Hi everybody!
I’m so happy to be here tonight!
Tonight was going to be my first night sleeping, and you are not gonna let me! ;P I only would do it because of you!
You always compensate me so, I’m really excited to chat to you all and I can’t wait to see you again…I would cross my fingers to make it happens maybe soon! ;P
Asia, here I go!!!
Spanish culture is very popular in Asia, Will you sing always in english or will we listen any spanish song, or any version?
I don’t know, it’s something I’ve never thought about. Since I was a little girl, I’ve been writing in both language so it could be, but for me, spanish is more personal maybe and it could be more intimidating that singing in english. I think that spanish language is more passional, intense, I don’t wanna say more beautiful but it definately makes me feel more sometimes. Maybe it’s the way we spanish talk. The answer is a question: would you like it?
I love your new look! Why have you changed your hair? Do you feel better that way? Who decide about your image?
Thank you so much! I don’t know why I did it, it just happened!
I feel the same way, I am who I am the same way…less boring! And about my look it’s me the one who decides always. Me, myself and I… and my stylist, but me at first place! The fact I’ve made his new campaign has nothing to say, he just loves my ideas…so he called me and told me: Monica, I need you! (Just kidding)
I love him so much and he is an important support to me, so acepted it inmediately! But I have to say the campaign will be only for Spain, England, Italia and the USA.
I love your voice and image, What do you usually do for taking care of them?
No much! Honestly I’m thankful because I don’t treat them so good at all! But I have some rules for myself: I don’t smoke, I don’t drink cold, gas neither alcohol drinks, milk is a must and my cream is always with me! Oops! And I avoid the bad weather because I need to be hot always! But apart of this, I do what I have to do, paying no attention to myself.
Would you dare to sing in japanese?
Of course! It’s so easy that I don’t know how I didn’t think about it before! Better in Malagui! Sangat menarik will be my next single!
We know that in Japan you and Stupid Groupie are on a higher demand, what would you say to your asian fans and how the asian fans are? Do you see any difference with other fans?
I need to say thank you so much to everyone who has downloaded my single, thank you so much all the times you want! You’re making this happens! You’ve made me so happy! I can’t believe yet! You’re magical in all senses. You are always supporting me, giving me your love and I feel so blessed!
Asian fans are one of the most passionate…I love when fans scream, cry, jump or smile…and they do, it’s another kind. They feel everything so much, and for an artist seeing this, it’s a present. I feel proud of them and so happy and satisfied when that happens.
Every fan is different, feels different and supports in a different way I guess, but japanese people is so intense. They live the moment and I love this! I feel overprotected there!
Irresistible and Stupid groupie are such two different songs, are the rest of the songs you compose so different between them too? Different styles and rhythms?
Yes, they are. I try everything I like! It depends of what and how I feel in the moment I’m writing, and what I wanna say in the song!
I don’t wanna do always the same, neither being the girl who “does that”…my songs are a part of me, of what I feel, and I feel so different things, I’m always changing and I can not avoid my reflection in my songs!
Sometimes I’m sad, sometimes I’m happy, worried, naughty…It helps me to know me better too. I need to express this, so sometimes I just let my madness go, and a song happens.
I’m not interested about writting what everybody expects from me, my songs should be the way to know me, and I’m sure nobody out there knows the real Monica, so maybe people who don’t know me can think it’s weird…but I feel confortable with my songs.
Basically the message could be that I can be Irresistible sometimes (my pouts are adorable) and so Stupid at the time! And yes, both sides is me! And many more!
What do you think about our country (Japan) What do you know?
I love Japan! It’s been a very important country in my whole career!
I know a bit of Yokohama, Hiroshima, Kobe and Tokyo. I specially love a zone called Harajuku, where going for shopping it’s so crazy! I love the harajuku fashion, the parks there full of music and people! It’s my favorite place in Japan, I think. Girls got so amazing looks!
You’ve been working as a fashion model and you are a singer, what do you think about japanese fashion and music?
