" and men sang "Tantita Pena" by Alejandro Fernández
. Although there were some disagreement between the judges, two groups received good reviews.

All the artists came down to the stage to hear the publics' vote. Cristina was the first saved by publics' vote and sang Una Noche Mas by Jennifer Lopez.

came as a special guest to the Viva el Sueño scenario to sing "Ni Rosas Ni Juguetes
" de from her album "Gran City Pop

But, the artist won't be named until next week. Ojeda, Diego and Yessica were next. Among them was only one who would be saved and the other two would go to the danger zone. The lucky one was Ojeda to the challenge of the week he sang "Como Fue" by José José
. Zone D 'Tambora, Yessica and Diego were in the danger zone and Cristian de la Fuente announced that starting this week there will be no rescue by peers, they only tell the public vote. The members of Zone D 'Tambora received the most votes and therefore remained in the competition and sang "Entra En Mi Vida" by Sin Bandera
. Diego and Yessica were with nerves and fought over the votes of the public. The public supported Diego and so, for Yessica, the end came in Viva el Sueño. The Peruvian took the stage, dressed like a cowboy to sing "Por Amarte" by Pepe Aguilar
. Carolina Guerra came to give the name of the last protected judges as early as next week, judges will not protect any artist and fight in a dogfight for the votes of the public.
