Spanish Radio Show Offers Support to Struggling 'Operación Triunfo' Star

Spanish Radio Hosts Show Empathy for Struggling 'Operación Triunfo' Star Madrid, Spain – A recent news segment on the popular Spanish radio show "Cuerpos Especiales," hosted by Eva Soriano and Nacho García, has sparked conversation about the financial challenges faced by young artists in Spain. The show focused on Lucas Curotto, a former contestant from the 2023 season of the hit talent show "Operación Triunfo." News outlets recently reported that Curotto was working as a waiter in a Madrid cafe. Soriano and García expressed their sympathy for Curotto's situation, stating, "Sentimos mucho, @Lucas_Curotto, que no tengas unos padres ricos." (We are very sorry, @Lucas_Curotto, that you don't have rich parents.) They used this as a springboard to discuss the systemic issues that make it difficult for many talented artists to make a living wage. García poignantly added, "Es algo por lo que han pasado todos los cantantes que escuchamos... salvo los que tienen padres que salen en azul en la Wikipedia." (It's something that all the singers we listen to have gone through... except those whose parents are listed in blue on Wikipedia.) The segment highlights the reality of balancing artistic aspirations with the need for financial stability. While the hosts' comments were laced with humor, their underlying message of support for Curotto and other artists resonated with listeners and viewers.
