The Signing (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript
There are twelve record label contracts
in front of you.
But only one of you will get signed
and become an official Neon16 artist.
Boricua, that's what's up.
We have talent coming
from all over Latin America.
Argentina in the house, baby!
This is it, people! From Mexico!
They're singing songs they've written.
Everyone will be given a challenge,
because this is not just about
a pretty voice
or some nice bars.
That's how I am
In the hood is where I learned
I only saw what we filmed
I've got it on repeat
If you want to surf
I'll take you to the snow
If you want to ski
Which one of you is ready
to become a world superstar?
Your contract has been terminated.
We'll see how high the bar is now.
It's not the end of the world
or my career. I was born for this.
The competition is getting really tough.
I only have two hours
to make this sound good.
How embarrassing!
Spray it if you want,
but I'm not getting wet.
-He can't hear me.
-I can't help you.
I had a bad time.
I'm hungry, you're taking too long...
No, what did you do?
She stresses over absolutely everything.
And I'm like, "Don't freak out."
I'm the total opposite. I'm like, "Om."
And she's like...
And I'm chill.
On a team, you either win together...
or lose together.
THE SIGNING
Gigi, as Rauw told you...
there are three Boricuas here
who have been proud
to have you represent Puerto Rico.
But for me,
character is really important.
Attitude is very important.
Always looking for a solution
is very important.
Because in this business, every day,
you have to solve a problem.
And I think that the opportunity
we've given you,
and what I've seen, doesn't reflect
what I am looking for in an artist.
That's why today,
your contract has been terminated.
Thank you.
I think it's unfair.
They kicked me out for a duo
when I've never failed one before.
He got carried away with
this assistant challenge to eliminate me.
That's it.
I feel so disappointed with this decision.
Not because I really wanted to win,
but because...
I feel like they judged me
based on only one thing,
but all my performances
were totally different.
Modern reggaeton, afrobeat with bachata.
I represented Puerto Rico perfectly
doing old-school. I don't do reggaeton.
Then I threw in some R&B and dancehall.
And today I did hip-hop
because my partner does it.
That's all she's done
in this competition, so...
I was comfortable
because I love to experiment.
I feel disappointed.
Like never getting nominated.
You make just one mistake
and they kick you out.
And that's how it went.
Nashy...
You're safe again.
You're still in the competition.
Nashy,
I know the pressure of being an artist,
of being successful.
And what makes the difference is
when you don't let situations
take over your emotions and make you fail.
You have all the potential in the world,
so, for what's left of the competition,
focus on giving us your best.
Because there won't be any more chances.
-Thanks very much.
-Thanks very much.
I was shaking my head at Lex,
thinking, "No. Don't let her go, please."
There's no more time for excuses.
I want to see who will really
give it their all to win my signature.
THE SIGNING HOUSE
It was a difficult night,
like with every round,
you run the risk of going home.
I'm happy because
it was another chance and...
Well, here we are.
I'll hate the day when I'm eliminated.
-Hi. How are you?
-From the get-go.
-Listen.
-Uncle Lex.
I won't be with you today.
Get ready because
my driver will be there soon
to take you to one of my favorite places.
I hope you use this experience
to listen and learn.
-Yes, Mr. Lex!
-Yes, sir!
I'm a really anxious chick, you know?
I like surprises,
but only up to a point, you know?
It's been a long wait and it's like,
"Come on, bro, what do I have to do?"
My question is, I mean,
they're taking us somewhere, like,
important to him.
But will there be a challenge?
Well, we went to Neon16 the first time.
You know, to assist and everything.
And now, I guess it'll be another
crazy thing he comes up with.
For us, it's very important
to get to know the personal part
of each artist and talent we work with.
-No!
-No!
-All good?
-God, you're so tall.
-Super tall.
-All good?
We get to have fun today.
Did you bring bikinis?
What?
I'll swim naked.
I couldn't believe it.
It was an unforgettable,
beautiful experience.
It was something I needed in my life.
Have you done music videos?
I've done three.
-Let's see them.
-Mosmo.
You have everything I never imagined
With you I lack nothing
From one to ten I give you a hundred
-How much did it cost?
-Eight hundred dollars.
I did a few like that.
Sometimes you do things,
like, "I feel like I have to do this."
It doesn't require much money.
I even put my family
in my first videos, you know?
My brother... And I'd move them around,
they'd do what I'd tell them.
Look... This is my sister.
That's her.
-Yeah, your sister's beautiful.
-You get it?
No. What I mean is...
No, bro.
With all due respect.
No.
No, I was saying, respectfully...
She's a model.
Enough.
Bro, it's better
if you don't say anything.
I mean, it's really hard,
when so many things happen,
to stay grounded.
Having the right people around you,
who know how to care for you is important.
The people
who are really important to you
will be with you for the good and the bad.
When all this is over,
you want to be at home
with the people who really love you
and who have supported you from day one.
Being on the yacht
with Nicki, Rauw, Yandel, and Tainy
was special because I had the chance
to talk to each one of them in depth.
