The Signing (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Not Just Another Love Song - full transcript
Mila...
you were so close.
Monique...
your contract has been terminated.
Thank you all, I'm really grateful.
Thank you for the opportunity.
Listen, I actually wanted you to stay.
And I think the judges' decision
to put you in this position...
I think it will help you with the next...
the next performance.
So come back stronger.
I'll come back stronger next time.
I never thought I'd leave Miami so soon.
When Lex tore up my contract,
he broke my heart.
I'll keep making music and...
Well, you have to go on.
Of course I would've liked
to stay a bit longer.
The judges didn't love my diction.
It wasn't very good,
but I've always said
I don't have a plan B.
I'm going to make music until I die,
so either I die or I slay.
It was really hard to eliminate two today.
But I mean,
this is the life of an artist.
This is The Signing.
We're looking for
the best artist in the world.
THE SIGNING
They need to make their mark,
find out who they are,
what their sound is, what their voice is.
Because it's very easy to be
swayed one way, to emulate what you hear,
and go for what's easiest.
With The Signing, I'm looking
for some of that authenticity.
I think that'll be the most important
thing, win or lose.
Didn't you see I cried yesterday?
I wanted to cry when...
when I saw Mila up there.
I got nervous, like it was me
who was being disqualified.
My heart literally... I started...
Like, "That could be me," you know?
Like, nobody here is really safe.
Back home, I'm a teacher.
My students are something else.
They all trust me deeply.
It's really gratifying to see
the kids identifying with you.
How they support everything you do,
and how I can do my part
and bring a few kernels of wisdom
to the exchange of ideas that we have.
Many of them want to become singers
and believe there's no chance.
And I'd like for them to see me
really nailing it on this show,
because their teacher is showing them
you can be whoever you want.
That there's no age limit
for living your dream,
and that if you want to work hard,
you'll triumph and be the best
at what you do.
THE SIGNING HOUSE
How are you? Okay?
Come over here so we can talk for a bit.
First, I want to know how you all felt
the first time you sang,
what the experience was like for you.
How was it for you?
I was really nervous, it was
my third time being on stage.
And I think it showed,
but let's see how I do this time around.
I felt like I didn't give it 100%.
And, also, reggaeton...
I don't know, I do regional music, so...
I mean, we have to adapt.
But don't drop your style because,
I mean, it's really important.
Because, I don't know...
Let's say you win, great.
You win and get signed,
but it's for what you did on the show,
-and not what you want to do.
-Sure.
So I think it's good
to make songs that fit you.
Sure.
What about you?
You looked very chill.
But what was going on inside
was different.
Yes, I was very nervous.
I was pretty calm the day before,
but before going on,
it was like, bam!
I have to do a good job onstage,
represent my country.
But, anyway, here we are and we're
learning from the mistakes we made.
Right, but I don't think
they're mistakes, it's like...
You know the first time going onstage,
singing in front of judges
is going to get to you,
and that's super hard.
I know there will be nerves, but use them
to push yourself to 100% on that stage.
So that's it, guys, nice to see you.
Onwards and upwards!
It's really nice to hear
how one of the judges thinks,
because, at the end of the day,
they're analyzing you top to bottom.
I'm 21 years old.
I started making music two years ago.
Practically from scratch, you know?
So I really relate to the contestants
who come in, stand there, and say,
"I'm here to show you who I am
and see what happens."
THE SIGNING HOUSE
You have silicone in your chest, right?
I'm...
For real, dude.
No. I've just been working on them
since I was a kid.
Botox. Yeah.
Hey! Everybody up!
Your trainer Rauw Alejandro is here.
Let's go!
Come on, everybody get up!
Come on, guys!
Get up!
Come on, get up.
Three minutes.
Get up!
You have one minute to come downstairs,
or everyone's disqualified.
Rauw is here, I mean, he's literally here.
Seeing Rauw Alejandro was like... Okay.
NASHY-NASHAI, 20
It was fun.
As you know,
we saw that a few of you ended up a bit...
breathless during the first performance.
It's happened to me.
But, train physically every day.
Dedication is what you'll need
when you're on tour.
And you have to do cardio,
physical activity.
There are 650 shows from June to June.
Going everywhere. So, okay.
This is my bro Jorge.
-Personal trainer.
-Hello, how are you?
He'll be making you sweat a little.
I've been training celebrities
for almost ten years,
preparing them for their shows,
for their concerts, and so on.
As you know, it requires
a lot of physical and mental energy
to give your all on stage.
So it's important to make this
a lifestyle, a habit.
So...
-Let's do this.
-To the top.
I hate exercising
with every fiber of my being.
I don't enjoy it.
-Gigi, you're talking a lot. Mila.
-Let's go.
Stefano won't take his sunglasses off.
Car!
We made a track.
Five. Let's go.
We trained for like 30 or 40 minutes,
I think.
I'm going to play a song.
And while you exercise, you have to sing.
I like the smell of your hair
I can't hear you.
What you make me feel
Okay. With your chest, with your heart.
I want to wake up with you
Do it after a smoke
I have nothing to look for
Gigi, I don't see you singing along!
Accelerate my pulse
I mean, you get to a point where...
My pulse
I mean, I was dead.
We're done with training.
You need to do this every day
to get in shape to perform on stage.
Doing it here reflects... If you feel
like you can't, just keep going.
This will help you
in your careers and personal lives.
So a round of applause!
It's a very tough career.
If you're not in good shape
you won't withstand the pressure.
Then that goes up here.
And that's a whole other thing, too.
Mentally, it's different.
Having 100% control
over your body will help you do anything
at any given moment.
MUSIC
At the end of the day,
what's most important to me is your work.
That you work no matter how tired you are,
even if you've reached your limit.
Being able to work
is what's going to distinguish you
from someone who has all the talent
in the world. You can do it, too.
-We're trying to educate...
-No, it's just that I...
She said she'll teach people
how to say hello.
Who doesn't know? Tell us.
Say it! Tell us.
Do you think that someone here
doesn't know how to say hello?
-I don't know.
-You don't know who?
-This topic is dead.
-This girl will tell you who it is.
Okay.
-Tell us.
-No hard feelings,
but it really bothers me when
someone I live with doesn't say hello.
You just said it in a nice way,
but yesterday...
Yes, Wanda doesn't say hi
and it makes me angry.
-Because...
-She said her name. Wanda.
Yes.
-Oh, she doesn't say hi?
-No.
Not to me.
Not to you either. Don't deny it.
I'm quite affectionate, so I'm there
fraternizing, I love them a lot.
But it's not like...
"Damn you, you're going to lose,
I'll beat you." No.
I've always had a small group of friends.
I was never the type of person
to have, I don't know,
let's say,
a huge birthday party, you know?
It was always just the closest people.
Two or three friends,
my mom, and my brother.
I don't think I have
a very special connection
with the group
I've met here at The Signing.
Maybe because I'm doing my own thing
and not paying attention to other stuff.
Seduce me. With your song.
-We got a message.
-Ooh.
Fuck, it's Tainy.
