There are things that are understood at first, things that are understood once they are explained to you and things that are not understood or understood as much as they want to impose at all costs. The "shameful" , "insulting" , "pathetic" and "surreal" nomination last night for Samantha at the Gala 3 of OT 2020 is the third. As much as the jury, I'm very sorry, but in this edition leaves much to be desired, try to convince, especially himself, that Samantha and his Maniac deserved the nomination, no one believes it.
It is no longer just that Samantha did one of the great performances of the night with her partner Eva , who literally ate on stage, is that the argument put forward by the jury, formed by Nina, Natalia Jiménez, Javier Llano and Javier Portuguese , I had neither feet nor head and if you hurry me neither arms nor legs. Look that there were performances that deserved the nomination or at least a touch of attention, but just that of Samantha , I'm sorry, but no.
Without going to value the effort that it means for Samantha , deaf in one ear, the simple fact of being at the same level and even above many of her classmates, to carry out a performance in which it was not only to sing, tune and mark Well the times of the melody, but also carried a complicated choreography that, without me having much idea of these things, Samantha knew how to get ahead and with note, is more than many would have expected.
So with a note that he literally ate his partner Eva on stage, but as the jury - and the Academy too - he begins to see the duster - Samantha is not a favorite, but Eva, like Flavio, does They are. Fighting the elements when you have them totally against it is almost a miracle. And as much as last night's Samantha gala was one of the best, when the nominations are more than thought and decided, there is nothing to do . The jury's explanation last night smelled like that, to which I was determined and point ball.
It would have been the same for Samantha to become Jennifer Beals herself , a bucket of water would be thrown over like the mythical scene of Flashdance and the most remembered Maniac or doing pirouettes on stage. The jury seemed to have decided that Samantha had to be nominated and that donkey was not going to get anyone down. Why do I say this? Because he argued that Portu wielded to explain Samantha's nomination is the most ridiculous thing that has been heard in an edition of Operation Triumph throughout its history.
Not only because it was indefensible after seeing Samantha's performance, is that the explanation was so bizarre, so extravagant, so inexplicable, so hard to believe that no one can miss that the followers of the musical talent exploded on social networks, completely outraged by the lack of credibility of a jury that begins to fail more than a fair shotgun . That they say it to Ariadna , one of the best voices of this OT 2020 and that for not having adapted well to the first week in the Academy was nominated and expelled by the public, missing one of the promises of this edition.
Portu and an absurd explanation
To the parrot with Portu's explanation to justify Samantha's nomination! "12 years ago, a winner of Operation Triunfo , whose name is Lorena , released the Maniac as the first single because it was a tribute to the great movies of the 80s. So after seeing your essay today with the production team I searched the video of the performance that she did on the set of Operación Triunfo presenting that first single as an OT winner and I have seen that performance, and it has given me the feeling that she did it with more claw, with more intensity, better sung. .. And 12 years later a generation like yours, the YouTube generation, that you can have more information, watch more videos ... I have simply thought that it could not be and that is why this jury proposes you to leave the Academy ". Sorry? But what explanation is this? Really, to justify a nomination that had no justification, you have to fall so much in the senseless?
Let's see that I find out, that I should be a little scattered. To nominate Samantha , Portu's explanation is that since these boys have access to YouTube, they should have seen Lorena's performance 12 years ago to get infected or to learn from what she did then. That is to say, from now on all those candidates of the Academy who do not copy themselves or who do not do the same as someone who has previously performed the song they have played is nominated. At least that is what I translate from an argument that there is nowhere to catch it .
Anda there have been no artists who have interpreted the Maniac by Michael Sambello and it turns out that for Portu Samantha I would have had to search for Lorena on YouTube 12 years ago and have been infected with her energy, her interpretation and what the winner did of OT then so that the performance came out in conditions. HAHAHA! Sorry I laughed, but it sounds like a joke. How can you justify a nomination in such an absurd way? I get the feeling that given the need for X nominees, the jury is at a crossroads that is sometimes very difficult to solve because there are no compelling reasons to nominate. And then what do they do? Well, throw down the middle street without even thinking about what they are saying or doing.
Note that having been saved by the jury, the assessment that Portu also made on the performance of Eva, Samantha's partner, was much more reasonable for a nomination than that of Samantha, which eventually ended up being the nominee. "Eva, there is no doubt that you have something. You were a favorite, you like the audience ... Today you had a Miura to deal with because this song, all of us who are already old, have in our heads the image of an actress, Jennifer Beals , that was electric. We have lacked that electricity. There was a bit of choreography learned, from 'don't forget the lyrics' ... We have lacked a bit ... But it crosses that catwalk. " It is quite obvious that this assessment is more suitable for a nomination than that of Samantha .
What reason is to say that since Samantha is from the generation that has had access to YouTube, she is nominated because she had to have entered YouTube and searched for Lorena's video? What explanation is to say that I should have learned from what she did 12 years ago? But aren't OT applicants supposed to have their own style and make their own songs their own? It is to piss and not drop.
