'Yo Soy El Artista' Recap: Austin Mahone Drops By; Boris Izaguirre Dresses Up Like Mario Quintero [Photos]
The second week of "Yo Soy El Artista" continued to let contestants try out to make it into Olga Tañon's artist school.
But the show went even bigger this week with Austin Mahone dropping by to perform "Mmm Yeah" for the crowd. Mahone told Lucero that he was very lucky to be so young and doing what he wanted to be doing.
Mahone also said that all he knows how to say in Spanish is "I love you." It was very fitting that the singer was a guest on the show. He -- just like the influencers -- started his career on the Internet.
The judges were enthusiastic from the beginning of the show, and Boris Izaguirre decided to switch things up and dressed up like Mario Quintero, whose style he admired. Quintero loved the look and gave Izaguirre some dancing lessons.
One contestant told Luis Fonsi that now he was missing a hat, so he gave Fonsi the one he was wearing.
Once again, the show proved to attract a diverse range of contestants. Brazilian Natalie, Mexican Ryan and Puerto Rican Luis Anibal made it through to the next round.
Anibal chose to sing one of Fonsi's song.
"I was more nervous than you," the judge said. "It's an honor that you chose my song."
Colombian David chose to sing Prince Royce's "Stand By Me." He explained that he felt he could identify with Royce's music.
Another contestant, Wendy, auditioned with one of Tañon's song, and all Tañon asked was that Wendy didn't say she has looked up to the artist since she was young.
"Otherwise, you're calling me old," Tañon said.
This round proved to be more difficult. Both the influencers and the judges let fewer people go through. Even Lucero saved fewer people. At the end of the night, she had to pick between Eduar Ryvak and Abigail.
But Tañon was overall impressed by the talent.
"I love seeing talented people in this competition," she said. "This is why this is the best show on Hispanic and American TV."
Lucero ended up saving Ryvak.
