¡Viva el Sueño! (Live the Dream!) is a reality competition to find new solo musical talent. Many are those who dream of being big but very few who reach the success in the music world. ¡Viva el Sueño! will give that opportunity to one of the 14 participants who were chosen from hundreds of applicants. They will fight, on stage, to achieve their dream and receive 200 thousand dollars in prizes and sponsorships. The first-of-its-kind reality competition will pit 14 professional artists who have not yet had their big break and give viewers the chance to select Latin music's next big superstar. Some have gained fame in their countries of origin, others have had the opportunity to perform side by side with some of the industry's biggest stars, but they all still struggle in relative anonymity. " Viva el Sueno!" premiered Sunday, August 30 at 8pm ET/PT (7pm Central) on the Univision Network.

¡Viva el Sueño! provides viewers with the intensity, drama and excitement of reality television as these artists face fierce competition, grueling rehearsals, and the emotional stress of preparing for a live show week after week. Each will showcase their unique talent in stellar musical productions, performing some of Latin music's greatest hits. They will give their all in the hopes of winning $200,000 in cash and prizes but, most importantly, for the one chance to achieve their dream of stardom. The Winner of the !Viva el Sueño! is Ana Isabelle

Overview

[edit]

The program is hosted by Hollywood actor and Latin American star Cristián de la Fuente. Model/actress Carolina Guerra provides details and reactions from backstage after each artist's performance. In addition, three Latin radio personalities from across the U.S. make up the expert panel of judges who evaluate the contestants’ performances. They help viewers decide which contestants have the star-quality to make it through the competition. They are: Houston's radio host Raúl Brindis from Univision Radio's Estéreo Latino 102.9 FM; Los Angeles’ Regional Mexican DJ Stephanie Himonidis "La Chiquibaby" from Univision's La Nueva 101.9 FM; and Miami's radio personality Enrique Santos from Univision's La Kalle 98.3 FM.

Each Sunday night, the last three contestants face "El Momento Clave de Bud Light" (Bud Light's Key Moment) as viewers anticipate who gets immunity that night and be given another opportunity to sing for the live audience. The last person left in the spotlight is the person eliminated from the competition.

The "Sala de Ensayo de Coca-Cola" (Coca-Cola Rehearsal Studio) highlights contestant practices as well as interviews in which each contestant shares their dreams and aspirations. Additionally, fans can visit an online section of Univision.com (keyword "Coca-Cola") and submit a short video of a singing performance for a chance to win $10,000. Univision.com selects the top five finalists whose videos are featured online where users have a chance to vote for their favorite videos. Users that vote on the videos will be entered into a sweepstakes and have an opportunity to win a $2,000 cash prize.

The contestant, selected by the judges, are given coaching by a celebrity/artist in the "Apoyo y Guia" (Support and Guidance) segment. This helps them become a better competitor and prepare for the following week.

"Salon Rojo de Target" (Target Red Room) is the exclusive backstage lounge where viewers will get an in-depth look at each artist as they prepare to face another night of competition.

Episode 10

[edit]
Premiered November 1, 2009

The night started with a gender war and as prize winners receive a trip to Las Vegas to see the Latin Grammy and walk the red carpet. The first to sing were the women. They sang a song by Anais, "Lo Que Son Las Cosas" and men sang "Tantita Pena" by Alejandro Fernández. Although there were some disagreement between the judges, two groups received good reviews. Chiquibaby called the three women the three musketeers and Enrique Santos called the men, the Fantastic Seven. In the end, thanks to which the public is involved, the judges scored a draw and all participants are prepared to travel to Las Vegas. For being protected by the judges last week, Fedro had an afternoon of guidance and support of Angélica Vale. For the singer, it was a surprise because Angelica was among the first people who trusted him early in his career. Fedro took the stage to sing El Ultimo Viernes by Espinoza Paz. All the artists came down to the stage to hear the public's vote. Cristina was the first saved by public's vote and sang Una Noche Mas by Jennifer Lopez. Zone D 'Tambora did not have the public's support and thus passed into the danger zone. The public, however, did vote for Ana Isabelle and her challenge was to interpret a song by band: "Culpable O Inocente" by Jenni Rivera. Paulina Rubio came as a special guest to the Viva el Sueño scenario to sing "Ni Rosas Ni Juguetes" de from her album "Gran City Pop". After several weeks of mystery about gold content of the judges, Chiquibaby announced they would give a second chance to a participant who already left the competition. But, the artist won't be named until next week. Ojeda, Diego and Yessica were next. Among them was only one who would be saved and the other two would go to the danger zone. The lucky one was Ojeda to the challenge of the week he sang "Como Fue" by José José. Zone D 'Tambora, Yessica and Diego were in the danger zone and Cristian de la Fuente announced that starting this week there will be no rescue by peers, they only tell the public vote. The members of Zone D 'Tambora received the most votes and therefore remained in the competition and sang "Entra En Mi Vida" by Sin Bandera. Diego and Yessica were with nerves and fought over the votes of the public. The public supported Diego and so, for Yessica, the end came in Viva el Sueño. The Peruvian took the stage, dressed like a cowboy to sing "Por Amarte" by Pepe Aguilar. Carolina Guerra came to give the name of the last protected judges as early as next week, judges will not protect any artist and fight in a dogfight for the votes of the public. The members of Zone D 'Tambora judges fell in love and so were chosen as the protégés of the night. To leave the show, Yessica sang "Ojala Que Llueva Café" by Juan Luis Guerra.[16]
