### X Factor 2023: First Live Show and First Elimination
The 2023 edition of X Factor kicked off with energy and surprises with its first live show. The evening saw the elimination of Dimensione Brama, part of Paola Iezzi's team. Despite their commitment and talent, they received the least votes in the first round and had to face Pablo Murphy, also part of the Iezzi team, in the runoff, who received the fewest votes in the second round.
The progression to the next round sees Les Votives, Lorenzo Salvetti, and I Patagarri representing the Achille Lauro team. The Manuel Agnelli team will continue with Danielle, Mimì, and Puncake. The Foolz, Francamente, and El Ma advance from the Jake La Furia team, while Lowrah and Pablo Murphy remain in the race in the Paola Iezzi team.
### An impressive opening with Giorgia
The evening was opened in grand style by Giorgia who, for her first experience as a host, showed off a rockstar look, with a fringed dress and high black boots. Her performance immediately struck the audience with a mashup of the famous 'Born This Way' and 'Please Don't Stop The Music'. Giorgia, excited but enthusiastic, expressed gratitude for the "magnificent traveling companions" alongside her on this adventure.
Paola Iezzi also made her live debut with an aggressive and mysterious style, completed by a tissue over her eyes and a whip, adding a pinch of irony to her presence, stating: "If they act bad, I'll put them in their place".
### Ghali sets the stage alight as a special guest
The evening was further electrified by the presence of Ghali as a special guest. The famous singer brought his energy with the new single 'Niente Panico', along with the hits 'Paprika' and 'Casa Mia'. The appearance on X Factor shortly precedes his return to the Unipol Forum in Milan, where he will perform in three already sold out dates on October 28 and 29 and November 15. This is just a taste of his 'Ghali- Live 2024' tour, which will touch the main arenas in Italy, including Vigevano, Florence, Rome, Bologna, and Naples.
