It will not be a regular edition of Got Talent. Telecinco premieres this Saturday at 10 p.m. a premium version that brings together the best international performances of the format, Got Talent: All-Stars, and which is produced for the first time outside the United States after its premiere on NBC last January. Santi Millán once again acts as master of ceremonies while Edurne, Paula Echevarría and Risto Mejide make up the jury for a season that will feature guest judges such as Fernando Tejero (the first, today), Leo Harlem, Jorge Blass, Carlos Areces, Dani Fernández , Luis Zahera and TheGrefg.
Winners, finalists and viral talent from different versions of Got Talent from around the world will take the stage of the new show that will take place over six audition shows and a final. Each audition will have twelve performances from different artistic disciplines, but only two of them will be able to go directly to the final: one of them for the Golden Pass of the invited judge and the other chosen by one of the judges among the three most voted by the public of the dish. At each audition this important decision will fall on one of them. In the final, the jury will issue their evaluations, but it will only be the audience on the set who will determine the identity of the winner with their votes.
And from which countries do the participants come? "I could tell you about those who don't come," jokes the presenter Santi Millán. “Risto Mejide defined Got Talent: All Stars very well. It's the Talent Olympics. They come from India, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Ukraine, Japan...it's like the UN", continues the presenter who points out some of the participants: "Tape Face has come, which mimes comedy very simply but that hooks you and became very viral; the winner of the World Magic Championship, who is Taiwanese; some Indians who dance but not in the Bollywood style and leave you crazy; some Russians who balance on stairs, knives included, and that is the only performance that I have not been able to finish seeing in the years that I have been in this program…”.
Millán also highlights the contribution of that fourth rotating member of the jury who discovers how different it is to watch the program at home than from the set. “Once seated at the table, you have the responsibility and you realize how circumstances such as empathizing with the contestants or the fact of experiencing it live condition, because talent has a technical part but also a very important emotional part with which you connect”, comments Millán.
With eight seasons of Got Talent under his belt, the presenter confesses that his biggest concern when he hosts the program is that "the contestants end up having the best possible experience" and that "nerves or responsibility do not condition them." In the All Stars version it is different because all the participants have already lived that experience in their country, "but in the normal Got Talent, in many cases it is the first time they have gone on stage and what I want and desire is that when the performance ends, regardless of how it turned out, they will be aware that they have surely had a unique experience and, above all, that it is a positive experience for them”.
