About
Maria Odete Brito de Miranda de Souza, better known as Gretchen, is a Brazilian singer, dancer, businesswoman and media personality that is considered the "Queen of Memes" in Brazil. She is best known for her vast musical repertoire from the '70s and '80s. She appears in many memes about her appearances on television and mainstream music videos, as well as memes created by the LGBTQIA+ community.
History
Gretchen[1] is a Brazilian singer who sold more than 15 million records worldwide[2] with her three most successful albums: My Name Is Gretchen, You and Me, and Lonely.[3] She has been a longtime celebrity in Brazil known for her singing, dancing and, for a short period in her life, adult content. It was during her participation in Record[4] reality TV show “A Fazenda”[5] in 2012 that people began to pay more attention to her attitudes and expressions, which led to people creating memes about her. Seen below is a clip of Gretchen's most famous moments from the show, uploaded to YouTube[8] on September 18th, 2019 by Televisão da depressão, which earned approximately 40,000 views in two years.
Online Presence
Noticing the singer's many facial expressions and funny reactions during her participation in the 2012 reality TV show, people on the internet started to dig out every interview or piece of media she had recorded and transformed into relatable memes with captions, shared mostly on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. For example, this March 23rd, 2016 meme (see below) posted on the Facebook page Pack De Memes uses a frame of the singer participating in a reality TV show with the Portuguese phrase "quem falar merda pra mim vai ouvir até não poder mais," which translates to "whoever talks shit to me will listen until they can't anymore." The image received 54 likes and 32 shares in six years.
