The program started on March 2 Cover Night and due to the signal of Radiotelevisión Española, we saw figures such as Mónica Naranjo, Chanel Terrero, Juan Magán and Miguel Bosé acting as judges for aspiring singers who interpret classic songs from popular culture.
However, a few days after its premiere, there was already controversy, as Miguel Bosé ranted against one of the participants, arguing that a heterosexual man cannot sing the Gloria Gaynor classic. I Will Survive.
This happened in its most recent edition, in which contestant Daniel Norbert performed the 70s song, a theme that, by the way, is one of the most iconic in disco music and is even considered a hymn within the LGBTQ+ community.
Daniel’s version had a more sober tone, since he changed the instrumentation for a more minimalist one and although his interpretation was good for the rest of the jury, for Miguel Bosé, these changes were not very successful.
This song can’t be sung by a straight man. It is a song of the patrimony of the woman and of the pen. You look too straight. You have to be very sissy to say it well.
The singer’s comments Bandit lover caused laughter among the attendees and the jury. However, the reactions of users on social networks were very different, since there were those who considered Miguel Bosé’s words offensive, while others supported him.
One of the comments in this regard states that it is “the only sane thing he has said in recent years” and yet another assures that “heterophobia exists and I am a fan.” Other users point out that the young man only “did a performance, it was not with the flag of representing a community or something like that.”
On the other hand, there are those who say that, in general, Daniel’s interpretation was not good, regardless of whether it was a topic that pondered the flag of the community or not.
