After a series of duels-flexer, each mentor decided who sends the vote of the public last night, to Antena 1: Delia, Maia Fluture, Ştefan Bănică on Bogdan Mihai, Marius Moga on George Radu and Puya on the girls in the band Sweet’n’Sour.
At the end of the evening, George Radu was appointed the big winner of the X Factor 2025 trophy and the big prize worth 100,000 euros, but the decision did not thank everyone.
Pianist Alex Pădureanu, the son of Cornelia Catanga, watched America the show from Antena 1 and showed dismayed by the result of the X Factor final. He condemned the backstage games in the Antena 1 competition and considers by far the winner Bogdan Mihai, the competitor of Stefan Bănică’s team, the one who masterfully played the song “The tree” of Aurelian Andreescu.
“” I also stood at the X Factor a little at the appearance of my brother Bogdan Mihai, a great voice and a great value that made Romania abroad singing on the world’s biggest scenes, appreciated by the biggest international stars and at the same time. At the appearance of this phenomenal man, because I wanted to see the reaction of the people … and when I say the reaction of the people, I also refer to the jury.
(…) Now, I stay like that and I think, how did he not win x factor?! Because, by far, it was his most phenomenal performance towards everyone! Although he is not X Factor … it is made for the great scenes of the world! ”said Alex Pădureanu, quoted by Click! .ro.
“Why is it not good”
“The fantastic sea difference has been seen! Although he is more known than in Romania! To play on stage with the hardships of the world, such as Placido Domingo or Lara Fabian, it is not easy! You have to be chosen by God! What I saw has left me a bitter taste …
Finally … Bogdan does not know what was in your mind to participate in this competition, but once again you have demonstrated your value! And I say it with all the responsibility that Romania should be proud of you, all the musicians and the great soloists from us in the country. I love you and I, and my father, Alex Pădureanu. You have the Voice! ”was the message transmitted by the son of Cornelia Catanga, at the end of the Talents contest from Antena 1.
Who is George Radu, the winner of this season
In the X Factor auditions, George Radu was the revelation of the evening and raised the room with a sensation interpretation. He confessed to the jurors that he wants his music to reach the whole planet-it’s his dream since he was little.
His father was the one who, at just 4 years old, first laughed at the piano, together with him, and later realized that the music works for him. It started to take small piano lessons, guitar, and then, singing courses.
Over time he composed for other people, and at 23 he made the decision to move to Bucharest, to be closer to the fulfillment of his dream.
“It was an incredible moment! When I received the news, I couldn’t believe it, I felt a huge joy and a gratitude of all my soul. I celebrated last night with my loved ones and I still process everything. From now on, the plan is clear. I close in the studio and I work for you.George Radu revealed.
