Italian X Factor Winner: Matteo Becucci
The Italian X Factor is in its second season and it’s always so exciting and competitive. Like Denmark, each judge (musical producer Mara Maionchi, the singer Morgan and the very popular TV hostess Simona Ventura) is a mentor to certain contestants (groups, and age groups.) Last year, the Aram Quartet, mentored by Morgan, won. This year Matteo Becucci won in April.
Matteo has just finished his X Factor tour, but you can check his upcoming engagements on his Official Myspace. Unbelievably, he is 38 years old, and hails from Livorno, Italy, and I think he looks like Bon Jovi. Here is Matteo singing David Bowie’s song “Starman” (April 1972).
