¡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
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.
