On Saturday, April 19, 2025, the fifth episode of the 24th edition of the popular talent show 'Amici' aired on Canale 5, hosted by Maria De Filippi. This week’s episode was particularly intense as it featured a double elimination, marking a significant turning point in the competition.
As the show progressed, the atmosphere was charged with excitement and tension. The night began with the customary performances from the contestants, who were eager to showcase their talents in front of a live audience and a panel of esteemed judges. The jury for this season consists of Amadeus, Cristiano Malgioglio, and Elena D'Amario, who have been tasked with evaluating the performances and determining the fate of the contestants.
This week, the musical guest was Giordana Angi, a familiar face to fans of the show, who returned to perform her latest single 'Strade'. Released just a day prior on April 18, 2025, Angi's song added a vibrant touch to the evening, captivating both the audience and the contestants alike.
Throughout the episode, the competition was fierce. Ten talented individuals remained in the running, divided into three teams: the singers Antonia, Jacopo Sol, Nicolò, Senza Cri, and Trigno; and the dancers Alessia, Chiara, Daniele, Francesca, and Francesco. As the night unfolded, the first round of performances saw the teams of Zerbi-Celentano and Pettinelli-Lettieri go head-to-head. Unfortunately for the Pettinelli-Lettieri team, they faced defeat, leading all their members to be placed in a provisional ballot.
In a dramatic twist, Nicolò was the first contestant to be saved from elimination, while Francesca was announced as the first to be eliminated from the competition. Her departure was met with emotional farewells, as she expressed her gratitude for the opportunity and revealed that she had received job offers from the Budapest Dance Theatre and Artmis Danza in Italy.
The second round of the competition saw the Zerbi-Celentano team face off against the remaining contestants. Trigno found himself at risk of elimination alongside Senza Cri, creating a nail-biting atmosphere as the contestants awaited their fate.
As the episode reached its climax, the tension escalated. After a series of performances, it was revealed that Senza Cri would be the second contestant eliminated that night. The emotional rollercoaster left both the contestants and the audience in disbelief, as two promising talents exited the competition.
Giordana Angi's performance was a highlight of the night, bringing a sense of nostalgia for fans who remembered her journey on the show. Angi had previously finished second in the 18th edition of 'Amici', and her return was a moment of celebration, showcasing her growth as an artist.
As the episode concluded, the remaining contestants reflected on their experiences and the challenges they faced. The double elimination not only reshaped the competition but also highlighted the emotional stakes involved in pursuing their dreams. With the finale approaching, the tension is expected to rise as the contestants continue to battle for a coveted spot in the final rounds.
The fifth episode of 'Amici' not only entertained but also served as a reminder of the dedication and passion required to succeed in the competitive world of performing arts. As viewers eagerly await the next episode, the question remains: who will rise to the occasion and who will face the harsh reality of elimination next?
