During the third gala of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ on Telecinco, presenter Jesús Vázquez found it necessary to address the controversy generated on social networks regarding the choice of songs that the famous participants in the talent show should dance to. Audience criticism focused on the apparent disconnect between the music genres and the assigned dances.
Faced with the growing controversy, Jesús Vázquez took a moment at the gala to clarify the situation: “I want to talk about something that has been going around the networks, and that has also happened to me, when we say that they do a foxtrot or a chachachá is not the classic song of a foxtrot or a chachachá. We take modern, current songs, and we put the rhythm, the pattern and the sound so that they do the steps. Maybe it is a song that is not a chachachá “.
However, the explanation failed to calm criticism from the program’s demanding audience, who expressed their skepticism on social networks. “We have protested so much that they have had to explain the music,” said one user. “La Macarena a samba? Don’t hump me…” insisted another spectator, reflecting the public’s lack of conviction.
The audience continued to share their opinions on Twitter, with comments such as “Well, you’re not right, next time you’ll play ‘Thriller’ in the background while they dance sevillanas. No, Jesús Vázquez, no” and “Yes, come on. The Macarena had a rhythm of fucking samba”. Criticism suggests the need for greater consistency between the music and dance styles on the show.
Opinions vary, with some viewers highlighting the need to modernize ballroom dancing and make it more attractive, while others express their preference for a more classical approach to the contest. The controversy over the choice of songs promises to continue being a topic of debate in future broadcasts of ‘Dancing with the Stars’.