It's an unbelievable opportunity.
Any way you look at it.
And it's twelve people.
I mean, it's not easy.
It's not easy at all.
But I'm also aware that
I'm here because I deserve it,
and I know I do
because I've worked my ass off.
It's cool to go for your dreams.
People who criticize you
or tell you something unconstructive,
they're not in your position.
It was beautiful, you know?
Because you realize
they're really interested in what you do.
And that will stay with me, you know?
Over here, you can't see.
-Hey, Lex!
-Lex!
To my Lex.
Guys, let's get organized...
What's good about reggaeton
is you can combine it.
We love to make ballads,
we love to make... I've even done salsa.
REBEL 11 STUDIOS
Hiya.
Your next challenge
will be to create a crossover song.
A crossover song exceeds the limits
of the genre in which it was created,
and becomes a global song.
To make this even cooler,
I'm going to bring in a friend of mine.
He's been one of the most
influential people for me,
especially when it comes
to this challenge.
He's worked with Michael Jackson,
Ozuna, J Balvin,
Kanye West, everyone.
He's a genius of our generation.
So I want you to meet him.
I never ever imagined this would happen
at twenty years old.
I used to get on the bus and say,
"Play that song that goes..."
I got a feeling
And today, they have the chance to hear
his opinion of each song.
I think that's how you attract people
in other countries.
Out of nowhere you begin to have
a fan base like you never imagined,
because you took the chance
to try something new.
So, we'll let you work.
But you know what to do.
Kill it.
Right on.
The key when evolving musically,
is to spread your talent around the world
for many people to see.
I've collaborated
with 50 Cent, Chris Brown,
T-Pain, Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias.
Each project I've done is completely
different from the one I'm doing next.
So we want to see what you've done
and how he can help.
It'll be really cool.
So I played the song.
I didn't know whether to look at him
or not. I wanted to see his reaction.
The frequencies of that voice
are competing a little with yours.
Okay.
Spending all your money on me
And spending time on me
It's everything... That's helpful.
Thanks very much.
They gave me some good advice
that nourished me.
It'll always be you
A simple mortal like me
and giving me feedback like...
This cold is burning, girl
Where we used to go out to smoke
Where we used to go out to fly
Road to Mars
Tell me if I can find you
Yeah!
Yes. Okay.
Welcome once more to The Signing's stage!
With you,
Tainy,
Yandel,
Nicki Nicole,
Rauw Alejandro,
and Lex Borrero.
We're at a crucial point
in the competition.
It's not just about talent,
but also the smallest details.
We wanted to do something
that could be heard on any planet
and for them to see a new side of Diego.
Miami!
What's up? How's everyone's energy?
DJ, drop it!
Road to space
Yeah
Where we both were
Where we used to go walking
Yeah
Where we used to go out to smoke
Where we used to go out to fly
Yeah
Road to Mars
Yeah
Tell me if I can find you
Yeah
At the speed of light
I've been through a thousand galaxies
And haven't fallen in love again
You're an earthling hard to forget
Give me a signal on the moon
It's getting late
Yeah
Yeah
Road to space
Yeah
Where we both were
Where we used to go out walking
Yeah
Where we used to go out to smoke
Where we used to go out to fly
Road to Mars, yeah
Tell me if I can find you
Yeah!
Yeah!
Baby, there's only one way
Yeah!
Yeah
Chach!
Well, Diego.
I got a bit lost in the song.
On stage, the "Yeah, yeahs..."
Cut back on those.
That can't be the whole song.
If it is, I stop listening
to what you're saying,
and I'm paying more attention
to those sounds, which are distracting.
Focus on what you need to execute.
As you know, there's something we see,
which I think you see as well,
that is knowing when to approach
the audience, planning when to rouse them.
Planning the moment of,
"this is the chorus,
here's when I'm at the front,
and I let the jury know
this is the chorus."
Diego, as always, I loved your energy.
Even if you can create your own genre,
if you can't sing well,
you shouldn't be running
all over the place.
It's the first time you've done something
I don't love.
Okay.
The parts were mixed up,
the verse, the hook...
-I only got what the verse was.
-All mingled.
Knowing I was almost eliminated,
I'm coming back to take on the world.
With a lot of energy and happiness
and ready to kick ass.
"IF YOU LOVE ME"
If you want me to fall in love
Don't say it, you have to show it
My heart is fragile
It's been through a lot of pain
Boy, I can't give it to you
My heart is fragile
It's been through a lot of pain
Boy, I can't give it to you
Show it to me and I'll go with you
My heart says yes but I say no
I'm sorry for the contradiction
I'm going crazy when I see this flow
You got me talking English and Spanish
How can I say it so you understand?
If you want me to fall in love
Don't say it, you have to show it
My heart is fragile
It's been through a lot of pain
Boy, I can't give it to you
My heart is fragile
It's been through a lot of pain
Boy, I can't give it to you
As you came out of nowhere
And now my life is like a fairy tale
I melt just from your look
Thank you very much!
