He winner of each category is chosen “one week before the event” by a professional jury who has voted “for their favorite in secret and before a notary.” Among the jury are senior officials from the Marketing, Communication and Entertainment department of companies such as Netflix, Nivea or Pelonio.

The truth is that although dozens of influencers Not only did they attend the gala but they showed on their social networks everything that the preparation for an event of these characteristics —with his ‘Get ready with me’—or with the choice of dresses and suits, were some of the familiar faces who did not attend the Idol in 2024. Among them is the well-known María Pombo, who was traveling in New York.

Even so, Dulceida herself chose to downplay these “absences” and declared to the media that she actually does not believe there are “many” and that “a lot of importance is given to it outside”, in reference to the media, to generate controversy. . “But there are people who for personal reasons could not come,” she explained, and others who preferred not to come, but the important thing, she added, was everyone who had decided to go.

The controversies of the 2024 Idol Awards

Hours before the ceremony, the tiktoker Large Stelapublished a video in which he explained that although initially I wasn’t “very motivated” to go to Idol, yes I was going to go. However, she took advantage of her space to criticize one of the decisions of the gala organized by Dulceida, specifically that she was not credited for the ‘photocall’. The truth is that there are different types of invitations to these events, those that involve attending the gala and those that also allow you to walk the red carpet in front of dozens of accredited photographers. This was not the case with Grande, who complained that not being able to walk the red carpet did not allow her to “bring out” her “full potential.”

However, the great controversy of the 2024 Idol Awards It took place a few hours before the ceremony, when several media outlets reported on the mysterious disappearance of the photograph announcing the nominees in the Authenticity category, among whom was the controversial María Pombo. Many assumed that this category disappearedso Pombo and the rest of the nominees—Andrea Compton, Ger and Samantha Hudson—lost the possibility of losing their award. It was not so. The ceremony did not skip this award, which ended up going to the young Ger (GerSanc), the young comedian Germán Sánchez Campos, born in Fuenlabrada (Madrid) in 1994, who has conquered social networks.
