“This is how I celebrate my triumph…”, is part of the message with which Edwin Joseph protests the lack of opportunities on television after having obtained second place in Red, the Color of Talent, on TVN in 2019.
The young man of Venezuelan origin drew attention for his multiple talents, in singing, dancing and performance, in various styles, which he displayed in the third season of the cycle of the well-known talent show on the public channel. Also because of his height.
He walked through shows in tribute from Michael Jackson to the main musical number of the movie The Mask. The jury praised him numerous times. “You are a showman”, “I imagined Edwin in Las Vegas”, they told him, and he obtained the trophy that he is destroying today.
During the pandemic he dedicated himself to other activities and in 2022 he returned to El Retador, in Mega.
This week he posted on his Instagram a short video where he destroys Rojo’s award and wrote:
«I want to thank television in general for this award. I learned that you need to be white to be smart, you need to have a last name and be cuico to fit in with the rest.
«How sad to have to celebrate with you those who follow me (the fans) by breaking it. But it is that I am not born to take a picture smiling. I decide to throw this away to put an end to it, I end television (I won’t do television anymore).
«Advice for those who dream of entering a program: if you are a foreigner, black or low class, or a street artist, do not let yourself be manipulated, do not trust anyone! And fight and claim when something is not right. Don’t be tone like me, open your eyes».