From the start, you've been surprising us
with each thing you do.
I've never heard a rhythm
like this from you, a different vibe.
You gave us a bit of English
there at the end,
I think it was important to add that
to the chorus.
The truth is today we saw an evolution
in what Nashy-Nashai is as an artist.
So, many congratulations,
I liked it a lot.
Thank you very much.
Nashy, truly,
if there's something I like about you,
it's that you always find a way
to meet the challenges
but without losing your style and methods.
The song is incredible,
the structure is great.
You added some rapping,
which is your essence a hundred percent.
I love how you met the challenge,
how you were yourself,
how you paired it with your moves,
and thank you once more for surprising us.
Thank you very much!
-Forget it, she's killing it.
-She sings at another level.
I heard the song when she recorded it,
and the part in English, you heard it,
the tone was like Ariana Grande,
the way it sounded.
I never thought I'd get here.
I'm gonna get on the stage
and connect with my song,
which meets all the requirements.
And I'm gonna connect with the moment.
Drop it, DJ.
"ALWAYS YOU"
I don't know how
To get you out of my system
After a couple of drinks
You're back on my mind
With you, I was happier
Now the days are getting grayer
Everything I see reminds me of you
Let me be sincere with you
My life has become a mess
It hurts me not to have you
It'll always be you
From the start to the end
There's no one I'd love more
Every time I think about you
Your heartbeats run through me
My head gets in a frenzy
I don't understand, baby, how I lost you
You're my element
Like two compatible magnets meeting
You're the center of my circle
Everything we did I remember
I'm like a sea if it didn't have salt
At night my moon doesn't shine the same
It'll always be you
From the start to the end
No one I love more
With me!
Thank you.
Mosmo,
congratulations, you made a great song.
I noticed you're still
a little lost, like...
Not lost, don't misinterpret me,
I mean the movement on stage.
You have to focus
on transmitting the message of the song.
The falsetto was fine. At the end
there was one that was a bit weird,
but, bro, it's falsetto,
not everyone can do it and you can.
So congratulations.
This was one of the best songs
you've given us.
The melody and chorus were pretty catchy.
But I still feel
you have to find yourself as an artist.
I still don't understand your sound,
but thank you for the performance.
The only thing I'd maybe say
in terms of the song...
If it had had a small breakdown with your
guitar, and at least show us, vocally,
a special moment on stage,
I think that would've taken the song
to that next level.
Thank you.
Thank you!
-He owned it. He did a good job.
-Yes.
Today I made a mix... like a unicorn.
The song has a bit of trap,
a bit of reggaeton,
a bit of pop.
It's odd, but it sounds really nice.
I'm happy with what I made in the studio.
You posted a photo and there are comments
The people, they talk
They've been saying you're watching me
You posted a Tweet and you remember me
Facebook said
"In a complicated relationship"
And that you don't want to know anything
Lust has been ignited
Today we're doing it my way
I heard you have a new piece of ass
But with no papers I don't get upset
Yeah
He likes how I go down
That's why he always comes back to me
Lust has been ignited
Today we're doing it my way
It's cool.
Hey, the song was incredible.
Very animated, very fun.
The chorus was super catchy.
I, maybe not on the first, to be clear,
but on the second part,
I would've done a variation.
Remember that...
People will listen to it every day.
And you don't want them to be like,
"Oh, man, I can't listen to the chorus."
"Up to the chorus."
Sometimes there are choruses
that are so catchy that,
"I can't listen to it anymore, please."
How did you feel using a bit of Spanglish?
Sometimes we're not that great in English.
I'm not that good with English.
And it's like...
Making a song this way is a bit harder.
I was pretty comfortable.
I've been singing songs in English
since I was a kid. Ariana Grande.
Black Eyed Peas...
And it was easy
to include that in the chorus.
We expect way more from you, so...
That's it.
That's helpful.
Thank you very much.
This is hard.
-It's really hard.
-It's bad, and we knew it.
-And we're...
-We knew it.
There are many things to evaluate.
I feel nervous.
Because with my last performance
I didn't do very well.
I completely forgot
the lyrics to the song.
We're now in the final stretch.
Improvising and pretending no one noticed,
that's not an option anymore.
What's up, people!
Wow.
Five in the morning
I'm in Miami
"BURNING COLD"
I don't know why I gave myself to you
The time on the clock moving backwards
To see if I go back to when we were two
But I see you're indiscreet
This cold is burning, girl
What do I do
Without your beach in this sand, babe?
Yeah
Why do you leave me on read?
I just want to ride you again
A cold that burns, girl
When it's like an iPod,
I had you like...
I had you turned on like an iPod
I've got all your songs on my iPod
While I remember you
Hey, Miami!
I'm going to do everything you want
I don't know what you expect
You're not the first
She loves me but she denies it
I'm going to...
Everybody!
This cold is burning, girl
What do I do
Without your beach in this sand, babe?
Yeah
Why do you leave me on read, baby?
