Friends 23: Lil Jolie, Holden and the inability to handle the tension

Not everyone is made to handle the pressure that competition brings with it. This applies to school marathons but also to evening marathons Friends which, during its first episode, showed insecurities and fragilities of a student who has demonstrated from the beginning of her career within the school that she has great difficulty managing anxiety. Let's talk about Lil Joliea singer with great potential who, however, ad Friends has often given the impression of not being structured enough to take the program for what it is, i.e an adventure to be enjoyed and not an exam to be passed at all costs – not to mention that ad Friends there were many singers who did not win the program and, once out, managed to build a brilliant career, a bit like Elodie -. Lil Jolie gave it her all but, at a certain point in the competition, when she was elected provisional eliminated, she collapsed.

TO Maria De Filippi he said of not being able to breatheprobably because in the grip of a panic attack consumed in front of the cameras. The landlady tried to reassure her and help her in all possible ways and, little by little, the situation improved to the point of leading Lil Jolie to continue her journey to Friends with all due respect to the dancer Kumo, who demonstrated great professionalism from start to finish. Regardless of the result, one wonders: how right it is that a person with obvious problems managing panic gets involved in such a large and complex machine as Friends?

The question does not come by chance, especially if we consider that also Holdenshortly before the evening, he panicked and expressed his discomfort to the professor Rudy Zerbi, who also received a rather rude response when he asked the boy why he had deserted the rehearsals in view of the evening. The thought, then, immediately goes to a singer who came out of Friends who, by his own admission, had to stop to find himself, that is Saint John. It is right to try to chase a dream, however difficult and full of obstacles, and it is right to take into account that a panic attack and growing anxiety linked to one's young age and the weight of the journey could appear at any moment. If, however, we talk about particularly sensitive people like Lil Jolie and of a terror that is no longer a passing cloud but something disabling, perhaps it would be appropriate to ask ourselves whether this massive exposure guaranteed by Friends and, probably in the future, by a record label are the right way to go.
