On May 1, 2025, the seventh episode of the evening talent show Amici 24 was recorded, featuring two significant eliminations that stirred emotions among contestants and fans alike. The episode, hosted by Maria De Filippi, aired on Saturday, May 3, 2025, and was marked by intense performances and tough decisions from the judging panel, which included Amadeus, Cristiano Malgioglio, and Elena D'Amario.
The evening began with the long-awaited verdict from the previous week's voting, where Chiara Bacci found herself in a precarious position after being in the ballotage against her boyfriend, TrigNO. The tension escalated as Malgioglio, who had previously refrained from voting, ultimately made the decisive call, leading to Chiara's elimination. "Thank you for everything, for the beautiful opportunity, for having welcomed me, and thanks to all the teachers for the teachings I will carry with me forever," Chiara expressed, showcasing her gratitude despite the outcome.
Despite her exit from the show, Chiara left with her head held high. Not only did she receive a scholarship from Desmond Richardson of Complexions Contemporary Ballets in New York, but she also garnered two job offers—one in Beijing as a soloist and another from Francesco Annarumma, an international choreographer. Furthermore, De Filippi extended an invitation for Chiara to return to Amici in September 2025 as a professional dancer, underscoring the positive trajectory of her career despite the setback.
The episode also featured a competitive atmosphere, as the contestants were divided into two teams and faced off in various challenges. The first round saw Jacopo Sol and Antonia triumph over TrigNO in a duet of "Shallow". Following this, Francesco won against Daniele with "Les Burjoise", while Nicolò secured victory against Jacopo Sol. As the competition heated up, Jacopo Sol, Antonia, and Daniele found themselves in the ballotage, with Antonia being the first to be saved.
In the second round, the team led by Zerbi and Celentano managed to claim victory, with a notable performance from Alessia, who was later sent to the final ballotage alongside Jacopo Sol and Francesco. The judges had their work cut out as they deliberated on who would continue in the competition.
As the night progressed, tensions rose with the introduction of various challenges, including a guanto di sfida (challenge glove) between Alessia and Francesco, which was ultimately deemed unfair. The competition continued with performances from TrigNO and Nicolò, who faced off against Alessia in a duet that showcased their talents. TrigNO's performance of "Maledetta Milano" was a highlight, earning him praise from the judges.
In a dramatic turn of events, Jacopo Sol found himself facing elimination after a series of performances that showcased his vocal abilities. He performed "Cercavo amore" by Emma, while Alessia presented a choreography set to "NUEVAYoL" by Bad Bunny. Ultimately, the judges decided to save Francesco, leaving Jacopo Sol and Alessia in a tense standoff for the final ballotage.
As the final decisions loomed, the emotional weight of the evening was palpable. Jacopo Sol expressed his feelings, stating, "I feel I have done something beautiful," reflecting on the journey he had taken through the competition. The night concluded with the announcement of Jacopo Sol's elimination, leaving fans and fellow contestants in shock.
Overall, the seventh episode of Amici 24 was a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with heartfelt performances, tough decisions, and the promise of new beginnings for eliminated contestants. As the competition continues, viewers are left wondering who will rise to the top and what opportunities await those who have left the stage.
