Manuel Agnelli X Factor 2025No thank you.
The singer leaves X Factorsays enough. After six editions (not consecutive) by judge and a victory with Mimì Last year, the leader of Afterhours he decided not to return for the next season X Factor 2025. He does it with clear words and without half measures:
“There are those who would have done Turkish things for the figure that Sky offered me, but I said no“.
To weigh, he explains, was the amount of commitments: “I could no longer live my life. Redo the talent in the middle of the lazarus theater tour by David Bowie and that of the afterhours would have been exhausting“.
A personal choice, but also political. Because Agnelli does not spare criticism of a record system that he considers in deep crisis:
“For twenty years now, music in Italy has been shit. Today the industry wants very low costs, the boys self -pay: a misfortune. On the first disc you do San Siro, then if you no longer work, you finish by the psychiatrist in a year“.

While recognizing how much X Factor He gave him – “Visibility, economic stability, the possibility of opening a place, to cure the fresco flesh review, sounds from the future” – Lambs claims its integrity:
“He taught me to stay on TV remaining myself, with all my defects. I was struggling to stay in the middle of people, I hated compromises. I didn't think I could become a character. Once I even led one of the audience: he had pulled me a chewing-gum“.
On the talent does not spit in the plate in which he ate: “It is a monstrous show, on a productive level. But now enough. That program gave me the opportunity to tell me that there is another way of living music“.
Then he sinks the blow to the contemporary scene:
“Many rappers tell a suburbs that has taken the spaces: all bullshit. I made the money, and more than many Urban Minchioni and influencers. Because I broke my balls for 40 years and I keep doing it“.
A farewell that is also a complaint. “We are experiencing one of the worst musical periods of the last twenty years. In the standings dominates the dung. The talented young people are there, but you have to give them space. Labels must have more courage and stop being slaves to numbers“.
To take his place a X Factor 2025 will be Francesco Gabbani. It will not be easy to collect the legacy of a judge who has divided, but never watered down the thought.
