DI MARIA DE FILIPPI:
Amici di Maria De Filippi or simply Friends, is a talent show of Channel 5 aired from 2001 (first edition Italy 1) and is currently now in its ninth edition, hosted by Maria De Filippi . All week airs recorded the daily strip, which shows the most important moments of the day. On Sunday afternoon (Saturday afternoon until the seventh edition) is live on television, led by De Filippi. Initially called Fame (the name was changed during the second series on issues related to copyright of homonymous TV series), this reality is a school that participates in a class of about 20 pupils, especially choice, with between 18 and 25 who aspire to become singers, dancers of Jazz, Hip Hop and ballet or actors (only the first edition, musicians and presenters, also only the sixth gymnast ). Competitors follow year-round classes in various subjects with their teachers. Are taken from the cameras during the year and staying in a hotel .
The program is divided into two phases: the initial phase, from September to January, in which the artistic skills of aspiring professionals are improved and judged exclusively by teachers of their subject, and the final phase, from February to April, in which the progress of the finalists is totally entrusted to phones and mobiles.
Although the program is immediately established itself as a breeding ground for new talent, in the course of several years has taken hold more or less clearly a trend toward a spectacle: the division of students into teams rivaling the deployment of teachers for one or 'Another participant (losing much professionalism from the beginning that had characterized them), provocations during the week and recorded a comeback in the final show, etc.. have burdened the fresh character of the first editions. Several criticisms have been made by some journalists invited to the studio, but were promptly put to rest on the ability of the presenter rhetoric, Maria De Filippi, which would seem to confirm the desire to make a real program originally a mere commercial product.
in European television networks circulates a program whose original format, Pop Idol, was created in the United Kingdom (ITV1 ) for the 2001 television season / 2002. It was later exported to other countries: United States ( American Idol ) France (Nouvelle Star), Germany (Deutschland Sucht den Superstar, also led by Michelle Hunziker ), and in other countries such as Russia, Serbia, Kazakhstan . Unlike the corresponding European Broadcasting, which focuses on the artistic evolution of the singers, Amici di Maria De Filippi is characterized by increasingly multidisciplinary, ranging also in dance and acting. It should be recognized that, unlike Pop Idol or Star Academy (similar format), the cameras do not fully invade the lives of aspiring dancers, singers and actors, but only in their school life. In addition, Friends as hard as a real school year from September to May. The fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth, however, lasted less: and the fourth ended in April 2005, the fifth in March 2006, March 2007 in the sixth, seventh and eighth in April 2008 to March 2009.
VIDEO IS IN 2 STAGES:
FIRST STEP:
The first phase lasts from the beginning of school until late January / early February. The school rules change from year to year: for example in the sixth edition (2006 - 2007) the class was not immediately made twenty-six students hold as in previous years but only considered worthy of sixteen children, identified by the Committee inside. Always a novelty in this edition is the last in the standings according to the televoting expressed by the public. In fact, he does not go in and do not challenge faces a test on all subjects as did students of the previous editions, while the first is not always sfidabile provided you comply with the rules of the school: a possible major defection may change the game mechanics, making the student liable to challenge . Also from
sixth year, the day of direct, on Saturday afternoon, the boys divided into two teams (Gamma and Delta in the sixth edition, the Sun and Moon in the 7th) they perform and are evaluated by teachers. The winning team is insfidabile. One or more members of the losing team will face the challenge with an external element on Saturday. This will also give the opportunity to kids who were rejected at the selection of test to enter the school. Both challengers are preparing for three different tests and a Commissioner outside, after three performances of each, determine who deserves to stay in school. Another novelty is the assignment of the sixth edition of "stars", that merit, following successful trials by the students. Among them is the time trial on Wednesday, for which children must learn in just two hours a dance, a song or a song played and then perform in front of the committee and to the class.
All week opened a televoting through which the public can choose their favorite pupil. The voting public entitlement to the assignment of share of stars. This mechanism is repeated in September (starting month of the school) until late January / early February, when we enter the final phase of a view. Some students requiring special or loved by the public will enter the final phase of the barrier without passing an examination.
or
FINAL EVENING:
When finished the initial phase, all students are faced with an examination of the barrier to enter the final phase, and those who do not pass are expelled from school. In the seventh edition rather spend the final phase, the so-called "evening", the first 14 students of the rating charts. He is immune from the trial of the classification rating of those who pass the exam in their subject and then winning t-shirt that gives direct access to the "evening". For each discipline is available to only one shirt. The challengers are no longer allowed outside, but each episode, through the mechanism of remote voting, two competitors will compete in tests of singing, dancing and / or acting. It is no longer a commissioner to judge external challenges, but the only audience at home. With this mechanism, the students are progressively eliminated, until the last episode, in which only a few students vie for the grand prize, consisting of a prize fund of € 100,000 (including a contract with Mediaset 1 year worth 50,000 €). In the seventh edition winner The program was awarded a prize of 300,000 €, but the competitor indicated by the jury of journalists and music critics (who won the "Critics' Award) is awarded a scholarship worth € 50,000. In the eighth edition of the prize money is 200,000 €, while the critics' award has the same last year. In this edition for the first time the winner of the program also won the critics' prize.
