After becoming the first Argentine singer to fill the Vélez stadium with her “Disciplina Tour”, Lali Esposito expressed his surprise upon learning he is not nominated for the Press Gardel in the Pop category.
Despite having made history and being considered the Queen of Pop in Argentina, it turns out that the first Almost angels is only nominated in the “Best Short Film” category for her video clip of “DisciplineAnd that powerfully captured the attention of her thousands of fans, but it also made noise for her.
In Intrusos (America, 1.30 pm) they made an improvised piece of furniture with the artist and consulted her about it. “Gardel’s nominations have been announced, being a pop icon, how much does it matter to you to be or not to be at the awards ceremony?” asked Guido Záffora, program speaker.
“No, I hope this record, I don’t know if this record will be pop like ‘Muchachos’ by La Mosca. I don’t know if I’ll get to that Pop…“, she launched ironically after not being nominated in the music category in which she stands out the most.
And he threw that joke away because in its place they put the famous pitch theme with which the Argentine national team’s World Cup celebrations are identified. Furthermore, in the short list, the platform song of La Mosca competes with “Una mujer como tú”, by Luciano Pereyra and Los Ángeles Azules: and “La triple T”, by Tini Stoessel.
In any case, Espósito supported the award, despite not appreciating its immense success and its constant achievements within the genre in which it stands out: “But… they are our prizes. I am very respectful, I have always been with the Gardel Awards. Above all, I remember giving it a lot of importance and publicly saying, I mean, giving it the importance that our awards deserve.”
“I still think so. In the end, the non-nomination, you can say at the moment… ‘how strange this’. But hey, that’s what you vote for and you don’t define yourself in artistic terms. I’m very good with music that I’m doing, with the genre of music I choose to make and then there will be those who consider it or not. In the end it’s super subjective and the world rarely rewards, “he acknowledged.
Finally, true to his good vibes style, he ended the song with humor and sent a salute to the CAPIF (Argentine Chamber of Phonogram and Videogram Producers), which has the task of voting year after year in this distinction for the best of music local: “When it’s your turn you have fun and when you don’t complain… And that’s why we’re here. I send a big kiss to CAPIF. Long live CAPIF pop.”
The anger of Lali Espósito fans with the Gardel Awards
Last Monday, on the Los Premios Gardel Instagram page they shared this year’s nominations and it was surprising that Lali Espósito was only nominated in the “Best Short Film” category for her song “Disciplina”. Thus, the pop idol will compete against “La Triple T” by Tini and “Los Años Salvajes” by Fito Páez.
But of course what caught our attention is that Lali was not included in the Pop category, her specialty. And that’s why many of her followers and fans have raised the cry to heaven. Better said, with words, through social networks.
“Lali Espósito is the first Argentine woman to fill the Vélez stadium, and moreover to make pop music, and the Gardel Awards didn’t take her into consideration. What a fraud,” fired an indignant Twitter user. “I can’t believe that Lali Espósito hasn’t been nominated in the pop category when she has been the faithful and only reference in that genre for years,” shot another through the same social network.
