X Factor, Rob surprisingly wins ahead of eroCaddeo and Delia
In the final in Naples, the 20-year-old Sicilian overcame predictions that PierC was the winner
Against all odds it is Rob who wins the 2025 edition of X Factor. This was the verdict of the final evening of the Sky talent show, for the second year running held in Naples, in Piazza Plebiscito. Behind her eroCaddeo - in the running for victory right up to the end - Delia and PierC, the eve's announced winner.
A 20-year-old student from Trecastagni (Catania) whose real name is Roberta Scandurra, Rob declares herself a artist who likes to experiment through autobiographical songs. In 2022 she won the Tour Music Fest with the title of 'Artist of the year'. Here, college professors awarded her a scholarship, thanks to which she was able to attend a Songwriting workshop at Berklee in Boston in June 2023.
Week after week, as an "underdog", as she was often called during her time in the talent show, following the advice of her judge Paola Iezzi, she dominated the stage of X Factor 2025 with her pop-punk: she proposed and reinterpreted in this key songs such as Call Me by Blondie, Driver License by Olivia Rodrigo vers. JXDN, Heads Will Roll by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette, You Can Feel by Matia Bazar, What's Up? by the 4 Non Blondes, Bring Me to Life by Evanescence, A Little Thrill by Anna Oxa, Decode by Paramore. Her unreleased track is called A Hundred Girls, a pop punk blast in which she recounts the end of a love affair as a real withdrawal: he has disappeared and she is left alone to deal with disillusionment.
