We are not big on this tejano, banda music...gotta be straight about this. The nights performances were ok, but Univision really did amazing with the stage and the futuristic theme. The virtual acceptance from Chayanne we're really cool, but not to thrill with the sombrero wearing robots.
Year after year, we say that Premios Juventud are that, juventud. Although I like the fact that they honor some of the greats, like this year's honoree, Juan Luis Guerra. In some of the categories it was obvious, if you were in attendance, you were getting the award.
Univision tries to make fun and jovial, a-la Nickolodian, and many instances it misses that factor. Not sure if this type of award show really belongs on the big "Abuelita watching novelas" Univision network. Telefutura is more adapt for this show. Despite the "Abuelita" factor, we did enjoy the fact that new "It boy" William Levy came with his grandmother as his date and that Juan Luis Guerra recieved his award from his niece and former Miss Universe, Amelia Vega.
Performance wise we thought most they were pretty good. Belinda featuring Pitbull performance of a really annoying "Egoista" song is on its way to be one of the worst songs. Actually a little shocking that Pitbull would of done such a song when he's NOT an "Egoista". Pitbull's long set performance on the other hand showed that the Miami Cuban rapper can get the party started.
Fashion sense and shock value was in full effect on the Blue carpet, despite TV announcers confusing themselves and kept saying the red carpet. Why blue carpet anyways? To be different or because it matched the color scheme of Orbit's, one of the show's sponsors. William Levy, Pitbull with his nut hugger white pants and Wilmer Valderama looked good and for the women Anahi, Shakira, Jacqueline Bracamontes looked amazing and beautiful. Why, why and more why would they wear this is to shock and gossip. Niurka Marcos and Eduardo Antonio brought their freak show last night, while singer Fredo stopped by a garage sale.
Winsin y Yandel won for best concert, and we couldn't agree more. They have an amazing show, which has made a ton of money this year and we hear the duo is taking the show to Brazil in September. That should be interesting.
One of our favorite performances of the night was Marta Sanchez and Carlos Baute singing their hit single Colgando en Tus Manos. We loved the fact the audience knew every word.
Ex alum of RBD, Dulce Maria couldn't be more obvious that she was lip-synching a la Britney, with no stage performance, and might not be able to handle it without her RBD counterparts. Her "Sex in the City" ruffled dress we liked and was the only positive thing we could say and kind of disappointed that Univision used her to close the show, to what so far was a pretty good production.