I just want to ride you again
A cold that burns, girl
Yeah
This cold is...
Without your beach in this sand, babe
Yeah
Why do you leave me on read, baby?
I just want to ride you again
A cold that burns, girl
Yeah
Rmand, bro.
About the challenge.
We wanted you to do a crossover song.
The only issue for me
with this performance is
lyrics and things that could've
been transferred to a different language,
to a different market,
I didn't hear much of that.
Maybe you got a bit lost in the verse,
and we couldn't grasp the lyrics.
That's why it was lacking.
Rauw.
I learned that from you.
You've been doing hip-hop
in front of the mirror every day.
But to make a crossover song,
you need all the elements of the song.
You need a good intro,
a good chorus, and good verses.
For the intro,
I think you could've done better.
I saw in the middle,
I'm not sure if it was part of the song
or if you forgot the lyrics.
You stayed on the "yeah."
What happened there?
Yes, I had some lyrics there
that were in English and Spanish.
Those are details that could cost you.
So, keep that in mind,
come better prepared, always.
This is a competition and we're going
to be very strict with all of you,
because, really, you're all good.
Well, Rmand, I think that tonight,
since it's the second night you've
forgotten the song, it's like, "Wow, bro."
"How can he forget that?" you know?
But it's okay, these things happen.
The thing is,
this is a competition, we're at the end.
We're looking at
any little mistakes you make.
Thanks very much, really.
This round was hard.
I'm not frustrated because I could be out.
Because I could leave or be eliminated,
or be eliminated today...
But because I made
the same mistake again.
I forgot again, man.
Forgot what, dude? The lyrics?
It's like making a mistake
you already made a few days ago.
I mean, it's like you step in a hole,
one you already fell in.
Then you walk over the same hole
and you fall in it again. It's ridiculous.
What do you think about today? We have to...
It's so cool
to share this journey with them.
It's, like, worse for us.
Because they start sharing their stories.
So, they're telling me their story and,
at the same time, I see...
Like, you could be one of
the people we'll eliminate and...
I'm starting to feel attached to you.
Yeah.
Should we eliminate one or two?
I think there's a decision
to be made there.
I feel like I still see the potential
in those three.
I see they know who they are,
where they want to go.
I think both of them...
have made mistakes
throughout the competition. So...
I think it's a difficult decision.
We'll see.
Do we all agree on these three people?
-Yes.
-These three people, yes, we agree.
Tony, bring me these contracts, please.
Mosmo, Diego, Rmand.
Tonight didn't go so well
compared with your friends.
We have to take that into account.
Although it was hard,
that's why you're at the bottom today.
Mosmo, I feel like you're learning
and this has been an experience for you.
Tonight, I think the others
have come up with better songs.
Thank you, Yandel.
Diego.
You chose to focus more
on what you were giving with your body
when what should really matter
is the song.
That's the downside of jumping around
so much, we can't understand the lyrics.
That's why you're here.
Rmand.
We're almost at the finals.
The decision is difficult.
You messed up on stage again.
This is the second time you've messed up.
And we know you're talented in the studio,
and you have a very clear vision,
but,
you're competing with great artists,
you know?
I think this has been an experience
that has taken you to a new place
in each one of your careers.
I'm thankful for each performance,
for each song you've brought us.
But now, what we came here for.
Tony, the contracts.
Mosmo.
Time is your worst enemy.
We think you need to discover a bit more
of who you want to be as an artist.
And we don't have time right now.
Mosmo...
your contract has been terminated.
Thanks.
Blessings to all, long live Mexico.
Thank you, everybody, really.
Thank you.
Blessings.
I feel fine.
I think it's experience,
and that's the reward.
I already won, I won by being here.
I gained friendships, I gained knowledge.
I was able to leave my comfort zone
and, really, I'm super happy
that my friends, who are good people
and have the talent to kill it, are there.
This experience won't happen again.
I've lived through it.
Nobody can take it from me.
Diego.
How does it feel to be here
for the first time?
I didn't want to be here, really.
But, obviously, it's a competition.
I feel there are things I have to improve,
and that's what it means to be an artist,
to always improve and grow,
until you get to the top.
Diego, we like that you took the risk
of making a different song,
that you brought your energy to the stage,
but although we think
you're very talented,
the smallest mistakes
can impact this decision.
Diego.
You're still in the competition.
Thank you.
Rmand.
Tell me why you think
you should stay in the competition.
I won't come up with excuses
for the things I couldn't do right.
I didn't give a hundred percent
of myself today,
but I do believe in myself,
and I believe in my potential.
I believe I have
the capacity to solve this, to fix this.
I'll be honest with you.
We love your talent.
We love your performances.
The audience...
every time you do a performance,
they keep clapping.
But there have been two mistakes.
And those two mistakes weighed on us
when we had to make this decision.
Rmand...
Thank you for all your effort,
for your time in the competition,
and for showing us some of your talent.
-Your contract...
-Stop.
No, stop.
Stop.
Enough.
