David Bisbal

Spanish singer David Bisbal is giving interviews this week covering several personal topics. He says he has always chosen a healthy life, avoiding alcohol and drugs, and describes turning to his partner Rosanna Zanetti for comfort when worries build up. He also addressed the rights to his viral catchphrase '¿Cómo están los máquinas?', saying he did not register it himself and believes his record label did, a detail he says surprised him.

Interest in Operación Triunfo is resurging in Spain, with coverage celebrating the ten most memorable moments from the show's first edition, described as a programme that changed Spanish television forever. The 2001 talent show launched the careers of artists like David Bisbal and Rosa López and remains a cultural touchstone, prompting fans to revisit its biggest moments and debate its lasting impact on Spanish pop culture.
