Until after noon this Thursday, they asked the screenwriter to show his face, who is involved in the production of Alberto Zayas, bears a large part of the responsibility in the final assembly of the award ceremony. So the call was heard and Juan Manuel TejedaScreenwriter by Sovereign AwardsShe made some statements to the radio show “The Radio Formula”.
Entry, Tejeda distanced himself from Sabala’s performance: “The Sovereign’s script and Julio’s participation as conductor, we didn’t script him. Julio wrote it himself.”said Tejeda.
“Julio is a person with a long career and international scenarios, and part of his, let’s call him, demands was that he would prepare his proposals. In my case, I worked the rest of the awards ceremony.”he told journalists and presenters Kenny Valdez, Richard Hernández, Moisés Balbuena, Wandaly Soriano, La Pitonisa and Giselle Jorge (La Perris) in the face of some critics who pointed out that the script didn’t help Julio.
What exactly did Juan Manuel do with Sabala? According to what he told the program, he interacted with the so-called “inimitable copycat” and told him, “Look, that’s what you’re going to do there, you have this time, connect with a price, call suppliers and do.” it in time to know what he needed to make his proposal”.
It repeats: “The content part itself was stuff that he developed.” He found out in an interview that he didn’t want to be spoken to, he said.
He confirmed what Julio said, that some segments were removed at the last minute from a lot of things the “showman” had prepared, but the screenwriter justifies that it was so “Because of a timing problem. He did a segment where he had two minutes and it took him eight and what do you do? you can’t extend the award any further.”
For example, if Julio had six entries that together lasted 18 or 20 minutes, we had three hours of awards to defend, it wasn’t just a Julio Sabala show, it was the 2023 Sovereign AwardsJuan Manuel TejedaSoberano Awards Screenwriter”
Nevertheless, Juan Manuel took charge of the monologues by Luz García and Pamela Sued, which have also been criticized for being long and not fully understood. It’s abundant that they wanted to take her out of the presenters’ comfort zone.
What Julio Sabala says
hours before the program “The Midday Show” Julio Sabala revealed that he knew he wasn’t in the best of shape to give what was expected of him, but out of deference to the Association of Art Chroniclers (Acroarte), the respect and gratitude he has for the people of Cervecería Nacional Dominicana “taking the risk of going out in conditions that are not recommended”, “due to the prevailing conditions“.
“I have consistently emphasized to those most directly responsible for my hiring the importance of my participation under public expectations.” repeated.
“I took that risk, I shouldn’t do it, we agreed at the last minute with the producers that I need to save as much as I can and be pretty comfortable with what people expect. They hired me to sprinkle salt and pepper but without overdoing it and in a way that was disrespectful without spoiling the ceremony. That was my responsibility, that was public curiosity, that was my function within the gear,” he estimated.
As an example, he points to the video in which he impersonated various artists. “The video, which was described as a display that was careful and had effects, some with even face replacements using artificial intelligence technology, could be reasonably appreciated live, but not by viewers. It was something that should go well,” he said.
Also, he said several routines were removed by last-minute production decisions, including his participation with “Doctor Fadul” and Omega, who was excluded by his non-attendance at the gala.
the communicator Isaura Taveras, who directed the red carpet, said on the program “Early riser” The “Julio Sabala was the biggest mistake made in the history of the Soberano Awards, Ladies and gentlemen. Wow! How tired, how monotonous, how monotonous, how archaic, how eighty, like everything!

He was also asked about humor and the topic of connecting with the next generation.something that actually threw a spanner in the works for the Gala. This was his answer before the sovereign:
“Humour is in life, it’s a social manifestation, but if there are things in humor, then there are things in music, in television, in politics, in families, that is, we are experiencing a kind of generational gap of transition, where Humor is a manifestation of all of this. What I do realize is that the previous generations had an artistic consistency and a certain care that the new generations may be neglecting. But I’d rather take care of myself.”
“The problem with me is that political correctness isn’t guaranteed and that’s part of the charm.”. “My intention is to sting without causing damage”he added mischievously.
So who is right?