THE SIGNING
LISTEN TO THE OFFICIAL
THE SIGNING PLAYLIST
Subtitle translation by: Bridget Ochocka
in front of you.
But only one of you will get signed
and become an official Neon16 artist.
Boricua, that's what's up.
We have talent coming
from all over Latin America.
Argentina in the house, baby!
This is it, people! From Mexico!
They're singing songs they've written.
Everyone will be given a challenge,
because this is not just about
a pretty voice
or some nice bars.
That's how I am
In the hood is where I learned
I only saw what we filmed
I've got it on repeat
If you want to surf
I'll take you to the snow
If you want to ski
Which one of you is ready
to become a world superstar?
Your contract has been terminated.
We'll see how high the bar is now.
It's not the end of the world
or my career. I was born for this.
The competition is getting really tough.
I only have two hours
to make this sound good.
How embarrassing!
Spray it if you want,
but I'm not getting wet.
-He can't hear me.
-I can't help you.
I had a bad time.
I'm hungry, you're taking too long...
No, what did you do?
She stresses over absolutely everything.
And I'm like, "Don't freak out."
I'm the total opposite. I'm like, "Om."
And she's like...
And I'm chill.
On a team, you either win together...
or lose together.
THE SIGNING
Gigi, as Rauw told you...
there are three Boricuas here
who have been proud
to have you represent Puerto Rico.
But for me,
character is really important.
Attitude is very important.
Always looking for a solution
is very important.
Because in this business, every day,
you have to solve a problem.
And I think that the opportunity
we've given you,
and what I've seen, doesn't reflect
what I am looking for in an artist.
That's why today,
your contract has been terminated.
Thank you.
I think it's unfair.
They kicked me out for a duo
when I've never failed one before.
He got carried away with
this assistant challenge to eliminate me.
That's it.
I feel so disappointed with this decision.
Not because I really wanted to win,
but because...
I feel like they judged me
based on only one thing,
but all my performances
were totally different.
Modern reggaeton, afrobeat with bachata.
I represented Puerto Rico perfectly
doing old-school. I don't do reggaeton.
Then I threw in some R&B and dancehall.
And today I did hip-hop
because my partner does it.
That's all she's done
in this competition, so...
I was comfortable
because I love to experiment.
I feel disappointed.
Like never getting nominated.
You make just one mistake
and they kick you out.
And that's how it went.
Nashy...
You're safe again.
You're still in the competition.
Nashy,
I know the pressure of being an artist,
of being successful.
And what makes the difference is
when you don't let situations
take over your emotions and make you fail.
You have all the potential in the world,
so, for what's left of the competition,
focus on giving us your best.
Because there won't be any more chances.
-Thanks very much.
-Thanks very much.
I was shaking my head at Lex,
thinking, "No. Don't let her go, please."
There's no more time for excuses.
I want to see who will really
give it their all to win my signature.
THE SIGNING HOUSE
It was a difficult night,
like with every round,
you run the risk of going home.
I'm happy because
it was another chance and...
Well, here we are.
I'll hate the day when I'm eliminated.
-Hi. How are you?
-From the get-go.
-Listen.
-Uncle Lex.
I won't be with you today.
Get ready because
my driver will be there soon
to take you to one of my favorite places.
I hope you use this experience
to listen and learn.
-Yes, Mr. Lex!
-Yes, sir!
I'm a really anxious chick, you know?
I like surprises,
but only up to a point, you know?
It's been a long wait and it's like,
"Come on, bro, what do I have to do?"
My question is, I mean,
they're taking us somewhere, like,
important to him.
But will there be a challenge?
Well, we went to Neon16 the first time.
You know, to assist and everything.
And now, I guess it'll be another
crazy thing he comes up with.
For us, it's very important
to get to know the personal part
of each artist and talent we work with.
-No!
-No!
-All good?
-God, you're so tall.
-Super tall.
-All good?
We get to have fun today.
Did you bring bikinis?
What?
I'll swim naked.
I couldn't believe it.
It was an unforgettable,
beautiful experience.
It was something I needed in my life.
Have you done music videos?
I've done three.
-Let's see them.
-Mosmo.
You have everything I never imagined
With you I lack nothing
From one to ten I give you a hundred
-How much did it cost?
-Eight hundred dollars.
I did a few like that.
Sometimes you do things,
like, "I feel like I have to do this."
It doesn't require much money.
I even put my family
in my first videos, you know?
My brother... And I'd move them around,
they'd do what I'd tell them.
Look... This is my sister.
That's her.
-Yeah, your sister's beautiful.
-You get it?
No. What I mean is...
No, bro.
With all due respect.
No.
No, I was saying, respectfully...
She's a model.
Enough.
Bro, it's better
if you don't say anything.
I mean, it's really hard,
when so many things happen,
to stay grounded.
Having the right people around you,
who know how to care for you is important.
The people
who are really important to you
will be with you for the good and the bad.
When all this is over,
you want to be at home
with the people who really love you
and who have supported you from day one.
