Rocio Colette Acuña Calzada (born June 3, 1982 in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, Mexico) is a Mexican singer who was one of the 4 finalists of the 5th generation of the popular Mexican reality singing show La Academia. Colette won 2nd place, behind the first place winner Samuel Castelan Marini. Colette's second place caused disagreement in her many followers. Some claimed that Samuel's first place nomination was arranged by the show's production team because of the final concert having taken place in Veracruz (Samuel's native city) but others said it was due to the problems with her voice. After winning 2nd place at La Academia 5th Generation, Sony Music offered Colette a contract to work with them. It is confirmed that famous Spanish composer Rafael Perez Botija will produce her new album. Rafael Perez Botija has produced famous Mexican artists such as José José and Lucero; he also has worked with famous Spanish singer Rocío Dúrcal. ==Biography== Colette, from the beginning of the show, was considered to be amongst the favorites and likely to win the contest. She was the first to cause a standing ovation with her Spanish interpretation of Frank Sinatra's "My Way". One of the critics, Mexican performing artist Lolita Cortes, cried, congratulated her, and stated that she was honored to be part of Colette's beginning career. One of Colette's memorable moments happened during the same concert when her mother Leonor Calzada came to visit live after having been submitted to a delicate operation and performed alongside her daughter. The moment was so emotive that tears and applause from the audience immediately followed. Other memorable interpretations at La Academia include ''"Coming Out of the Dark"'' from Gloria Estefan, ''"El Amor Coloca"'' from Monica Naranjo ''"Malo"'' from Spanish singer Bebe and ''"La Cima del Cielo"'' form Venezuelan singer and composer Ricardo Montaner. One of Colette's toughest moments at La Academia occurred when she suffered a dysfunction with her vocal cords causing her nodules and affecting her singing performance. Colette's talent comes from her family, her aunt Consuelo Vidal was the last singer of famous Mexican composer Agustín Lara. Colette was submitted to surgery in March at Los Angeles, California due to her problem in the vocal cords. It is known the operation was quite successful. In May Colette will travel to Spain to begin production of her new album. Recently in a solemn session, Colette was named ''"Hija Predilecta de Ciudad Victoria"'': Favorite Daughter of Ciudad Victoria, her home town. That honour was given by the mayor of that city. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rocio Colette Acuña Calzada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
