Pippo Baudo to “Amici 20”: this is what he will do (from an idea by Maria De Filippi)

Three years after the conduct of Sanremo Giovani with Fabio Rovazzi and two years after the celebration of his 83rd birthday in an evening-event on Raiuno, Pippo Baudo returns in prime time in a completely new role. To want it is Maria De Filippi, who has chosen to recruit him at the evening of the twentieth edition of Friends with the task of assigning the Tim Prize, main sponsor of the program, to the singer and dancer he deems most deserving within the school. The prize, which consists of 5 thousand euros, will, in fact, be awarded to the two winners of the singing category and the dance category decided by Baudo, a well-known discoverer of talents (including Lorella Cuccarini, who sits behind the teacher’s desk), starting from the daytime on air from 25 March.

In the daily Thursday episode Baudo did not appear directly, but it is conceivable that, during the evening of Friends, may appear either live or in connection at least for the announcement of the winners. The boys, for their part, did not hide the enthusiasm in front of the possibility of performing in front of such an important character, considering it a real “honor”. Raffaele, who has already had the opportunity to meet Baudo a Sanremo Young, defined him as a very humble and easygoing person, while Leonardo’s sentence about the fact that “Pippo Baudo is on TV as God is in the world” it immediately went viral on the Net and also ended up among the Twitter trends.

Regarding the Tim Prize itself, several students, such as Deddy, Rosa and Serena, explained that, if they win, they will give the prize money to their family, confirming the strong bond that binds them to their loved ones, far from the wasting away with the arrival of success. After the elimination of Esa and Gaia, the evening of Friends goes on with 15 competitors (8 singers and 7 dancers) divided into three teams led by as many pairs of professors (Rudy Zerbi and Alessandra Celentano; Arisa and Lorella Cuccarini and Anna Pettinelli and Veronica Peparini). The jury continues to be composed of Stefano De Martino, Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia and Stash.