Being on the yacht
with Nicki, Rauw, Yandel, and Tainy
was special because I had the chance
to talk to each one of them in depth.
It's an unbelievable opportunity.
Any way you look at it.
And it's twelve people.
I mean, it's not easy.
It's not easy at all.
But I'm also aware that
I'm here because I deserve it,
and I know I do
because I've worked my ass off.
It's cool to go for your dreams.
People who criticize you
or tell you something unconstructive,
they're not in your position.
It was beautiful, you know?
Because you realize
they're really interested in what you do.
And that will stay with me, you know?
Over here, you can't see.
-Hey, Lex!
-Lex!
To my Lex.
Guys, let's get organized...
What's good about reggaeton
is you can combine it.
We love to make ballads,
we love to make... I've even done salsa.
REBEL 11 STUDIOS
Hiya.
Your next challenge
will be to create a crossover song.
A crossover song exceeds the limits
of the genre in which it was created,
and becomes a global song.
To make this even cooler,
I'm going to bring in a friend of mine.
He's been one of the most
influential people for me,
especially when it comes
to this challenge.
He's worked with Michael Jackson,
Ozuna, J Balvin,
Kanye West, everyone.
He's a genius of our generation.
So I want you to meet him.
I never ever imagined this would happen
at twenty years old.
I used to get on the bus and say,
"Play that song that goes..."
I got a feeling
And today, they have the chance to hear
his opinion of each song.
I think that's how you attract people
in other countries.
Out of nowhere you begin to have
a fan base like you never imagined,
because you took the chance
to try something new.
So, we'll let you work.
But you know what to do.
Kill it.
Right on.
The key when evolving musically,
is to spread your talent around the world
for many people to see.
I've collaborated
with 50 Cent, Chris Brown,
T-Pain, Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias.
Each project I've done is completely
different from the one I'm doing next.
So we want to see what you've done
and how he can help.
It'll be really cool.
So I played the song.
I didn't know whether to look at him
or not. I wanted to see his reaction.
The frequencies of that voice
are competing a little with yours.
Okay.
Spending all your money on me
And spending time on me
It's everything... That's helpful.
Thanks very much.
They gave me some good advice
that nourished me.
It'll always be you
A simple mortal like me
and giving me feedback like...
This cold is burning, girl
Where we used to go out to smoke
Where we used to go out to fly
Road to Mars
Tell me if I can find you
Yeah!
Yes. Okay.
Welcome once more to The Signing's stage!
With you,
Tainy,
Yandel,
Nicki Nicole,
Rauw Alejandro,
and Lex Borrero.
We're at a crucial point
in the competition.
It's not just about talent,
but also the smallest details.
We wanted to do something
that could be heard on any planet
and for them to see a new side of Diego.
Miami!
What's up? How's everyone's energy?
DJ, drop it!
Road to space
Yeah
Where we both were
Where we used to go walking
Yeah
Where we used to go out to smoke
Where we used to go out to fly
Yeah
Road to Mars
Yeah
Tell me if I can find you
Yeah
At the speed of light
I've been through a thousand galaxies
And haven't fallen in love again
You're an earthling hard to forget
Give me a signal on the moon
It's getting late
Yeah
Yeah
Road to space
Yeah
Where we both were
Where we used to go out walking
Yeah
Where we used to go out to smoke
Where we used to go out to fly
Road to Mars, yeah
Tell me if I can find you
Yeah!
Yeah!
Baby, there's only one way
Yeah!
Yeah
Chach!
Well, Diego.
I got a bit lost in the song.
On stage, the "Yeah, yeahs..."
Cut back on those.
That can't be the whole song.
If it is, I stop listening
to what you're saying,
and I'm paying more attention
to those sounds, which are distracting.
Focus on what you need to execute.
As you know, there's something we see,
which I think you see as well,
that is knowing when to approach
the audience, planning when to rouse them.
Planning the moment of,
"this is the chorus,
here's when I'm at the front,
and I let the jury know
this is the chorus."
Diego, as always, I loved your energy.
Even if you can create your own genre,
if you can't sing well,
you shouldn't be running
all over the place.
It's the first time you've done something
I don't love.
Okay.
The parts were mixed up,
the verse, the hook...
-I only got what the verse was.
-All mingled.
Knowing I was almost eliminated,
I'm coming back to take on the world.
With a lot of energy and happiness
and ready to kick ass.
"IF YOU LOVE ME"
If you want me to fall in love
Don't say it, you have to show it
My heart is fragile
It's been through a lot of pain
Boy, I can't give it to you
My heart is fragile
It's been through a lot of pain
Boy, I can't give it to you
Show it to me and I'll go with you
My heart says yes but I say no
I'm sorry for the contradiction
I'm going crazy when I see this flow
You got me talking English and Spanish
How can I say it so you understand?
If you want me to fall in love
Don't say it, you have to show it
My heart is fragile
It's been through a lot of pain
Boy, I can't give it to you
My heart is fragile
It's been through a lot of pain
Boy, I can't give it to you
As you came out of nowhere
And now my life is like a fairy tale
I melt just from your look
Thank you very much!
