A video of Marcela Mistral has recently gone viral, showing her singing a song in English and sparking rumors about a possible foray into the Anglo market as a singer. Both Marcela and her husband Poncho de Nigris have released songs in the past with modest results, so they may now be considering exploring new horizons and aiming higher.
The song performed by Marcela Mistral is the classic "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," known for Gloria Gaynor's disco version, although originally released by Frankie Valli in 1967. Following the release of the video, Marcela received negative criticism for her performance, being considered by many as lacking. Some users suggested that perhaps it would be better if she stopped releasing music.
However, some comments pointed out that artists like Peso Pluma, Yeri Mua, or Bad Bunny have achieved recognition despite not having an exceptional voice, so Poncho de Nigris' wife should also be valued, as her performance is not so bad and shows good English pronunciation.
It has been noted that Marcela chose a song that demands a notable vocal range, and although she has shown some progress, she does not equal Gloria Gaynor's performance, the version she attempted to emulate. Some suggest that experimenting with different singing styles could improve her performance.
So far, Marcela Mistral has not responded to the criticism received for her rendition of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," remaining silent amidst the controversy.
