The press release above is from the official MAO’s Teen website. I am still disappointed because it doesn't tell you anything about the contestants, not even the talent winners talent (she sang "Quando m'en vo," by the way.) My complaint isn’t futile; check out one of last years press releases for comparison, CLICK HERE.