From the start, you've been surprising us
with each thing you do.
I've never heard a rhythm
like this from you, a different vibe.
You gave us a bit of English
there at the end,
I think it was important to add that
to the chorus.
The truth is today we saw an evolution
in what Nashy-Nashai is as an artist.
So, many congratulations,
I liked it a lot.
Thank you very much.
Nashy, truly,
if there's something I like about you,
it's that you always find a way
to meet the challenges
but without losing your style and methods.
The song is incredible,
the structure is great.
You added some rapping,
which is your essence a hundred percent.
I love how you met the challenge,
how you were yourself,
how you paired it with your moves,
and thank you once more for surprising us.
Thank you very much!
-Forget it, she's killing it.
-She sings at another level.
I heard the song when she recorded it,
and the part in English, you heard it,
the tone was like Ariana Grande,
the way it sounded.
I never thought I'd get here.
I'm gonna get on the stage
and connect with my song,
which meets all the requirements.
And I'm gonna connect with the moment.
Drop it, DJ.
"ALWAYS YOU"
I don't know how
To get you out of my system
After a couple of drinks
You're back on my mind
With you, I was happier
Now the days are getting grayer
Everything I see reminds me of you
Let me be sincere with you
My life has become a mess
It hurts me not to have you
It'll always be you
From the start to the end
There's no one I'd love more
Every time I think about you
Your heartbeats run through me
My head gets in a frenzy
I don't understand, baby, how I lost you
You're my element
Like two compatible magnets meeting
You're the center of my circle
Everything we did I remember
I'm like a sea if it didn't have salt
At night my moon doesn't shine the same
It'll always be you
From the start to the end
No one I love more
With me!
Thank you.
Mosmo,
congratulations, you made a great song.
I noticed you're still
a little lost, like...
Not lost, don't misinterpret me,
I mean the movement on stage.
You have to focus
on transmitting the message of the song.
The falsetto was fine. At the end
there was one that was a bit weird,
but, bro, it's falsetto,
not everyone can do it and you can.
So congratulations.
This was one of the best songs
you've given us.
The melody and chorus were pretty catchy.
But I still feel
you have to find yourself as an artist.
I still don't understand your sound,
but thank you for the performance.
The only thing I'd maybe say
in terms of the song...
If it had had a small breakdown with your
guitar, and at least show us, vocally,
a special moment on stage,
I think that would've taken the song
to that next level.
Thank you.
Thank you!
-He owned it. He did a good job.
-Yes.
Today I made a mix... like a unicorn.
The song has a bit of trap,
a bit of reggaeton,
a bit of pop.
It's odd, but it sounds really nice.
I'm happy with what I made in the studio.
You posted a photo and there are comments
The people, they talk
They've been saying you're watching me
You posted a Tweet and you remember me
Facebook said
"In a complicated relationship"
And that you don't want to know anything
Lust has been ignited
Today we're doing it my way
I heard you have a new piece of ass
But with no papers I don't get upset
Yeah
He likes how I go down
That's why he always comes back to me
Lust has been ignited
Today we're doing it my way
It's cool.
Hey, the song was incredible.
Very animated, very fun.
The chorus was super catchy.
I, maybe not on the first, to be clear,
but on the second part,
I would've done a variation.
Remember that...
People will listen to it every day.
And you don't want them to be like,
"Oh, man, I can't listen to the chorus."
"Up to the chorus."
Sometimes there are choruses
that are so catchy that,
"I can't listen to it anymore, please."
How did you feel using a bit of Spanglish?
Sometimes we're not that great in English.
I'm not that good with English.
And it's like...
Making a song this way is a bit harder.
I was pretty comfortable.
I've been singing songs in English
since I was a kid. Ariana Grande.
Black Eyed Peas...
And it was easy
to include that in the chorus.
We expect way more from you, so...
That's it.
That's helpful.
Thank you very much.
This is hard.
-It's really hard.
-It's bad, and we knew it.
-And we're...
-We knew it.
There are many things to evaluate.
I feel nervous.
Because with my last performance
I didn't do very well.
I completely forgot
the lyrics to the song.
We're now in the final stretch.
Improvising and pretending no one noticed,
that's not an option anymore.
What's up, people!
Wow.
Five in the morning
I'm in Miami
"BURNING COLD"
I don't know why I gave myself to you
The time on the clock moving backwards
To see if I go back to when we were two
But I see you're indiscreet
This cold is burning, girl
What do I do
Without your beach in this sand, babe?
Yeah
Why do you leave me on read?
I just want to ride you again
A cold that burns, girl
When it's like an iPod,
I had you like...
I had you turned on like an iPod
I've got all your songs on my iPod
While I remember you
Hey, Miami!
I'm going to do everything you want
I don't know what you expect
You're not the first
She loves me but she denies it
I'm going to...
Everybody!
This cold is burning, girl
What do I do
Without your beach in this sand, babe?
Yeah
Why do you leave me on read, baby?
