When Leo was young, his mother used to tell him stories. Tall tales and legends that often included the union between two souls whether they were created together at the start of the universe, bound by the red string of fate, or destined to spend their life searching for their other half because of a god; Leo listened to them all.

As a child, he thought that kind of love was something almost magical, untouchable to never be aware of until one has found themself in the position to say ‘Ah, so this is what it means.’

His mother would sweep him off his feet, her hands hooked under his arms before she would haul him over her shoulder and run around with him pretending he could fly. And like clockwork, once they settled down with full stomachs after a heart full dinner and milkshakes for dessert, Leo would ask again.

“Do I have a soulmate?” He’d say with bright, sparkling brown eyes of smoldering ash of kindling wood in a fireplace.

His mother laughed and brushed stray curls away from his face, leaning forward to press a kiss to his forehead then cupped his face gently and replied, “Claro que si, mijo. Tenemos ma de uno. Two will be the people who will know you more than you know yourself and one will be the person you have been waiting for. No siempre están romántico, entiendes? There’s more than one type of love and for each love, there’s a soulmate.”

He didn’t understand the first time until he met Piper Mclean. She was the daughter of a famous actor, a snarky girl with a pretty smile and a heart of too much love to give. She was able to keep up with him, clicking instantly and were glued to the hip. Not a day had gone by without Piper adding fuel to the fire to keep it from extinguishing under the pressure of growing teenagers in a world made to tear them down. He only understood the first time when he and Piper met Percy Jackson.

They hadn’t gotten along at first. It was one-sided; Piper didn’t understand why crushes lined up behind him and Leo didn’t like him at all. Yet once they had found common ground, got to know who he was beneath the shallow waters, their little group of two became three then five then seven then nine.

Leo watched on the sidelines as his friends were paired up— they held hands with the people who shared half of their souls and confess to one another in public displays of affection or in the intimate privacy of taking them home after a date.

And once he least expected it, after nights in the counting weeks falling asleep easily as he pushed through the flames of jealousy dancing in his chest, he didn’t understand the second time until he met him. Met Jason Grace, a boy of blond hair and glasses that emphasized the most alluring and mesmerizing pair of clear, sky blue irises and a smile like the sun to match.

Leo felt like he could breathe fresh air after using a mask to filter the smoke, the world brightened in contrast and suddenly, every single love song he would sing with his mother made sense looking at him.

Annabeth tongued her cheek, suppressing a smile as she held her books close to her chest and shared a knowing look with Thalia who hid her snicker with a cough and subtly placed a bet down with Percy who whistled, ocean irises darting around with an air of feigned nonchalance as they stood off to the side and watched Leo and Jason.

Leo and Jason who hadn’t spoken a word to each other since they were introduced. They gazed into each other’s eyes like it was a painting for them to memorize; the specific shade of brown or blue, the hints of gold or a darker brown circling their pupils, and how their eyes would shine like a crystal if the sun hit their faces a certain way.

Jason smiled softly and held out his hand. “Jason Grace.” His voice was as gentle as he looked, a rasp and had the opportunity to be deeper in volume but he was soft spoken yet something told Leo that everything and everyone would quiet down and freeze in the moment just to listen to him speak.

Leo reciprocated the smile and took his hand. A small jolt of electricity traveled between their fingertips, down their palms and through their arms, his heart skipped a beat and he said, “Leo Valdez.”

A cantora mexicana Thalia, aos 52 anos, está de volta ao cenário musical, aderindo à moda do regional mexicano com seu novo single "Bebé, Perdón," lançado nesta quarta-feira (4). Com um arranjo moderno, a artista reacende a paixão de seus fãs pelo gênero que a consagrou no passado.

Thalia, cuja carreira incluiu sucessos inesquecíveis como "Amor a la Mexicana", lançado em 1997, retorna às baladas do seu próprio repertório, um desejo antigo dos admiradores de sua música. O videoclipe oficial da música "Bebé, Perdón" leva a assinatura de Lalo The Giant.

