Chilevisión launches 'Fiebre de Canto' with new celebrity contestants

Chilevisión announced the first group of participants for its upcoming prime‑time talent competition "Fiebre de Canto," hosted by Diana Bolocco. The initial lineup includes Alessia Traverso, known from Gran Hermano Chile and The Voice Chile; dancer Geraldine Muñoz, a veteran of the spin‑off show "Fiebre de Baile"; and mountain‑bike athlete José Pablo "Jota" Saavedra. Additional names such as Juan Pedro Verdier, Camila Andrade, Nelson Mauri, Julio Milostich, Fernando Larraín, Eva Gómez, Matías Oviedo and Etienne Bobenrieth were also disclosed.

The judging panel comprises Verónica Villarroel, Emilia Dides, Luis Jara and returning critic Vasco Moulian. Social‑media reactions were mixed: some users criticized the selection, calling for non‑celebrity participants, while many expressed support and encouragement for the newcomers. The announcements signal the network’s push to revitalize its nighttime lineup with the new music‑focused reality format.

The show is expected to premiere later this year, aiming to attract a broad Chilean audience through a blend of music performance and celebrity appeal.