I just want to ride you again
A cold that burns, girl
Yeah
This cold is...
Without your beach in this sand, babe
Yeah
Why do you leave me on read, baby?
I just want to ride you again
A cold that burns, girl
Yeah
Rmand, bro.
About the challenge.
We wanted you to do a crossover song.
The only issue for me
with this performance is
lyrics and things that could've
been transferred to a different language,
to a different market,
I didn't hear much of that.
Maybe you got a bit lost in the verse,
and we couldn't grasp the lyrics.
That's why it was lacking.
Rauw.
I learned that from you.
You've been doing hip-hop
in front of the mirror every day.
But to make a crossover song,
you need all the elements of the song.
You need a good intro,
a good chorus, and good verses.
For the intro,
I think you could've done better.
I saw in the middle,
I'm not sure if it was part of the song
or if you forgot the lyrics.
You stayed on the "yeah."
What happened there?
Yes, I had some lyrics there
that were in English and Spanish.
Those are details that could cost you.
So, keep that in mind,
come better prepared, always.
This is a competition and we're going
to be very strict with all of you,
because, really, you're all good.
Well, Rmand, I think that tonight,
since it's the second night you've
forgotten the song, it's like, "Wow, bro."
"How can he forget that?" you know?
But it's okay, these things happen.
The thing is,
this is a competition, we're at the end.
We're looking at
any little mistakes you make.
Thanks very much, really.
This round was hard.
I'm not frustrated because I could be out.
Because I could leave or be eliminated,
or be eliminated today...
But because I made
the same mistake again.
I forgot again, man.
Forgot what, dude? The lyrics?
It's like making a mistake
you already made a few days ago.
I mean, it's like you step in a hole,
one you already fell in.
Then you walk over the same hole
and you fall in it again. It's ridiculous.
What do you think about today? We have to...
It's so cool
to share this journey with them.
It's, like, worse for us.
Because they start sharing their stories.
So, they're telling me their story and,
at the same time, I see...
Like, you could be one of
the people we'll eliminate and...
I'm starting to feel attached to you.
Yeah.
Should we eliminate one or two?
I think there's a decision
to be made there.
I feel like I still see the potential
in those three.
I see they know who they are,
where they want to go.
I think both of them...
have made mistakes
throughout the competition. So...
I think it's a difficult decision.
We'll see.
Do we all agree on these three people?
-Yes.
-These three people, yes, we agree.
Tony, bring me these contracts, please.
Mosmo, Diego, Rmand.
Tonight didn't go so well
compared with your friends.
We have to take that into account.
Although it was hard,
that's why you're at the bottom today.
Mosmo, I feel like you're learning
and this has been an experience for you.
Tonight, I think the others
have come up with better songs.
Thank you, Yandel.
Diego.
You chose to focus more
on what you were giving with your body
when what should really matter
is the song.
That's the downside of jumping around
so much, we can't understand the lyrics.
That's why you're here.
Rmand.
We're almost at the finals.
The decision is difficult.
You messed up on stage again.
This is the second time you've messed up.
And we know you're talented in the studio,
and you have a very clear vision,
but,
you're competing with great artists,
you know?
I think this has been an experience
that has taken you to a new place
in each one of your careers.
I'm thankful for each performance,
for each song you've brought us.
But now, what we came here for.
Tony, the contracts.
Mosmo.
Time is your worst enemy.
We think you need to discover a bit more
of who you want to be as an artist.
And we don't have time right now.
Mosmo...
your contract has been terminated.
Thanks.
Blessings to all, long live Mexico.
Thank you, everybody, really.
Thank you.
Blessings.
I feel fine.
I think it's experience,
and that's the reward.
I already won, I won by being here.
I gained friendships, I gained knowledge.
I was able to leave my comfort zone
and, really, I'm super happy
that my friends, who are good people
and have the talent to kill it, are there.
This experience won't happen again.
I've lived through it.
Nobody can take it from me.
Diego.
How does it feel to be here
for the first time?
I didn't want to be here, really.
But, obviously, it's a competition.
I feel there are things I have to improve,
and that's what it means to be an artist,
to always improve and grow,
until you get to the top.
Diego, we like that you took the risk
of making a different song,
that you brought your energy to the stage,
but although we think
you're very talented,
the smallest mistakes
can impact this decision.
Diego.
You're still in the competition.
Thank you.
Rmand.
Tell me why you think
you should stay in the competition.
I won't come up with excuses
for the things I couldn't do right.
I didn't give a hundred percent
of myself today,
but I do believe in myself,
and I believe in my potential.
I believe I have
the capacity to solve this, to fix this.
I'll be honest with you.
We love your talent.
We love your performances.
The audience...
every time you do a performance,
they keep clapping.
But there have been two mistakes.
And those two mistakes weighed on us
when we had to make this decision.
Rmand...
Thank you for all your effort,
for your time in the competition,
and for showing us some of your talent.
-Your contract...
-Stop.
No, stop.
Stop.
Enough.
