Streamer Martín Cirio crashes Popstars, taunts former judge

Martín Cirio, a prominent Argentine streamer, made an unexpected and memorable appearance on the revived reality competition 'Popstars Argentina.' Hosted by Nicolás Vázquez, the show's latest iteration aims for a multiplatform approach, and Cirio joined as a "spiritual coach," a role that blended his characteristic humor with a touch of irony.

During the live broadcast, Cirio took the stage to enthusiastic audience applause. He delivered an a cappella rendition of Christina Aguilera's hit song "Pero me acuerdo de ti." His performance was infused with his signature comedic style, delighting the audience and the judges.

Following his musical moment, Cirio engaged in a playful exchange with host Nicolás Vázquez. Vázquez highlighted Cirio's journey as an example of perseverance. Cirio, in turn, seized the opportunity to humorously recall his failed audition for the original 'Popstars' two decades prior. He directed a lighthearted jab at Afo Verde, who was a judge during that original casting and had rejected him.

"I was so bad when I didn't get into Popstars that I couldn't listen to music for six months," Cirio joked, celebrating his current presence on the show's stage. He then playfully taunted Verde, saying, "Look who you underestimated, Afo Verde!" Vázquez quickly intervened, humorously pointing out that Verde was instrumental in bringing him back to the show. Cirio laughed, acknowledging the quick change of heart, and quipped, "Quick change of opinion."