Okay, studio day today.
Now you're going to start working
with producers professionally.
The fun part's about to begin.
-So we have a session now.
-Yes. Let's go.
I have to change.
So, this is how we look from afar.
I mean, not in closeup.
No, watch how the look changes.
That's a lot.
-Colombian... goddess.
-I am.
I'm a backup singer, I accompany artists.
I've been doing that for a few years.
I've worked with Karol G.
I was able to make the leap from being
the girl who would sing at weddings,
to singing every day
in places all over the world.
But I've always sung behind somebody else.
I love what I do. I really love it.
But I think I'm past that point.
I feel like it's time
for me to shine on my own.
I'm not backup anymore.
It's a big step toward
who Nati Boulier is as an artist.
I manage to make you mine
It's all in my dream
What makes The Signing unique is that
it's supporting these kids from the start.
We're having them write and compose.
REBEL 11 STUDIOS
What's up? Are we ready?
How are we doing? Are we ready to start?
This is the studio.
Here's where we'll be working every day
to find your sound
and see how we can elevate
each one of your sounds every day.
To achieve that, we've partnered
you with a team of producers
who are not only great friends of mine,
but work collaborators.
Here they are, Gaby Morales,
Albert Hype, The Rudeboyz,
Elena Rose,
Jota Rosa.
They're the best the industry
has to offer right now.
So, to start, for your first challenge
and your first song,
we want you to use the subject of love.
You can use personal experiences.
That's how it comes naturally.
At the end of the day, love is a feeling,
it's something we feel deep inside.
So I want that
to be conveyed in the music.
The subject of love is much more sincere
and it comes across more genuinely
when it's your own experience.
I still can't believe I'm leaving
for Miami in less than a week.
You'll hook up with someone.
-For sure.
-If you say so.
-Yes.
-You'll get there and...
You'll like somebody.
I mean, I'm going to...
-Don't lie.
-Alright. No, but...
I'm a very positive person,
I always live my life with good vibes.
Regarding my style, my image, I feel like...
what you see is a person who is a rebel,
who's cool.
I don't want to say "vain," but...
I take care of myself.
Being an artist in Peru is tough.
Mainly because the country
has its limitations.
I feel like it's developing,
but we need to bring in foreign ideas
and be seen abroad.
I think this is a chance I have to take,
to get out of the country,
to be with big producers,
to be with big artists...
And if I achieve things,
to try to open doors
for some friends
and the Peruvian music scene.
My biggest challenge
on The Signing will be
getting to the final.
REBEL 11 STUDIOS
The key to a good love song is the ability
to say "I love you" without saying it.
If you're about to write a love song,
make it real.
When you write,
write what the heart really feels.
Songs that are about pure love,
from the heart.
It's good to let out that heartbreak,
that sadness.
It doesn't matter if it's raw,
explicit, clean, or romantic.
We've all gone through situations
where we've suffered.
Love is needed.
The new generation don't
operate this way.
Love doesn't exist.
-What's up? How are you? All good?
-All good.
Albert Hype is going to work
on a song with me.
He's a pretty big producer.
He's worked with artists
who I love and admire very much.
Working with someone like Jota Rosa
makes me a little nervous
because he's produced
a lot of my favorite songs.
-Do you like it?
-Yes.
In the end it'll be a little more...
I feel like this challenge
will be kinda hard.
It looks easy, but I think it'll be hard
because we have to talk about love.
And love is a pretty broad subject.
I like it more,
all low, like, "plain."
I think of you
I'm mesmerized
I think of you
I'm mesmerized
Yeah!
There's nobody like you
I'm using a phrase from a song by Rauw.
I hope he likes it.
And one part goes...
Feeling down like Rauw
One of the things that happened was
one of the judges, Rauw,
got up on the stage and told me...
It's a sexy song. So you have to project
sexiness, you get me? So then...
...what he expected from me
in terms of movement and so on.
I think I'm worried
because it's a song that...
Well, it's sad.
I don't think I'll have as much trouble
with how I present myself onstage.
Let's leave it open
and see what happens.
-An experiment.
-Perfect, yes.
I know there'll never be
A you and me again
Never say never
But I'll say it
I don't know...
There, stop, I want to practice. Hello.
I don't know if the wound healed
It has to be clearer.
I don't know if...
I can't say it.
I'm sorry.
We tend to want to be perfect all the time
and for everything to turn out well.
And
we also feel the pressure, like,
"I'm racing against time, I only have
two hours to make this sound good."
And maybe there's just
nothing coming from the heart.
Welcome to the second night
of The Signing!
With you tonight, Tainy!
Yandel!
Nicki Nicole!
Rauw Alejandro!
And Lex Borrero!
How are my judges doing?
-Happy.
-Good.
The Signing has started!
Right now I feel fine, I feel prepared.
I'm ready to go out there and kill it.
And now, Rmand!
I heard you don't drink anymore
You don't go out on the weekends
I think of you
I'm mesmerized
I know we haven't spoken in a while
But
But I wonder
"Where are you?"
I drive around Malibu
Without you the beach feels cold
You're not here and it's my fault
I also heard you're asking about me
I'm sorry but I don't deserve you baby
Although the photo and the videos
I didn't delete
All I have left of you
Is your memory
In your name
I opened another bottle
Your love and me
Are no longer compatible
And although your lips kiss another bro
I just wonder
"Where are you?"
I just wonder
"Where are you?"
Thank you, my people.
Incredible. What did the audience think?
Thanks.
I loved the song.
I loved the melodies,
I loved that you enjoyed the song.
-It was 100% impeccable, my friend.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
You know, last time I told you
you're an amazing writer,
but you needed to become an artist.
Today you're an artist.
Thanks.
What you did today was perfect
and I have nothing bad to say.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Listen, if Lex,
the man who notices everything,
didn't say anything,
I think... bro, you're already a star,
you know? I see you as an artist.
I don't know what to say, really. Thanks.
Thank you, my people!
-This competition's going to be tough.
-Yeah. The final is going to be hard.
This song is inspired by
my own experience.
A few months ago,
I ended a relationship. It's about that.
Gigi Saldaña from Río Grande, Puerto Rico!
What's not important dies
"TIME MACHINE"
Now I must live my life
I no longer need your stories
I'm sorry baby
For what you did to me
I now need to heal the wounds
Your sky is about to fail
I put an end to your tale
I'm the one who came off clean
Get into your time machine
Alive, you can't hurt me any longer
My self-esteem is stronger
I cried so much for you, boy
It doesn't hurt anymore
I smoke a little blunt
To keep me high
I'm not here for you, boy
Bye
Your sky is about to fail
I put an end to your tale
I like this one a lot.
I'm the one who came off clean
Get into your time machine
Here we go!
You came up with a style...
It was out of this world, something else.
Congrats, good job.
Sick. Thanks.
For me, I still feel
that the song lyrics are very generic.
I have yet to discover
who Gigi is, the artist.
-Those lyrics, that presence.
-That song is good.
-That song is good.
-It was good.
Thank you.
You screwed up badly, bro.
