Merche defends herself against accusations of playback in 'Your face sounds familiar': "I'm not cool at all"

Tu cara me suena is one of the most successful formats on Antena 3. That is why all those followers of the format who cannot wait until it is broadcast on Friday nights have the option of watching the program in advance on Atresplayer Premium. That is why many users who do not have this platform often run into 'spoilers' on social networks of the best performances of the next gala. One of the latest controversies was starred by Merche, who imitates Ana Mena in the next program, accompanied by Abraham Mateo. The singer has had to step out to clarify a detail.

In the fifth gala of the program, in its tenth season, the interpreter of Abre tu mente and Eres tú will get into the skin of Ana Mena to interpret Quiero decirte with Abraham Mateo. In fact, she will get so into the role that the result is spectacular and seems practically impossible. And it is that the singer from Cádiz imitates her partner so well that she can even seem that she is lip-syncing. In fact, Merche herself has reappeared on networks to clarify that it is a technical problem.

Due to the criticism, where many have accused her of using playback in a program where imitation is the most important thing, Merche has decided to speak out on Twitter. Through a comment of hers, the artist has responded to a user who accused her of using this resource. "Nobody does playback, what happens is that the choruses are tremendously strong and I hallucinate, the truth is, I'm not cool at all. The man who did the mixing did not have a good day and I'm sorry," said the singer.

Judging by what he says, the contestants of Tu cara me suena sing live, but the original choruses of the songs are added. In the case of Ana Mena's theme, the subsequent editing was not done correctly. Her voice remained in the background and Mena's choirs took center stage in Merche's performance. "We contestants don't record backing vocals. It's always the original backing vocals, only this time they're so loud they don't let my voice through," she explains.

Even some viewers of the program have stepped forward to confirm the words of the interpreter. A young woman who was in the audience on that program assures that the explanation of the woman from Cádiz is true. "I attest to what she says! We were on the set and she was totally listened to, a bad montage is not the singer's fault. She did it great," wrote a user, responding to Merche's tweet. Despite everything, Merche's performance was sublime and spectacular.
