Not everything was totally OK, here are the comments published in the mexican newspaper Reforma, where they criticize Tarkan for singing in play-back during a performance at a mexican disco.
Tarkan sends kisses in play-back
Reforma (16-03-2000). - During his visit to Mexico, Tarkan made a small performance at Medusas nightclub, where the turkish singer just "danced" three songs and sent his popular kisses in play-back, since he didn't sing live (just lip singing??) It was organized by Stereo 97.7 radio station. Dressed with a white shirt and black pants (look at the photo), Tarkan appeared on stage, between the cries of the girls there, saying "gracias" (thank-you in spanish), the only word in spanish he learned, although people appreciated his efforts. "You are incredible, I love you. I tell you, I've been in a lot of countries in Europe, the United States, South America, but I have never found people like you, you really have a feeling," he continued, in english, but many didn't understood what he was saying. Then the show began, and he proved good at moving the shoulders and hips to the beat of his music." Nevertheless, he just sang in play-back, so it was the same to watch him there or in a video. For his fans, that simply didn't matter, for they gave him all the support and affection they had. This surprised Tarkan, he never imagined that he would be such a phenomenon in Mexico. General delirium began when the third song began, Simarik, or the kiss song, when the place became sort of a madhouse because of the cries and hysterical attitudes of the excited teenagers. After Simarik, Tarkan said good-bye to his fans, promising he would return soon to make some performances and to give a lot of kisses (which might be real, next time).