Let's welcome to the stage,
coming directly from Lima, Peru,
Stefano Toller!
We have a great connection
"CHEMISTRY"
There are many loves
But this one is another dimension
Where I've never been lifted,
Baby you've got me addicted
Where I've never been lifted
They call it chemistry
What you and I have
I always want more when we do it
You've got me high
Like in Dubai
Yeah
I don't know if it's her ass
But that body's deadly
Light two blunts
And my landscape is painted
Your mom met me and gave me her blessing
An ass is necessary
That's my downfall
Shorty, we always do it like animals
We never want it to end
We have chemistry
Our bodies aren't the same
May my baby free me
And heal my wounds
They call it chemistry
What you and I have
I always want more when we do it
You've got me high
Like in Dubai
Thank you.
Oh, Stefano.
For me, this song had no chemistry.
It's super generic.
The melodies, the lyrics,
your performance, were lacking.
I expect a lot more.
Thank you.
Stefano,
the very first 15 or 30 seconds of a song
are very important because
it's when people will say,
"I want to listen until the end."
And here, we need to see an artist who,
as soon as they step onstage,
stays with the audience
and all the judges.
Thank you very much.
This song is about pain,
about an unrequited love.
I try to forget this person, but I can't.
Let's welcome Mosmo from Mexico!
Forgetting you
"DIMENSIONS"
Is like picking at wounds
It doesn't help
I want you in every position
You're stuck in my head
Hey
That body
That booty tastes of cherry
Dim the lights
And in the dark I feel you kiss me here
You've got me hooked
In the club
Mixing pills and beer
My body prays to yours
I couldn't cope
I went out to forget you
After a couple of drinks
I was tired of thinking about you
All that's left is to miss you
Or find someone who reminds me of you
Because no one compares to you
My bad if I go with another
No one can mend my heart
She's on top
But I only see your face
Miami!
I want to hear you shout.
With me.
Hey.
You're stuck in my head
Hey, that body
That booty tastes of cherry
Dim the lights
And in the dark I feel you kiss me here
You've got me hooked
In the club, mixing pills and beer
My body prays to yours
Hey
Thank you.
Do you have a crush on one of us?
I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.
I mean, with all due respect,
yes, Nicki.
You're having a good time.
I mean, I'm a big fan of your music,
and you're very pretty, for real.
With all due respect.
That's it... that's as far as I'll go.
Anyway, brother,
the melody was cool, the song was cool,
but I think you could play more, vocally.
You have the potential
to do more dynamic things.
And everything you present here
has to kill it.
Thank you.
-Alright, Nicki.
-Nicki.
Listen, thank you for...
the compliment.
Let's keep it professional.
Don't worry. All good.
Great. Well,
I noticed a lot of...
A lot of issues that were due more
to the song than your voice,
but that could be improved too.
For example, the beat change.
When it accelerated suddenly,
your voice wasn't able to shine 100%.
And since we only
get to see you here once,
your song needs to rise
to the level of the live performance.
Then you'll kill it 100%.
Thank you.
Darling, cut the jokes.
This is my second performance
after almost being eliminated.
I think I've applied all the feedback
the judges gave me.
"Play the game to the fullest,
but play the game your way."
From Bogotá, let's welcome Mila!
Pretty little doll
"LITTLE DOLL"
Golden hair
She's blessed
I give you everything
Promise me you won't change
That you won't stop on the way
You're the love of my life
I'm all yours and you're mine
I'm going to kiss the scars
I'm here, nothing will stop you
My world from day one
Stay
Just trust
You're more
A lot more
Than a beauty standard
Beautiful from toe to head
Beautiful inside and out
Promise me you won't change
That you won't stop on the way
You're the love of my life
I'm all yours
And you're mine
I'm going to kiss the scars
I'm here
Nothing will stop me
My world from day one
Stay
Just trust
Thank you!
Last time you were almost eliminated.
Well, look. This time around,
the song was much better.
What I can tell you is that,
sometimes, the energy on stage
gets in the way of you conveying
the emotion and the song.
-Okay.
-I think that happened here.
Thank you very much, Lex.
I loved that
you took the challenge's subject
and you brought a perspective
which was pretty unique.
We're getting to know Mila better,
and I think that's very important.
Alright. Thank you all very much.
I think it's a very fun type of reggaeton,
and I hope to God that they like it.
Now, on our stage, Wanda Original
from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
I can rescue you whenever you want
"TOKYO"
I leave at five
At a quarter past I'm at yours
Let me know
And tonight we'll escape to Tokyo
I want you here
If that fool doesn't want you
Fuck him, fuck you!
I won't lie to you
Let me know and I'll come get you
With me nothing bad will happen to you
Let me know
And tonight we'll escape to Tokyo
I won't lie to you
I like your hand going over my body
I like you
I confess it
If it's for me, full time
I'm not begging you
I'm not lying to you
I heard the story
Just call me and I'll make time for you
I'll do you a service
And
Let me know
And tonight we'll escape to Tokyo
If that fool doesn't want you
Fuck him, fuck you!
Let me know and I'll come get you
With me nothing bad will happen to you
Just let me know
And tonight we'll escape to Tokyo
Thank you.
Thank you.
How do you feel?
Very happy. Honestly, very happy. Yes.
It shows. You gave me
something different from what I've heard.
I like it as a song,
it has a great melody.
I think you won me over
simply by adding Tokyo to the song.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Lex!
Wanda.
Who is this song dedicated to?
Who are you taking to Tokyo?
It's dedicated to a man,
but I switched the words around.
It refers to a woman,
but it's dedicated to a man, really.
I confused you!
I thought the song was incredible.
You're an artist.
But on stage I felt you were
a bit lost compared to last time,
when you had more control
over your actions, over how you moved.
Apart from that, it was spectacular.
Thank you very much, Lex.
With this song, I'll be able to fulfill
the expectations of the judges.
To improve my diction a bit.
Diego Smith!
"CONNECTION"
If I say I don't love you
It's a lie
Few words
But I have feelings
I just like to be in front of your eyes
They're like no others
Come on!
There's no one like you
I want to love you
In low light
You're the art I want to paint
You're the rhythm I want to dance
Feeling down like Rauw
Your location sends me down south
You're the art I want to paint
You're the rhythm I want to dance
This connection
Goes much further than the bedroom
With you, girl I have an addiction
No one like you loves me, girl
There's no one like you
I want to love you
In low light
Diego, how are you, bro?
How do you feel?
Good, motivated, happy.
Good, that's it.
No, honestly, I really liked
what you did today.
I feel like you overcame the critique
I gave you last time,
about being articulate, I liked it.
I feel like you can still push it
a bit further,
so we can understand you 100%.
But you did your job in terms of improving
what you needed to work on.
You gave us a good song,
so congratulations on that.
Thank you very much.
Diego, congratulations, brother.
I really love what you do,
bro, from the heart.
The rhythm, the melody, the lyrics.
Your feeling, your flow.
You seemed very secure this round.
Congratulations, really.
Come here, give me a hug.
Thank you, really.
