The “Altas Horas” program on Saturday (11/3) was a great tribute to Xuxa’s 60th birthday, with an audience full of celebrities who are part of the artist’s life or have been influenced by it. Xuxa gave testimonials and heard statements from famous fans and even received a special show with Gloria Groove, Lexa and Wanessa Camargo, who sang some of the biggest hits of the host’s career.
The singers confided that they were greatly influenced by the Queen of Baixinhos.
“I speak for all drag queens when I say that, without Xuxa, we wouldn’t be doing half of what we did. Not to mention we wouldn’t have countless references in fashion, art, music. Eternal gratitude”, Glória said.
In turn, Wanessa revealed that she came to believe in her potential and decided to become a singer after watching the Xuxa program.
“You have no idea of the influence you have on me as a singer. It was you who heard ‘believe in your dream’. She said those lines at the end of the program and, without knowing it, it was she who educated me, it raised me, and it was part of the final decision that I wanted to be a singer, after ‘Lua de Cristal'”, revealed Wanessa.
Lexa went further, revealing that her name is a tribute to Xuxa. She was born Lea Cristina Araújo da Fonseca, but due to her mother’s love for Xuxa, the family matriarch added her letter X to spell her name, which became a career trademark artistry of her.
And the performances didn’t stop there! There were Daniel, Tiago Abravanel, Silvero Pereira, Jeniffer Nascimento, Fabiana Karla, Malu Rodrigues, Erika Januza and Junno Andrade singing Xuxa classics in the special, which left the presenter very emotional, along with big laughs and tears.
“To be here today, turning 60 and saying ‘damn, I didn’t have to die to receive this honor’ is very emotional. It’s an upcoming film, it’s a documentary, there’s so much going on that I look up and go ‘I don’t know if I deserve it”. These stories that you have told me, and that involve me, these stories help me write my story. If you think my story is beautiful, it’s because it’s told through you,” she said.
See below for an example of the musical part of the tribute.
