They are two signatures of the OT era on Prime Video: Xuso Jones and Masi Rodríguez. He is a singer who rose from YouTube, finished third in the Antena 3 show Your Face Sounds Familiar, and now hosts on Twitch while also working as a theater and dubbing actor. He has been at the forefront for a week. From One More Day, the daily live program that sums up the contestants’ day, the show welcomes the participants this evening. After the gala, the post-gala segment is submitted by Chenoa.
This Monday, Masi introduces a new post-gala space where he will chat with the contestants after the premiere. It’s a smart idea to keep them focused on their performance and to create a dedicated space for reflection, right?
Masi Rodríguez explains that this approach helps them avoid distractions. It’s crucial to react to events that may have occurred before the performance, events that can influence how an artist performs. Concentration matters, and if nerves get in the way, it can impact the result. Moving those conversations to after the gala makes them easier to handle, allowing the contestants to unwind and regain balance.
Empathy will be essential in every situation because there will be difficult moments.
Yes, it will be tough at times. Masi begins by acknowledging those who were eliminated and recognizing that fellow contestants might feel sad as well. They might cry, and that is okay. The post-gala environment is not a party; it is a space to experience whatever comes, with warmth and support.
Xuso Jones also hosts OT al día every day, sharing a more upbeat take on events from a few hours earlier. The show welcomes collaborators and artists who visit, offering a concise 45-minute recap that keeps viewers informed about what happened that day. The format invites discussion on topics, questions about why a topic resonated or not, and the moments when someone stood out during a remarkable week.
And then there is the intrigue…
X. J notes a fondness for a well-organized file and the potential for thrilling surprises within the program.
Xuso and Masi discuss how much of OT’s appeal lies in music, while the reality of seeing a variety of talents shines through. Many performers are strong singers and some move with impressive dance skills, but personal charisma is also a valuable talent.
Beyond the spotlight, the artists are ordinary people who left anonymity to share their belongings, fears, and aspirations. Their natural personalities become a key strength in the competition.
If romantic sparks fly in the Academy, that is life as well. Emotions can surface easily, and relationships may begin or fade as the journey continues.
The early years show a sense of brotherhood, with friendships forming that may last beyond the academy, even if life takes unexpected turns.
There might not be letters to send, but the connections formed in the shared experience are lasting in their own way.
Xuso did not need a competition to reveal his talent; he entered the music world through a viral video. His rise happened overnight, about 11 years ago, when a video uploaded to the networks garnered millions of views, becoming a news item. The moment was electric and unforgettable.
Masi notes how the online world shaped his path, illustrating how opportunities can emerge from content crafted with care and persistence.
Xuso acknowledges that the journey happened quickly, with both positive and challenging outcomes. He never stopped working, taking on projects of varying scales while building a living out of his art.
Masi initially wondered if online content creation was the right path, yet eventually embraced hosting, performing, and presenting as natural extensions of his love for music and performance. He found a place in the public eye and kept pushing forward.
A new TV project is on the horizon, with a series titled Berlin expected to air soon in December. The project represents another step in Masi’s career, reflecting a blend of drama and performance that aligns with his strengths.
He did not settle for any role; instead, he pursued opportunities that matched his talents, participating in a range of casting calls until one contact clicked. Now the series is moving ahead, and during its run, Masi will host the post-gala segments, delighting audiences with his warmth and energy.
Xuso praises the effort and dedication behind the work. His own schedule remains packed with OT, while he continues his podcast Poco Sespeaking, keeping it active on Sundays and Mondays off.
When asked about singing on the OT stage amid a busy schedule, Xuso says the performances will be brief but memorable. The OT experience promises many surprises that will excite viewers and keep the program lively.
Joining this new, invigorated edition feels right. It is a perfect fit to participate in this fresh format that Prime Video brings to the live experience. OT, Prime Video, and the daily post-premiere content all feel new, modern, and exciting.
Both Xuso and Masi express enthusiasm for what lies ahead and savor the chance to be part of a groundbreaking youth-focused edition that blends music, reality, and live storytelling in a seamless, compelling way.
