Gaia
Dancing on "Let's start from the end“, Gaia was able to drag the audience into a whirlwind of emotions. A performance that spoke directly to her heart.
Chiara and Dustin
Dustin, with “sweet dreams“, he made the big shot with a full eight. Chiara, however, had to digest some criticism after her performance on "Halo“, finding himself having to refine some details of his technique.
Simone
