the 2020 edition and came second behind Giulia Stabile. Her songs released during the talent show immediately became hits. “Lady”, “Tutta la notte” and “Hype” topped the Italian charts and “Malibu”, in 2021, was the most listened to song in Italy. In 2022, he participates in Sanremo where he returns again this year with the song “Finiscimi”. At the end of the Festival, the singer-songwriter announced his intention to take a break. In short, winners or not, “Amici” continues to launch talents into the world of music and entertainment.