"Amor a la Mexicana" marcou gerações com sua beleza, força de letra e sensualidade do videoclipe. Agora, 26 anos depois, Thalia presenteia seus fãs com um novo hino que promete tocar os corações daqueles que a acompanham ao longo dos anos.

No vídeo de "Bebé, Perdón", antes de entoar as primeiras notas da música, Thalia compartilha uma mensagem inspiradora sobre coragem, esperança e resiliência, tocando corações apaixonados. Ela canta: "Você me fez sentir diferente, algo especial," e revela sua disposição de enfrentar o amor novamente.

Há cinco meses, Thal��a lançou o álbum "Mixtape, El SoundTrack de Mi Vida," no qual reinterpreta clássicos da música latina, acompanhados de emocionantes videoclipes.https://www.youtube.com/embed/qKSQm3L0XHk?si=kESAC2vPqZYm4h7C

Thalia continua fazendo sucesso no Brasil

A presença de Thalia no Brasil continua forte. Embora a novela "Rosalinda" tenha quase retornado à TV brasileira pelo SBT, a Rede Globo presta homenagem à artista em sua próxima novela das 19h, provisoriamente intitulada "A Vovó Sumiu". Na trama, uma personagem chamada Lupita, interpretada por Daphne Bozaski, será uma guatemalteca apaixonada pela cantora e virá ao Brasil em busca de uma vida melhor.

A nova novela, escrita por Daniel Ortiz, será estrelada por Arlete Salles, com a participação de Juliana Paiva, Nathalia Dill, Grace Gianoukas e Marcos Pitombo. A história gira em torno de duas gêmeas, uma das quais desaparece, reunindo seus cinco netos afastados para desvendar o mistério. Os primeiros testes de elenco ocorreram no mês passado, e a estreia está prevista para a primeira semana de março de 2024, sob a direção artística de Fred Mayrink.

Thalia, mais uma vez, demonstra sua influência duradoura na cultura latino-americana e seu poder de inspirar fãs e novas gerações, seja com sua música envolvente e mensagens tocantes ou pelas novelas que continuam fazendo sucesso pelo mundo. Com "Bebé, Perdón", ela reafirma sua posição como uma das artistas mais icônicas do cenário musical latino.

Amanda Lepore (born November 21, 1967) is a transgender American model, singer, and performance artist. A former Club Kid, she has appeared in advertising for numerous companies. Lepore is noted as a regular subject in photographer David LaChapelle's work, serving as his muse, as well as many other photographers, such as Terry Richardson and Ruben van Schalm. She participated in LaChapelle's Artists and Prostitutes 1985–2005 exhibit in New York City, where she "lived" in a voyeuristic life-sized set.

Lepore has released several singles, many written by and/or recorded with Cazwell. In 2011, she released her debut studio album, I...Amanda Lepore, on Peace Bisquit.

Amanda grew up in the Essex County community of Cedar Grove, New Jersey, with one sibling, an older brother. Her father was an Italian-American chemical engineer, and her mother was a German-American housewife. Her mother had schizophrenia and spent much time in mental institutions. Lepore later wrote that "Ever since I can first remember, I knew I was a girl. I couldn't understand why my parents were dressing me up in boys' clothing. I thought they were insane."

In her early teens, Lepore began making costumes for a transgender friend in exchange for female hormones. Having already grown isolated from her peers and schooling, her parents withdrew her from public school and hired a private tutor. They also took her to a psychologist, who helped her obtain a prescription to begin hormone therapy.

At the age of 17, and through a legal loophole, Lepore married a male bookstore owner. She was granted permission for gender affirmation surgery, which she had at age 19 in Yonkers, New York. Lepore later left her husband. In 1989, she relocated to New York City.

