Shakira Reflects on Her Connection with Elvis Crespo: “I Sense a Slow Fade into Forgetfulness”

The contestant on the imitation program hinted at the current situation she is going through with her boyfriend, who also participated in the reality show.

Shakira from “Yo Me Llamo” made surprising revelations about her relationship with the Elvis Crespo impersonator. A love story unfolds behind the scenes of the show. While some contestants are focused on winning the five hundred million pesos prize for imitating their favorite artist, there is one contestant who shares her dreams with a former participant of the reality show.

The Shakira impersonator found her ‘soulmate’ in her fellow contestant, who impersonates Elvis Crespo. During an episode while they were still competing, it was revealed what was happening between the two of them.

“To win over a woman of her caliber, you need to have a confident demeanor and smooth moves, and respect is essential because a man without respect doesn’t belong on the dance floor, and I love to dance. If I tell you, the joy disappears, but there are people who come into your life and lift you up. I was in a dark place, and she lifted me up. She would say, ‘keep going forward,’ and that’s where pure love emerged. Thanks to her, I am giving my all, and I owe this great transformation to her,” the artist said after a backstage kiss was revealed.

The surprise kiss between Shakira and Elvis Crespo on “Yo me llamo” caught everyone off guard. Their relationship grew stronger, even after he was eliminated from the show. “Do you know who this song is for? It reminds me of him. Yes, we’re still together, but this song is a thank you and a reminder of how much I miss him,” she said after singing “Antología” following her partner’s elimination.

However, a recent surprise came when the Chilean singer performed “Moscas en la casa.” When asked about her inspiration by Carlos Calero, many expected her to mention her partner. However, she said, “In this song, I put myself in my mother’s shoes. I felt a soulful emptiness and well, my mother went through that, so did I. I remembered all that and the sense of not having a purpose in life, really. So I drew a lot of inspiration from my mother during that difficult stage.”

The host, unsatisfied with her response, directly questioned if she wasn’t thinking about her boyfriend. “Honestly, no,” she replied firmly. Amparo Grisales was surprised by Andrea Correa’s (the real name of the Shakira imitator) words, commenting, “I smell forgetfulness little by little.” Andrea didn’t make any further statement but made gestures of uncertainty that intrigued those present.

Her abrupt response comes after she spoke with pain about the death of her mother-in-law, which caused her to lose focus and have a bad performance.

(…) You were off-key a thousand times, your voice lost its color at the beginning. (…) I had never seen you like this, what’s wrong with you?” Amparo Grisales questioned on that occasion, noticing a decline in the singer’s performance. “He went through something serious, but it’s not an excuse, his mother passed away,” the singer replied at that time. It is worth mentioning that despite the romantic entanglements, the “Shakira” from “Yo me llamo” has stood out. In fact, the real Shakira mentioned her and she felt proud. “She reposted me, that was magical for me, and now there she is greeting me, mentioning my name and all. You are truly an exemplary woman, which is why I feel so inspired to keep improving, to achieve a respectful imitation of you because your work is admirable,” the contestant replied on “Día a día.”
