Amandititita's Stirring Rebuttal to Critics: Challenging Beauty Standards and Embracing Authenticity
Singer Amandititite responds to backlash over her singing posture and physique: "My body isn't meant for your enjoyment"
The recent performance by musician Amandititita at the León National Book Fair (FENAL) generated buzz, not just for her art, but also for the controversy it sparked on social media. Some folks lashed out at her decision to perform seated and questioned her health, while others made jokes about the "Chair Law." But Amandititita isn't backing down.
After days of silence, our charismatic artist took to Instagram to set the record straight. In a powerful post, she dismissed the criticism and expressed her disinterest in adhering to the beauty standards imposed by society. She recounted her 2009 single "No Quiero Ser Televisa Rubia," which critiques the demands of the artistic world.
"This day is all I have. The past disappears a second after it happens. Media outlets write about me, and I think: why clarify a lie? It's so easy to alter an image, making you look beautiful or horrible. But what I've achieved in my personal and professional life is not easy. I have everything I dreamed of. And I keep dreaming of more days like today, where I am at peace with my loved ones. I am happy because finally, my body and mind are healthy," she wrote.
Amandititita also addressed the impact that negative comments can have on others, particularly women who struggle to meet unrealistic beauty standards. "Opining on other people's bodies is causing many people, especially women, to hate themselves, trying to have a body drawn by patriarchy (have bigger breasts, bigger buttocks, dance for me). And they end up in situations that harm them physically and mentally. My body is not for your visual pleasure. My body is not an object," she asserted.
In her performance at the FENAL, Amandititita stood out not just for her art but for her unwavering commitment to authenticity and her refusal to be reduced to her physical appearance. Despite the criticism, she continues to empower us with her unique voice and her message of self-acceptance. Amandititita remains a figure who combines music and literature to share her personal stories and connect with her audience.