In the early 1990s, Lepore tried to establish herself as a nightlife figure (including being a member of the Club Kids). She supported herself by working in a nail salon, as a dominatrix, and later as a cosmetics salesgirl for Patricia Field. After meeting photographer David LaChapelle one evening while hosting at Bowery Bar, she began collaborating with him.

Modeling and acting Lepore has appeared in fashion magazines, including French Playboy, Ponytail, DAMn and TUSH. She is on the cover of Lords of Acid's 1999 album Expand Your Head and on Thighpaulsandra's 2006 album The Lepore Extrusion.

Because of her association with the Club Kids, Lepore had a cameo in the documentary Party Monster: The Shockumentary (1998) and the feature film Party Monster (2003). She can be seen briefly in the fashion spoof comedy Zoolander (2001). She was featured in the documentary Dig! (2004) and in Another Gay Sequel (2008). In 2016, Lepore had a major role in José André Sibaja's film The Zanctuary, where she played a drug dealer called Miss Divine. Other cast members included Joey Arias and Sophia Lamar, with whom she also appeared in 2018 documentary I Hate New York from Spanish director Gustavo Sanchez.

Lepore has had cameos in music videos for artists including Elton John, Thalía, The Dandy Warhols, Girl in a Coma, Grace Jones, Keanan Duffty, Sharon Needles, TIGA (for his cover of "Sunglasses at Night"), and the alt rock band The Drums (for "Days"). Lepore appears in many of Cazwell's music videos, including "Watch my Mouth" and "All Over Your Face".

She was Chief of Parade at the 2010 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in Australia.

Orgullo sobre el escenario - celebremos la diversidad en la música.

Contrario al prejuicio popular, los artistas LGBTQ+ abundan en todos los géneros musicales:  desde Elton John, Freddie Mercury y David Bowie, Dave Davies de The Kinks o Genesis P-Orridge (quien re-definió la concepción del género), llegando a Sudamérica con Ricky Martin, Leo García, Sandra Mianovich y Marilina Ross; la música queer no conoce de límites en cuanto a estilo o temática.  En este 28 de Junio, a 51 años de los disturbios de Stonewall, en Arde celebramos el orgullo destacando el rol del colectivo LGBTQ+ en la música contemporánea. 

Por Ginny Lupin.

¿Por qué el 28 de Junio?

Un 28 de Junio, pero de 1969, las calles de Nueva York eran testigos de la primer protesta liderada por el colectivo LGBTQ+ de la que existe registro.  Congregados en las puertas de Stonewall Inn, bar que servía de punto de encuentro para el colectivo; mujeres y hombres, gays, bisexuales, lesbianas, personas transgénero y demás disidencias se unieron en protesta ante la prepotencia de las - ya frecuentes - redadas policiales.  Existen muchos mitos y otras tantas realidades en cuanto a las protestas de Stonewall. ¿Quién tiró la primera piedra a la policía? ¿Existió una primera piedra? ¿Fue este evento el inicio de la lucha por los derechos del colectivo LGBTQ+?. Lo cierto es que Stonewall no fue el inicio de la lucha, sino lo que logró hacerla visible. Después de esa noche, las protestas siguieron por varios días, derivando en la creación de nuevas organizaciones e inevitablemente - la conmemoración de las primeras marchas por la diversidad, celebradas en Nueva York, Los Angeles y San Francisco hace exactamente 50 años.  En la actualidad, los desfiles y marchas se masificaron a lo largo y ancho del mundo - y aunque no se limiten exclusivamente a esta fecha (en Uruguay - por ejemplo - se celebra el último viernes de Septiembre) - Junio fue marcado a la posteridad como el Mes del Orgullo, popularmente conocido como Pride. 