Japanese people make many tendencies! I love the different styles you guys, got there for dressing up: the lolitas, I really love Oshare, and of couse, my kodona boys…fashion is another kind there! You are so free and funny! Open minded people! I love Yohji Yamamoto so much! Shu Uemura is my ruin, too! If I live there, I’d be ruined!
About music, I love the visual and Oshare kei influences although it’s not my thing! Malice Mizer…I don’t know. It’s nice going to Yoyogi park just to listen! But unfortunately I can not go much!
Do you identify with anything of our culture? Do you like our food, for example?
I love asian food and I even eat it when I’m not there! I love the rhythm you live, your discos, your technology, your sense of humor, you always have a smile on your lips and it’s very nice how you welcome people. So cute! I really feel good there and I miss you when I’m leaving!
It’s like a different energy, a different “no break”, so fun! Hot people! Asia always surprises me! It’s a source of inspiration to me, I always come back changed, I always see something new I thought it couldn’t be possible! When I’m back from there, I always think everything it’s possible if I put all my efford on it!
When are you coming back to Japan and Malasia?
5 days, so…Sayonara till then!
Thank you so much for this amazing meeting! Aishiteru! So much!

Official Forum Digital Meet with Monica Sanz – 26 October 2010
Hi everyone!
Nice to meet you here this time!
I need to say I’m so sad today because Paul, the octopus, has passed away! Yes, I know, it’s even worse, thinking he has not passed away in a pot! (RIP)
I have not much time so, let’s see what you’ve got to me!
1. What did you think when you were said the website was collapsed because there were too many people trying to download your single?
It was unexpected and, at the moment, disagreable. I thought many people would be furious with me! I felt impotence, I could do nothing. On 21st when everybody could listen to it, it was a kind of relief. The team made everything they could.
Now I cannot wait to see the statistics, I don’t want to illude. Don’t know if all the odissey was possitive or negative. I think there will be less downloads because the people were angry, and it’s half distributed, so many people has shared it ilegally.
2. Now that you have two singles, if you had the chance to make a videoclip of one of the, which one would be?
Between them, I’d choose “Stupid Groupie”, there are many people wanting to be the main role!
But it’s just a dream, by now. There’s a story, but “Irresistible” is more visual and full of energy.
Anyway, I think I’d do it with other songs. It often happens that, when I write a song, or when it’s finished, I can imagine how the videoclip would be. But today I’m only able to dream of it.
3. We’ve seen you do everything… Fast songs as “Irresistible”, and slower as “Stupid Groupie”.
Which one do you like to perform the most?
Between them, “Stupid Groupie” to sing, and “Irresistible” to dance. But they really aren’t my favourite songs to do, and the style is not the one I feel more comfortable with, but they’re mine, I know them really well, and that helps.
They’re not easy to play unplugged. Really often, in the studio, I can sing better without music, o unplugged, than with full-volume tracks.
The solution is easy: writting other things. I do it, but I write what I like, and I prefer addapting myself to the songs than on reverse. Absolutely in everything. When I have the song I think of what does it need, no matter if my voice won’t be that shiny or if I have to spend more hours doing the arrangements.
I’m possitive, and when I do it, I think: “There will come a day I will have the chance of an unplugged concert with a capella parts.”
4. Why did you finally decided this to be your second single?
At first, “Stupid Groupie” was about to be kept on a drawer, as many others, but because of the delay in May and after some months I wasn’t keen on releasing that one, I didn’t like it for this moment.
A rainy day, alone at home, I found “Stupid Groupie”, and I think it was a signal. Heard it a thousand times, and brought it to the studio. I think the song itself decided to be released.
5. What is “Stupid Groupie” really about.
Everyday somebody asks me why do I hate groupies, but the song is not about a groupie. It’s exactly the opposite!
“Stupid Groupie” is about that fanatic love of someone who would do anything for the person that is in love with or so it thinks.
