Le sparks fly in the world of Italian entertainment, and this time it's the turn of "23 friends“, the popular talent show of Mediaset, end up in the spotlight. But we're not talking about breathtaking performances or dazzling dances. The protagonist of the scene is Firstborn, a young singer who, after being cut from castings, decided to make his voice heard in a rather unusual way.
Who is Primogenito, the famous singer on TikTok
Moving on from TikTok virtual stage to every Italian's living room, Primogenito is not exactly a debutant in the world of music. With a solid social media presence, has carved out his own corner between viral clips and digital performances. Evidently, the boy had his sights set on the "Amici 23" stage, hoping that his talent could shine even more.
Known on TikTok with the username @sonoprimogenito, Primogenito has 54 thousand followers, a large number but not huge considering how TikTok works, where it is relatively simple to reach 100, 200 thousand followers.
In fact, the only Primogenito video that has exceeded one million views is precisely the one in the complaint, the previous ones, with rare exceptions, they do not exceed 40.000 views.
Primogenito's controversy over his exclusion from Amici
Not everything proceeds according to a script and, unfortunately for him, Primogenito was shown the door. Not demoralized, he decided to express his dissent through the language he knows best: music. With a piece of direct criticism published on his TikTok profile, the singer explained his point of view: according to him, “Friends it is not the breeding ground for talent that is sold to the public.”
Maria De Filippi's response "It doesn't work as you think"
Although Maria DeFilippi did not respond directly to the controversy, the leitmotif of the talent show seems perfectly summed up by one of the sentences from the Primogenito song:
"It doesn't work as you think".

A sign of how much the program has becometelevision institution, but also a warning about how “Friends” can be a minefield of expectations that are not always satisfied, beyond the notoriety on social networks.
When Amici 23 is broadcast
Despite the controversies, “Amici 23” continues on its television journey. The program is broadcast every Sunday afternoon on Canale 5, from approximately 14pm to 00pm. An event not to be missed, strategically positioned after "Uomini e Donne" and before the soap opera "La Promessa".