Diego, I love your energy.
It was very smart to use Rauw
as a reference in the song,
-putting him in.
-Thanks for the shout-out.
The vibes, too. You did everything right,
perfect as it should be,
and I loved it,
I have nothing bad to say.
Thanks so much, from the heart.
Let's go, people! Bye!
All good, bye!
I feel like I'm struggling a bit
with the feedback
the judges gave me last time,
that I needed to move more on stage.
I'm worried, but I will try again,
with all the energy in the world.
And hopefully, I'll make it.
From Juarez, Mexico.
I present to you, Eydrey!
It's not so hard to believe
"HOPEFUL"
About this love
I don't care anymore
Because I always end up hopeful
Your promises mean nothing now
I saw it all with a wet face
I begged you to change
But today nothing is going to matter
I'm going to change
Because I always end up hopeful
Your promises are worth nothing now
I saw it all with a wet face
I begged you to change
Thank you.
Okay. Today, I did notice that presence
that we spoke about,
but I also noticed that,
while working on that presence,
you maybe missed other little details.
An artist's presence isn't determined
by how much they dance.
It's in what they convey.
There were moments when you were still
and you sang more at ease,
conveying more than when you moved.
You moved because we asked you to,
not because it came naturally.
I noticed at one point,
you tried to sing a very long note,
and change it up a bit.
It was a bit out of tune.
It's a matter of practicing breath work.
Thank you.
Eydrey. Last time I told you
you were lacking onstage.
Today, I saw you were much happier, more
comfortable in your skin, having more fun.
But at times I thought the song
didn't give you the power you needed
to blow everyone here away.
Thank you.
This song comes from
a personal experience.
I've tried to forget you but I can't.
From Medellín, Colombia.
Nati Boulier!
I went on with my life
Like I promised you
"ROME"
I did everything to be happy
Without you
And forget what we went through
To see if time hurts less
To rid myself of the weight I carry
Looking for your love in another
To understand that not all roads
Lead to you
They only lead to Rome
And in this life we must lose ourselves
Maybe we'll have more time in the next one
Maybe we'll have more time in the next one
Because we tried it all
And it didn't work
Baby, I loved you
Don't tell me no
I said goodbye
It already hurt
The years go by and it still hurts
And forget what we went through
To see if time hurts less
To rid myself of the weight I carry
Looking for your love in another
To understand that all roads
Lead to Rome
That in this life we must lose ourselves
Maybe we'll have more luck in the next one
I see that the issues we told you about
at your first performance,
you fixed them
and worked on them for today.
I feel like...
The only thing I felt personally
is that I'm not sure
if it was the right beat for your song.
I think maybe
it should be a slower rhythm,
with a bit more space, where I can hear
you, your voice, and the content better.
I think it was the only thing
that was lacking.
Nati, I love that the song is so personal.
That's very important to me,
because I want a real artist.
But I think that
the song was lacking.
The most successful writer
on the Billboard charts
once told me that a hit
is a song that does everything
you want it to do, when you want it to.
And for me, this song didn't do anything
that I wanted it to.
Amen. Yes.
Thank you.
Let's go. Thank you.
My song is based on
a personal life experience.
When I perform it, it will be real.
From Buenos Aires, Argentina,
Nashy-Nashai!
I know there'll never be
A me and you again
"THINGS TO SAY"
Never say never
But I'll say it
I don't know if the wound healed
But it no longer hurts
I lost confidence
Because I loved you more than myself
I lost my time
Because I put it all in you
I lost my tracksuit
And never found it again
I lost a piece of me
When I went away
I lost friends
Who warned me about you
I lost the present
And I even gave that to you
I know I lost a lot more than I gained
But not so much
Because I loved you
I had so many things left to say
Starting because
Now I know what it is to love
And now it feels like shit
If you think about me
I'm sitting on the same balcony
Where you promised
I'd be your only love
That's how false promises work
One day you're there
The next you're not
I lost confidence
Because I loved you more than myself
I lost my time
Because I put it all in you
I lost my tracksuit
And never found it again
I lost a piece of me
When I went away
I lost friends
Who warned me about you
I lost the present
And I even gave you that
I know I lost a lot more than I gained
But not so much
Because I loved you
Give me two seconds to hold back my tears
and... breathe.
Can we give her a big round of applause?
What you conveyed today hasn't happened
for me with any other contestant. Sorry.
Frankly, it's not only
what the song made me feel,
but what you conveyed to me.
It must have been difficult
for you to write it
because I really know what you felt.
I know that you did it,
not based on giving a performance,
but because it came
from you and you felt it.
And that is what we're really looking for.
It's really what...
we need, not only in this competition,
but, I need to listen to
and know more about this artist.
About who you are.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Wow! I'm really touched, excuse me.
I feel like in this song you went...
Tonight, you are the only one
who gave me goosebumps.
I'm going to cry.
Thank you very much.
Hey, man, that was insane. Stop it.
-No, she really killed it.
-Stop it.
-She killed it.
-She did.
Today was... The talent today...
-And the music...
-Today was amazing.
Who are the favorites?
-Nashy was at the top.
-I think it was Nashy.
She gave me goosebumps.
Nashy.
Nashy-Nashai.
Who didn't kill it and deserves
to be a part of the conversation?
For me, today, these three should stay.
For me, first I'll put down
the one I think
should leave the competition,
-and the other two who should be saved.
-Do you think she did worse than...?
For me, she made an improvement today.
And she took constructive feedback.
Musically.
It's her own flow,
which is pretty interesting.
-Alright.
-I want to know something.
Him. Don't you think he sings well,
but the beat worked against him?
-I feel like he's kinda monotonous.
-For me...
I felt like he didn't really surprise me.
Whereas today she surprised us
in another way.
I completely agree.
I think she improved a lot.
The thing is, we already knew
she has a good voice.
Everybody here can sing.
And perhaps she has
the best voice out of everybody.
We gave her a chance last time.
-I think the same.
-I agree with that.
Tony.
Bring me these contracts.
HEAD OF SECURITY
Guys, I love you.
Eydrey.
Mosmo.
Stefano.
Please, come with me.
Down to business.
This is a competition.
Only one of you
will be signed.
Tony, the contracts.
Eydrey,
I expected a lot from you today.
We all think
you have potential.
We would like you
to give your best every time
you come on this stage.
But that didn't happen today.
Eydrey...
you're still in.
Thank you.
Mosmo,
why do you think you're here?
I feel like I'm limited.
Because I do regional urban,
for those who don't know.
I'm from Mexico.
As a Mexican,
being here singing reggaeton...
It's not something you hear much there,
it's only just being introduced,
so I feel... I don't feel great.
I'm not looking for the best urban artist.
I'm looking
for the best artist in the world.
And you just told me you're limited.
You are setting your own limitations.
Stefano,
I was hard on you the first time.
I was hard on you today.
Because I wanted
you to give me the best you have.
Because you represent Peru.
A country where you could be
the first big urban star there.
Today,
one of you
will be going home.
