The Syracuse dancer cannot stand the pressure of competitiveness within the most famous talent show in Italy: he leaves Amici after a week
Just seven days before the start of the new edition of FriendsMaria De Filippi’s famous talent show, the first twist has already arrived. Gabriele Baioa young dancer from Syracuse, has chosen to leave school permanently. His decision, which moved the public and his fellow adventurers, came after a week of profound crisis. First an injury and then an emotional distress that pushed him to question his artistic path.
The first alarm bell was a foot injury, which forced him to stop right at the beginning of this important experience. The physical pain turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg. Gabriele began to feel overwhelmed by the pressure and fear of not being up to the stage Friendsa platform that requires not only talent but also great psychological strength.
Despite the teacher’s encouragement Deborah Lettieriwho saw in him a “stage animal”, capable of capturing attention and dominating the scene, Gabriele was unable to overcome his fears. The dancer, in an emotionally charged confrontation with his teacher, admitted:
“I feel oppressed, I’m afraid… maybe this isn’t the right path for me.”
Lettieri tried in every way to support him, reminding him that talent goes beyond difficulties and that moments of crisis can become opportunities for growth. But the young man, overwhelmed by anxiety and a sense of inadequacy, was unable to find the serenity necessary to continue.
After a long reflection and a conversation with his mother, Gabriele communicated his painful decision to his companions and the production. She declared in tears, leaving everyone in disbelief and deeply affected by her vulnerability:
“I can’t do it, I have to leave.”
There choice by Gabriele highlights the less visible aspect of a program like Friends. The psychological pressure that budding artists face, the fear of not being enough and the weight of expectations. Despite the support received, the young dancer preferred to listen to himself and protect his mental well-being, demonstrating a different courage, that of knowing how to say “enough” when necessary.
His abandonment opened an important debate on the topic of mental health in the world of entertainment. Young talents have to deal with their own fragilities, and sometimes the bravest choice is to stop.
