The shocking lesson that Got Talent gave us all

"She was born / In a cold hospital room / When she saw the light / Her forehead broke like glass / Because between her fingers her father / Like a fish slipped out / A month ago he turned twenty-six / I only think of you ... " I recognize that just by listening to the first chords of I only think of you from Victor Manuel, my heart trembles. As Paz Padilla said in Got Talent last night, it's a song that makes me sad, until last night, until Ismailah got on the stage of the show, until Ismailah smiled, until Ismailah sang that "hey" that doesn't hurt in her throat, in his throat comforts.

Because the story of Ismailah has nothing to do with the story of that. I only think of you , and it has to do with everything. Ismailah had risen at 05.00 am and had taken a plane from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to fulfill his dream. But Ismailah ended up fulfilling the dream of many. Ismailah had only gone to sing, he had only gone to sing that "hey", that "together hand in hand", that "there can be no one in this happy world", and Ismailah and Got Talent ended up giving away a wonderful life lesson , shocking, overwhelming .

Because last night Got Talent was overcome in every way. Ismailah, Rosa, Xayo, Peter ... They all made a program of those that you sleep with your heart shrunk, but you wake up the next day with the feeling of having reconciled with the world , with yourself and with others. How good it feels to cry, read!

Their stories, their overcoming, their fears, their daring, their needs are those of many, are those of everyone because in the end seeing them you become almost almost one of them. That in this world where we are increasingly angry, sadder, more irritated , where everyone and everything bothers us, there are people like Ismailah or Rosa is a gift.

It had been a long, long time since I cried so much with a television show. It is true that the button of sensitivity and emotion I have very delicate , and that every time I sit down to watch any television program I live it with such intensity that it is difficult not to make me cry, laugh, piss off and whatever. But last night the story of Ismailah, her performance, her smile, her sweetness, her everything not only made me cry as I had not cried for a long time, but, indeed, today I woke up reconciled with the world . Thanks Ismailah!

How would it be that even the move of Risto Mejide and Santi Millán that ended up with Risto leaving the program, like so many other times, went from something more than anecdotal. If Ismailah had not been, if Rosa had not been today, the confrontation between presenter and jury would have been the most talked about television program. But they were.

When things are done well, when everyone is given the opportunity, when everyone is valued equally, when someone is happy and makes others happy neither the ridiculous anger of Risto, nor the pikes of Santi Millán take place . It's when you can really talk about Got Talent for real. And Ismailah is so real ...

Ismailah is a 32-year-old boy whose dream has always been to sing, but not to sing because he likes music or because he has a great capacity for it, that he has it, but because for Ismailah since childhood, music has been his form of expression . Ismailah "is special" , suffers a disability since he was a child, Ismailah has the most wonderful smile I've seen in a long time. It is a smile that fills everything, it is a happiness that floods every corner of darkness. And when he sings, alas, when he sings! When he sings everything is possible .

"He was born standing / they went to give birth in cotton / his father thought / that this was a punishment from the Lord / he looked for a place to forget him / and as a child he was hospitalized / he will soon turn thirty-three / I only think of you. .. "

Accompanied by his mother, the real culprit that Ismailah gave us the lesson we all needed last night , he arrived in Madrid, arrived at the theater and waited for him to be given his number and called to sing while preparing his voice and asking his mother If they were recording him . She did not leave him at any time, grabbed his hand very strong and gave him the last advice: "vocalize (...) transmit (...) enjoy" . Ismailah enjoyed, but those who saw it enjoyed it much more.

It filled the whole stage, the whole theater, every seat and probably every magic house. And, of course, it moved, and he didn't do it because Ismailah had a disability and sang the song of I only think of you , he did it because Ismailah "is special", because Ismailah is all happiness, because Ismailah is all light. If we see Ismailah in the street, no one notices him, as nobody notices the one who walks next, but the scenario of Got Talent is that springboard that can change the life of the participant or can change the life of the person sees it.

Most of the time Got Talent falls into a tiring repetition of who knows that certain things are successful and there is no reason to change them. These are the performances - increasingly boring - of children dancing, children singing, huge dance groups, acrobats, magicians, etc. However, there are times when "special people" arrive, who come to do the same thing as many others have done, but who have something (a story, a life, a path ...) that others do not have.

I do not think that Ismailah last night Got Talent changed his life, simply, Got Talent let him fulfill his dream of singing, but he did change it to those of us who saw him. Not only is everything that Ismailah gave off, it is that Ismailah did everything his mother advised him and carried out a spectacular performance.

Only he on stage, with his white shirt, his cowboy shorts, his sandals, his microphone and his hands, those hands that with every "hey" and every "I only think of you" stretched out as if they were touching the audience . That "hey" that thrilled Edurne for her sweetness and care. Because Ismailah also sings well.

"Ismailah I really liked your song. It's a song that makes me sad, but seeing you singing it makes me very happy because I know it makes you happy . You are a special being and you make everyone who is at your side happy " , an excited Paz Padilla told him, that he couldn't help getting up and kissing Ismailah as soon as he finished his song.

"It shows that you have enjoyed it very much. It surprises me because you have a voice when you speak that when you sing it has nothing to do with it. It is much sweeter. I am glad that you have come, that you have enjoyed and that you have made us enjoy ourselves, " Edurne added, much colder - someone has to put in some reasoning.

And it was up to Risto, one of Ismailah's favorite judges, and everything could happen, with Risto you never know: "All my companions have told you. I think music is also for this, music is also to give us lessons, life lessons to all . Thank you. "

Ismailah smiled and thanked the audience's applause and the jury's appraisals, and then her mother entered accompanied by Santi Millán , the mother who wanted her son to fulfill his dream of climbing on stage and singing, and that image of mother and son seized Hand in hand, listening to each other from the jury and counting the ones they were carrying, while the mother was confirming them, is one of those images that we should remember when we think that everything falls apart.

Ismailah was not given the gold pass , which leads directly to the semifinal, but Ismailah is already the winner of Got Talent. It does not matter if within a few weeks he reaches the final and wins or loses, because Ismailah was the winner of many things. As was Rosa, the girl from the Tupé, who attended the program to cover the song Halelluyah with her own lyrics, with her own "we are made to love".

And it is that behind the story of La Niña del Tupé , by Rosa , there is a story that bent down to the very own Risto Mejide who had to go on stage when Rosa broke into a thousand pieces by telling how much it cost her to accept her sexual orientation and the situation she has at home where her family does not support her.

Just as for Ismailah, music has always been his form of expression, for Rosa, music was his way of freeing himself from the torture he has lived. You have to be very brave, the bravest, to do it on a television show, on stage and waiting to be valued and judged. But Rosa must have been so scared, that Got Talent is not scary, Got Talent is a respite.

"You have not done anything wrong, they have done it ," a Risto told him that situations such as Rosa's hurt and always take out their less bitter side. However, Risto Mejide did not want to say yes, she will only give it when her parents come with her. Perhaps, it was not necessary, because what Rosa wanted, what Rosa was looking for with Got Talent was to free herself and to free herself she has to stop being afraid. Because he who fears is a slave.

I keep the final sentence of Dani Martínez after Rosa's performance: "I have realized that Got Talent is not just talent, but emotion, message, bravery and vindication." And last night Got Talent was all that, last night Got Talent was much more than a television show.
