(PHOTOS AVAILABLE ON MHPIXS.com)
Last night at 5th annual 'Premios Juventud' awards show on Univision themed 'Saves the Planet' rocked the Bank United Center in Coral Gables. The night was this year's favorite subject was "GREEN", as old timer celebs show up in there non Green gas gossling SUV's with a bit of the same as to prior years, Ivy Queen, Thalia, Olga Tañon, and award show staples', RBD. Although some of the categories are quite amusing such as "Paparazzi's Favorite Target", "She's got Style," and "I Hear them Everywhere," the show missed star power.

The night is to celebrate youth meanwhile the host Eduardo Santamarina is past 40 years old. Then another sleugh of 40 something age or close to artist made the rounds, Olga Tañon, Ivy Queen, Gloria Trevi and Thalia. When don't say they're washed up, nor we are saying they don't look amazing, but is it appropriate for a youth show unless the star is to receive a legend or lifetime achievement award. Univision's attempt to be MTVish, we believe belongs in the Telefutura network rather than on the "Mi abuela's novela channel".

Our favorites of the night had to be the performances of Belanova and Gloria Trevi, who seems to be back for her missed years of stardom. On the arrivals carpet our favorites included a very elegant Lilia Luciano as well as Spanish import Chenoa. Reggaeton artist need to reinvent its look of boring diamond emblems and baggy pants. Luis Fonsi looked elegant, and sharp, but not appropriate for a youth award show in hot Miami. Kate del Castillo looked red hot in her bubbly botton dress, and shows much promise in Hollywood as one of Latin market imports.
Check out the last night's winners.
