X Factor 2026 Wraps Up Auditions as Camilla and Sofia Sole Cammarota Shine on Sky Uno
As of late September 2026, the final Auditions phase of X Factor 2026 has officially concluded on Sky Uno and streaming via NOW, hosted by Giorgia with judges Francesco Gabbani, Paola Iezzi, Irama, and Jake La Furia evaluating the next wave of Italian musical talent.
The Bottom Line
- The Milestone: The third and final episode of the Auditions concluded the initial selection phase, setting the stage for the upcoming Bootcamp rounds.
- The Standouts: Contestants like Camilla, Sofia Sole Cammarota, and Angela Cotterle delivered standout vocal performances that captivated the judges.
- The Schedule: Following the broadcast on Sky Uno, episodes air in clear on TV8, leading into Bootcamps in early October and Live Shows later in the month.
The Final Auditions Night on Sky Uno and NOW
Recorded back in June at the Allianz Cloud in Milan, the third episode of the X Factor 2026 Auditions brought the initial tryout phase to a close. With Jake La Furia standing out as a particularly sharp-eyed evaluator at the desk alongside Gabbani, Iezzi, and Irama, the panel sifted through a diverse roster of hopefuls.
Among the most talked-about moments of the night was street artist Duilio Pirrera, 34, who delivered a rendition of Luigi Tenco’s classic “Vedrai, vedrai”. Earning mixed initial feedback regarding his raw delivery from Irama, Pirrera ultimately secured four yeses from the table after sharing his daily grind as a street performer.
Standout Performances and Memorable Verdicts
The episode offered a mix of emotionally resonant covers and polarizing artistic choices. Angela Cotterle tackled Francesco De Gregori’s “Generale,” earning a standing ovation and high praise from Irama for handling the musical “boulder” without losing her distinct identity. Meanwhile, Sofia Sole Cammarota energized the crowd with RAYE’s “Oscar Winning Tears,” locking in her ticket to the next round with a unanimous four yeses.
Not every act found immediate favor with the panel. Edoardo Di Petta faced a steep climb tackling Giorgia’s “Di sole e d’azzurro” with the iconic singer watching from backstage, ultimately receiving four nos. Similarly, Biagio Davì fell short of the standard with OneRepublic’s “Let’s Hurt Tonight.”