¿Por qué es la comunidad LGBTQ+ tan importante en la música contemporánea?  La música es un medio de expresión, un canal que da voz - con mayor o menor alcance - a todo aquel que quiera hacer uso del mismo. Para el colectivo LGBTQ+, contar con referentes que utilicen la música abiertamente para propagar su historia y reclamos, es indispensable.  A su vez, la música es punto de encuentro. Bares drag, maricotecas, fiestas temáticas, desfiles y marchas o boliches “friendly” son lugares de pertenencia, donde la comunidad puede expresarse sin temor a represalias; y es en ese entorno que la música cobra un protagonismo innegable. “Himnos” LGBTQ+ como Born This Way de Lady Gaga, True Colors de Cindy Lauper, Vogue por Madonna, Todos me miran (Gloria Trevi) o A Quién Le Importa por Thalía - han sido consigna de encuentros a lo largo y ancho del mundo; cantados a todo pulmón por jóvenes y adultos.  Los colectivos existen históricamente como respuesta a la necesidad del ser humano de pertenecer. En el caso de las juventudes LGBTQ+ este sentido de comunidad es particularmente importante, sobretodo para aquellos jóvenes criados en ambientes hostiles y discriminatorios. Encontrarse en un artista, identificarse con una canción, verse reflejado en los medios; puede hacer la diferencia, facilitando el camino de auto-descubrimiento.  Es por eso que la relación entre el colectivo LGBTQ+ y la música es una de mutuo enriquecimiento. Artistas aportando una voz y perspectiva única, la música acercando esos referentes a quienes lo necesiten. Los oyentes, independientemente de nuestro género u orientación sexual; felices de poder atestiguar semejante intercambio. 

(algunas) Voces LGBTQ+ de las nuevas generaciones.

Laura Gene Grace La cantante y guitarrista del grupo de Punk Rock Against Me! declaró públicamente ser una mujer transgénero en Mayo de 2012, en entrevista con la revista Rolling Stone (en donde, a pesar de sus declaraciones, se refirieron a la artista con pronombres masculinos). Grace se presentó por primera vez bajo su nuevo nombre en un show de Against Me! ese mismo mes, y a partir de la fecha ha realizado diversas manifestaciones de activismo,  como la quema de su certificado de nacimiento en un show de la banda en Carolina del Norte - Mayo de 2016 - con el fin de protestar ante la ley de género referente a los baños impulsada en ese estado. 2016 fue también el año en que lanzó su autobiografía: “ Tranny: Confessions of Punk Rock's Most Infamous Anarchist Sellout.”; donde aborda su búsqueda de identidad y su carrera en la industria.

Las canadienses Tegan and Sara son, a esta altura, un clásico millennial. Gemelas, abiertamente lesbianas, referentes de la música pop alternativa y soundtrack de toda película y serie existente; las hermanas y su banda llevan adelante iniciativas de activismo desde sus inicios. Con su fundación, Tegan and Sara Foundation, buscan luchar por una mayor justicia económica, sanitaria y representativa para las mujeres en el colectivo LGBTQ+; y sus shows son, históricamente, un lugar seguro para adolescentes y jóvenes de todo género y orientación sexual.  Pioneras de esta “nueva camada” de artistas LGBTQ+, siguen igual de vigentes y activas que en sus inicios. 

A sus 25 años, Pabllo Vittar es la sensación pop del momento. Con base en Brasil y alcance internacional, fue la primer Drag Queen nominada a un Grammy (2019), y ha declarado en numerosas entrevistas su negativa a ocultar su identidad - incorporando en sus letras y presentaciones una constante militancia por los derechos del colectivo. 

Troye Sivan, también de 25 años y públicamente gay, es conocido por sus canciones y audiovisuales usualmente protagonizados por parejas LGBTQ+.  Su trilogía de videos Blue Neighbourhood - que narra la relación secreta de dos chicos adolescentes - fue particularmente aclamada por prensa y fanáticos; y su single Heaven (ft. Betty Who), acunó la célebre frase “without losing a piece of me, how do I get to Heaven?” (sin perder una parte de mi, ¿cómo llego al cielo?)  - además de incluir imágenes históricas del movimiento. Sivan fue también parte de la película Boy Erased (que narra la historia real de un chico enviado a terapia de conversión); tanto desde la actuación, como en la composición de su Soundtrack. 