THE SIGNING
LISTEN TO THE OFFICIAL
THE SIGNING PLAYLIST
Subtitle translation by: Bridget Ochocka
you were so close.
Monique...
your contract has been terminated.
Thank you all, I'm really grateful.
Thank you for the opportunity.
Listen, I actually wanted you to stay.
And I think the judges' decision
to put you in this position...
I think it will help you with the next...
the next performance.
So come back stronger.
I'll come back stronger next time.
I never thought I'd leave Miami so soon.
When Lex tore up my contract,
he broke my heart.
I'll keep making music and...
Well, you have to go on.
Of course I would've liked
to stay a bit longer.
The judges didn't love my diction.
It wasn't very good,
but I've always said
I don't have a plan B.
I'm going to make music until I die,
so either I die or I slay.
It was really hard to eliminate two today.
But I mean,
this is the life of an artist.
This is The Signing.
We're looking for
the best artist in the world.
THE SIGNING
They need to make their mark,
find out who they are,
what their sound is, what their voice is.
Because it's very easy to be
swayed one way, to emulate what you hear,
and go for what's easiest.
With The Signing, I'm looking
for some of that authenticity.
I think that'll be the most important
thing, win or lose.
Didn't you see I cried yesterday?
I wanted to cry when...
when I saw Mila up there.
I got nervous, like it was me
who was being disqualified.
My heart literally... I started...
Like, "That could be me," you know?
Like, nobody here is really safe.
Back home, I'm a teacher.
My students are something else.
They all trust me deeply.
It's really gratifying to see
the kids identifying with you.
How they support everything you do,
and how I can do my part
and bring a few kernels of wisdom
to the exchange of ideas that we have.
Many of them want to become singers
and believe there's no chance.
And I'd like for them to see me
really nailing it on this show,
because their teacher is showing them
you can be whoever you want.
That there's no age limit
for living your dream,
and that if you want to work hard,
you'll triumph and be the best
at what you do.
THE SIGNING HOUSE
How are you? Okay?
Come over here so we can talk for a bit.
First, I want to know how you all felt
the first time you sang,
what the experience was like for you.
How was it for you?
I was really nervous, it was
my third time being on stage.
And I think it showed,
but let's see how I do this time around.
I felt like I didn't give it 100%.
And, also, reggaeton...
I don't know, I do regional music, so...
I mean, we have to adapt.
But don't drop your style because,
I mean, it's really important.
Because, I don't know...
Let's say you win, great.
You win and get signed,
but it's for what you did on the show,
-and not what you want to do.
-Sure.
So I think it's good
to make songs that fit you.
Sure.
What about you?
You looked very chill.
But what was going on inside
was different.
Yes, I was very nervous.
I was pretty calm the day before,
but before going on,
it was like, bam!
I have to do a good job onstage,
represent my country.
But, anyway, here we are and we're
learning from the mistakes we made.
Right, but I don't think
they're mistakes, it's like...
You know the first time going onstage,
singing in front of judges
is going to get to you,
and that's super hard.
I know there will be nerves, but use them
to push yourself to 100% on that stage.
So that's it, guys, nice to see you.
Onwards and upwards!
It's really nice to hear
how one of the judges thinks,
because, at the end of the day,
they're analyzing you top to bottom.
I'm 21 years old.
I started making music two years ago.
Practically from scratch, you know?
So I really relate to the contestants
who come in, stand there, and say,
"I'm here to show you who I am
and see what happens."
THE SIGNING HOUSE
You have silicone in your chest, right?
I'm...
For real, dude.
No. I've just been working on them
since I was a kid.
Botox. Yeah.
Hey! Everybody up!
Your trainer Rauw Alejandro is here.
Let's go!
Come on, everybody get up!
Come on, guys!
Get up!
Come on, get up.
Three minutes.
Get up!
You have one minute to come downstairs,
or everyone's disqualified.
Rauw is here, I mean, he's literally here.
Seeing Rauw Alejandro was like... Okay.
NASHY-NASHAI, 20
It was fun.
As you know,
we saw that a few of you ended up a bit...
breathless during the first performance.
It's happened to me.
But, train physically every day.
Dedication is what you'll need
when you're on tour.
And you have to do cardio,
physical activity.
There are 650 shows from June to June.
Going everywhere. So, okay.
This is my bro Jorge.
-Personal trainer.
-Hello, how are you?
He'll be making you sweat a little.
I've been training celebrities
for almost ten years,
preparing them for their shows,
for their concerts, and so on.
As you know, it requires
a lot of physical and mental energy
to give your all on stage.
So it's important to make this
a lifestyle, a habit.
So...
-Let's do this.
-To the top.
I hate exercising
with every fiber of my being.
I don't enjoy it.
-Gigi, you're talking a lot. Mila.
-Let's go.
Stefano won't take his sunglasses off.
Car!
We made a track.
Five. Let's go.
We trained for like 30 or 40 minutes,
I think.
I'm going to play a song.
And while you exercise, you have to sing.
I like the smell of your hair
I can't hear you.
What you make me feel
Okay. With your chest, with your heart.
I want to wake up with you
Do it after a smoke
I have nothing to look for
Gigi, I don't see you singing along!
Accelerate my pulse
I mean, you get to a point where...
My pulse
I mean, I was dead.
We're done with training.
You need to do this every day
to get in shape to perform on stage.
Doing it here reflects... If you feel
like you can't, just keep going.
This will help you
in your careers and personal lives.
So a round of applause!
It's a very tough career.
If you're not in good shape
you won't withstand the pressure.
Then that goes up here.
And that's a whole other thing, too.
Mentally, it's different.
Having 100% control
over your body will help you do anything
at any given moment.
MUSIC
At the end of the day,
what's most important to me is your work.
That you work no matter how tired you are,
even if you've reached your limit.
Being able to work
is what's going to distinguish you
from someone who has all the talent
in the world. You can do it, too.
-We're trying to educate...
-No, it's just that I...
She said she'll teach people
how to say hello.
Who doesn't know? Tell us.
Say it! Tell us.
Do you think that someone here
doesn't know how to say hello?
-I don't know.
-You don't know who?
-This topic is dead.
-This girl will tell you who it is.
Okay.
-Tell us.
-No hard feelings,
but it really bothers me when
someone I live with doesn't say hello.
You just said it in a nice way,
but yesterday...
Yes, Wanda doesn't say hi
and it makes me angry.
-Because...
-She said her name. Wanda.
Yes.
-Oh, she doesn't say hi?
-No.
Not to me.
Not to you either. Don't deny it.
I'm quite affectionate, so I'm there
fraternizing, I love them a lot.
But it's not like...
"Damn you, you're going to lose,
I'll beat you." No.
I've always had a small group of friends.
I was never the type of person
to have, I don't know,
let's say,
a huge birthday party, you know?
It was always just the closest people.
Two or three friends,
my mom, and my brother.
I don't think I have
a very special connection
with the group
I've met here at The Signing.
Maybe because I'm doing my own thing
and not paying attention to other stuff.
Seduce me. With your song.
-We got a message.
-Ooh.
