Dona Marli, after taking the stage with Anitta: ‘When I go out, it’s worth the ticket’

Marli Gomes da Silva, 55, says she’s been shaking so far. The reason is the emotion with the sudden success after taking the stage and stealing the show in Anitta, 29, at the Garota Vip party, in Rio de Janeiro.

Born in Montanhas (RN), the secretary is married and has two children, a stepson and four grandchildren. It was precisely with her stepson, daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law’s mother that she went to the show.

Marli says that, as she doesn’t drink alcohol, she bought a ticket to stand in front of the stage with her stepson’s mother-in-law, while he and her daughter-in-law stayed in the box. Asked if she went to Anitta’s show only or the others present at the party, she assumes to be a fan of everyone: “I love breaking in the break”

With the success, she needed the help of relatives to manage her social networks and requests from the press. She also claims that she has not yet been called to be a poster girl for any brand and has not had a manager looking for her, but that she has already been invited to the GKay farofa.

In an interview with F5Marli reveals that she still dreams of going on stage and dancing with Wesley Safadão, and that she would still be dancing if she hadn’t left.

Read the interview:

F5: What has changed in these few hours of fame?
Marly: My son, a lot has changed. A lot, not a little. Since 7 am, when I left the show and called my daughter-in-law, who had already left, she said: ‘Mother-in-law, you have no idea how groovy you are. Anitta posted you on Twitter and Instagram. You’re an icon, you’re grooving’.
I said: ‘For the five wounds of Christ, what am I going to do now?’ I had no internet, no idea of ​​anything. When I got home, they connected the wi-fi, mercy… It was a lot. I started to shake and called my daughter to come here because I was desperate and didn’t know what to do.

Why were you shaking?

The emotion of what is happening in my life. I didn’t even have 100 followers and now out of nowhere [milhares]. It’s people’s affection for me. Even Juliette (ex-BBB) talked about me.

And the sentence: “Criticizing Marli is easy. It’s hard to be Marli”?

Sometimes you find people who criticize the person’s way of being, while many people praise me for the person I am, extroverted, I like to dance, to play, to overflow.
I never go out, but when I go out, I go out!
That’s why I said that it’s easy to criticize Marli, the difficult thing is to be Marli. Nobody knows my day to day. I work, I have my grandchildren, I take my grandchildren to school, I go to work, I come back, I pick them up at school. That’s every day. So, it’s easy to criticize when you get Marli on stage and wave her tail and then complain because there’s a lady on stage dancing.

Are you enjoying the fame?

I’m loving. I’m just nervous. Sometimes it gives me a quiver, but I’m loving it. It’s the affection of the people who are posting, the return of the posts that were made, the people who took a picture there with me, hugging me.
People calling me ‘Come, aunt Marli, Anitta’s aunt’. I’m Anitta’s aunt now, do you have any idea?

Did you take advantage of the moment and take a cone?

I slapped Anitta’s ass. I fulfilled the wish of 99% of Brazilians. I even slapped her ass, danced “Envolver”. If you ask Anitta if she had any idea that I was going to do everything I did, I’m sure she would say no.
I dance to any song. It’s João Gomes, it’s pagode, it’s piseiro, it’s Wesley Safadão, it’s a samba school, whatever I’m dancing to.

Did you go to Garota Vip for Anitta’s concert?

I’m a fan of all of them from Girl Vitp. My dream is to dance with Wesley Safadão. I even posted on the Garota Vip page asking him to invite me to dance with him, but Anitta, who performed the show first, was the one who blew me away [para o sucesso].

Who else did you dance for?

When I got there, Zé Felipe was playing, I danced. They put on a DJ, I danced. They put Belo on, I danced. Then came Anitta, Pedro Sampaio, then came Wesley Safadão. It was seven o’clock in the morning and I was still dancing. I left because my friend was tired and sleepy. But I just wanted to sweep the hall.

How did you get on stage?

I went to the front, and my daughter-in-law and stepson were in the cabin. As I don’t drink, there was no reason for me to go to the open bar, so I went to the middle of the party even with my friend, my daughter-in-law’s mother.
I said: ‘You’ll just follow me and we’ll pierce through the crowd, let’s get closer because I want to go on stage today. And I did!
I went to see the full show, for all the singers. if I had more [gente tocando] I was still there, for so far I have not slept. I was going to dance the “Tchuco in her”, but it didn’t work. Just now I danced “Envolver” with the girls there to record a video.

Where did you learn this choreography?

Who taught me this choreography was my six-year-old granddaughter. She loves to dance. The Gomes family itself, everyone likes to dance. My grandmother is 93 years old and loves to dance forró.

How your city received your success.

Montanhas (RN) is celebrating today, in the interior of Rio Grande do Norte, 100 km from Natal because of the repercussion. ‘Marli, from Mountains to the world’.
It’s not today, if they call me to a stage I’ll go up. I worked on an election campaign. I used to get on sound cars (at rallies). I sang. People called me fake Xuxa, because I sang her song doing propaganda for politicians.

Have you, then, fulfilled a dream?

I did. My dream was to get to a place and the artist would call me on stage. There’s still a lot of stage for me to go to, that’s when it started. I hope those who saw my post call me, because I like to dance, regardless of rhythm.

Where does that elasticity for the split come from?

I’ll tell you something, I’ll tell you a secret: I’ve never done that in my life, it was the first time. If you ask me to do it now, I might not be able to. I don’t know how I did it. I went down and up, but when I realized I went down, I thought I wasn’t going to go up. I’m being honest.
I’m not hurt at all, I’m not feeling pain anywhere. If there’s a forró now I’ll go.

Will you sleep first?

I’ll have to sleep, right, my son? Fifty-five years is 55 years, right? But I do have energy.

Worth it?

I never go out, but when I do, I spill. Worth the ticket. If they had all called me, I would have danced with them all. Meanwhile, my friend stood on the railing holding my bag. I left at 7 am, anguished [porque queria ter ficado mais].
