Sanity and resilience take center stage as conversations around Benidorm Fest gain traction across social media and mainstream outlets. The event’s latest edition once again sparked intense discussion after a pair of contestants failed to progress beyond the semi finals on Tuesday night. The atmosphere was charged, and the mood among the participants shifted from disappointment to a broader conversation about the impact of online feedback on mental health.
Earlier, a press conference with the finalists and the host revealed a pressing moment. Two teenagers who did not reach the finals opened up, sobbing as they recalled the barrage of negative messages received on social networks. The moment highlighted a shared struggle and the emotional toll of online harassment on young performers who strive to showcase their talents on a big stage.
One contestant spoke about the flood of hateful comments and expressed a wish for a shift in audience behavior. The plea was simple: support rather than attack, and protect the mental health of the next group of Benidorm Fest contestants. The remark came from a participant who admitted facing tough times and then paused the microphone to gather themselves, a candid moment that resonated with many watching. The sentiment was echoed by a sister who found comfort in a hug as her sibling faced the pressures of instant online scrutiny.
Despite the pain of the moment, there was a clear sign of pride in the voices present. Yet the reality of harsh and devastating commentary weighed heavily on all involved, reminding audiences that fame can come with a heavy emotional price. The event underscored a universal truth: public figures with and without large followings are not immune to criticism, and compassionate responses matter more than ever.

Agoney gave hate a name: Malbert
Although the actual name was not directly named, several observers interpreted some contestants’ remarks as a critique of a well-known online figure. Malbert, a prominent content creator, has been the subject of discussion as fans and critics debated the influence of commentary on public perception during the festival.
One singer was asked if they were prepared for a wave of criticism as the favourite. The reply emphasized personal focus and responsibility, noting that those who spread hate on social networks should be mindful of their own impact. The response suggested that the platform itself is prone to noise, and the artist preferred to maintain concentration on performance rather than engage in online battles.
“In this space, the conversation sometimes veers into controversy. Is there someone behind the scenes guiding the discourse?” one observer asked with a hint of irony. The scene reflected a broader dynamic where online discourse can amplify tensions during high-stakes events.

The conversation turned toward lessons about online conduct. A participant urged that anyone visiting the event should be treated with respect and that certain voices should not be amplified. The stance was clear: some individuals choose not to grant a platform to voices that promote hostility. The overall message remained consistent: art and performance deserve attention, not vilification.
Amid the online chatter, some supporters tried to frame the narrative through a more forgiving lens. They acknowledged that while not everyone will agree with a particular artist, it does not justify cruelty or harassment. The conversation continued to some degree on social networks, even as participants urged a more constructive approach to criticism and celebration alike.

The latest exchanges prompted a reflective mood about the role of public performance in a connected world. The dialogue suggested that the essence of the event is about music and show, and the need to maintain respect in every discussion. What matters most, some argued, is the art itself and the experience of live performance, not the noise surrounding it. The moment provided a reminder that messages of support carry as much weight as critiques, and that a sense of community can emerge even amid controversy.
