The sixth season of the television program Got Talent España aired on Telecinco from January 15, 2021, to April 30, 2021, usually going out on a Friday at 10:00 PM. The talent competition was hosted once again by Santi Millán and produced by Fremantle. Season 6 featured the return of Paz Padilla, Dani Martínez, Edurne and Risto Mejide to the judging panel, although due to the death of her husband, Paz Padilla did not partake in filming the auditions, leaving the panel with just three members. When Padilla rejoined the panel for the live shows, her seat was shifted to the third position, whilst Dani Martínez took the fourth. At the end of the season, it was announced, after much speculation, that Paz Padilla would not be returning to the show after three seasons, and the following season featured only Mejide, Edurne and Martínez as judges. The winner of the sixth season was singing ventriloquist Celia Muñoz, while the runner-up was magician and illusionist Santi Marcilla. The sixth season achieved an average audience share of 19.8%, with an average viewing figure of 2,745,000.
Format Each judge has the power to press a red buzzer in front of them if they dislike a performance, with four buzzers stopping the act immediately (or three in the case of the auditions). The Golden Buzzer, a well-known and very popular staple by this point, returned, allowing each judge and the host to send one act straight to the live semi-finals. In the semi-finals, acts performed live for the public vote, with the judges offering critiques. During the live shows of this season, no judge buzzed apart from Risto Mejide, who buzzed once intentionally and had an act press his buzzer on his behalf. A collective Golden Buzzer was available during these rounds, allowing the judges to unanimously send one standout act straight to the Grand Final. The winner was ultimately decided by the public vote in the Grand Final, securing not only the title of Spain's most talented act but also a cash prize and national recognition.
Golden Buzzer The Golden Buzzer was used 12 times during the season: Otamatone Player – Juanjo Monserrat (Mejide), Magician – Yao (Mejide & Edurne), Pianist – Anton Cortes (Mejide & Martínez), Dance Crew – Immortals Corporation (Edurne), Opera Singer – Juan Carlos Martos (Edurne & Martínez), Comedy Dance Group – Enjoy Productions (Martínez), Singer – Elsa Tortonda (Mejide, Edurne & Martínez), Drag Flamenco Dancer – Albert Infante (Millán), Dance Duo – Papa & Neylia (Millán, on behalf of Padilla in the auditions, Live Shows – Mejide, Edurne, Padilla & Martínez), Drag Singer – Chus Serrano (Live Shows – Mejide, Edurne, Padilla & Martínez), Ventriloquist Singer and eventual winner – Celia Muñoz (Live Shows – Mejide, Edurne, Padilla & Martínez).
