OT 2020: War breaks out in OT: "What a sworn jury!"

It was the chronicle of a death foretold. Little was taking the confrontation between Academy and jury in OT 2020 , and last night the director of the Academy, the great Noemí Galera , broke out against some judges - Natalia Jiménez, Nina, Javier Llano and Javier Portuguese, 'Portu' - which in four galas have gone from more to less, but very less. If last week it was Portu who provoked the anger of the followers of the program because of the "shameful" assessment he made of Samantha's performance, this week it was Natalia Jiménez's assessments that ended up filling the professors' patience glass of the Academy. The sworn-Academy war has broken out, and rightly so.

Noemí Galera , who is again proving to be the best director that OT 2020 can have, silenced many mouths with the diplomacy of a director, but with the hardness of who is up to the fig, speaking badly and soon, of meaningless assessments from a jury that, as she said, seems to be valuing more performances of Your Face Sounds , the Antena 3 program, than a musical talent like Operation Triunfo .

The nomination of Anne , Anajú and Javy by the jury and, especially, the arguments they used to give them provoked the anger of the professors of the Academy and, again, a wave of indignation of the followers of the program, that if the week Lastly, the words of Portu to Samantha were described as pretty, causing Portu himself to apologize through a statement on social networks and with apologies at the gala last night, the words of Natalia Jiménez or Nina last night triggered a wave outrage among the public that even asked to change the jury, among many other things.

"What a sworn jury!" , a girl who was among the audience of the set came to shout; "humiliates the contestants", "are bullshit ratings"; "Bring a more professional person" ... And so a long list of comments against the jury, but especially against Natalia Jimenez who took all the criticism of the followers.

The moment of that girl in the public that after hearing the nominations could not contain the rage and shouted that "go sworn of shit!" , which resonated on the set like an atomic bomb, is the image of a situation that has been growing with the galas. The public is tired of a jury that seems to leave much to be desired and that gala after gala are being overcome in contradictions and assessments that for many are "pathetic" and "embarrassing."

It is true that the task of the OT jury is not easy. OT is a program that mobilizes a very specific target, with hordes of followers that follow each movement, each gesture, each word and not only of the applicants but of everything that happens in the Academy, and I do not mean at the gala ! Thousands of eyes that observe with maximum attention and analyze with all the weight of what is delivered to a program everything that has happened and everything that happens . And they are until the last hair of a jury's neck, which is no longer just transmitting a great distrust, but in their assessments they don't even know where the air is blowing.

From Portu to Natalia Jiménez

When last week Portu nominated Samantha justifying himself in not knowing how to transmit the energy and power of a former Operation Triunfo contestant, Lorena , who also played Michael Sambello's Maniac , and that he had to have taken YouTube and drank that one interpretation, when he was not even a talent contestant, nobody understood because it was impossible to understand.

One of the essences of OT is to mark well marked the contestants who have to find their own style, their own personality, their own way of singing, and at the first exchange, having many other arguments, Portu went by peteneras and justified his decision to nominate Samantha pushing towards the copy.

He apologized within a few hours and last night he did it again. It seemed that the jury had realized that the fact that the contestants have to resemble one or the other did not fit well with the Academy . However, if they tell you twice, three that will fall. And not only that they repeated again the argument that 'as you have not done as ...' but the explanations given by those who are supposed to know and that is why they are there, there is nowhere to take them. They already screwed up, speaking in silver, by nominating Ariadne and becoming the first expelled, not because of her performance, or her voice, but because she had had a bad week at the Academy and had not been one hundred percent, and now they shit it again by nominating three of the best contestants that OT 2020 has. The first, sorry, the second with the cane .

The duo of Anajú and Javy , who played Eternal Love , and Anne , with Wicked game that he played alongside Gèrard, and Eva , who played with Hugo Waiting , were chosen by the jury to be nominated. And now we are going to put ourselves in the skin of the jury. Eva's nomination is more than understandable . He was not well in his performance and I continue to insist that either I have a hearing problem or I do not hear the performances of the gala well.

It must be that I am becoming deaf, but there are voices that I hear very loudly, others within normality and others that I directly have to put on the trumpet to be able to hear them. The last thing happened with Eva's performance last night. If I do not raise the volume of the TV to unexpected limits I do not hear the treble. So it is difficult for me to assess whether he did it well, did it wrong or made it regular in terms of tuning. As for interpretation, it was not one of his best performances .

The magic of Anne and Gèrard

The duo of Eva and Hugo did not fit, as he has not fit during the whole week. Lack of rapport between them, spark, magic, even I would say you win. They left me very cold, indifferent. But that they nominate Anne , after the piece of action she did with Gèrard is to lead a rebellion, the rebellion against the jury. His performance was simply and in a word, beautiful. Not only is that musically they were more than correct, it is that what they transmitted on stage was pure magic. But the jury did not think that Anne did not make a falsetto, which, as Noemí Galera pointed out, did not do because they told her not to. Do you know what happens? That the jury sees what he wants to see and goes as far as he goes, and when you have not soaked in the work of the kids, what they have done during the week, what they have been asked for, how they have accommodated the songs to them Well, these things happen .

