A tense moment unfolded on the Chilean singing competition "Fiebre de Canto" when reality TV personality Fanny Cuevas directly addressed the judges and comedian Claudio Michaux. After performing with Mariela Montero, Cuevas turned her attention to the panel, specifically targeting Michaux, who provides comedic commentary on the show.
Pay him for mocking and laughing at the participants. An easy job. Let him come sing here.
Cuevas accused Michaux of having an "easy job" and suggested he should try singing on stage himself. "Pay him for mocking and laughing at the participants. An easy job. Let him come sing here," she stated, while Michaux defended himself, shouting that he had "the best job in the world."
I had the best job in the world.
The confrontation escalated as Cuevas then directed her criticism towards the judging panel. "It is a lack of respect for me that part of the jury is mocking or practically covering their ears when I sing," she declared. Judge Luis Jara, visibly uncomfortable, responded by saying he did not know what expression he might have made but insisted that mocking someone was the last thing he would do as a human being.
It is a lack of respect for me that part of the jury is mocking or practically covering their ears when I sing.
