MANILA – Actress-singer Maymay Entrata has responded to accusations that she used autotune during her recent performance on It’s Showtime, clarifying that her vocals were untouched and even had some flat notes.
Maymay’s Response to Online Criticism
The issue began when a netizen took to X (formerly Twitter) to claim that Entrata’s rendition of Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” in the noontime show’s Hide and Sing segment was digitally enhanced.
“Ako ang nahiya para kay Maymay Entrata. Bakit nilagyan ng autotune tapos yung ibang TagoKanta hindi nilagyan?” the user wrote, implying favoritism in the show’s treatment of contestants.
Entrata, however, directly responded:
“Hi po, ma’am. Hindi po naka-autotune yan, may mga flats pa nga po ako eh… hihi. Sorry if I wasn’t good enough sa inyo. I’ll do better.”
Netizen Issues Apology
Following Entrata’s response, the netizen issued a public apology, admitting the tweet was unfair and did not acknowledge the effort she puts into her craft.
“I acknowledge my mistake and regret any harm it caused. I’ll be more mindful moving forward. Wishing Maymay continued success!”
Maymay’s Music Journey Continues
Despite the controversy, Entrata remains focused on her music career. She recently reintroduced herself as an artist and announced her upcoming single, “Paradise”, set for release on February 20.
With her dedication to proving herself in the music industry, it’s clear that Maymay is determined to let her voice speak for itself—autotune or not. 🎶✨
