Amaia Romero made waves with her electrifying performance on the show La Revuelta, which aired on December 19, 2024. The former winner of Operación Triunfo entranced viewers with her new single, "Tengo un pensamiento," showcased through an impressive long take sequence. While the show has stood out for its engaging format, Amaia's performance left viewers buzzing, marking it as one of the most memorable moments on television this year.
During her appearance, host David Broncano playfully asked Amaia, "No hemos hablado nada de regalos, ¿no tienes nada?" She replied with charm, "Pues tengo... Algo tengo, sí" just before launching her performance. Beginning on the couch of the Teatro Príncipe Gran Vía, her voice filled the room as she sang the opening lines: "Tengo un pensamiento que no me deja sola. A veces no siento que está ahí, pero me acompaña a dormir." This cozy opening was quickly transformed as the scene unfolded beyond the stage.
The production made clever use of the show's environment, orchestrated to take Amaia on a captivating transition from the studio to the streets of Madrid, where she was joined by musicians and dancers. This ambitious production featured 13 musicians, 24 singers, and 40 extras, all contributing to the vibrant street performance—an emergent moment emphasizing the holiday spirit.
Social media exploded with reactions, dubbing the performance "the gift of the year." Many viewers expressed their awe, posting comments such as, "Impresionante. Televisión de calidad. Imposible tener un final mejor. Amaia increíble. Gracias," showcasing the high regard audiences held for Amaia’s artistry. The spectacle also earned praise for its creative execution—a seamless blend of live performance and dynamic filming techniques.
Amaia’s new single is part of her upcoming album entitled Si abro los ojos no es real, set to release on March 31, 2024. Ahead of this significant launch, the instant connection she forged with the audience was palpable, hinting at what might be to come. This will be her third studio album following Pero no pasa nada and Cuando no sé quién soy, both of which marked her evolution as one of Spain's beloved artists.
Many who watched remarked on the sheer scale and artistry of Amaia's performance, pointing out its energetic choreography and innovative visuals. Leading to her iconic moment on the van, sprinkled with confetti and cheers, social media posts flooded the platforms with enthusiastic reflections on the performance. One viewer noted, "Cuando sea un yayo y en Cachitos de la Nochevieja de 2054 pongan esto, podré decir que lo vi en directo. Maravillosa Amaia Romero y La Revuelta. Gracias."
Following her performance, the show featured appearances from former footballer Gerard Piqué and actress Silvia Alonso, but it was the stunning presentation by Amaia Romero which truly stole the spotlight. Many viewers felt this segment perfectly encapsulated the program’s essence and set the bar high for future performances.
Besides her impressive vocal talent, Amaia’s charm lies within her relatable personality. During her interview with Broncano, she joked about everyday pleasures such as her knack for waking up early and the quirky nature of personal hygiene—her candidness only amplifying her connection with fans. This authentic charm coupled with her musical prowess positions her as both talented and relatable.
The execution of the segment highlighted Amaia's commitment to her craft. She and her team dedicated three weeks for rehearsals, emphasizing their determination to create something unprecedented for her audience. Even during the chaos of holiday season preparations, the artists involved made magic happen, illustrating just how much effort was poured to delight viewers.
Despite La Revuelta’s upcoming hiatus until 2025—a special holiday episode was canceled due to the health incident affecting renowned singer Raphael—the momentum created by Amaia's performance promises to resonate long after the curtain closes. Her undeniable talent, coupled with innovative choreography and engaging storytelling, has solidified the evening's show as historic.
Amaia Romero's artistry is continuously refreshing, driven by her ability to weave her life experiences and humor seamlessly through her music.
