The sheep mask is uncovered. It’s Maria José Campanario. Neither Los Javis nor Ana Milán nor Alaska sensed its presence in Mask Singer. But, even with the disguise uncovered, the woman who is known to be a woman of Jesulín de Ubrique sounds unrecognizable.
It is not the most famous of the edition, but it produces a special interest because, all of a sudden, the viewer is discovering a woman who is not as she was told. With much more speech than other renowned celebrities who go through this same talent show of Antena 3 and only stay in platitudes at the time of the final interview. Probably because they have done it more for the cache than anything else. So there is not much motivation to share with the public.
Nothing to do with María José Campanario, who transmits having enjoyed playing, singing and dancing. Enthusiastic, she tells Arturo Valls about her love for music. While the jury watches in astonishment. Their prejudices prevented them from discerning that a woman like her could be singing one of Dover’s songs while being stuck in a doll.
The removal of Ovejita’s mask has been a kind of liberation. Not only because of the burden of the disguise, but also in the eye of the audience itself that has been reunited with someone we have always known in the mouths of others. They have almost always spoken for her at the same time she was silent.
María José Campanario has represented that consort of pink magazine fame that thought that the most dignified thing to do was not to refute. The problem is that with time we may have realized that certain silences gave more and more wings to the lies of rumorology. Turning people into dolls. But dolls more monstrous than those of Mask Singer. Taking off the costume of Ovejita we have seen a very normal girl and maybe we have also understood that, sometimes, you should not let them oppress you in a mask with which they speak for you. Something that used to a type of television that monetized live scorn and made more vulnerable people who were just trying to live without bothering anyone.
