audiences “Journey with Chester” they witnessed the highly anticipated meeting of ‘Operación Triunfo’ followers last night. Risto Mejide And Esther Aranda 15 years later they saw their faces again “OT 2008”one of the most controversial editions of the talent show due to the then-judgment’s harsh assessment of the contestants.
Specifically, Esther was one of those who had gone through the worst. Malagueña was on everyone’s lips when she sang ‘Las de la intuición’ by Shakira at Gala 1. A performance cataloged by Risto as: “worst in program history”. From then on, his attacks on the competitor escalated until he was the fifth to be kicked out.
Last night, at the Cuatro venue, Risto tried to explain his stance on the program broadcast by Telecinco: “I I hated this format with all my might and I told the producers before I went in. “I said that if I went, I would say everything I thought about everything, and that didn’t turn out well.” During the three editions I was there, my motivation was to go to the program. Do you not, my enemies, whether you believe it or find it hard to believe,” she assured Esther.
Proof of this is in Risto’s own words, who confronted the show’s top executives: “I’m not exactly talking to the two executive producers because there was a very strong conflict with them and also with the presenter.” “I was going for the format,” he insisted.
“But why are you involved in a project or doing something that you don’t like and hate?” Esther asked the presenter, and she answered firmly: “To destroy. It wasn’t so bad for me. Where is the Operación Triunfo?”. “He continued on another chain,” the singer recalled as Risto settled in: “That’s it.”
Risto looked into Esther’s eyes to apologize after admitting that the contestants were targeting “collateral victims”: “For the avoidance of any doubt, at least I apologize for anything that might have hurt you.”
Although he accepted the apology, he admitted that he had a very bad time at that time in his life: “I didn’t have to put up with people booing on air, When I left OT, people would point at me and say, ‘This is the bad singer. I was embarrassed”. “I didn’t want to sing anywhere, but I still studied hard,” he assured in “Chester.”
