Sanz Starts A Revolution
Alejandro Sanz no tiene pelo en la lengua about his feelings against Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Two of his concerts in Venezuela, including the February 14th performance in Caracas, were canceled due to his political views against the leader.
Now 80 musicians, and other celebrities, have signed a statement supporting the Grammy-winner. Among the stars are Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Penelope Cruz, and Shakira.
It is said that the petition helps affirm that these celebrities “believe in a Latin America where we are all free to express our views.”
This is a great statement, but is it really creating the change necessary? What are your views?

I think that with some of these stars, there is bias against Hugo Chavez and his leadership in trying to make Venezuela socialist. They just don’t agree with him. However, Chavez has to be careful not to act like a dictator. It’s one thing if the people of Venezuela don’t want to go to a Alejandro Sanz concert because they decide not to and it’s another thing if they are not even given the option.
As long as I don’t have to hear the zero talent trash J HO sing then I’m cool.
Hugo Chavez is a piece of shit. Be careful not to act like a dictator? LOL Too late. He’s a Castro wannabe. As for the stars signing a statement of support; unless they’re also willing to not perform in that country; the statement is useless.
