Cristina Castaño, who entered the semifinal with a strong track record, confirmed her position by honoring Paloma San Basilio with 'La fiesta terminó', earning another perfect score from the jury and high marks from viewers. Paula Koops faced a tight race for the last finalist spot, ultimately prevailing after a closely contested vote against Sole Giménez. Koops’ performance of 'Una rosa es una rosa', coached by guest mentor Ana Torroja, proved decisive in the final tally.

The show maintained its tradition of variety, with Leonor Lavado energizing the audience by channeling Melody’s 'Ilarie', and Aníbal Gómez delivering a memorable version of Radiohead’s 'Creep', which even earned the top score from Florentino Fernández. Jesulín de Ubrique also took the stage with a rendition of Manolo Tena’s 'Sangre española', adding to the night’s diverse musical lineup.
