Carnaval in Tenerife in 2007 will, sadly, always be remembered for the controversy and, which "crowned" Belén Esteban as the "Queen of Booing" at the hapless Gala for the Selection of the Carnaval Queen. Known as "The Bitter Carnival", due to the negative prominence acquired by the director of the gala: Rafael Amargo (amargo means bitter), the gala itself that was nothing more than a parade of "reality" characters and "trash TV" with Belén Estéban performing a cheap imitation of Madonna. The occasional singer had nothing to do with the usual rhythm and music typical of carnival and almost no carnival groups could participate, which is traditional and kinda the whole point. Amargo had promised to make a great show with a performance by stars such as Jennifer López or Ricky Martín. He not only failed to acquire a star of such calibre, but afterwards dedicated himself to insulting the city in any medium of communication, accusing them of being inept and uneducated for not understanding his show. It was considered by many as the worst carnival gala in history in Tenerife.