En un fenómeno aún más reciente; la noruega Marie Ulven Ringheim y su proyecto girl in red - reconocida como ícono queer y soundtrack indiscutible de las mujeres lesbianas y el colectivo en general - ha logrado convertirse, con tan solo 21 años, en una de las voces más fuertes de la nueva generación de artistas en idioma ingl��s.  Es tal su alcance, que la pregunta “Do you listen to girl in red?” fue popularizada en la red social TikTok como alternativa a indagar acerca de la sexualidad de una chica. Lo cierto es que, por más que su música apunte a un público mucho más amplio, canciones como girls  y i wanna be your girlfriend han adquirido rápidamente el estatus de clásicos dentro del colectivo LGBTQ+. 

Por último, cruzamos a la vecina orilla; donde en 2019 Marilina Bertoldi ganaba el premio Gardel al Álbum del año, declarando:

“Estuve haciendo investigaciones sobre esto. La única persona que no es hombre que ha ganado este premio fue Mercedes Sosa, hace 19 años. Hoy lo gana una lesbiana.”

La cantante y compositora, (hermana menor de Lula Bertoldi cantante de Eruca Sativa), ha conquistado numerosos espacios en la industria, destacándose entre su producción sus dos discos más recientes: Sexo con Modelos (2016, mejor disco de rock en los premios Grammy Latino) y Prender Fuego - el flamante ganador del mencionado premio Gardel.  El año pasado, Bertoldi se presentó en la Marcha de la Diversidad bonaerense, invitando a Benito Cerati al escenario e interpretando juntos un tema de Virus (honrando con éste a Federico Moura, otro gran artista y referente del colectivo en el vecino país). 

En Uruguay

Julio “Kanela” Sosa El ícono del carnaval comenzó su carrera artística bordando vestidos en los cabarets. Hasta su fallecimiento en Diciembre del pasado año, renegó de su condición de “referente” - a pesar de los múltiples reconocimientos que acumulaba. Se definía “marica” (”porque gays son los de ahora”) y se manifestaba reticente a la legalización del Matrimonio Igualitario, algo que no encontraba necesario. Fue amigo de Rosa Luna y Martha Gularte, bailarín y coreógrafo; pero fue al frente de la comparsa Tronar de Tambores que se consagró en el medio local. 

Dani Umpi (Tacuarembó, 1974) es cantante, escritor, poeta, y sobretodo artista. Eterno transgresor, suele abordar en sus obras y declaraciones la perspectiva de un hombre gay nacido en el interior del Uruguay - donde los puntos de encuentro de la comunidad LGBTQ+ son mucho más escasos, por no decir inexistentes.  Reconocido por sus performance extravagantes y kitsch, muchos lo recordarán por su novela Miss Tacuarembó (2004), que fuera llevada al cine en el año 2010 con Natalia Oreiro como protagonista. 

En este 28 de Junio, a 50 años del inicio de las marchas por la diversidad multitudinarias a nivel mundial; celebremos al colectivo LGBTQ+ en todas sus presentaciones, colores y sonidos. Por más playlists, festivales y escenarios inclusivos - con el deseo constante de que no exista lugar para la discriminación dentro de la música.

Thalía & Lali Discuss How Collaboration 'Lindo Pero Bruto' Spotlights A 'Feminine World Taking Over'

For as impactful and invigorating the recent Latin-music resurgence has been on the mainstream scene, the fact remains that its gender representation has been somewhat lopsided. While there are promising signs of female Latinx talent gaining greater prominence, the most well-known songs, collaborations and perspectives have been largely told by men. This makes a song like "Lindo Pero Bruto," a playful-yet-powerful reggaeton throbber by Thalía and Lali, all the more important.

