Christina Aguilera was honored at the Billboards Latin Music Awards and received the ‘Spirit of Hope’ recognition for her “extensive philanthropic work.” The world-renowned singer took the stage at the Watsco Center in the city of Miami to give the acceptance speech, but she did so in her native language: English.
Criticism erupted on social networks in against the interpreter due to this situation for which they had to provide simultaneous translation during the transmission. “Thank you very much,” was the only part of his speech that he expressed in Spanish.
These are some of the messages left by viewers on Telemundo’s social networks.
“Incredible that he receives a Latin Billboard award and doesn’t speak Spanish…Very strange”, “Tremendous song in Spanish and that of a speech in English, that is unacceptable”, “Everything is very nice Christina, tremendous voice, but after so many years of career and the support that Latinos always give you, you should speak a little more Spanish ”, “She only needed to give her speech in Spanish: they are Latino awards, even if she had written and would have read in Spanish”, “How ridiculous that she does not speak Spanish when she has an award that they gave her for being Latina” and “Why does she not speak Spanish? She forgot”, they said on social networks.
Christina Aguilera took the stage amid much applause from those present at the Watsco Center, wearing a very shiny black dress and long to the floor, with a plunging neckline and sleeves.
In her most recent musical album ‘Aguilera’, the singer once again explored music in Spanish and had collaborations with Christian Nodal, Tini and Ozuna. This occurs after in the year 2000 he released ‘My reflection’, his first album in this language, which had great successes such as “Come with me”, also known as “Solamente tú ”.
