X Factor 2024: everything is ready for the new edition. The date to mark is September 12 with the famous auditions. A completely new edition: starting from the presenter (Giorgia arrives) up to the judges, all new. Therefore, curiosity is growing to understand if these new ingredients will prove to be successful or not. Yes, because the program must deal with a decrease in viewers: 624,000 (3.06% share) two years ago and 555,300 (2.76%) share last year. Will they make it? In the meantime, let’s find out more about the judges.

This year everything changes: Ambra Angiolini, Dargen D’Amico, Fedez and Morgan are out. The judges for the 2024 edition are: Achille Lauro, Paola Iezzi, Jake La Furia and Manuel Agnelli.

From here several professional projects: co-hosting the talk show Extra Factor, the short film Happy Birthday (presented at the 76th Venice Film Festival), dubbing, Sanremo again (with Me ne frego), Sanremo again in 2021 with his “musical paintings”, the hit “Mille” with Orietta Berti and Fedez, the program Celebrity Hunted, the third Sanremo as a competitor in the competition (with Domenica), the victory at Una voce per San Marino 2022, the docufilm Ragazzi Madre – L’Iliade and now X Factor.

- Paola Iezzi: Singer-songwriter, DJ, producer. Paola Iezzi was born in Milan in 1974. She attended classical high school (with Roberro Vecchioni as a teacher) and since high school she has approached music with her sister Chiara. Success came between the 90s and 2000s, with the victory at the Sanremo Festival in the New Proposals category and then consecrated with the single Vamos a bailar. In 2013 they announced their split. Paola continued on her own but did not achieve the same success.
