LOC Naiara, the favorite to win Operación Triunfo: a choni diva who 'serves pussy'
Interview Mamen Márquez, vocal coach of Operación Triunfo: "The contestants of this edition knew where they were coming from"
There was no surprise.
Naiara
from Zaragoza
became the winner of 'Operación Triunfo 2023', the twelfth edition of Gestmusic's musical talent show and the first broadcast on Prime Video, which has come to an end after fourteen galas and three months of intense coexistence and work in The academy. 49% of the audience supported her resounding victory, very far from the next classified,
Paul and Ruslana,
who achieved 26% and 25% of the votes in the final vote.
The singer, the oldest of all the finalists,
threw herself into the arms of her mother
in the stands after winning the contest and receiving the check for €100,000, a prize that adds to the €9,000 she had already achieved by becoming a favorite in three galas. different. Before her, she had highlighted in her statement that, after working for a long time in orchestras, she had discovered in the program how she wanted to sound as an artist going forward.
At the final gala of 'Operación Triunfo 2023', Naiara defended Mónica Naranjo
's song
'Sobreviviré', which allowed her to show off her vocal power again, but taking it to her field and giving it her personal touch, as she had already done in subsequent galas with songs like 'Tómame o déjame' by Mocedades or 'Despechá' by Rosalía. She also sang 'Me muero' from La Quinta Estación again, her song from Gala 0.
She was the great favorite of the night;
All the surveys carried out by fan accounts pointed to her victory and she was not wrong, even though her colleagues also had a good number of followers.
The final gala of 'Operación Triunfo 2023' started with
a reference to the past:
Chenoa, now host of the format, once again sang 'Last Dance' by Donna Summer, which she performed in 'Operación Triunfo 1', but this time with all the participants of the current edition. "I wish you twenty years of professional life because you deserve it," she told them excitedly. After the group, it was the turn of the individual performances of the six finalists, which began the charismatic
Lucas
with 'Pillowtalk' by Zayn Malik. He was followed by
Paul Thin
with 'BABY HELLO' by Rauw Alejandro and Bizarrap,
Martin
with 'Golden hour' by JVKE,
Ruslana
with 'Zombie' by The Cranberries and
Juanjo
with 'Without you' in Harry Nilsson's version.
Lola Índigo,
the first to be expelled from the 2017 edition of 'Operación Triumph', returned as a superstar to star in one of the night's intervals while the lines were closed and the votes were counted. In the first cut, with 6%, Martin was in sixth position, Lucas fifth with 7% and
Juanjo fourth with 13%.
Perhaps that fourth place for the jotero was the most unexpected result of the gala, since it was expected that he could be on the podium.
Afterwards, the three finalists sang their songs from Gala 0 again and after a second performance by a guest artist,
Ana Mena,
and another group with the "anthem" of the edition (which this time was not composed by the contestants but by one of the teachers), the climax was reached in which Naiara was crowned, who received the award from
Nia,
winner of the 2020 edition.
The contestant who had obtained
the best score from the jury in the
final evaluations of Gala 10 won and also the only one who was the public's favorite on more than one occasion. She won a girl from Zaragoza who has been natural in coexistence and a singer who has had an impeccable career in the program. Now 'Operación Triunfo 2023' ends and their careers begin.
