The return of Amaia Montero in front of La Oreja de Van Gogh has become one of the most talked-about musical events of the year. The singer returned to the stage with the group that launched her to stardom, in a concert held in Bilbao which was full of emotion, nostalgia and also intense debates in social networks.
After almost two decades away from the group, the artist reunited with thousands of fans who were eagerly waiting to hear her voice again in classics such as “Rosas“, “La Playa” y “You Can Count On Me“. The evening was marked by a strong sentimental charge, both for the performer and for the audience that accompanied her in this important chapter of her career.
Was Amaia Montero a disaster in her return to La Oreja de Van Gogh?
Beyond the music, one of the most powerful moments of the night was Amaia’s sincere statement about the difficult personal process she went through before singing live again.
In front of the audience, the singer acknowledged that for a long time she believed she would never return to the stage.
“There were times when I thought I would never set foot on a stage again,” he confessed with visible emotion. He even assured that in his life he descended “to hell itself”, in reference to the emotional and mental health problems he faced during the last years.
His words provoked an immediate ovation and numerous expressions of support from his followers, who celebrated not only his artistic comeback, but also the strength he showed to overcome a deeply painful stage.
The concert also generated divided comments. Some users shared videos on social networks pointing out certain intonation problems and vocal difficulties during some performances.
Amaia herself approached the subject with honesty and a sense of humor when she acknowledged to the audience that one of her songs “came out badly”, a comment that was received with applause and affection.
Several Spanish media also pointed out that part of the failures could be due to technical sound problems, which would have affected the perception of the vocal performance.
A historic reunion