Fuck, it's Tainy.
Okay, studio day today.
Now you're going to start working
with producers professionally.
The fun part's about to begin.
-So we have a session now.
-Yes. Let's go.
I have to change.
So, this is how we look from afar.
I mean, not in closeup.
No, watch how the look changes.
That's a lot.
-Colombian... goddess.
-I am.
I'm a backup singer, I accompany artists.
I've been doing that for a few years.
I've worked with Karol G.
I was able to make the leap from being
the girl who would sing at weddings,
to singing every day
in places all over the world.
But I've always sung behind somebody else.
I love what I do. I really love it.
But I think I'm past that point.
I feel like it's time
for me to shine on my own.
I'm not backup anymore.
It's a big step toward
who Nati Boulier is as an artist.
I manage to make you mine
It's all in my dream
What makes The Signing unique is that
it's supporting these kids from the start.
We're having them write and compose.
REBEL 11 STUDIOS
What's up? Are we ready?
How are we doing? Are we ready to start?
This is the studio.
Here's where we'll be working every day
to find your sound
and see how we can elevate
each one of your sounds every day.
To achieve that, we've partnered
you with a team of producers
who are not only great friends of mine,
but work collaborators.
Here they are, Gaby Morales,
Albert Hype, The Rudeboyz,
Elena Rose,
Jota Rosa.
They're the best the industry
has to offer right now.
So, to start, for your first challenge
and your first song,
we want you to use the subject of love.
You can use personal experiences.
That's how it comes naturally.
At the end of the day, love is a feeling,
it's something we feel deep inside.
So I want that
to be conveyed in the music.
The subject of love is much more sincere
and it comes across more genuinely
when it's your own experience.
I still can't believe I'm leaving
for Miami in less than a week.
You'll hook up with someone.
-For sure.
-If you say so.
-Yes.
-You'll get there and...
You'll like somebody.
I mean, I'm going to...
-Don't lie.
-Alright. No, but...
I'm a very positive person,
I always live my life with good vibes.
Regarding my style, my image, I feel like...
what you see is a person who is a rebel,
who's cool.
I don't want to say "vain," but...
I take care of myself.
Being an artist in Peru is tough.
Mainly because the country
has its limitations.
I feel like it's developing,
but we need to bring in foreign ideas
and be seen abroad.
I think this is a chance I have to take,
to get out of the country,
to be with big producers,
to be with big artists...
And if I achieve things,
to try to open doors
for some friends
and the Peruvian music scene.
My biggest challenge
on The Signing will be
getting to the final.
REBEL 11 STUDIOS
The key to a good love song is the ability
to say "I love you" without saying it.
If you're about to write a love song,
make it real.
When you write,
write what the heart really feels.
Songs that are about pure love,
from the heart.
It's good to let out that heartbreak,
that sadness.
It doesn't matter if it's raw,
explicit, clean, or romantic.
We've all gone through situations
where we've suffered.
Love is needed.
The new generation don't
operate this way.
Love doesn't exist.
-What's up? How are you? All good?
-All good.
Albert Hype is going to work
on a song with me.
He's a pretty big producer.
He's worked with artists
who I love and admire very much.
Working with someone like Jota Rosa
makes me a little nervous
because he's produced
a lot of my favorite songs.
-Do you like it?
-Yes.
In the end it'll be a little more...
I feel like this challenge
will be kinda hard.
It looks easy, but I think it'll be hard
because we have to talk about love.
And love is a pretty broad subject.
I like it more,
all low, like, "plain."
I think of you
I'm mesmerized
I think of you
I'm mesmerized
Yeah!
There's nobody like you
I'm using a phrase from a song by Rauw.
I hope he likes it.
And one part goes...
Feeling down like Rauw
One of the things that happened was
one of the judges, Rauw,
got up on the stage and told me...
It's a sexy song. So you have to project
sexiness, you get me? So then...
...what he expected from me
in terms of movement and so on.
I think I'm worried
because it's a song that...
Well, it's sad.
I don't think I'll have as much trouble
with how I present myself onstage.
Let's leave it open
and see what happens.
-An experiment.
-Perfect, yes.
I know there'll never be
A you and me again
Never say never
But I'll say it
I don't know...
There, stop, I want to practice. Hello.
I don't know if the wound healed
It has to be clearer.
I don't know if...
I can't say it.
I'm sorry.
We tend to want to be perfect all the time
and for everything to turn out well.
And
we also feel the pressure, like,
"I'm racing against time, I only have
two hours to make this sound good."
And maybe there's just
nothing coming from the heart.
Welcome to the second night
of The Signing!
With you tonight, Tainy!
Yandel!
Nicki Nicole!
Rauw Alejandro!
And Lex Borrero!
How are my judges doing?
-Happy.
-Good.
The Signing has started!
Right now I feel fine, I feel prepared.
I'm ready to go out there and kill it.
And now, Rmand!
I heard you don't drink anymore
You don't go out on the weekends
I think of you
I'm mesmerized
I know we haven't spoken in a while
But
But I wonder
"Where are you?"
I drive around Malibu
Without you the beach feels cold
You're not here and it's my fault
I also heard you're asking about me
I'm sorry but I don't deserve you baby
Although the photo and the videos
I didn't delete
All I have left of you
Is your memory
In your name
I opened another bottle
Your love and me
Are no longer compatible
And although your lips kiss another bro
I just wonder
"Where are you?"
I just wonder
"Where are you?"
Thank you, my people.
Incredible. What did the audience think?
Thanks.
I loved the song.
I loved the melodies,
I loved that you enjoyed the song.
-It was 100% impeccable, my friend.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
You know, last time I told you
you're an amazing writer,
but you needed to become an artist.
Today you're an artist.
Thanks.
What you did today was perfect
and I have nothing bad to say.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Listen, if Lex,
the man who notices everything,
didn't say anything,
I think... bro, you're already a star,
you know? I see you as an artist.
I don't know what to say, really. Thanks.
Thank you, my people!
-This competition's going to be tough.
-Yeah. The final is going to be hard.
This song is inspired by
my own experience.
A few months ago,
I ended a relationship. It's about that.
Gigi Saldaña from Río Grande, Puerto Rico!
What's not important dies
"TIME MACHINE"
Now I must live my life
I no longer need your stories
I'm sorry baby
For what you did to me
I now need to heal the wounds
Your sky is about to fail
I put an end to your tale
I'm the one who came off clean
Get into your time machine
Alive, you can't hurt me any longer
My self-esteem is stronger
I cried so much for you, boy
It doesn't hurt anymore
I smoke a little blunt
To keep me high
I'm not here for you, boy
Bye
Your sky is about to fail
I put an end to your tale
I like this one a lot.
I'm the one who came off clean
Get into your time machine
Here we go!
You came up with a style...
It was out of this world, something else.
Congrats, good job.
Sick. Thanks.
For me, I still feel
that the song lyrics are very generic.
I have yet to discover
who Gigi is, the artist.
-Those lyrics, that presence.
-That song is good.
-That song is good.
-It was good.
