YMMV / Leticia Sabater

Go To

  • Adaptation Displacement: Italian singer Laura Pausini had her breakout in 1993 with the song "La Solitudine", which Sabater adapted to Spanish the same year (under the new title "Como el primer amor") before Pausini performed her own version in Spanish in 1994 (as "La Soledad"). However, Sabater complained in 2021 that her song is not a version of that of Pausini, as both singers supposedly received the song at the same time from its true authors, Pietro Cremonesi and Federico Cavalli, yet Pausini and her reps would have played it since as if it was hers alone. Although some accused Sabater of being an Attention Whore for this, her claim seems to hold water on the detail that even her song's label mentions those authors but not Pausini.
  • Bile Fascination: Even detractors admit that Sabater does have a couple post-2012 songs that are not downright horrible, but those rarely get really famous - only the most terrible, brain-melting do.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: Portraying COVID-19 as a tongue-in-cheek Zombie Apocalypse in midst of the real pandemic would have likely killed the public image of any singer without Sabater's insane way to do things. It also helped that her song was actually promoting vaccination in its own, twisted way, as well as making fun of politicians who were already perceived as incompetent in their management of the crisis.
  • So Bad, It's Good: Sabater's post-2012 career is a giant act of terrorism against good taste, but damn if her songs are not often absolutely hilarious and/or catchy.
