The new edition of Operación Triunfo is giving a lot to talk about. Although it is not so easy to assess its success because it is not broadcast openly and audiences are measured differently, OT 2023 has become a phenomenon and has taken over the social conversation in recent weeks.
After a break for Christmas in which the young contestants of the talent show were able to go home to celebrate Christmas Eve with their families and loved ones, yesterday the fifth gala of the program was held, which dueled two very beloved nominees inside the academy: Salma and Álex.
After performing and demonstrating her great talent with a beautiful version of Camela’s When Love Sails, Salma was the least voted by the public and left the singing competition. Álex managed to save himself from elimination for the second time by gathering more than enough 60.3% of the votes.
Despite his daily effort and his hundreds of rehearsals to give the best version of himself, the judges once again proposed the young man from Córdoba to leave the academy and neither the teachers nor his classmates saved him, so this week he is nominated again next to Paul.
The label of the ”eternal nominee” and the fact that the jury does not like his performances as much as those of the rest of his colleagues have caused social networks to compare him with Luis Cepeda, an OT 2017 contestant who was nominated a total of six times.
Although Álex has so far half the number of nominations that the singer of Por ti estaré, Si tú existeneras or Damediela and had the support of teachers to cross the catwalk on the first occasion, fans of the musical format have not been able Avoid making comparisons, memes and funny comments about singers on social networks such as Instagram, TikTok or X (previously known as Twitter).
After yesterday’s gala, a user of the social network X uploaded a photo of the two artists and wrote a phrase in a comical tone: ”Find the 0 differences”. In addition to receiving countless comments, reactions and ‘likes’, the content creator was surprised by Cepeda’s response, who took the publication with a lot of humor and answered in a simple and humorous way: ”He’s much more handsome.” ‘.
