The Quattro Mori flag flies at the X Factor Arena for eroCaddeo , who also takes home the second episode of the Sky talent show with a timeless song, Sere Nere by Tiziano Ferro.
Damiano Caddeo, 27, from Sinnai, does it with the confidence of a seasoned singer, who masters the stage, his voice, and his emotions. "It scares me, I'm afraid I don't feel it enough," he vented to his judge Achille Lauro, who chose the cover . Instead, in all-black, he "Caddeoized" it with great talent, dodging imitations and thus inevitable comparisons. And for Lauro, it's no surprise, "because even before technique, there's feeling."
For "Damy," the journey continues, a gradual realization of his innate abilities that make him stand out on screen. Francesco Gabbani's eyes are red at the end of the performance: "I'm trying to find some criticism, but I can't." Jake La Furia also has no complaints: "It was a risky and technically difficult piece, but you have the ability." Paola Iezzi gushes: "I love everything."
"I'm getting thousands of messages about this guy," Achille Lauro confesses. "Lots of suitors wanting to snatch him up, but you—he jokes—don't get engaged while you're here. Keep suffering because we need your songs." It's no secret that Damiano's heart beats for someone: "Girlfriend, ex, who knows, we're working on it." What matters is that "in my life and in my music, love is fundamental."