Thank you.
You screwed up badly, bro.
Let's welcome to the stage,
coming directly from Lima, Peru,
Stefano Toller!
We have a great connection
"CHEMISTRY"
There are many loves
But this one is another dimension
Where I've never been lifted,
Baby you've got me addicted
Where I've never been lifted
They call it chemistry
What you and I have
I always want more when we do it
You've got me high
Like in Dubai
Yeah
I don't know if it's her ass
But that body's deadly
Light two blunts
And my landscape is painted
Your mom met me and gave me her blessing
An ass is necessary
That's my downfall
Shorty, we always do it like animals
We never want it to end
We have chemistry
Our bodies aren't the same
May my baby free me
And heal my wounds
They call it chemistry
What you and I have
I always want more when we do it
You've got me high
Like in Dubai
Thank you.
Oh, Stefano.
For me, this song had no chemistry.
It's super generic.
The melodies, the lyrics,
your performance, were lacking.
I expect a lot more.
Thank you.
Stefano,
the very first 15 or 30 seconds of a song
are very important because
it's when people will say,
"I want to listen until the end."
And here, we need to see an artist who,
as soon as they step onstage,
stays with the audience
and all the judges.
Thank you very much.
This song is about pain,
about an unrequited love.
I try to forget this person, but I can't.
Let's welcome Mosmo from Mexico!
Forgetting you
"DIMENSIONS"
Is like picking at wounds
It doesn't help
I want you in every position
You're stuck in my head
Hey
That body
That booty tastes of cherry
Dim the lights
And in the dark I feel you kiss me here
You've got me hooked
In the club
Mixing pills and beer
My body prays to yours
I couldn't cope
I went out to forget you
After a couple of drinks
I was tired of thinking about you
All that's left is to miss you
Or find someone who reminds me of you
Because no one compares to you
My bad if I go with another
No one can mend my heart
She's on top
But I only see your face
Miami!
I want to hear you shout.
With me.
Hey.
You're stuck in my head
Hey, that body
That booty tastes of cherry
Dim the lights
And in the dark I feel you kiss me here
You've got me hooked
In the club, mixing pills and beer
My body prays to yours
Hey
Thank you.
Do you have a crush on one of us?
I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.
I mean, with all due respect,
yes, Nicki.
You're having a good time.
I mean, I'm a big fan of your music,
and you're very pretty, for real.
With all due respect.
That's it... that's as far as I'll go.
Anyway, brother,
the melody was cool, the song was cool,
but I think you could play more, vocally.
You have the potential
to do more dynamic things.
And everything you present here
has to kill it.
Thank you.
-Alright, Nicki.
-Nicki.
Listen, thank you for...
the compliment.
Let's keep it professional.
Don't worry. All good.
Great. Well,
I noticed a lot of...
A lot of issues that were due more
to the song than your voice,
but that could be improved too.
For example, the beat change.
When it accelerated suddenly,
your voice wasn't able to shine 100%.
And since we only
get to see you here once,
your song needs to rise
to the level of the live performance.
Then you'll kill it 100%.
Thank you.
Darling, cut the jokes.
This is my second performance
after almost being eliminated.
I think I've applied all the feedback
the judges gave me.
"Play the game to the fullest,
but play the game your way."
From Bogotá, let's welcome Mila!
Pretty little doll
"LITTLE DOLL"
Golden hair
She's blessed
I give you everything
Promise me you won't change
That you won't stop on the way
You're the love of my life
I'm all yours and you're mine
I'm going to kiss the scars
I'm here, nothing will stop you
My world from day one
Stay
Just trust
You're more
A lot more
Than a beauty standard
Beautiful from toe to head
Beautiful inside and out
Promise me you won't change
That you won't stop on the way
You're the love of my life
I'm all yours
And you're mine
I'm going to kiss the scars
I'm here
Nothing will stop me
My world from day one
Stay
Just trust
Thank you!
Last time you were almost eliminated.
Well, look. This time around,
the song was much better.
What I can tell you is that,
sometimes, the energy on stage
gets in the way of you conveying
the emotion and the song.
-Okay.
-I think that happened here.
Thank you very much, Lex.
I loved that
you took the challenge's subject
and you brought a perspective
which was pretty unique.
We're getting to know Mila better,
and I think that's very important.
Alright. Thank you all very much.
I think it's a very fun type of reggaeton,
and I hope to God that they like it.
Now, on our stage, Wanda Original
from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
I can rescue you whenever you want
"TOKYO"
I leave at five
At a quarter past I'm at yours
Let me know
And tonight we'll escape to Tokyo
I want you here
If that fool doesn't want you
Fuck him, fuck you!
I won't lie to you
Let me know and I'll come get you
With me nothing bad will happen to you
Let me know
And tonight we'll escape to Tokyo
I won't lie to you
I like your hand going over my body
I like you
I confess it
If it's for me, full time
I'm not begging you
I'm not lying to you
I heard the story
Just call me and I'll make time for you
I'll do you a service
And
Let me know
And tonight we'll escape to Tokyo
If that fool doesn't want you
Fuck him, fuck you!
Let me know and I'll come get you
With me nothing bad will happen to you
Just let me know
And tonight we'll escape to Tokyo
Thank you.
Thank you.
How do you feel?
Very happy. Honestly, very happy. Yes.
It shows. You gave me
something different from what I've heard.
I like it as a song,
it has a great melody.
I think you won me over
simply by adding Tokyo to the song.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Lex!
Wanda.
Who is this song dedicated to?
Who are you taking to Tokyo?
It's dedicated to a man,
but I switched the words around.
It refers to a woman,
but it's dedicated to a man, really.
I confused you!
I thought the song was incredible.
You're an artist.
But on stage I felt you were
a bit lost compared to last time,
when you had more control
over your actions, over how you moved.
Apart from that, it was spectacular.
Thank you very much, Lex.
With this song, I'll be able to fulfill
the expectations of the judges.
To improve my diction a bit.
Diego Smith!
"CONNECTION"
If I say I don't love you
It's a lie
Few words
But I have feelings
I just like to be in front of your eyes
They're like no others
Come on!
There's no one like you
I want to love you
In low light
You're the art I want to paint
You're the rhythm I want to dance
Feeling down like Rauw
Your location sends me down south
You're the art I want to paint
You're the rhythm I want to dance
This connection
Goes much further than the bedroom
With you, girl I have an addiction
No one like you loves me, girl
There's no one like you
I want to love you
In low light
Diego, how are you, bro?
How do you feel?
Good, motivated, happy.
Good, that's it.
No, honestly, I really liked
what you did today.
I feel like you overcame the critique
I gave you last time,
about being articulate, I liked it.
I feel like you can still push it
a bit further,
so we can understand you 100%.
But you did your job in terms of improving
what you needed to work on.
You gave us a good song,
so congratulations on that.
Thank you very much.
Diego, congratulations, brother.
I really love what you do,
bro, from the heart.
The rhythm, the melody, the lyrics.
Your feeling, your flow.
You seemed very secure this round.
Congratulations, really.
