Facundo Figueroa appeared this Sunday on Got Talent Argentina (Telefe) and performed a free and improvised dance while the National Anthem played. His impressive performance was celebrated by the members of the program, but many social media users felt that it was a lack of respect for the patriotic song.

As soon as the presentation finished, the jury only had praise for the contestant from Tucumán. The first to speak was Florencia Peña, who wanted to know if she had prepared the choreography. “I simply came out to feel the anthem, it was an improvisation,” the young man responded.

Emir Abdul Gani took the floor and predicted a huge future for Facundo. “I don’t know what you will come to me with in the next stage, but I know that you were born to be an artist. This is nothing, get ready. Congratulations on your talent,” he told her. Then, seeing that the participant started crying, the entire jury stood up and restrained him.

The surprise would not end there. Demonstrating his total confidence in the dancer, Emir pressed the golden button and that led Facundo to go directly to the semifinal of the competition.

The reaction of the networks to the interpretation that a participant made of the anthem in “Got Talent Argentina”

Despite this emotional moment that was experienced in the television studio, Facundo’s presentation on Got Talent Argentina was not well received by some viewers and users of social networks. “There is a guy who has just danced the Anthem. What I just saw seemed very disrespectful to me”, “Although the performance was flawed, it seemed a lot to me”, and “How embarrassing and they not only hugged him, they pressed the golden button”, were some of the comments.

Furthermore, as usually happens every time a program becomes a trend on Twitter, it didn’t take long for memes to appear about it. We share the most ingenious ones:

“I couldn’t!”: the bad moment that a Got Talent Argentina participant had when she made a mistake

María Celeste Chacón’s performance was another of the highlights this Sunday on Got Talent Argentina (Telefe). Her passage through her cycle did not have the result she expected, since her nerves played tricks on her and she did not manage to finish the song she was performing with her guitar. “I couldn’t! The nerves,” she said when she made a mistake and Abel Pintos pressed the red button.

The anguish was evident on the face of the woman from Mendoza, who admitted that she felt overcome by the situation and overwhelmed by being in a television studio. Seeing this unease, Flor Peña spoke up and tried to encourage him.

“Listen to me, you came here because you obviously had the need to show your art. I understand that the guitar is something that you are passionate about because beyond having failed, it was nice to see how you connected with the instrument,” the reality jury told him. Then, she asked: “What are you feeling right now?” “Literally, stress, nervousness… the lights, the scenery,” the contestant responded.

Beyond the setback she had in the cycle, the participant highlighted the importance of having been encouraged to share her love for music. “I came to this stage out of passion, because in my house I do it out of passion,” she said. Finally, the entire jury agreed that the young woman should not continue in the contest although she was told to take away a good memory for the simple fact of being encouraged to face her fears.
