So, we have something to talk about, don't we?
Adéla Jergová is a singer from Slovakia. Now, we don't talk much about Slovakia here, and that's part of the problem. You see, her singing career really started when she moved to Los Angeles in 2022, aged 18. She moved there to compete in a reality series - Dream Academy - where the prize, in a very Korean-style competition, was to be in a 6-piece group called Katseye.
The show was in 2023, about a year after she moved there to train for the academy, and she competed with twenty other young women. In the first episode, half the women sang, and half danced, and then fan voting occurred. Adéla was on the dancing side - she danced to "Pink Venom" in a group....
...and then the fans got to vote.
The voting ended up being very skewed along national borders - and, since women all over the world were competing, women from populous countries got more votes. Despite her excellent dancing - and she IS an excellent dancer. Classically trained - she literally came in 20th.
This is her dance, singled out from the group. Sorry, she was great compared to the rest of her group.
She was robbed, and if you are watching the Netflix series Pop Star Academy: Katseye, you KNOW that the producers have a lot of regrets about how the fan voting happened. Slovakia was the smallest country represented and it showed in the voting.
Plus she didn't even get to sing.
But that's OK. The first episode of Dream Academy aired August 19, 2023 and by September 2024, she ALREADY had her first solo single released to critical acclaim. This song, released in October 2024, was her second single.... and yeah, it's about her experience.
Her debut EP is coming later this year, and I can't wait, because her poppy electronic sound is super compelling... and frankly better than anything Katseye has done thus far.
