Amici 26 launched its latest television season with an immediate disciplinary dispute involving a newly appointed instructor and a competing student, dilei.it reported. The talent show, broadcast under the direction of television personality Maria De Filippi, addressed questions surrounding the originality of a student’s submission during a daytime broadcast on October 19.
Samurai Jay Confronts Erness Over Song Similarity
The controversy centers on contestant Erness and singer Samurai Jay, a new addition to the coaching faculty for the current season. Samurai Jay summoned the student to a rehearsal studio to challenge the origins of “Colpa mia,” the track the contestant used to secure his placement in the school. The instructor played the student’s track overlaid with a Spanish urban composition released five years prior, demonstrating identical key signatures, beats per minute, and harmonic progressions.
“Non è un inedito,” Samurai Jay stated during the session, noting that the composition matched an existing foreign release in its technical parameters. “Stessa tonalità, stesso bpm, stesso giro armonico. Se la portavi come cover ci stava. Ma come inedito è un problema.” The instructor emphasized that the song yielded a distinct competitive advantage in the admissions process, leaving other applicants without a spot. “Anche perché hai avuto il banco, altri no,” he added.
Despite the violation, the instructor permitted the student to remain in the competition after reducing the disputed work to nullity. “Questa opportunità è una benedizione,” Samurai Jay told the visibly distressed contestant, who shed tears during the confrontation. “Credo che tu possa farlo e hai dei brani fighi, ma questo inedito dobbiamo fare come se non fosse mai esistito. Siamo a scuola, ci sono delle regole. Non deve capitare mai più, se no ci pigliamm collera.” Further infractions of this nature will place the student’s enrollment at risk.
Alessandra Celentano Sets Strict Rules for Dancers
Faculty member Alessandra Celentano established rigorous performance standards for student dancers Benedetta and Anna following the singing dispute. The instructor addressed the participants regarding behavioral expectations within the academy. “Mi aspetto da voi molta dedizione, rigore, disciplina e soprattutto io non sono una mamma,” Celentano said. “Se vi aspettate la carezza o l’abbraccio dopo il piantarello non fa parte del mio modo di essere. Dovete rigare dritto e siete le prime a dimostrare che vi meritate questo banco.”
