The gala evening known as OT 2023 promises a celebratory night with all the elements fans expect. The show will air live from the 22:00 hour, continuing its Monday tradition. A headline moment before the performances begins is the confirmation that Cami will join the judging panel as the fourth member, a surprise revealed on social media in the hours leading up to the event.
In this edition, the Chilean artist joins the existing panel to assess the performances, joining permanent jurors Buika, Pablo Rouss and Cris Regatero. On the decision night, Alex Marquez and Omer will also be in the spotlight as the two nominees who could face elimination after their nominations at the previous gala. The tension in the studio will ramp up as the contestants wait to see how the jury weigh their efforts against the high standards set by the panel.
Viewers will also witness the musical showcase from Morat, as the band takes the stage with one of their own performances. Naiara has earned the status of the week’s favorite nomad, a distinction she earned through performances and a story she chose to share with friends. The night offers a chance for her to connect with the audience in a new way, as she participates in a live moment that blends music and personal articulation.
Álex will perform a track from the band, bringing a sense of theatrical intrigue to the set. Omar will take the stage to deliver a rendition inspired by Joaquin Sabina, a choice steeped in tradition and storytelling through song. Fifteen contestants will come together to open the gala with a powerful ensemble performance. The group will sing Tell Me, a piece associated with Beth that marked a notable moment for Spain at Eurovision in 2003.
During the gala, the candidates will perform a curated lineup of songs that showcases a range of styles and emotional textures:
- Take me or leave me Mocedades performed by Naiara
- Unholy written by Sam Smith brought to life by Juanjo, Álvaro Mayo and Bea
- Let’s go back forever written by Take This with Lucas, Paul and Chris
- Peiname Juana from La Plazuela performed by Denna and Salma
- Negative from Van Gogh’s Ear performed by Ruslana and Martin