The girl of the song doesn’t want to let the chance to discover her true “love”, or fake herself to feel loved by the one she sees as the perfect man, the love of her life, that she doesn’t know. And she knows it! She really doesn’t know if she’s in love with him, or with the image she has from the star, but it’s her passion, her obsession.
The song is about many topics, and it has no ending, that’s the best! It talks about fame, real love, subjective love, the distorted image the media can create of someone, fanatism, superficiality, disillution, desperation, making dreams come true… But above all, it’s about something I’m lately quite obsessed with: not let something I want undone!
6. Do you think you’re closer to have the physical cd in your hands?
It scares me just think of it. I hope I am everyday, of course!
That’s what I wish the most, but everybody knows how music industry is now. I keep on fighting. It’s hard, but I hope every step helps.
I really hope “Stupid Groupie” is the key for it, but I don’t have any statistics yet so, as far as I know, the managers haven’t changed their minds!
7. Do you have a method for writting, I mean, you sit calmly to write, or you go on writting every idea you have in a day (papers, phone…) and then try to fix them all?
Sitting? Never! I live with my producers day a day, and every silly thing is a story for them to make a song. They’re mad…
I don’t have much free time, well, I don’t have free time, so anything is ok to remember what comes, and the we fix it, but I don’t change it. Sometimes I record myself and when I listen it’s like: “Aren’t you embarrased?”, other times I write things in my body… But I never keep something that has to be revised, I believe in genuine things, and there’s a lot of work after that.
8. What was the inspiration for an incredible song such as “Stupid Groupie”?
In the studio, I’m everyday listening to he producers’ stories with music legends. I feel fascinated. I had nightmares because of them.
I think the original groupies haven’ been well recognized. There are stories about pricesses, wives… And songs about many women, but I think many groupies that had an important role in music’s history have been kept in the shadow.
The ‘80s groupies weren’t just one night stand lovers. They wanted to share everyting with rockstars and their life was dedicated to them. They cared about the instruments, getting drug or whatever was necessary for they idols to feel happy. Most of them ruined their lifes because of the other. There are many hard stories…
In the other hand, they were muses. They inspired their lovers and thanks to them, many of the best history’s songs existed.
They’re secondary roles that, to me, are essential to understand some idols, although I don’t think the same.
I haven’t understood yet if they were brave or coward, rebels or standing, but I think they were generous and, at least, lived.
All this has many things in common with my life, and I think that’s why I feel interesten on trying to understand them. For example, I tought it was impossible, but now I’m conscient that a girl of my age can date a 103 years old producer just because she admires him. I respect it, I listen to their stories without winking, as if they were my grannys!
9. We know you often work on the studio at night, and that something many artists do. Does it have any explanation? Do you feel better inpiration at night or maybe feel free without press and fans?
It’s just that I don’t like sleeping, and there’s nobody around so I have the chance to touch everything and let things the way I want. At 5, nobody wants to argue!
It’s because they don’t understand me and I can keep things the way I want! At first, they use to change them in the morning, but they don’t insist anymore!
The best is when I have to use the mixing table at 4:00 and and I don’t really know where to start! I’ve broken it twice… So now somebody stays with me at the sofa and I wake him up if needed!
10. How do you choose the instruments and sound to use on each song?
I see the songs in a general way, an holistic idea and almost finished. I write while I mentally listen to it, so when I get to the studio, I know what I want.
I make producers and I almost give then a beatbox session. Amazing! Then they speak a really strange language, do what they think I mean and then call me to complain. They’re really nice people
11. How long did it take to write “Stupid Groupie”?
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t say. I think like all of them, in a private party at home. It doesn’t last too much, then the longest process comes, which is trying everything, but writtin is just one night. They come!
12. This year’s MTV EMA’s are in Madrid, are you coming?
I don’t know where’s my invitation! If I find… I’m a disaster!
The truth is that I’m not keen on parties, I have a lot of work to do, but I want to meet my Spanish girls so, maybe!
Thank you everybody for this meet!
I’ve had a great time with you guys, and I hope you have enjoyed at least like me!
I love you so much! Take care! God bless!
See you!