Come here, give me a hug.
Thank you, really.
Diego, I love your energy.
It was very smart to use Rauw
as a reference in the song,
-putting him in.
-Thanks for the shout-out.
The vibes, too. You did everything right,
perfect as it should be,
and I loved it,
I have nothing bad to say.
Thanks so much, from the heart.
Let's go, people! Bye!
All good, bye!
I feel like I'm struggling a bit
with the feedback
the judges gave me last time,
that I needed to move more on stage.
I'm worried, but I will try again,
with all the energy in the world.
And hopefully, I'll make it.
From Juarez, Mexico.
I present to you, Eydrey!
It's not so hard to believe
"HOPEFUL"
About this love
I don't care anymore
Because I always end up hopeful
Your promises mean nothing now
I saw it all with a wet face
I begged you to change
But today nothing is going to matter
I'm going to change
Because I always end up hopeful
Your promises are worth nothing now
I saw it all with a wet face
I begged you to change
Thank you.
Okay. Today, I did notice that presence
that we spoke about,
but I also noticed that,
while working on that presence,
you maybe missed other little details.
An artist's presence isn't determined
by how much they dance.
It's in what they convey.
There were moments when you were still
and you sang more at ease,
conveying more than when you moved.
You moved because we asked you to,
not because it came naturally.
I noticed at one point,
you tried to sing a very long note,
and change it up a bit.
It was a bit out of tune.
It's a matter of practicing breath work.
Thank you.
Eydrey. Last time I told you
you were lacking onstage.
Today, I saw you were much happier, more
comfortable in your skin, having more fun.
But at times I thought the song
didn't give you the power you needed
to blow everyone here away.
Thank you.
This song comes from
a personal experience.
I've tried to forget you but I can't.
From Medellín, Colombia.
Nati Boulier!
I went on with my life
Like I promised you
"ROME"
I did everything to be happy
Without you
And forget what we went through
To see if time hurts less
To rid myself of the weight I carry
Looking for your love in another
To understand that not all roads
Lead to you
They only lead to Rome
And in this life we must lose ourselves
Maybe we'll have more time in the next one
Maybe we'll have more time in the next one
Because we tried it all
And it didn't work
Baby, I loved you
Don't tell me no
I said goodbye
It already hurt
The years go by and it still hurts
And forget what we went through
To see if time hurts less
To rid myself of the weight I carry
Looking for your love in another
To understand that all roads
Lead to Rome
That in this life we must lose ourselves
Maybe we'll have more luck in the next one
I see that the issues we told you about
at your first performance,
you fixed them
and worked on them for today.
I feel like...
The only thing I felt personally
is that I'm not sure
if it was the right beat for your song.
I think maybe
it should be a slower rhythm,
with a bit more space, where I can hear
you, your voice, and the content better.
I think it was the only thing
that was lacking.
Nati, I love that the song is so personal.
That's very important to me,
because I want a real artist.
But I think that
the song was lacking.
The most successful writer
on the Billboard charts
once told me that a hit
is a song that does everything
you want it to do, when you want it to.
And for me, this song didn't do anything
that I wanted it to.
Amen. Yes.
Thank you.
Let's go. Thank you.
My song is based on
a personal life experience.
When I perform it, it will be real.
From Buenos Aires, Argentina,
Nashy-Nashai!
I know there'll never be
A me and you again
"THINGS TO SAY"
Never say never
But I'll say it
I don't know if the wound healed
But it no longer hurts
I lost confidence
Because I loved you more than myself
I lost my time
Because I put it all in you
I lost my tracksuit
And never found it again
I lost a piece of me
When I went away
I lost friends
Who warned me about you
I lost the present
And I even gave that to you
I know I lost a lot more than I gained
But not so much
Because I loved you
I had so many things left to say
Starting because
Now I know what it is to love
And now it feels like shit
If you think about me
I'm sitting on the same balcony
Where you promised
I'd be your only love
That's how false promises work
One day you're there
The next you're not
I lost confidence
Because I loved you more than myself
I lost my time
Because I put it all in you
I lost my tracksuit
And never found it again
I lost a piece of me
When I went away
I lost friends
Who warned me about you
I lost the present
And I even gave you that
I know I lost a lot more than I gained
But not so much
Because I loved you
Give me two seconds to hold back my tears
and... breathe.
Can we give her a big round of applause?
What you conveyed today hasn't happened
for me with any other contestant. Sorry.
Frankly, it's not only
what the song made me feel,
but what you conveyed to me.
It must have been difficult
for you to write it
because I really know what you felt.
I know that you did it,
not based on giving a performance,
but because it came
from you and you felt it.
And that is what we're really looking for.
It's really what...
we need, not only in this competition,
but, I need to listen to
and know more about this artist.
About who you are.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Wow! I'm really touched, excuse me.
I feel like in this song you went...
Tonight, you are the only one
who gave me goosebumps.
I'm going to cry.
Thank you very much.
Hey, man, that was insane. Stop it.
-No, she really killed it.
-Stop it.
-She killed it.
-She did.
Today was... The talent today...
-And the music...
-Today was amazing.
Who are the favorites?
-Nashy was at the top.
-I think it was Nashy.
She gave me goosebumps.
Nashy.
Nashy-Nashai.
Who didn't kill it and deserves
to be a part of the conversation?
For me, today, these three should stay.
For me, first I'll put down
the one I think
should leave the competition,
-and the other two who should be saved.
-Do you think she did worse than...?
For me, she made an improvement today.
And she took constructive feedback.
Musically.
It's her own flow,
which is pretty interesting.
-Alright.
-I want to know something.
Him. Don't you think he sings well,
but the beat worked against him?
-I feel like he's kinda monotonous.
-For me...
I felt like he didn't really surprise me.
Whereas today she surprised us
in another way.
I completely agree.
I think she improved a lot.
The thing is, we already knew
she has a good voice.
Everybody here can sing.
And perhaps she has
the best voice out of everybody.
We gave her a chance last time.
-I think the same.
-I agree with that.
Tony.
Bring me these contracts.
HEAD OF SECURITY
Guys, I love you.
Eydrey.
Mosmo.
Stefano.
Please, come with me.
Down to business.
This is a competition.
Only one of you
will be signed.
Tony, the contracts.
Eydrey,
I expected a lot from you today.
We all think
you have potential.
We would like you
to give your best every time
you come on this stage.
But that didn't happen today.
Eydrey...
you're still in.
Thank you.
Mosmo,
why do you think you're here?
I feel like I'm limited.
Because I do regional urban,
for those who don't know.
I'm from Mexico.
As a Mexican,
being here singing reggaeton...
It's not something you hear much there,
it's only just being introduced,
so I feel... I don't feel great.
I'm not looking for the best urban artist.
I'm looking
for the best artist in the world.
And you just told me you're limited.
You are setting your own limitations.
Stefano,
I was hard on you the first time.
I was hard on you today.
Because I wanted
you to give me the best you have.
Because you represent Peru.
A country where you could be
the first big urban star there.
Today,
one of you
will be going home.
