![]() | On 24 February 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved from Jeanette (singer) to Jeanette (Spanish singer). The result of the discussion was moved. |
I propose that this article be moved to "Jeanette (singer)" seeing as how Jeanette is her stage name, and the name "Jeanette Dimech" is not correct either. Her birth name is Janette Dimech, without the initial E. When she released her first solo single, the record label made a mistake and spelled her name "Jeanette" and that has been her stage name ever since. However, she has never been referred to as "Jeanette Dimech". My source is the liner notes to her compilation "Todas sus grabaciones en Discos Hispavox con PIC-NIC y en solitario (1967-1976)". In the liner notes she says the following:
La casa de discos preparó muy bien las cosas, aunque se equivocó en una: mi nombre. Porque siendo yo inglesa de nacimiento en Inglaterra mi nombre se escribe Janette, sin la primera "e". En fin, la cosa no tenía demasiada importancia, pero definitivamente me quedé para siempre como Jeanette a partir de la portada de mi primer disco.
Translation:
The record label prepared everything very well, although they made one mistake: my name. Because with me being English by birth in England, my name is written Janette without the first "E". In the end, it wasn't that important, but I would forever remain known as Jeanette ever since my first album cover.
As we can see, her legal name is Janette Dimech, but her stage name is Jeanette. Therefore, Jeanette Dimech is an incorrect name as it is neither her legal nor her stage name. Joeschmoe2003 16:42, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
I think that the title is "Porque te vas" (BECAUSE you're leaving) and not "Por que te vas" (WHY are you leaving). I don't have the official lyrics, but it appears as "porque te vas" in most of the websites I've found. It also makes more sense considering the lyrics of the song.

Quote from the article: "Born October 10, 1951 (1951-10-10) (age 56)" I doubt somebody will keep updating her age every year. That should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Srelu ( talk • contribs) 04:52, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
The result was revert back to "Jeanette (singer)".
Somebody moved this page to Janette without an E because her legal first name is spelled Janette. While this is her legal name, her stage name that she is most commonly known by is Jeanette with an E, therefore the page should be moved back (I was unable to move it back due to it having been turned into a redirect page.)

I think this song deserves its own article or at least it should be a section in its composer, José Luis Perales. The history and covers of this song has nothing to do with Jeanette. I am adding the aproppiate template.-- Sdelfranco ( talk) 15:38, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Jeanette (singer) → Jeanette (Spanish singer) – Ambiguity with Jeanette Biedermann, a German singer whose entire discography was released under the mononym "Jeanette". 162 etc. ( talk) 01:03, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
She is NOT from Spain, she is a BRIT by nationality and a Maltese by ETHNICITY! She has 0 Spanish blood. Her DNA cannot be altered by MOVING to Spain at any point in her life, especially past the age of 7 when children will then speak with a strong foreign accent. This person is a PHONY! She is to be considered Malto-English and nothing more!!! In what universe is "Dimech" a name for Spaniard?! She also bears a PHONY French name, and should stop usurping other nations cultures, you are a "Janet" not a "Jeanette"! Tired of cultural appropriation of ANY nation by foreigners of ANY kind and the inane Wikipedia articles that enable them! (And I can say this, because it's White on White usurpation!)
