The name is due to the great authority of the audience in each day of the event. From pressing to lengthen presentations favorite artists to interruptions with catcalls to singers and comedians who are not talented or funny, booing to prevent them to complete their show and force them to step off from the stage. In that case, in Chile it is said that "''El Monstruo'' ate the artist". The audience at Viña del Mar International Song Festival is the only one in the world that has received a special name. This creates an expectation in people attending the show, waiting for the slightest opportunity to show their intolerance.

2012 Viña Del Mar International Song Festival
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by  2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following  0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is ...

Antorcha (award)
The ''Antorcha'' (') was an award given to the artists who participate in the Viña del Mar International Song Festival according to audience reaction. It was created in 1983 in honor of the paper torches that people lit in the stands of Quinta Vergara. In January 2015, this award was eliminated in favor of the '' Gaviota''. The reason is due to the devaluation that the award had suffered in previous years, including the "excessive" intervention of the presenters, who had to interrupt the presentation on four occasions. Trophy The trophy has the shape of a torch, supported by three cylindrical bars that suspend it. It is inserted in a wooden base. Originally, one torch was plated in silver, but later, and to regulate the delivery of the '' Gaviotas de Oro'', another torch was created, plated in gold. This shaped their names: The ''Antorcha de Plata'' and the ''Antorcha de Oro''. The trophy is made in Chile, by a local company called ''Broncerías Chile''. Antorcha de Plata The ...
