I don’t want to talk about Esperanza Gracia, my dearest Pisces, or even about , which I still like more, but last week I announced that it was going to be María Cruz’s last and last night we told her . I did not expect that, for such a crazy percentage, she obtained only 16% of the votes compared to the 84% that Cristina received. I insist once again on how unnecessary it is to display such a disproportion. Is it worth it for that girl to have the feeling that Spain, the Spain that OT sees, understand me, does not love her? Even his companions seemed sincerely affected, bewildered and without very understanding the situation.
The most complete was María Cruz, who to save herself had chosen to play Envy by Nathy Peluso. Faced with a piece of information that would have overwhelmed anyone, he was elegant and his self-confidence and sense of humor made the situation more bearable.
You didn’t need to be a fortune teller, just walk around for five minutes hashtags that make it clear every week where the shots are going to go. It was as predictable as if I say that in the comments to this chronicle someone is going to ask why we talk so much about OT and someone will make it clear that they do not see those things. Tired, we are tired. Who thinks of talking about a television format in the television section? But how can I complain, when yesterday a very high percentage of the comments to the excellent lamented that so much was said about Rosalía, that to what end, they wondered, attention was still being paid to the matter. We’ve only been listening to the album for four days and people are already tired of talking about the album. As if in this country there was so much talk about music that we were already saturated. Hala, the London Symphony Orchestra again; Ugh, so many references to Tosca’s Vissi d’arte.
I also tell you that there is a lot of protesting, but I’m sure that more than one of those complaining watched the gala on a delayed basis and dedicated the live show to watching Rosalía in The revolt. I saw it later and how wonderful the little theater at the beginning. Almodóvar, Carmena, Alexia Putellas… TVE showing muscle, as Rosalía literally taught later. What sympathy and how natural, no academy teaches you that. He even challenged Broncano to an arm-wrestling match, and it was clear that he was not the first to throw out. Until recently in Spain, seeing national stars being friendly, or rather, professional, in promotion was a rarity. And while the singer conquered the program’s unruly audience with smiles and cake, a winning combination, The anthill It fulfilled a very important function and made it clear to us who Andy is because this time there was no Lucas. Maybe there will never be again until a check unites them in some Mediaset reality show. On Telecinco at that time, bonfires of confrontation were lit. Although today the only one that would interest me would be the one that faced , and with a polygraph, if possible.
It was not necessary to have divination skills to predict that Cristina was going to stay, who looks more like a winner every day. He interpreted Gorge with sand by Cacho Castaña and at 18 years old he sang it as if he had gone through two divorces and only found solace in absinthe and Gauloises. He cast a final look that not even Charo López in The joys and the shadows. they wanted acting and gave them to export. Someone who missed the gala last week will wonder in shock what Cristina was doing there when she should have already been collecting the final check, because let’s see who can overshadow her right now. Who could have done it at some point?
As of tonight there are nine left, half of those we saw at Gala Zero, and I confess that it took me more than a week to be aware of who was who. Something that I don’t remember happening to me even in that third edition of TVE that crowned Vicente Segui. There are good voices, but something is missing. At this point we can give up and recognize that this edition lacks personality, from the contestants, the jury, the teachers and even the songs. Everything moves in a mediocre aura, without fuss. There are no good guys to spread, there are no captivating personalities; I think of Amaia or even Violeta who acted as a guest star yesterday. I remembered upon seeing her that at her first gala it was already clear that she was someone to pay attention to, as was Paul Thin, who also visited the Academy this week. This year there are no memorable moments for the positive, nor the other way around; There are no disasters of those that also give juice to the edition. Let’s see who has forgotten Esther Aranda and Tania G to destroy Those of intuitionthe greatest pain that a woman inflicted on Shakira until Clara Chía appeared. Cristina was introduced to Cacho Castaña tango at the age of 12 through Manu Guix and Ana Guerra. Any children you see today Operation Triumph Will he be ecstatically remembering a performance by Crespo in a decade?
And it’s not that there haven’t been exciting moments this week. Tinho, elegant for the first time; It is seen that in the wardrobe they have given conditional freedom to good taste, and Olivia, they marked a very delicate revision of the legendary Cheek to Cheek of top hat in the version by Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett with which they both shone. Less overwhelming, but correct, it was and its You invited me to dance. Claudia Arenas, perhaps the contestant who has evolved the most at the Academy, offered an impeccable version of Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer, a song from the soundtrack of someone like you.
Téyou also had a song with a cinematic soul, that of Peter Frampton, which had a new life thanks to Bites of reality. Téyou wears a few finery that is about to be there; It doesn’t seem like the show poses any challenge for her, but since she’s smart, she knew that the song wasn’t in her favor because, no matter how much fun you have, if the material doesn’t work for you, you’ll end up among the nominees. So it was, but it didn’t last long; Her classmates saved her, that social barometer that tells us how things are going within the walls. What about Téyou may be surprising because he stands out even on autopilot, as he has almost since he arrived. She is there so that those who make festival posters can learn how to write her name. Guillo Rist and Lucia Casani received a double nomination for the . Guillo Rist! Those who missed it will tell me scandalized. And I won’t say it was an undeserved nomination. More doubtful was that of Guille Toledano, who with Estopa was less flat than on other occasions, but the evaluations of this jury are incomprehensible or directly contradictory.
The teachers saved Guillo by praising his camaraderie because something had to be said, and I’m starting to think that they were choosing reasons at random, which left as nominees Lucía Casani, already an expert in these matters, and Guille Toledano, who will face his first nomination because there is little left and they will all end up passing the plank. The favorite has been Olivia, who lets see who can object to that voice, that attitude and that elegance, but it is less funny because, as usual, it was an orchestrated maneuver in the darkness of the networks. Such unanimity and docility takes away the emotion and soul of the program; It is the fantasy of the inhuman tide of To manythe new and very promising series on Apple TV, but how can I think of talking about television in the television section.
