Ratings and reception
The season was panned by the audience and critics. The series premiere was characterized by many technical failures as the SuperStar app did not work for many users, preventing public involvement. Constant error messages appeared on the screen. On Twitter, an avalanche of complaints and jokes about the problem.
There was also plenty of criticism reserved for hosts Fernanda Lima and André Marques, who failed to control the stage, and for the experts Ivete Sangalo, Fábio Jr. and Dinho Ouro Preto, for their lack of objectivity and anxiety in their speeches, sometimes contradictory.
