“I am a bit sad that the other day at the Goyas they did not count on me to sing the song and that they have counted on another person who, with all due respect, is not to blame for any of this, I think the one who organized the event should have thought of me”, he lamented at the exit of the wake.
“Because you are leaving It has been number one almost all over the world. The song helped the movie, the movie helped the song. They have robbed me of the position that corresponded to me. As everyone knows I am the original singer of the song, and at the very least they should have brought me to sing instead of bringing another singer. Nobody explains it to him, “insisted the artist, unable to understand why she was not at the tribute.
However, he has assured that he will not take legal action against the Academy because “that has already been done.” Jeanette remains with the affection that the film director always showed to her mythical song: “He was in love with her. It was the song he liked the most, and if you don’t know it, her wife Lali put it on Because you are leaving and ten minutes later, he passed away,” she said excitedly.
