The controversy over the former winner of the Sanremo Festival does not seem to stop. Let’s find out the details together.
There is still talk of Mahmood, although this time the Feast of Sanremo nor the Eurovision Song Contest. In fact, the Sardinian-born singer has managed to make giant leaps in his career in recent years.
In a short time he found himself on the most historic and important stage of the Bel Paese, namely that of the Ariston, where in 2019 he performed over the notes of his Soldi, a song that immediately conquered millions of viewers. And it is precisely this song that allowed him to win over the much-desired rampant lion cub.
The victory in Sanremo gave the singer the opportunity to represent Italy in theEurovision singing contestwhere he was a finalist and received the award for best composition.
But that’s not all because last year the thirty-something appeared again in the Ariston team with Blanco, in the notes of Chills, a song that allowed them to take home the victory. This gave them the right to participate in Eurovision again, where this time the duo took sixth place. In recent days, however, the young artist has relieved a media riot.
the controversy
Mamhood recently decided to take a short break from songwriting and pursue a new project. In fact, the artist was chosen to playing/voicing the crab Sebastian in the acclaimed remake of the movie The Little Mermaid. An election that has raised several controversies.
The film will hit Italian theaters from May 24 despite having already received criticism about it The color of the skin from the Little Mermaid played by 22-year-old Halle Bailey. But apparently, even the Italian dub version wasn’t immune to some users criticizing Mamhood.
criticize her
The Sanremo winner’s interpretation of the famous song At the bottom of the sea would not have convinced fans of the original Little Mermaid movie. A choice that, according to many, was too risky. But the harshest criticism came from one of the most successful Italian dubbers, lily manzini.
The latter expressed her contempt for the decision to choose an artist instead of an industry professional. He accused those in charge of choosing well-known faces from show business to give the film more prominence, but this, according to him, does nothing but trample the rights of a whole category: “Are you complaining about the color of the little mermaid’s skin and not complaining about this thing instead? They still insist on taking the bread out of our mouths!”
