They still say that the third is the loser, was not the case of the singer Carlos Silver, Who was again left without the certification of Guinness for his attempt to set the record for most hours singing and dethroning the current record holder, Indian Sunil Waghmare in 2012.
Although the three times he has competed, 2016, 2019 and 2020 he has exceeded the singing hours, several failures in the procedure have prevented him from obtaining the certification and it is striking that the last two times the verdict is the same: Carles was taking “longer rest breaks than is allowed.”
This is the conclusion reached by the awardees in a communication sent and published by the same Creole artist this Wednesday, in which they explained why he did not get the title:
“After reviewing all the evidence required by the record attempt for the world’s longest singing marathon, we understand that, Mr. Silver did not comply with the guidelines during the record attempt, especially the relating to permitted rest breaks, having been the same longer than is permitted in our regulations. That is why, in this particular case, Guinness World Records determined that the record should remain in the possession of the current record holder. “
At the end of 2020, at the press conference in Plaça Joan Baró where he carried out the challenge with the sanitary measures for COVID-19, but without a judge in person, although they were “following him via the Internet “, Carlos Silver explained next to his team that they had to send the representative the evidence of his third attempt on the Internet, but that he only received the information of the first three days, so they ask his team to send him the engraving on the fourth day, which according to the Creole singer himself still “has not just come down”.
The same in 2019
For the second time and with more hope, Carlos Silver moved to Eugenio María de Hostos Park in 2019 and tried it to the point that his health was affected and he had to be admitted to the Jiminian Cross Clinic. , in addition to suffering several episodes that led him to psychiatric observation.
Guinness World Records accredited judge Carlos Tapia Rojas said this year that Silver failed to break the record for most hours singing uninterruptedly despite remaining for 105 hours, 11 minutes and 40 seconds.
“Unfortunately he could not reach the record and it is a verdict without appeal,” Mexican Tàpia Rojas told local media.
The judge arrived in the capital the day before to assess the 106-hour milestone by performing songs in a glass house.
He explained that Silver met all but one of the most important requirements: “The 30-second rule”. And not just once, but several times.
In 2016 there were no judges
One of the reasons he failed to do so on December 15, 2016, according to several press articles, is because there were no judges.
“Every day I see that there is no force greater than the will, that there is no better prize than to always be able to speak the truth, Guinness World Records” NO “certifies me with the Longest Singing Marathon record, evidence was not enough for our country to break the record of the Hindu singer who still holds it, not to count with the presence with the judges in the event it was decisive in the final verdict, “Silver wrote on his Instagram account, after indicating that this was one of his biggest dreams.
The “Insensible” performer recalled how difficult it was for him to sing for so many hours and that he was about to “collapse, but there was a very strong energy that did not allow it and it was the support of my whole country “.
However, Guinness World Record also denied him the certification of the Longest Singing Marathon record alleging technical failures in the supply of evidence. There were a few hours of transmission that could not be verified.
Silver’s first attempt was made by Alberto Zayas in a glass house located in Sambil.