"Anne, honey, it's really hard for me to tell you this because I liked the presentation a lot and it's hard for us to decide who had done it better, who had done it worse ... What I missed was what Portu said, the falsetto , which in this song is something that has to happen and you didn't do it in any of the parts of the song. For me it is one of my favorite songs and I put it on my playlist and I have it carved, but, the truth is that you are one of the artists that has grown a lot, that you have known how to defend yourself, but I am telling you that we are very heavy with things and for me and for the jury, we will have to propose you to nomination". This was the assessment of Natalia Jiménez, who left Anne completely collapsed and the public incredulous. Why? Because the public did know what they had asked Anne , because the public did know that she did not have to do the falsetto, because the public had done the work that others for what it seems they did not do.

It was Eva's turn by Javier Llano , and as much as Eva could be one of the favorites, Llano's assessment was, at least, consistent, reasonable and with the arguments that someone who knows about music has to give. Indeed, the song was not with Eva or directly Eva was not with the song , and that is to make an assessment, not to nominate someone because your song has it on your playlist and you want a falsetto, which they told you not to do, regardless cost. Well, whatever it costs, it almost loads another of the voices of this edition.

"Eva, today Hugo and you have made a song by one of the brightest new generation composers of recent years in Spain, and I would like to say that the songs touch the heart, that is the strength of music, of a composer ... Sometimes the songs tell us things that we cannot say, and the songs make us see the invisible.The singer has to capture that intention to get into action Tonight we are waiting for you to really take action. been in the song, but the song has not been in you. " I thought it was surprising and with a great companionship Eva's looks at Anne while Javier Llano valued her. Eva was more aware of Anne's suffering than what they were telling her, and it is in things like these that it is demonstrated when a contestant knows that her nomination is fair and when she is not .

Natalia Jiménez, one behind the other

And it was the turn of Natalia Jiménez , who was sown. It was up to Anajú to value and, again, without entering into whether it was Anajú's best or worst night in OT 2020, Natalia Jiménez's assessment eclipsed any kind of reason. "The song they have given you is very difficult. Eternal love is a song that Juan Gabriel wrote to his mother when he died and in Mexico it is a huge song. I sang it on my new album, he sang it in the palenques, he sang it in my performances and it is a song that as soon as the 'tananán' sounds the stadium falls, and the truth is that I don't know if I have heard this feedback here and it has made me small, the interpretation, the voices ... You have to sing with everything, with volume, with body ... You don't have to be afraid to let go of your voice . I think it has been something that has failed us and we are proposing you to leave the Academy. " More of the same, as it is a song that is in her playlist , that she sings, that she interprets, that she has in her new album, because you have to sing with the style that Natalia Jimeénez wants to sing. No, read, no, that each of the contestants have entered OT 2020 not only to learn but to enhance their style, to find it.

And I am even more surprised to say that people who know in the world in which all this moves. A world full of competitiveness in which only those who have their own style, a different style, succeed. To see copies of Natalia Jiménez , or Lorena , or any other, indeed as Noemí Galera said, I wear Your face sounds to me .

Yes, Noemí Galera gave the punches he had to take, the punches that I believe had been saved for several weeks. It is true that they only wear four finery, but the jury's work is leaving much to be desired, too. I think there are jurors who do not know what OT is and what is the purpose of this musical talent and who insist on something else that does not make much sense because nobody understands . This is not a program in which music is being molded in the image and likeness of others that already exist, this is a program to give an opportunity and to find a new talent that belongs to the music industry. Copying or doing the same as others do that is not achieved.

The blows of Noemí Galera

Noemí Galera's face in the connection after the nominations was the omen of what was going to happen. The zascas, the blows, even respecting the decisions made by the jury, were going to fall yes or yes. Well, that's Noemí Galera ! He has endured four galas and has had the patience that the public has not been able to have. See you last night "In the case of Anajú it is indeed a very difficult song, but I want to remember that we are not doing here. Your face sounds to me , we make versions, and we adapt to the voices that we have. It is true that you have been a bit out of tune and that it was not your best pass. " First blow, straight to the cheekbone of Natalia Jiménez .

Second blow, and goes by Anne : "We never ask you for a falsetto, so you have not done it. And we really liked your interpretation. We believe it has been magical." You can say higher, but not clearer. I doubt very much that Natalia Jiménez was not aware that Noemí Galera was giving her a lesson, not about music, but about what Operation Triunfo is. The Academy decided to save Anna, and thank God, while the classmates saved Eva and left Anajú and Javy as the nominees to leave the Academy . To play it again, to lose another of the greats .

Because if there is something that I do not understand and that is very difficult for me to understand, it is that no matter how much they say and repeat that the jury has no mania and no favoritism, excuse me, but last night there were performances that deserved a nomination , and were not proposed because in them was the favorite or one of the favorites. For example, Flavio .

Flavio has his own style, a very marked style that does not happen to be the joy of the garden on stage or to act as an ordago. Flavio is Flavio and when it's time to get out of Flavio he doesn't do it well , and last night he didn't do it well. Nor did Maialen, the nominee along with Nick, and the one that ended up being saved by the public. It was not good either musically or interpretively, but the jury decided to save her because she had been braver than in previous weeks. Here is something that is failing.

I do not speak of favorites, because I can assure you that I have none, but I speak of being reasonable, fair, balanced and above all knowing what is being talked about and what is being talked about. And that, in this OT 2020 , seems to be in short supply. The ban against the jury has been opened, the war has broken out.