DURING THE YEAR RESULTS OF THE CHANGES ARE:
The program has undergone substantial changes during the various editions:
In the first edition (only during the run of Daniel Bossari ) the class was divided into owners and reserves and the reserves from time to time challenged the owners. From the second edition onwards, the class consists only of the owners, and who has not spent the previous selections can be a challenge.
In the first edition, the results of challenges were set by the teachers themselves, but due to controversy (due to allegations of non-objectivity), it was decided to entrust the outcome of the challenge to an outside inspector. In the first edition
categories of pupils were singers, dancers, actors, musicians and presenters. From the second edition have been abolished categories of musicians and presenters.
In the first two editions, the final stage, was in the last challenge the rankings with a rating that he himself chose between two students proposed by teachers. From the third year, teachers are the challengers who decide, in accordance with prescribed criteria, while the last and penultimate defy the so-called deal, which is less a challenge than normal, turning in the same evening, which decreed the release of another student. This mechanism in the following issue has been abandoned because they were defying the very question, as compared to the normal challenges.
From the second edition is introduced as a subject also ballet, gymnastics in the sixth (which remained in force only in that year) and this year there is also the category of singer-songwriters. From the second year
the final is aired on Channel 5 after the first had been sent from Italy 1.
From the third year, the final stage, the boys faced the challenge is closed in "houses", Big Brother style , where you think will better focus in preparing for the challenge. Those who are not in a challenge may be to visit one of the challengers only once during the week. From the sixth year, with teams entering the challenge during the evening, the houses have been abolished.
In the fourth edition, the final stage, the challenges have been introduced to three, consisting of three students, of which only one drop out of school.
In the fourth edition, in the final challenge, namely that the winner of the program, the last in the ranking of satisfaction could challenge those who preferred. The winner who in turn chose to challenge regardless of the index for rating and so on until you get to the winner.
In the fifth edition, the student must meet the challenge with an outside challenger is chosen from among five candidates: one proposed by teachers, one by the students themselves, and the last three on the customer rating.
In the fifth year, any child who is the last three times (though not consecutively) in the ranking of satisfaction must leave school.
From the fifth edition of the evening program also undergoes a change: the introduction there, behind the big screen of a real orchestra, conducted by Giuseppe Vessicchio that playing live to accompany the performance of boys.
In the sixth edition of the children are divided into two teams: Gamma and Delta. The leader of each team is chosen by the teachers and he will select the other members. The two teams will compete in the episode of Saturday afternoon and the winner will be immune from the challenges and will also have the opportunity to show its components. Conversely, the losing team will give up and the performances will be chosen inside the s possible / the challenger s
The sixth edition introduces the mechanism of the stars: the most deserving students each category are assigned the stars that accumulated in those assigned by the ranking of satisfaction, provide direct access to the stage night without incurring the dreaded examination of the barrier and without referring to the rankings, however, obtaining the consent of the teachers of their subject.
During the evening of the sixth edition of the children are divided into two teams, White and Blue: The winning team will be the name of a member of the team losing candidate for dropping them, which could be saved only by the rating and ranking in the final chance, the committee of professors.
Even in the seventh edition of the children are divided into two teams: the Sun and Moon. The mechanism is the same as the sixth edition.
In the seventh edition of the examination was abolished and was replaced by a dam on his review on membership. This exam is allowed only to members of the winning team who are first in their category in the classification of degrees. The successful completion of this examination, with the consent of all the Commission can get direct access to the T-shirt night, thus replacing the system of stars adopted in the previous edition.
During the evening of the seventh edition, teachers have expressed their preferences, clearly siding with one team, the White or Blue, the mechanism of elimination remained identical to that of the sixth edition. The eighth edition
the program keeps track of many new features, starting with the placement in the schedule of Channel 5 . Throughout the initial phase, in fact, the episode live conducted by Maria De Filippi will air on Sunday, from 14:00 to 16:30.