And Portu's argument for nominating Samantha is not just what leaves you ojiplática. It is that even though it was not an act of Honor Registration, not even of Outstanding, it was well above the actions of other colleagues who were directly granted the honor of crossing the catwalk. Tell me that Samantha was not electric, that she lacked a spark, that she did not put the energy that Lorena put on her more than a decade ago, but they applaud Flavio's performance, no matter how characteristic and genuine her voice is, last night on the stage it looked like a stick with arms and legs trying to keep up, it's to turn off the TV and say goodbye.
I understand that the figure of the jury in a talent like OT 2020 is not easy. They will always meet fans of each other angry or happy because they have nominated or saved their favorite. But I can swear on the most sacred thing that I don't have any favorites in this edition because it's still too early and because they haven't just arrived. So it costs me nothing to say that Samantha last night did not deserve the nomination. And much less he deserved it for not having seen the videos on YouTube of which he was the winner of OT 12 years ago, much less because he lacked energy, much less because he did worse than other colleagues. It is not that there were worse than Samantha, that there were, it is that if Samantha you justify her nomination by saying that since you have not watched Lorena's video, we nominate you, what will you tell the others?
Honestly, I am convinced that Samantha's nomination was because there was no other left and one had to look for an excuse that sounded cheap and incongruous. "Insulting" and "unfair" to many of the viewers, who did not understand how a person could be nominated because they did not watch the video of an OT contestant on YouTube. Man, if they had told him it is that you have not looked at the interpretation of Jennifer Beals in Flashdance and you have not been infected with his explosiveness, then yet. But as it turns out that Samantha and Eva did look and repelled Jennifer Beals' performance until they got tired of seeing the epileptic lights of that scene, because you had to go through the Ubeda Hills to justify what was not justified .
Nick, sick and nominated
Thank God that the teachers corrected the jury's shit and saved Samantha , leaving Anne, Nick and Maialen as nominees. The partners decided to save Anne and ended up as Nick and Maialen's nominees this week . I will not say that Nick and Maialen's performance did not deserve the nomination. It was a real mess. But now let's talk about having to judge a sick person.
This week the viruses have taken over the Academy. If they have not all fallen ill, few have been saved. Eli, expelled last night after the public did not forgive that unfortunate and terrible week, sang without having recovered from a flu that left her touched and sunk. And the same thing happened to Nick, who last night revealed that he has even been clicking to see if he could recover his voice. But I couldn't even talk to Roberto Leal! And despite this he went out to try to defend a performance that was already known given his physical condition and, above all, that of his voice, which was going to be impossible for him to move forward.
I understand that if you get sick you have no choice but to draw strength from where there are and pull forward. However, I do not believe that the assessments made by the jury of a sick person should be the same as with the rest. Nick was sick, Nick had no voice, Nick made a frightening performance , but he cannot be objectively assessed when he is not in the same conditions as the rest of his teammates.
With Eli there was no other because she was nominated and the votes to save the nominees are all week, but the jury should have taken Nick's circumstances into account and from the beginning did not allow him to enter the nominations. And I say Nick as any of those who were touched by various diseases. However, Nick's case was the most exceptional because he was virtually voiceless .
I know that Anne was saved by her classmates (Nick may already be between life and death that her classmates do not save even if they point them with the barrel of a tank), but between Nick , her voice shattered by circumstances beyond her control Will, and Anne , who, no matter how sweetly she radiated, last night deflected like a cat that has just been stepped on to the tail, it would have been fair to save Nick , who does not think he has a great voice, and not Anne , As much as we like his character and the aura he gives off.
For me there were some great last night were Nia, Gèrard and Bruno , but especially the first two that embroidered La farewell, by Cami . It was a performance worthy of a final Operation Triumph. As Nina told them, "what a shake . " Hairs as scarpies and with a double challenge: first, to reach the public with their interpretation and, second, to do so out of the register in which each of them feels comfortable. Because it is very easy to be applauded by teachers and jury when you have played a song with which you move like a fish in the water. The difficult thing is to be applauded when you put yourself in a paper that does not go with you, in a paper with which you do not feel comfortable, in a paper where nothing makes it easy for you.
Luckily the jury knew how to see it. And it is not that I want to make firewood from the fallen tree or put more cane against the jury, which, as I say, does not have an easy job. But it is obvious that something is wrong with this jury. It is no longer just the arguments used in their assessments, it is that some are extremely absurd. For example, last night, after the "hot, hot, hot" performance of Anaju and Hugo , how can one simply say "what could we expect from the most handsome uncle and aunt of the Academy" : Yes, that is the initial assessment and that the fat, the weight comes at the end, but do you really see a performance, whatever, and all you can say is "what could you expect from the most handsome uncle and aunt in the Academy"? The less, the level is surprising.
If comments like these are added to the strange and elaborate explanations of their valuations , it is therefore not surprising that the followers of the program get upset and rightly so. Because the anger last night was not because Samantha was nominated, the anger last night came because there was nowhere to take Portu's argument. Argument that last night was brazen that it was the forced justification of the one who cannot justify what he is doing, but that begins to become something habitual. The same day they defend another nomination claiming that these guys are the generation of the smartphone or that as they were already born with the Internet they have to know who, how many times and how they interpreted the issues that touch them. Anyway, all very ridiculous ...
