“People see things where there are none, and they don't see things where they are.” With astonishing simplicity, Salma, one of this week's nominees in Operación Triunfo, has defined the emotional hyperopia that has fattened psychologists' checking accounts for generations and tests the strength of friendship. The woman from Malaga's reflection was stimulated by the fact that she left the academy to celebrate Christmas Eve with her family. The majority followed the advice of those responsible for the format and avoided social networks in order to preserve their experiences without being conditioned by the gaze of others, while others like Salma focused on them. And he didn't like what he saw.
Some misinterpreted attitudes by the relentless Sanhedrin, which analyzes every frame on social networks, led to her being labeled a harasser, which she had already noticed from the public's boos. When the audience's hostility was confirmed, he decided to accept the card of punishment, although he looks like an antagonist who redeems himself in the final battle, similar to Severus Snape in Harry Potter or Regina George in Mean Girls. Between screams and furtive glances at the camera, he uttered enigmatic sentences in which he seemed to indicate that a great romantic drama was brewing in the house. Comments like “I've done so much for her, I never expected it” or “I haven't slept alone in a month” upset the large group of viewers for whom the music played at the galas just something is The soundtrack of intrigue and passion. Those who advise within the walls of the Academy and who the program nourishes are aware that salsa is now the main fuel for this type of format. Note: Two weeks ago, the part of the fandom that is now certain that Violeta is the reason for Salma's malice just as clearly stated that Violeta was engrossed in a secret relationship with Chiara, which led to her ending up doing a duet of “I” sang “Kissed a Girl” by Katy Perry. Subtlety.
To stay at the academy for another week, Salma chose “When Love Sett Sail”, but stripped it of all the joy and refreshing enthusiasm that Camela brought to a song about heartbreak and turned it into a sad ballad with Manu Guix on the piano as the only companion. The equivalent of eliminating the surreal humor of Amance, which is no small feat, to turn it into a rural drama in the style of Benito Zambrano. A fashionable evil. In That's My Jam, we saw how Amaia, one of those responsible for the continued existence of OT through her charisma, did not unnecessarily destroy you or anyone else who follows the same path. What's next? Do I want to dance in the Saeta version? Mayonnaise in a lying form? Just as comedy never achieves the same intellectual status as drama, dance music has nothing to do with ballads in critical appreciation. Just like Alaska, Dioni, fifty percent of Camela, showed her enthusiasm when she was accused of malrollismo in the first degree and deprived us of the desire to live with nightlife and betrayal. As if there wasn't enough sadness in the world already.
We can pretend to be shocked at how disparate the musical part seems compared to pure gossip, but the posturing is revealed when we then search Maestro on Netflix to see who Leonard Bernstein slept with.
In the absence of a force of order that would bring the same to the matter, it was the audience that canceled the drama for a single character, in which Salma commuted her time at the OT and kept Alex Márquez at the Academy for another week. Without making much noise and thanks to a song by the former Auryn Dani Fernandez, he received more than sixty percent of the votes, to the despair of social networks. I suspect that there is no less desolation among those in charge of the Academy when you see how they missed the opportunity to award the red Marlena flags to Salma and Violeta.
Music culture and old look
The OT of Amazon Prime Video has removed a lot of superfluous content, but also some contributions that, without being essential, differentiated it for the better, such as the musical culture classes of Gulle Milkyway, Zahara or Miqui Puig. According to Tinet Rubira, director of Gestmusic, due to a rights issue. They are missed when they look at the fish-like faces of the contestants when they hear the name Suzy Quatro or recognize Only You for Selena Gomez and not Yazoo. Moments where it's tempting to go for the jugular from an old standpoint, but also wonder how many who were shocked by Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun knew it was a cover of a Robert Hazard song or knew Eloise from Barry Ryan and not from Tino Casal. Let's stick to the fact that today, thanks to the duo Bea and Violeta, there will be someone who will discover Alison Moyet. Just as there will be those who heard Korean pop for the first time thanks to BTS's Dynamite, performed by Álvaro and Martin. The latter, one of the undisputed favorites, was incomprehensibly nominated by Buika, who started the year as quickly as he ended it. As expected, the teachers saved him, while the students saved Álvaro, who narrowly won over the newly nominated Alex. No one, not a single one of his classmates, wrote Paul's name on the board. Since it has existed since the first edition and is part of the mechanics of the competition, we have internalized that each student chooses a partner, but it is a display of cruelty that seems more typical of an American high school film than of a show that claims to be concerned about the general well-being of its participants. What part of being popular makes you a better singer?
This week the show couldn't help but play on the contestants' innocence, and on the 28th it made them believe they were getting a visit from Alejandro Sanz, when the real innocent thing was Ruslana having to face Chanel's SloMo – which Despite her, good work without the tour de force of the Spanish-Cuban, it was once again the same simple and vulgar song that no one was interested in before the semi-finals of the Benidorm Fest – while others performed such relaxed songs as Veintiuno's Modern Life and Love by lesbians . The one about “Polyamory is called the usual horns,” the only sentence Salma remembered, parsley of all things. Even the song's authors couldn't help but point out his theater work and replied to him by email to find out who Leonard Bernstein had slept with.
