Maialen is known in the world of music for being in charge of Chica Solesalto and also for having participated in Operación Triunfo 2020, where she stayed at the gates of the final. The Navarrese shared some details of the 'talent show' in an interview for the podcast I had a doubt.
The host of the format, Judith Tiral, recalled the controversy starring Patricia Conde in MasterChef Celebrity 7: "Basically, she said that they whore you on purpose so that you lose your temper and go viral on Twitter because you are an edge... In OT Is that so too?"
The singer replied: "There are things. For example, they make one person sing with another because they know they get along better, worse, or because there is salsa. They can say no, but they do."
However, he pointed out that nothing comparable to the controversy of the culinary program happens: "Take you a little to the limit, I think also a little. Of course, sometimes they bitch you a bit, but not such 'hardcore' things. I have also done that once, a little bit of manipulation".
The presenter then asked her if there were favoritisms in the contest and pointed out: "I like her super well and she seems like an artist, but Nia was given all the songs to show off."
Maialen answered yes and added: "In the end it's normal. It's a TV show, people have to see it. Simply with the clothes and hairstyles you could tell that theirs was much more prepared." Later, she compared herself to her partner: "Also because she gave 'chirivueltas'. I went out with the microphone and played Julieta Venegas, which I love, but she didn't move from my place."
Maialen also shared in I had a doubt what it was like to experience the temporary cancellation of Operación Triunfo 2020 due to the pandemic. The artist recalled that they had held a gala inside the Academy: "TVE workers on set did not work, but they told us that surely the next day everything would continue normal. That seems regular to me. They had to know that this was not the case ".
He then explained how he reacted when Noemí Galera told them that the program was suspended due to the coronavirus crisis: "I left. When things like this happen, it's like 'I don't want you to hug me'. They started crying and hugging. I didn't want to I wanted to go." In addition, she pointed out that the contestants discovered the situation suddenly: "When we arrived, everyone was already locked up at home, scared and clapping through the window."
