Watching the finale of OT history is a bit like watching the evolution of a country from moment to moment. An evolution that is not right. There are even corkscrew tricks. From this 2001 where We believed that with ingenuity we could all conquer the worldthrough the turbulence of Telecinco in 2008 in which we realized that the chaff left us magnetized in front of the screen (and in front of Risto Mejide) to, finally, unlearn everything reality show getting excited while admiring the youth who came with the desire to inspire in 2017. Diversity was no longer hidden and constructed. The culture was no longer snobbish and opened minds prime time.
Several years have passed, several other editions of OT have taken place and, this evening, the Operation Triumph 2025. As soon as you enter the setting it is highlighted how popularity is very different from when the talent competition was born. “Javi! Javi! Javi!” » shouts the audience before the start of the program. He is not a competitor. They applaud Javi Hoyospresenter of La 1 and one of the influencers the most popular among the youngest. He accompanies them daily with his salsas via TikTok and Instagram. And there he is, at the gala, like one more in the audience. Even if it will give particular visibility to the show from its social networks thanks to an advertising campaign.
OT 2025 is no longer measured by traditional audiences. Its relevance is linked to the noise produced by virality. The conversation generated by TikTokers is relevant for a program that is enjoying its second season in Main video. It is also Iban García, another reporter who, thanks to his speed of street improvisation, penetrated the networks.
When OT arrived in 2001, the novelty of the format was to observe how television broke with major label artists who promoted inaccessible idols. In Operation TriumphOn the other hand, the spectator transformed into shining stars people who could be their neighbors on the left. 24 years later, the fate of glory is even more democratic since Anyone with their own cell phone, luck and perseverance can make themselves known even more than through television.. Let them tell Javi Hoyos himself: he presents D Hearteven if their applause is due to the proximity of their short videos.
Ten o’clock in the evening is approaching. The cameras begin to position themselves. Chenoa greets the audience. The lights come on. Gestmusic is the leading producer of live musicals in our country. And he proves it once again. Everything is running smoothly before the contestants even break into the studio. In one of the stands, their relatives, nervous, are eager for them to act now. We are the fruit of our parents. AND Cristina’s father receives as much acclaim as Javi Hoyos when he appears backstage. Until Chenoa asks for a selfie. His spontaneity won over fans of the competition who, thanks to the networks, know more than ever the links of the participants. “If you want a show, put a Cystina in your life“The father takes the microphone, invents a slogan. He even remembers that he “put down the seed”. Laughter jumps on the stage.
And if, Cristina won with 46.3% of the vote, while Olivia came second. This Cristina who, as a child, posed in some OT 2017 signings with Ana Guerra ended up triumphing in the competition of which she was a fan. Its artistic strength was largely contrasted in a more discreet finale than the other occasions. Less pompous. Less epic. Here there was no reaction like Chenoa in OT1 with a sensitivity that came out of his face when he saw David Bisbal meeting his father. Here, I haven’t seen a cameraman be as excited as when Amaia makes hers Fear by M Clan. Before we knew that their lives had changed forever since the confetti fell on their heads, now we only know that their lives will start to change starting tomorrow depending on how they do it. Because in this OT there were great singers, but it was difficult for us to meet artists. Maybe we’ll do it on Instagram and TikTok, starting today.
