‘Zenit’ and the false generational harmony | Cinema and Television
Why is it that when televisions offer a musical program they think that it has not provided both good music, a very efficient and a striking set design that did not follow the poor version of the lighting and parpellejant, stroboscopic, sin of Eurovision? And more and more it has to be competitive. Your face sounds familiar to me, Operation Triumph, X Factor, Objectiu Paki —shamefully rebatejat OP Fest—, Euphoria…i ara Zenitha Canadian invention that is popular with La Voz for the audiences of the world. The first two nights of this TV3 contest are going to be Galdos. So problems in the inaugural program. One week later, Manuel Navarro’s in-ear headphones failed and he lost performance without being able to hear the audio properly. The presenter, Miki Núñez, aware of how he had damaged his performance, will promise to be able to repeat it at the end of the program. A promise is felt because it is not going to invalidate the votes that are presented with reference to the technically failed actions. Yo Zenith It is going to end without donating the second opportunity, nor is it a symbolic promise to the singer. To finish the season, one other day, while TV3 broadcast live a parliamentary response from President Illa, the broadcast will be interrupted by a video of Samantha Gelabert’s performance at Zenith. Quinze seconds of shame.
Finally, everything is going to be able to feel the sense of bewilderment of a technique of the house. With music and live viewing, a very unusual detail, the contest has rules of jockeying that are as basic as postisses. It is easy to discover the singer who can please all audiences because, as Nuñez repeats, the music is not old. For this troballa, the professional singers (with different careers and resumes) who participate perform with one hundred spectators-jurats grouped in groups of 25 depending on the generation to which they are supposed to belong, captains for musicians or singers of the fifth seva. The public is divided between centennials (Z, under 27 years old), millennials (Y, 28-43), generation X (44-59) and boomers (B, over 60). But all artists are eligible to vote for every guest. To improve the score, people don’t have to play karaoke. For this band, the viewer from home can donate between 10 and 15 points to each artist. What’s more, at the end of the program the score will be five points.
Problems. The gentility of the jurat, of which we only know the leaders, is that it is hardly possible to have scores per round, since they have an optional band that goes from 1 to 25. Evidently, neither the members of the jurat nor the public that votes are coetanis. They do not have the mateixa edat. Això yes, all are contemporanis, from a mateixa època. But being contemporary does not mean having the mateix alè, since the audiences of each mitjà have the same biaix that can reduce the disparity. What can be said to be of a generation? The philosopher Ernesto Castro refutes the idea because it supposed an imprecise affinity between born people at a certain time. What sociological relevance – that is the question – is there a definition of generation that groups people of different nationalities and vocations according to a criterion as arbitrary as the age of birth?
For a few months, Ana Pastor, at La Sexta, is going to embolden with a contest on teams of celebrities, spanning generations, who have to answer questions about, say, general culture. There, in a new way, he demonstrated that the generational categories are not fixed, the generations are three (Yeyé, 1943-67; Guay, 1968-87, i Like, 1988-2005). I lie Zenith close the concord between the grups d’edat, TOP generationhere it is deia, anava more cap to the battle. It will last three months. In fact, whether we believe or not that there are three, four or vint generations, it is also useful when it comes to making a television show. The one who couldn’t be is that he continued to avorrit.
