Gala 5 of Tu cara suena me has been dotted with the controversy that Merche's performance has sparked on Friday night. The singer had to get into the skin of Ana Mena to interpret the song Quiero decirte, for which she was accompanied by Abraham Mateo, who also collaborates on the original.
Both artists demonstrated a special connection on stage, leaving a great performance for the spectators by the contestant, so much so that many were very surprised by the great result. Many of those who were able to see it, both on Friday night and at Atresplayer Premium, showed their surprise on social networks.
Specifically, there were several who wanted to show their surprise at the great resemblance between Merche's voice and Ana Mena's, even going so far as to say that this perfection could only be achieved by lip-synching. These statements especially bothered the artist, who came out of these rumors, making her annoyance clear.
The woman from Cádiz used Twitter to make it clear that "nobody does playback" in Your face sounds to me. The explanation is "that the choirs are tremendously strong". In addition, going out to explain, she criticized the sound of the Antena 3 program: "I hallucinate, the truth, and I'm not cool at all."
"The man who did the mixing didn't have a good day, and I'm sorry," he added in a clear stick to the Gestmusic sound team, the producer behind the talent of imitators. For those less knowledgeable about music and programs, it must be explained that in this case everything points to the fact that Ana Mena and Abraham Mateo's record company ceded the musical base of the song, which included the choruses.
It seems that the sound of the recording of the gala was not the most appropriate, leaving those choirs that Ana Mena herself would have recorded far above, going so far as to cover up those of Merche, which is why it could seem that it is a playback. This situation, together with a good imitation of Merche have caused this commotion.
Despite everything, this issue has not deducted points from the contestant, who has achieved a good handful of points from the jury and the public, so she can be more than satisfied. Of course, they have not been enough to overcome Jadel, the winner of the night thanks to his imitation of Luis Miguel.