Revealed originally as a standout track on Thalía's Valiente album in November, "Lindo Pero Bruto" gained a wave of new interest thanks to its official music release starring the Latina legend and her Argentinian singer-actress collaborator as mad scientists who turn plastic, Ken-esque dolls into superhunks that are, as their song title indicates, pretty but dumb. The candy-colored visual has garnered more than 25 million views since its reveal, but all its response has not been positive as some found the release man-bashing. But according to Thalía, any negativity comes as a result as how people—namely men��see the world, not from their message.

"I think everybody reacts to this song the way they see life and the way they portray themselves," the songstress explains during a press junket with Lali in New York. "To us, it's having fun. To us, it's talking about something every girl talks about. It's a little bit of the opposite of years and years and years of the men talking down to women. Right now, it's 100% clear that women are stronger, women are raising voices—it's a global mobilization of a feminine world taking over."

Lali echoes that sentiment, saying that songs and visuals like these are important for all fans, regardless of gender. "I think Thalía and I we both agree we need to be responsible—we both have huge audiences, little girls, women, men, and it’s important to speak to all of them," she says. "For me that's very important. What do you wanna say? What do you wanna show? What’s the power behind your message and your image? This pop music we have in our hearts opens up a space for that, for a sound that’s for everyone. I love to be able to pass that on."

Laughing the entire time together while surrounded by pink balloons and cupcakes in champagne bottles during their junket, the women expanded on their thoughts to Forbes sharing their excitement for all reactions to the video, what they feel their team-up represents for women and Latin music at large, and how the scene can keep growing in 2019. All throughout, the superstars delivered each thought-out answer with poise, confidence and smiles—purposeful details that the women further expanded on later in our chat.

Jeff Benjamin: Congratulations on the video—it earned more than three million views in its first 24 hours and continues to gain interest. First off, how does that feel?

Thalía: Oh my god, how does that feel? Like a dream come true. Every time that you put out a song or video, you put your heart in there. All the illusions, all the stars in your eyes, all your dreams and then you find a positive response? It's phenomenal. And it's been so quick!

Benjamin: I heard you were very involved in the visual and had this vision for awhile.

Thalía: I had it for a long time and I always wanted to do a video inspired by the '80s movie Weird Science and I always wanted to create my own doll. [Laughs] And bring it to a plastic-fantastic, neon-pink-blue-world candyland. When I heard this song, I thought "boom!" the idea for so many years has landed! And I asked Lali, she said yes, and that completed the circle...it had to be playful and it had to be done in a way where you're laughing in this plastic world. No matter if people take it seriously or not, or intention is to say it­ and then we'll have fun. Even the hashtags have been crazy, #LindoPeroBruto, cute but stupid, and they put their #lindoperobruto friends or their handles. It's so cute and it's been happening since Day 1.

Benjamin: Who chose who wore what wigs?

Lali: She told me. [Laughs] She told me everything, like "This and this and this and this" and I said, "Great!"

Thalía: And she said yes! That's the best thing. Other people would say, "You know what...is this really a good look for me?"

Lali: No! I was happy! Happy, happy, happy.

Benjamin: Were you at all worried about the response the video and its message would get?

Thalía: Never. I thought the market needed something colorful and fun. Everything is kind of similar, to me, the videos look the same right now. I just wanted to have fun.

Benjamin: I was kind of surprised you needed to respond to negative responses. Why do you think that male response speaks to?

Thalía: This is a historical moment in time. All these platforms—phones, YouTube, social media—have been exposing the way women have been feeling for so many years and those voices are finding their own echo, their own tribe, their own plan. One girl talks about religion and "boom!" one audience finds that and talk to each other and we protect each other. Politically, the same way. Musically, the same way too. Right now, Latin music is in its best moment; it's global. It doesn't have to be—well, I remember the last Latin explosion with Shakira, Marc Anthony, Ricky [Martin], Enrique [Iglesias]…

Lali: You!

