Peruvian actress and model Milett Figueroa, who has gained notoriety for her participation in various television programs, has taken a new step in her career by debuting as a judge on the popular singing contest ‘Singing 2024 ‘, hosted by Marcelo Tinelli. During a recent interview with the program ‘LAM ‘, Figueroa took the opportunity to reflect on his experience in singing reality shows, in particular, on his time on ‘The artist of the year’ Gisela Valcárcel’s program.
Milett shared that despite her efforts to stand out in ‘Artist of the year ‘, she was not able to choose the songs she sang, which limited her performance in the competition. “I was very dictated to the songs I sang in a reality show and they never let me sing something I wanted, so, by contract, I had to abide by the situation,” revealed Figueroa. These statements generated great interest, as they question the creative freedom in this type of talent shows.
