Valeria Castro performed with Dani Fernández at Gala 4 of Operación Triunfo. They both performed ‘What if we do it?’, a song included in the successful ‘La jauría’, Dani’s latest album. Valeria Castro’s vocal performance was hesitant, marked by a strange diction that has nothing to do with what we are used to seeing live from Valeria, and the nets have gone for her jugular.
There have been several artists who have appeared on the networks to defend Valeria Castro’s musical quality, perfectly demonstrated in such notable albums as ‘with affection and care’ or ‘the body after all’, which already has a place reserved among the best albums of 2025.
Dani Fernández himself has written in Valeria, your talent, sensitivity, professionalism and camaraderie are indisputable. You will always have me by your side, up and down the stage, because anyone who knows you knows what a wonderful person you are. I admire you and love you, friend 🌹.
Viva Sweden, who have also collaborated with her and have just released ‘Made in Times of Peace’, have written: “We know Valeria Castro well, we share a studio and stage, and she not only appeases you with her voice, but she does it with her presence alone… We don’t know what happened, but you should wash your mouth with bleach before losing respect and empathy for such a wonderful person.”
Someone as unexpected as Alcalá Norte has contributed: “The fandoms of brats who harass you and insult you if you say you don’t like the topic of their favorite triumph yesterday were all pictured throwing shit at Valeria Castro like hell. You should wash your big mouth before throwing shit at a great reference like Valeria.”
Andrés Suárez contributes: «Valeria Castro is one of the best voices and authors I have encountered. We’ll see where it is in 20 years and where the criticism is today. What disgusting social networks we are left with, of gratuitous cowardly evil. And now I’m going to play their latest album, which is amazing. Health!”. And Roi Méndez adds: «We are so used to ultra-processed voices with autotune that anything that is far from perfect, shocks you. There are a thousand factors that influence a live show. “It is enough to see Valeria Castro in concert to understand that she is one of the most talented artists in this country.”
Thank you Valeria Castro for giving me the OT moment of the year #OTGala4 pic.twitter.com/p0zLCNi8ay

Artists are more than a performance, a note or a television moment… Judging ourselves by such a static photograph of our work is perverse, and as always, it hides behind the anonymity of the networks and many times, total ignorance of what is really happening.
