If, minutes before beginning the interview, Eva González had been allowed to take off her heels and lie down on the couch, this journalist would have found her completely asleep. Eva González is “exhausted.” She doesn’t even know how many hours she has worked in recent days. It doesn’t matter, the premiere of The Voice “deserves it.”
“It’s not just interviews, photocalls, press… It’s that at the same time we are recording the program. Look, yesterday I arrived at Antena 3 at two in the afternoon and I don’t even remember what time I left. If they give me a room here, it’s more profitable for me than going home,” the presenter confesses with a laugh. She decides that since we’re not going to record it, then “I’ll make myself more comfortable.”
These are very intense days in a season in which all television stations want to be the leaders. And so The Adult Voice resounds again tonight, and there are nerves. “It’s like the first day of school, even though it has been through so many editions and so many seasons,” says Eva González. “It’s having new teachers, the school material changes… It’s like when you sit at your desk, you open a new book and you say ‘let’s see what I’m going to learn this year.'”
This time La Voz does come loaded with new books and companions. With Luis Fonsi, Malú, Pablo López and Antonio Orozco as coaches, this new edition brings an important novelty in its mechanics that will make the battle between them much more than a battle: the super block. This is the usual blocking, but with the privilege that it can be used when the coach has already turned around.
“It’s a lot of fun,” the presenter says with a laugh. “It is true that the coaches get along very well and that their reactions, their emotion, their anger, their tears are seen as is, but the super blockade is going to produce very funny situations, but other more compromising ones.”
The ‘coaches’ in the end are ‘playing’ with people’s dreams
Eva González doesn’t even want to imagine that it would be her turn to be a coach, but what if she were one of the contestants? Just telling him this makes him burst out laughing: “What are you saying! I’m very sorry for singing. Where there isn’t anything, you can’t get it. In other words, shoemaker to your shoes.”
He only accepts if he doesn’t have to sing, so the only thing we can do is find out which coach he would choose.
Musical talent is one of the rams of Antena 3’s entertainment: in its last edition, the program remained the leader in its broadcast nights with an 18.6% screen share, significantly improving the data of the previous one. A tranquility that is transferred to the entire team and also to its presenter.
Audiences do not depend on what a program is like but on what they put in front of you
Eva González does not lie to us: “When I get up on Saturday I look at the hearings.” However, perhaps because of that success, “it’s not something that keeps me up at night.” “I have always thought that a presenter when doing a program has to give the most of himself, and I am very calm that we do a program giving the maximum,” she says, adding that “the audiences in the end do not depend “so much about what happens in the program or how the program is, but about what they put in front of you.”
