Wanessa Camargo, announced this Friday (5) in the box “BBB24”, is 41 years old and has a career spanning more than 20 years. The daughter of Zezé di Camargo and the granddaughter of Francisco moved from suffering hits to teenage passions to club pop. There have also been moments in his career dedicated to country music, reggaeton and electronic music.
When she started out as a singer in 2000, her more modest image matched her first three albums all titled Wanessa Camargo. With euphoric sighs (in the pop “Eu Quero Ser O Seu Amor”) and in performances reminiscent of Mariah Carey (in the painful “Apaixonada Por Você”), she relies on teenage love.
The first revision came in 2005 with “W”, designed for wild dancing with your face pressed together. “I Don't Resist Us Two” could be added to the repertoire of Kelly Clarkson or Demi Lovato. In the video for “Amor, Amor” she twerked like crazy.

Two years later, the look and sound changed. The short hair and dolllike pose could be completed with a cowgirl hat. “Total” had the country feel of “Não Tô Pronta Pra Perdoar” (version of The Chicks’ “Not Ready To Make Nice”) and the power of “Independente” (influenced by Shania Twain).
The romantic country aspect was abandoned in the following years. Wanessa, now without Camargo, just wanted to know about beats, clubs, Lady Gaga and Shakira. The milestone of the new era was the duet with the rapper Ja Rule in “Fly” from “Meu Momento” (2009).
From then on, he began recording songs like “Get Loud!”, “Hair & Soul” and “Shine It On” in English. When he sang this song on a talk show hosted by Gugu, it became a meme due to technical problems in performing the song.
In 2016, she decided to sing in Portuguese again and tried to join the women's movement, with the suffering and confident country singer with names like Marília Mendonça. Songs from this phase, such as “Coração Embriagado”, were not as successful.

In recent years she has dedicated herself to a tour and an album with her father Zezé di Camargo in the project “Pai & Filha”. In 2023 he released the album “Livre”, a return to the pop of his early career.
In addition to music, she was the presenter of shows such as “Jovens Tardes” on TV Globo between 2002 and 2004. Wanessa also judged freshmen programs, participated in soap operas and was a runnerup on “Show dos Famosos.” “, in “Domingão com Huck”.
