Some ‘OT 2023’ contestants have participated in many talent shows before venturing into musical talents. For example, most followers of the format knew about Juanjo’s career but not Lucas. He assured this Monday that: He refused to participate in the next edition of the Benidorm Festival in order to enter the Academy directed by Noemí Galera.
This announcement took place during breakfast at the Academy this Monday. The Uruguayan actor made this confession while sharing a table with some of his colleagues, including Paul, Álvaro Mayo, Bea, Chris and Ruslana, and revealed that he was very clear when this artistic and professional dilemma was presented to him.
“They invited me to the Benidorm Festival during the month I was waiting here, I said no because it was ‘too much’. Lucas defended his decision because the TVE music competition was “only once”, saying, “They told me if it’s Benidorm Fest, it’ll be Benidorm Fest, not ‘Operación Triunfo’.”
Coincidence also means that in this edition of ‘Operation Victory’ a situation completely opposite to Lucas’s exists. At the end of last September, we learned that XeinnFinalist of the first edition of ‘Benidorm Fest’, was in the final stages of casting Musical talents on Prime Video.
The ‘Eco’ singer qualified for the final screening by performing her own versions of Miley Cyrus’ ‘Flowers’ and Rosalia’s ‘Fame’ and The Weekend in the final lineup. Finally, he was not selected to enter the ‘OT 2023’ Academy.
