AMICI 24, RUDY ZERBI TO DIEGO LAZZARI: “TAKE IN CONSIDERATION THE IDEA OF CHANGE JOBS”
Gathered in the room, the boys think they are watching possible challengers on TV Luk3competing in the episode of Il Quotidiano on Sunday 17 November. Shortly afterwards they discover that this is not actually the case: Rudy Zerbi connects with singers to talk with Diego to reveal to him that the challengers will concern him. This is because Zerbi decides that his favorite among them will enter in place of Diegowhich he is considering replacing.
Zerbi underlines right away: «Unlike my other colleagues, I take the tools we are given into great consideration and I want to talk specifically about this ranking, where I asked you to vote for the most talented among you. I did it because I believe that you know each other very well, certainly even more than many professionals who come to see you and therefore for me this fact matters a lot, as do others, but it matters a lot”
Continues: «And there's one thing Diego I want to tell you that I don't like it at all. Meanwhile, you say that we are pitting you against each other, ruining the spirit of colleagues, friends and housemates that exists between you, as if it were mean to ask for a ranking. I don't like it because it's absolutely not like that and I also want to tell you Diego – because this is an argument that has continued to be there from the beginning with you – that you don't like this thing that you classify, you don't like it…”
«In my opinion you need to consider the possibility of changing profession because every day, those who do your job – what you would like to do – have rankings. There are charts on Spotify, there are charts in record sales, there are daily, weekly, monthly and yearly charts. So if the rankings irritate you, either be irritated for life or consider changing professions»
Diegowith a bitter smile mixed with mockery, only responds “Okay, I'll consider changing professions.”
Zerbi but he replies: «I don't find much to laugh about Diegobut I don't find much to laugh about at all. One, on the fact that you had zero votes, and the moment you take this position… And two, enough with this fake moral rhetoric of do-goodism which frankly is tiring because there is no way in the world that you think I want to pit you against someone else . I want to have elements and data and you must take this data into consideration.”
After these words, ad Friends 24 a heated debate begins between Rudy Zerbi And Diego Lazzari. The latter emphasizes the fact that he won't change his thoughts because it's the way he goes through life and he's gotten this far, so he won't stop thinking it. Zerbi at this point he provokes it: «So when one of your albums comes out, whether it's last in the charts or first, you absolutely don't care about it?». Diego he replies that he doesn't care. AND Zerbi rages: «Diego change jobs».
Diego continues: «No, thanks, I don't agree with you».
Zerbi he then asks him to explain what he doesn't agree with him about. AND Diego he explains that he doesn't agree with him on the fact that an artist cannot live and make music without thinking about the charts, also because there are a lot of artists who do it.
Diego he explains that his primary goal with music is not the charts but to make the people who listen to him feel good, which is why he joined Amici. Zerbi he answers him “It is a speech, I repeat, on the edge of hypocrisy and I don't like these words as a good Samaritan.” He concludes by reiterating the fact that he will choose one of those girls among the challengers and will make his own decision on replacing her Diego.
Diego he immediately responds with conviction: “I don't want to stay in a place where they think like that, at this point I'll just leave”getting up and going to the room. Pointing the camera, then, continues to refer to Zerbi telling him: “If that's what you like for you, it disgusts me.”
FRIENDS 24, DIEGO LAZZARI LEAVES SCHOOL AFTER THE DISCUSSION WITH RUDY ZERBI?
Taking refuge in the studio, Diego continues to reflect on what he argued with Zerbithinking that it would have been more coherent on his part to immediately kick him out of the School and not start this whole debate.
Back in the house, he continues to vent with his colleagues and continues to express his desire to leave the School of Friends. After a phone call with the production, the necessary documents to abandon the program arrive at the house.
The phrase that Diego he continually repeats, after taking the papers, “They're doing everything.” The production intervenes, underlining the falsity of the words of Diego and the fact that no one keeps him in chains Friends 24.
After discussion with production, Diego he makes a phone call and immediately asks to speak to his professor again Rudy Zerbi.
Diego he asks him, almost heartbroken, why he wants to replace him despite his teacher having chosen him and despite his improvements.
Rudy Zerbi immediately sets the record straight with the student: “At that time Diegolet's start from a point that I want to make clear: we do castings every week, we see new people every week. So the fact that I can see someone who I consider interesting and worthy of entering is something that can happen, it is our duty, our task is to give space to talent and I told you and I repeat that for those who are the tools which are offered to me by a whole series of indications – the rankings that saw you at the bottom more than once, what came out of the judgments of your classmates who saw you with zero votes. A whole series of data that is given to you incontrovertible”
And he concludes: «If at this moment I have to think about replacing someone with someone who I think is right for that position, if I think about Vybesif I think about Ilanif I think about Call me lighthouse and I think of you, the one I feel like considering as a possible replacement is you.”
Diego reiterates that for him, Zerbi he underlines certain data which are not, however, the reason why he makes music, given that among other things he only came last in the rankings made among the students. And he asks him: “Do you think I don't have the talent to be here?”
Zerbi reply: «I tell you that it's not just the ranking of your teammates» and gives him the example of the ranking of Anna Pettinelli in which it placed him second to last and other rankings in which he was low.
He resumes his speech: «For me, people's opinion, the rankings, the data that arrive are fundamental because I believe that this work must be done with and for the people and that the data that arrives is very, very important. Mind you, I don't think that an artist is just an artist if he sells a lot, if he's first, I don't think that. But I think those tools are very, very important.”
«And I repeat, I have seen some people I like, I want in my team – but above all in the School of Friends – there are the best talents that can be found around and therefore I have to consider the possibility of replacing someone. At this moment I consider you”.
What Diego Lazzari asks Rudy Zerbi ultimately it's about giving him time to show him how capable he is of being one of those artists who can stay at the top of the charts and climb them. His teacher takes his words into consideration, but remains firm on his decisions.
