So far, both editions of Fronteras have been almost entirely external suggestions, with the exception of Bratty in Cruzando la Frontera 2.

In Fronteras 2, the broadcaster has made use of Odds for the NF, with the most likely winner represented by the Mexican heart, followed by a red heart for second and yellow hearts for the others.

The broadcasters are having art designed, but it is yet to be revealed.

The first Fronteras had a voting system of 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 points in DMs, while the second edition did 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, and 1 points via Typeform.

The NF took place over a short period of time (a week total) in Edition VI. Here are the results of the first Fronteras:

Fronteras 2 was the first one with graphics, as well as the first with a live show, which took place on December 12, 2019, at 8:00 CST. While Know Me Too Well won both the televote and the international juries, Final Feliz managed to get more points overall.

The voting took place over three weeks, and there were a total of 8 international juries, 3 domestic juries, and a televote. The domestic juries, who were Bearly, Carla, and Sel, each chose a Mexican celebrity to vote as. Bearly was Natalia Jimenez, Carla was Jesus Navarro, and Sel was Paulina Rubio. After the show, Bearly said, "The televote was determined off of the opinion poll done in #national\_finals a while ago as well as the reactions of my friends. 400 points were allotted for the televote."

Leo Rojas

**Juan Leonardo Santillia Rojas** (born October 18, 1984) is an Ecuadorian musician. He won the fifth season of the television show *Das Supertalent*, the German version of *Britain's Got Talent*.

He represented the Peru at the I Eurovision Americas Song Contest, in San José, Costa Rica, with the song '*El Cóndor Pasa*', obtaining the 10th place out of 13.

## Biography

Rojas came from his home country to Spain in 2000 while his family remained in Ecuador. From there, he went to Germany with a tourist visa repeatedly. He lives with his Polish wife in Berlin, where he made money as a street performer. A passerby informed him about the talent show *Das Supertalent*. He applied for the fifth season in 2011 and was able to qualify for the final rounds. With an interpretation of "El cóndor pasa" with the panflute and other South American wind instruments, he came through the semi-finals. This resulted in a reunion of the musician with his mother from Ecuador, causing an emotional performance. At the finals on 17 December 2011, Rojas played the instrumental track "The Lonely Shepherd", written by James Last, which had become a hit in 1977 when performed by Last and Gheorghe Zamfir. Rojas won the competition with a distinct lead.

His winning song was released after the competition and ranked at #48 on the German sales chart during the week of Christmas. On 27 January 2012, his first album of known instrumental pieces was released, titled Spirit of the Hawk. Produced by Dieter Bohlen, the album reached the Top 5 on the charts in the German-speaking nations, and by the end of February had achieved gold status in Germany.
