Isabel Pantoja’s last concert in Bilbao has left its mark, not only for its spectacular nature, but also for the incidents that took place among her fans, culminating in an expulsion by the tonadillera’s security team. However, what has captured everyone’s attention are not only the altercations during the event, but also the strong statements of the singer Massiel, who criticized the tonadillera.
The winner of the Eurovision Song Contest in 1968 with La, La, La, was forceful when stating that she did not consider herself Pantoja’s partner: “She was not my partner. It has nothing to do with it.”
The veteran singer distinguished her career from the interpreter of Se me amor el alma, emphasizing that her preference fell on artists such as Ana Belén and Víctor Manuel. Furthermore, she suggested that the success of the tonadillera was due, in part, to an intense advertising campaign since Paquirri’s tragic death: “If this woman doesn’t fill up, not even God fills up.”
The words of the Eurovision winner reveal a clear distancing, denying any possibility of collaboration: “I am not a Pantojista, I am nothing.”
The controversy has broken out after Massiel, with his characteristic sense of humor, shared his state of health at the New Year’s concert of ‘Stella Maris’, the musical group created by Los Javis for their series La Mesías.
In that same place, the singer also commented on Frederick of Denmark’s kiss to Mary Donaldson during his proclamation as King, highlighting love and duty in that situation.
