Biography
Objetivo Fama (sometimes abbreviated as OF, Spanish for Goal: Fame) is a Puerto Rican singing talent contest that has been on air for over five years on WLII, the Univision outlet in Puerto Rico; and on Telefutura in the mainland United States. It is produced by Soraya Sánchez ES Television.
Winners of the show include Janina from Puerto Rico, Anaís from Dominican Republic, Marlon from Cuba, Juan Vélez from Puerto Rico, Cristina Eustace from Mexico and last season winner Fabian Torres from Puerto Rico
The program was loosely inspired by the late Puerto Rican singing talent contest and variety show, Voces en Función, and the Spanish reality show, Operación Triunfo. Twenty or so contestants are "bunkered" in a studio/house where they will live together for several months while participating in a weekly show where one of them is eliminated, en route to find a "young star". The winner of the show gets a record deal from Univision Music Group. The show's fifth season began in February 9, 2008.
Contestants are evaluated by a panel of judges, and viewers can vote on who they want to stay or leave the competition. Also, during the week they are assisted by singing and dancing teachers, stylists, costume designers, personal trainers, etc. in the studio/house to help them shape and improve their talent and image. The show is often said to be the Spanish version of American Idol, although technically wispeaking, the official Spanish version of that show is Latin American Idol.
Other successful artists that came from the show include Kany García, Mary Ann, Víctor Santiago, Ektor and Rosangela Abreu.
