Singer Abel Pintos Abruptly Leaves Judging Panel After Participant's Shocking Revelation

Singer Abel Pintos made a dramatic exit from his judging position on the reality show "Es mi sueño" (It's My Dream) after a surprising revelation from participant Gretel Tomas. Pintos had delivered a detailed critique of Tomas's lyrical rendition of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow," commending her talent and strongly advising her to focus on her breathing technique.

"I'm going to start with the least comfortable part. I don't think this was a better performance than the previous one. There's still an issue with air," Pintos stated. He added, "I'm not criticizing at all because it would be disrespectful, because you have technical work that I don't know who is behind, but congratulations. My total admiration. You are very well instructed."

I'm going to start with the least comfortable part. I don't think this was a better performance than the previous one. There's still an issue with air.

Pintos emphasized that his advice stemmed from recognizing her immense talent and dedication. "I tell you this only because when one has such talent, the demands are similar. What you do with your voice, the talent you have, and how much you clearly work for that instrument is very notable, it's truly different," he elaborated.

I'm not criticizing at all because it would be disrespectful, because you have technical work that I don't know who is behind, but congratulations. My total admiration. You are very well instructed.

However, the situation shifted dramatically when fellow judge Carlos Baute asked Tomas if she received singing lessons. Her simple response, "No," left Pintos visibly stunned. "See, simple. Let's edit everything Abel said," Baute remarked as Pintos covered his face with his hands in disbelief.

"Worse, I can't believe it," Pintos exclaimed, rising from his chair. Fellow judges Jimena Barón and Joaquín Levinton noted his departure, with Barón saying, "Abel is leaving." Pintos did not leave the studio entirely but approached Tomas's parents to congratulate them, acknowledging her self-taught talent and their support.

No.

Returning to the stage, Pintos addressed Tomas again: "Since everything I said was useless, then all the more reason to think about where you're going to breathe. The rest is unbelievable." Jimena Barón humorously compared Pintos's critique to telling Lionel Messi he kicked a goal poorly, a comparison Pintos accepted, admitting his error in assuming formal training.

Worse, I can't believe it.
