Latin Grammys: The Entire Show Reviewed

 

 

Alright, did we hear wrong or did the voice over presenter guy introduced Juanes as Uanes? That was NOT cool. But Juanes is looking rather dreamy as usual, opening the show with "Me Enamora" clad all in black. Ohhh wait, Juanes is singing en inglés, "It's time to change!" THIS is historical, since he has completely banned the idea of an English album. Hmmm, is this foreshadowing? Oh snap! Here's the awaited collabo with John Legend and he's singing in Spanish sounding a lot like Eros Ramazzotti! Our homepage editor says "Go, John Legend!" Word.

And here are the first few winners (*note to producers, we could really do without the bad techno music and cheesy jokes). Thanks, management!

Best New Artist: Kany García
"Gracias a mi amado Puerto Rico y a Mexico por ser me segunda casa"
Ok, we already lost our first 10 dollars! We tought Ximena was going to win this one.

 

Kany Garcia - Best New Artist

 

Best Vocal Pop Album: Juanes - La Vida Es Un Ratico
He thanked his wife and said hello to his kids at the hotel, how adorable!

 

Juanes - Me Enamora

 

Best Tejano album- Emilio Navaira

Up next: Jenni Rivera & Lupillo Rivera duet very hot! But got totally topped by Olga Tañon and Jenni singing "Amiga" and a "surprise" appearance by Vicky Carr, who used to sing this with Ana Gabriel. Ok, we have to confess, we got totally moved by these three ladies, badass voices indeed.

Kenny G  & Karime Lozano: Hmmm, we're only going to say this, Kenny's saxophone beats the techno music. No more, please!

Best Tropical Song:
"Pintame de colores"
Emilio Stefan Jr. & Gloria Estefan and Co.

 

 

 

Now on to Belinda and Flex's performance: They add little youthful kick to the show but we were a little disturbed by the ice cream licking at the end. Belinda you're supposed to be a goody, goody. Smells like Miley Cyrus, señores.

 

Album del Año: Juanes - La Vida es un Ratico

We looooove you Juanes, but still, Cafe Tacvba's album was way hotter.

 

 

 

Ohhhh snap, we're bowing down to the Latin Grammys, tributo al acordeón!? A-W-E-S-O-M-E-N-E-S-S and a perfect segway to Julieta Venegas's "El Presente". She's amazing en el acordeón. Rock on, baby.

 

Julieta Venegas - El Presente

 

 

 

Awwww, Ximena Sariñana, we have a crazy crush on you, looking adorable in that dress.

Best Urban Song: Flex - "Te Quiero"
Representing Panama and thanked his mommy in heaven :)

 

 

 

Andy Garcia presents Gloria Stefan with her Person of the Year award. We loved the montage of her career, go Gloria, go! Woooo, she's also performing one of our faves. "Mi Tierra". Such an amazing voice coming out of a pint-size cutie. Medley time! Oye mi cantoooooo. Gloria, is badass, only she can rock that white dress with all those ruffles, muy muy Celia Cruz. And now Santana and Jose Feliciano join her on stage! Woot.

 

Gloria Estefan - 90 Millas

 

Mejor Cancion de Rock: Cafe Tacvba - Esta Vez
Finally!!! One of our favorite bands wins one, and they totally deserve it.

Hey is it us or Banda El Recodo has their own Joey Fatone? Con esas mechas acarameladas, jaja!

 

 

Cancion del año: "Me Enamora" - Juanes
Yay, Juanes name drops Cafeta and Cerati, he's sweeping the show...

Mejor Album Tropical Contemporaneo: Jose Feliciano - Señor Bachata.

 

 

Alejandra Guzman is now performing and we're not impressed, she's wearing yet another feather dress. Sure, they suit her, but the whole thing is sort of bland. Sorry Alejandra, we're stuck on your "La Plaga" days and it's still our favorite.

 

 

We're back with Buika and Cabas, we really dig her Erykah Badu get up. Adding some edge to the show.

Victor Manuelle... salsa señores... all we can think of is "el fantasma de tu cuerpo me persigueeeee"

Yay, Cafe Tacvba performance! And look at Rubén with his hair all out like a heavy metal genius. Very cool, and they jolted us back to life because the awards are taking a reaaaally long time guys. 

 

Best Femenine Pop Vocal Album: Kany García - Cualquier Día.

Yet another Grammy for this Boricua.

 

Recording of the Year: Juanes - "Me Enamora"
Okay, Juanes is the king of the night! And he even got political in his speech telling the audience "You have chosen the right president for the world".

Tommy Torres and Kany García perform. We're dozing off..... *snore*

 

On to Rosario (always looking like a gypsy, love it!) and Juanes, and hey Olga Tañon, we love her voice... er what is Jeremías doing there???? Oh wait,get better!!! Belinda asking people to quit "using violence" hey with that midriff they may listen. Hasn't she heard of tunic tops? Ugh, ok this is enough cheese for one night guys. 'Til next year, where maybe Univision can think up of another acontecimiento sin precedentes that's not as predictable.
