Although it’s been several days since Dua Lipa has been the center of attention in Mexico with her series of concerts, the conversation on social networks continues to revolve around Bu Cuarón and her controversial performance as a guest artist. The young singer, daughter of filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón, was in charge of opening one of the concerts of the interpreter of “New Rules” at the GNP Seguros Stadium, an opportunity that ended up becoming a complicated experience.
The controversy arose after a video recorded by attendees at the event went viral, in which Bu Cuarón can be seen going off-key on several occasions during his performance. The public’s reaction was immediate: booing in the stadium and a wave of criticism that quickly spread to social networks.
Criticism and accusations of nepotism
Beyond the vocal performance, many comments questioned her stage presence.
They pointed out that he had reached that position because of his last name and not because of his artistic talent.
The debate about nepotism in the entertainment industry intensified.
With opinions divided between those who defended her right to try and those who considered that she was not prepared for a scenario of such magnitude.
The media pressure did not stop there.
On digital platforms, Bu Cuarón received harsh messages questioning his ability as a singer and his legitimacy within music, a common scenario for young artists debuting in highly exposed spaces.
Bu Cuarón’s response
Faced with the avalanche of criticism, the 21-year-old singer decided to give her version.
Through a video posted on his Instagram account, he showed himself singing and playing the piano, with the intention of demonstrating that his performance at the concert did not fully reflect his artistic ability.
However, the video did not entirely stem the criticism.
Some users persisted in asking why, if she could sing well in a controlled environment, she had failed to do so in a performance as important as that of Dua Lipa.
It was then that Bu Cuarón offered a more direct explanation.
The young woman revealed that she was warned just two days before the concert and that she arrived at the performance with jet lag.
A temporary disorder that occurs when traveling rapidly between time zones and can cause extreme fatigue, disorientation and physical difficulties, including voice.
