The summer has been full of rumors about a possible return of Amaia Montero to La Oreja de Van Gogh, the group with which he became known and with which he managed to reach the top of sales in Spain and America for years. The nostalgia of those years has prompted a comment as on social networks have raised the alarm about a possible reunion of the original line-up, although this has not happened so far and the line-up has denied that it will happen. But the joy is not for everyone, since Leire Martínez, Montero’s replacement as singer, has seen how many people forget her work during her 16 years with the group.even wishing that she be fired. The Basque has remained silent until now, since gave a television interview where he clearly expressed what he has felt in recent monthswhile still holding his position in the middle of a summer festival tour.
The rumors gained momentum again when Amaia became one of the guests of one of Karol G’s concerts at the Santiago Bernabéu stadiumbringing her back into the news after retiring from the stage in recent years. Given all these comments, Martínez broke his silence in an interview with Navarra Television and made it clear that He is surprised that “16 years later, I still have to answer for Amaia and that people continue to ask me questions about her. It was necessary to leave something hanging. Honestly, saying things affects me to the extent that I want them to affect me. I have already learned“.
Although until now he wanted to leave this issue aside, the truth is that he clearly expressed his anger because He believes that these comments are a “lack of respect” after so long showing his face and ensuring that the group continues its success. in Spain and countries like Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Chile, where they are authentic idols of the masses.
“I don’t mind that they say that Amaia is coming back to the group, what I don’t like is that they ignore me. If it were true that he was coming back, it’s something I don’t consider. It will be the group that decides or not. But I don’t like hearing and seeing certain comments. And me?” he proclaims in the interview.
Leire Martínez wanted to remind everyone that it has been around for 16 years, although perhaps being away from controversies has led many people not to keep it in mind.It sucks how nothing seems to matter. I don’t deserve this, even if it affects me as much as I want it to. I understand what the game is and that there was some interest in focusing on us when I think this story doesn’t go any further.” he said.
“She was there, she’s doing great. She’s charismatic and wonderful, and then she decided to leave the group and I joined. That’s it. The story doesn’t go any further. I’m surprised he wants to feed“, he wanted to settle the controversy without forgetting Amaia Montero and the great work she has done.
Would Leire Martínez collaborate with Amaia Montero?
Asked about this possibility, the artist does not close the door, even if she emphasizes that for the moment it is not in her plans nor in those of Van Gogh’s Ear: “It’s very morbid, but I think collaborations should come naturally and because you really want to do them. She’s immersed in her projects and we’re immersed in ours.“.
He did not hide the fact that there has been a rapprochement in recent times after the cooling of relations following Amaia’s departure, and therefore he does not completely exclude this possibility.For many years there was no room because everyone did what they wanted. Today I could not say it. Many things have been said. If it comes up and we feel like it, we will do it. If not, then no.“, he assures.
