We are just over three weeks away from revealing the winner of OT 2023. The contestants know the clock is ticking at the Academy and they make every moment count, pushing their rehearsals and debuts to the limit as they fight for the top spot.
Naiara stands out as a strong contender for OT 2023. The Zaragoza native aims to deliver a memorable performance of the Rosalía classic Despechá, a song celebrated for its pace and emotion. Aware of the song’s demanding nature, Naiara has been immersed in intensive practice, focusing on vocal control, stage presence, and the storytelling needed to carry the audience through Monday night’s show, marking the tenth gala of the competition.
During a recent rehearsal, Naiara faced an awkward moment when a wardrobe issue arose as the performance took shape. The moment happened as the team was guiding the flow of the piece, and the cameras shifted to other areas of the academy to ensure continuity and keep the focus on the evolving routine. After a brief pause, Naiara regained her composure, and the show carried on with a light-hearted mood among the coaches and the participants. The moment was acknowledged with a gracious sense of humor, and the director and mentors quipped about the minor hiccup, preserving the positive atmosphere of the afternoon.
To prevent similar situations at such a pivotal stage of the competition, the director suggested proactive measures. Emphasis was placed on selecting costumes with secure fittings and practical designs, ensuring comfort and confidence for both the premiere and the Saturday broadcast. The guidance aimed to support the artists as they navigate challenging performances while maintaining poise and expressive delivery on stage.
