Quime,
I don't agree with you, I think most of these kids do have a lot of charisma, it's just that last year's show was such an enourmous hit and everybody put those participants in such a high 'pedestal'.
I'm beginning to like this year's show more and more, although I'm worried that says something about possible masochistic tendencies, since I like it better when the show makes me cry a lot!
. I was specially moved last week when Marey and Dani Ubeda had to part....they make such a cute couple! (I know, I know, I'm hopeless! :o ).
It's true that less people are watching the show this time around, so it's less fun to "gossip" about it at the office, I fear that some of last year's viewers are maybe following Big Brother instead, who knows....
But, I promised Shawn to report on the shows developments, and here is a quick update:
-Shawn sorry, but I'm afraid your 'chavalita preferida' Tessa, is about to leave the academy on Monday, since she's been nominated along a super-hunky 'sevillano' named Hugo; it's her third or fourth nomination, and it's his first.
-I can't believe Vega is still around, she is an absolute BEAUTY, but her attitude....she is either sad or mad, crying ALL THE TIME over everything, she doesn't seem to be enjoying the experience, so....besides, she has a nice voice, but so little!, her voice is very "weak", she is 'afonica' most of the time (mmm, maybe because she cries so much?).
-On the contrary, it bothers me that Cristy was sent home, she has a great talent to sing M.Carey-W.Houston-type songs, but most of all, she is a superb 'flamenquito' singer and performer; she was a lot of fun when she was around, tremendously witty, with lots of 'gracia andaluza'.
-I really don't know who I want to win this year's edition, since I'm a big fan of:
Beth, Elena G., Manuel C. and Nandez....
I'll admit that I don't like Ainhoa, and was happy to see Enrique Anaut go (so egotistical).
-Some of this year's visitors to the academy so far have included:
Maria Carey(incredibly snotty), Christina Aguilera, Armando Manzanero, Noa, Pancho Cespedes, Phil Collins, Antonio Canales(the dancer), Paul Carrack, Anastacia, Kenny G.(Beth sung his latest song with him)....also, either Ainhoa, Nika or Elena, are going to record a song with Santana.
-Of course, the kids have already composed and are working on their very own song (equivalent to last year's 'A tu lado me siento segurooo....') and on an special X-mas album as well.
Well, that's all for now. Shawn we miss you over here