Thalia: [Laughs] Yes, but we had to sing in English. We had to sing in English with a "Latin flavor." Now, everything is sung in Spanish and some collabs are in English and Spanish too. I think it's a very important moment right now.

Lali: In my country, 70 years ago women were not able to vote. That’s not a tiny detail, it was not a long time ago...the evolution, and how today we’re able to talk, how we can say what we want, and I just go and confront you whenever I want. My mom always told me, "You can say anything you want to anyone. The president, anyone, as long as you're respectful." As long as we say it with integrity, with strength and with respect. And that drives people crazy! Being able to say something with respect—

Thalía: and with intelligence!

Lali: They’re like: "What did she say? What did she say?" And I’m like, "Yes I said that right."

Benjamin: Lali, I loved a moment for you last year where you, Becky G and Leslie Grace all jumped on the remix to Mau y Ricky and Karol G's "Mi Mala." It felt really important that four women came together to make the song a bigger hit.

Lali: Right now, women's presence is important. It's not the same if we don’t have an opinion and add female strength to the mix. It’s always been like that to be honest, but there was no place or space for it in the past.

Thalía: It has a place now, it has a platform. Girls express themselves now. Like Cardi B, whatever she says she just says that. She just says it! Same as Natti Natasha, Karol [G], Becky G, us. I think it's a moment where everybody has to just be themselves.

Benjamin: How does Latin music keep growing in 2019?

Thalía: I think it's here to stay. I think it's a really strong movement, musically, and the rhythm is very contagious. You hear urban sounds, you feel good, and then mixed with other genres like our pop world or salsa, it's fun and cool....I think it's a moment of union. Like how Beyoncé jumped on J Balvin's song, and it was so cool, right? What's happening right now is about fusion between different cultures, different languages, different mentalities. And it's OK! Everyone's so open to change, to listen to new things and learn from that.

Lali: And this right here: Well-known artists with great careers are listening and watching to the newest artists and saying, "I wanna work together." And then the possibility of actually working together comes up. And people sees us together and think, "This actually works, this is good."

Segunda gala de 'OT’: primer expulsado, DJ Wally López de jurado y la banda colombiana Morat

Operación Triunfo 2017 vivirá este lunes una intensa segunda gala llena de emociones con la primera expulsión del talent show: Ricky y Mimi tendrán que convencer al público de que merecen seguir en la Academia con sus actuaciones en solitario. Además, el programa presentado por Roberto Leal recibirá la visita de la banda colombiana Morat, que interpretará un tema junto a Cepeda, uno de los concursantes de esta edición; y tendrá como cuarto jurado al DJ, productor y locutor de radio Wally López.

Mimi cantará A-yo de Lady Gaga, mientras que Ricky ha elegido la canción One song Glory, del musical Rent. El resto de concursantes afrontarán también nuevos retos. Míriam y Roi interpretarán Malibú, de Miley Cyrus; Ana Guerra y Amaia, Todas las flores de Presuntos Implicados; Mireya y Marina cantarán Sentir, de Luz Casal; Aitana y Agoney, Can’t stop the feeling, de Justin Timberlake; Cepeda y Juan Antonio, Reggaetón lento de Cnco; Alfred y Raoul, Everytime you go away, de Paul Young; y Nerea y Thalía, la versión de Leslie Grace de Will you still love me tomorrow. Además, los concursantes cantarán conjuntamente Te quiero, de José Luis Perales.

Tras las actuaciones se conocerá el nombre del favorito del público (votado a través de la App oficial), que no podrá ser nominado. El jurado valorará al resto de los concursantes y propondrá a cuatro para abandonar la Academia. El claustro de profesores y los concursantes salvarán a dos. Los otros dos quedarán en manos del público y tendrán que convencer a los espectadores en solitario en la siguiente gala. Se puede votar mediante la app, las llamadas telefónicas y los sms.
