“Wasn’t the vote real?” TV viewers are shocked by the first semi-final of the show “Ir talents”.

Latvian Talent Show Sparks Controversy, Viewers Question Authenticity

Latvia’s much-anticipated talent show, "Ir Talanti," began with a bang last Friday, but not necessarily for the right reasons. While the first semi-final showcased a diverse array of skilled performers, whispers of staged results and a lack of variety left viewers questioning the show’s legitimacy.

Guntis Rosenbergs, a prominent Latvian figure, took to Twitter to voice his concerns: "Well, anyway! In the first semi-final of the talent show, the audience decides to send two singers and one aerial acrobat to the final. I guess we are a very good country of singers. Singing is a rather traditional talent. I would like more variety. @tv3lv #IrTalent."

Rosenbergs’ comment resonated with many viewers who felt the emphasis on traditional talent, particularly singing, lacked innovation and excitement. The voting process itself also came under fire, with viewers like "@Esteruxx_" pointing out suspicious occurrences: "Kip recorded the entire ‘immersion’ and announced it again with a bell? No one looked sad or surprised… #irtalant".

The commenters’ unease extended beyond the results. The show’s format, which restricts the judging panel to providing suggestions rather than critiques, drew criticism for potentially deterring genuine audience engagement. As "@Kalniic" tweeted: "It is not interesting that the jury only has to speak suggestions so that they do not influence the audience’s vote #irtalant."

Adding to the intrigue, "@archi_balds" observed a seemingly insignificant detail about judge Janis: "Janis has shaved his mustache. No mustaches, just Stubble. 🥸#irtalant."

The mounting skepticism culminated in a direct accusation of rigged results from "@Skaiihigh": "I don’t understand, this has all been decided already? Looks like the voting wasn’t real??? #irtalant".

Adding fuel to the fire, details of the upcoming second semi-final, scheduled for December 8th, were announced. Twelve more competitors remain, vying for the coveted spot in the finale.

Controversies aside, "Ir Talanti" promises a diverse showcase of talent, ranging from singers and dancers to musicians, creative performers, and circus acts. Only time will tell if the show can regain the audience’s trust and deliver a truly captivating talent competition.
