X Factor 2021: Baltimore wins (surprisingly)

A little ‘we expected that with that Audition so delicate and so disruptive it would have made its way but, aware of how difficult and unpredictable the path within a television program is, we were not so sure that it would win. And, instead, the public immediately recognized his talent, crowning Baltimore winner of the fifteenth edition of X Factor, the edition of the rebirth, the one that returned to the Assago Forum to the final after the stop imposed by the pandemic in 2020. Through a growth path that led him to mature and refine his art, Baltimore, stage name of Edoardo Spinsante, he managed to convince the most skeptical by beating gIANMARIA, given as favorite, in the final match.

In the middle, the judges Emma, ​​Mika, Hell Raton and Manuel Agnelli worked hard to best support their boys who, together with the electricity of the Assago Forum, managed to face three heats: that of duets with their own coach, that of Best Of and that of the final match between two.

“Baltimore came here shy and unnoticed. We worked hard to get him out of that room where we all went. Seeing you here today, after all the work we’ve done, makes me and my team proud of you. The time has come to fly “, were the words chosen by Manuelito to support his talent shortly before the final heat, which came after the duet on the notes of Otherside, the medley of A man who loves you, from Butter words and of Turning Table and, finally, his unpublished works Other e Baltimore.
