Overview
- Gala 5 opened with contestants performing Leire Martínez’s solo track “Mi nombre,” and the OT judge joined them on stage for the number.
- Leire thanked the audience and cast after the embrace on stage, telling viewers she “needed a little hug.”
- Presenter Chenoa publicly praised her, telling Leire she was already “an eminence” and that she “crowned” herself “the queen” with the performance.
- Academy director Noemí Galera said the contestants chose the song to show care for Leire, without delving into off‑show issues.
- The broadcast coincided with La Oreja de Van Gogh putting tickets on sale for a tour led by returning singer Amaia Montero, after an early technical glitch that was resolved later in the day.
