It was said that TikTok was an invention of the Chinese Government to spy on us, as if very sophisticated schemes had to be devised for this purpose, and it is now said that, after some suspicious maneuvers by the Republican Government, it has become a tool managed by those related to it to generate small serial Trumpists. In other words, a seemingly harmless app could end up destroying social democracy as we know it. But not everything is bad; It has also served to recover old hits such as One Way Ticketfrom Eruption, Make Your Own Kind of Musicof , or the irresistible It will be because I love youby Ricchi e Poveri. If we are going to go to the abyss, at least let’s do it dancing. The anthem of the quartet, now a duo, one of the favorites of the Italian soccer fields, has been the group song of the week and there are few hits that raise the spirits more, choral and individually. We will not have democracy, but we will have rhythm.
Although we sometimes forget it, here we come to compete, not just to dance naively like cronopios, and two phrases from Chenoa were enough for us to focus on what was important: the duel between Salma de Diego, who nailed my shoes know it of Pablo López, and Max, who perpetrated Your refuge by Pablo Alborán. Many may not recognize López’s song because no piano was damaged during its performance; They wouldn’t recognize Alborán’s either because, I don’t know…, complete it if you’ve seen it, I never want to think about that television moment again because there is already enough pain in the world.
The thing is, since this is a popularity contest and thousands of fans of the boy with the boyfriend’s expression Candy Candy or a character from (I hope you appreciate that I make an effort to find references for different generations) had started to vote on the first day, it was Salma who has undeservedly left the Academy, causing one of those historical injustices that leave a mark for at least ten minutes. With moments like the one experienced last night, it is worth asking what is the point of the nominees preparing for a week the song with which they intend to save themselves if those who vote do so solely because of the sympathy they arouse, as if this were a GH any. Perhaps it would be fairer if voting could only be done after the performance, but for that, fairness would have to matter more than clicks.
Salma left the Academy after a surprising performance for a third gala and after having given this week one of the best speeches heard in any of the editions of the program. in which she explained to her partner Guille Toledano all the bad things hidden in the expression “neither sexist nor feminist” and clarified that men are also victims of sexism and that there are also sexist women, without forgetting the damage caused by misinformation on social networks and the danger of social media influencers. And all of this filled with phrases like “read a book, Manolo.” I don’t know what wave of feminism we’re going for, but that should be their motto. During the gala, however, they preferred to rescue videos of the contestants’ flatulence, well, okay. Read a book, Amazon.
To Toledo, in addition to an express course Citizenship educationhe had to perform alongside Judit the Don’t Leave Me This Way by Thelma Houston in the Communards version, a hit that would delight those who do remember the couple from Candy Candywhile Claudia and Olivia defended Messy from , who is sadly in the news this week for having suffered a faint that has forced him to suspend his tour.
María, Lucía and Cristina had the complex task of filling three voices in the Training Season of Dua Lipa, which is only one, and Tinho and Crespo carried out The only one of , not an easy task given the exuberant and personal energy of the Argentines. I’m not going to reveal the duo when half of Spain has already seen them. The anthill and the average that follows The revolt; If it happens that you don’t belong to either of the two, take a look at your . But, without a doubt, the performance of the night was the let’s forget by La Casa Azul and Soleá Morente, one of those combinations that squeak at first like Freddy Mercury and Montserrat Caballé or anise and cognac, but then are a super yes.
Guillo Rist & Téyou, who were surprisingly well dressed or at least did not look like they had fallen into a Humana container as is usual in OTthey acted with such solvency that they made , which is, in case anyone didn’t know, cry. Cry with emotion, not like Pablo Alborán, who at this time is probably still in the fetal position. Laura and Carlos had to sleepless night from Guaraná, and they will have stayed up all night, since both were nominated along with Tinho and Max (normal).
Of folders and romances
Juanjo Bona, a contestant from the last edition, was also on the set. The master came from the past to present his new song, counterprogram himself in MasterChef and remind the inhabitants of the house of the value of a folder. I explain to the neophytes: in the realitiesa “folder” is a . See, for example, and Alfred, and Cepeda or Edurne and Fran Dieli (you had to Google it, right?). These folders usually arouse suspicion because they sometimes serve to prolong the stay of the contestants in the house in an undeserved way and only for the sake of salsa, but the passionate relationships between singers have always been there, from Dolores Abril and Juanito Valderrama to ; Reality television has not invented them.
The jury saved Tinho and the classmates saved Max, while Laura saw how no one wrote her name on the board. It continues to surprise me that a contest that takes such care of the young people who participate in it makes them go through more traumatic moments than a hazing at the Elías Ahuja Residence Hall. Both Laura’s and Carlos’s fate are left this week in the hands of a fickle, but surprisingly organized audience. A few days ago a movement emerged on social networks that asked Lucía to be a favorite, mainly because they wanted to show her affection so that she felt valued, since some had seen her a little out of place at the Academy, and that is what happened. A commendable effort, but it is still terrifying how easy it is to mobilize the masses on social networks, and it will certainly not always be for such a positive reason. It’s normal that everyone wants to control TikTok.
