Okay, it's that time again.  The time for another epic musical showdown that is.  This time: El Rey del Reggaeton vs. The Kings of Bachata.  Who would win?!

On the left side of the ring is Don Omar, who with his "Virtual Diva" and "Reggaeton Latino" has kept our bodies shakin' on the dancefloor... but holding their own on the right side is Aventura.  Romeo y el resto de los K.O.B. have been melting corazoncitos con bachata jams like "Dile Al Amor" y "Por Un Segundo."  Pero... who has earned the right to the throne??  YOU TELL US!



Watch more Aventura & Don Omar videos on MTVTr3s.com. Don't miss El Rey del Reggaeton vs. The Kings of Bachata all weekend long por MTV Tr3s, starting este sábado at 2pm EST.

The epic collaboration between todos los mejores artistas del mundo de la música Latina has hit the airwaves.  It's a veritable who's who of Latin music, and all for a great cause -- helping raise funds for Haiti, following January's devastating earthquake.

Who can you spot in the video?  We're kinda digging on the remix portion where Pitbull and Daddy Yankee come in over the electric guitar... and we're dying to know, who is that mystery guitarrista?

Watch the video below, and weigh in -- que te parece la versión en Español?  Cual es tu parte favorita? Who else would you have liked to see in the video?

How did this street sensation by Dominican group Black Point become an overnight hit? And just what exactly does "Watagatapitusberry" mean? Well, according to Urban Dictionary, if you're not a Dominicano, you're just not going to understand. But that doesn't mean that you won't want to bust a move cuando lo escuches! Check out Pitbull's explanation of why he decided to do a remix de la canción below and then check out the full video featuring fellow Miami Emcee, Lil Jon.

We're excited about the premiere of 'Somos El Mundo' (i.e. 'We Are The World' en Español) esta noche!  The music video, produced by Emilio Estefan, Quincy Jones and Univision, features an all-star roster of performers, including newly confirmed Ricky Martin, Shakira, Daddy Yankee, Luis Miguel, Gloria Trevi, and Belinda.  Previously announced talent include Aventura, Pitbull, Chayanne, Juanes, Luis Fonsi, Thalia, Paulina Rubio, Tito "El Bambino," Juan Luis Guerra, Taboo of Black Eyed Peas, Jenni Rivera, Gloria Estefan, Alacranes Musical, Pee Wee, y muchos, muchos más!  Can you say Latin Music dream come true?!

The video was produced as a companion to the new (English-version) 'We Are The World' video that was created to support Haiti following the massive earthquake that shook the nation.  Y ahora, con el terremoto en Chile este fin de semana, a Spanish version of the song couldn't be more fitting.  Following the 10pm premiere of the video, you can find more info on the epic collaboration at www.somoselmundo.org, so make sure to check that out after 10pm!  Info on the premiere can be found at Univision.com.

Tell us -- will you watch the video?  Y estás tan emocionado como nosotros? [PR NewsWire]

Jennifer Lopez has spent most of her singing career at Sony Music Epic Records, but after today, that relationship ended like most of her marriages-cold turkey!  Some say Lopez fulfilled her Sony contract with her last two singles, while others are speculating that Sony dropped her.

Her manager Benny Medina confirmed the split this morning.

"Jennifer had a wonderful relationship with the Sony Music group, and they have shared many successes together, but the time was right to make a change that best serves the direction her career as an actress and recording artist. She is grateful and appreciative to everyone Sony for all that they accomplished together."

Lopez insiders claim the decision was "a mutual one" between the star and label’s current CEO Rob Stringer (younger brother to Sony parent company CEO Howard Stringer). The rumor is the two had a meeting at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles during Grammy week, and, after a "heart-to-heart" conversation, the star and executive decided to end the long relationship. “It was all very amicable. They hugged at the end of the meeting,” claims one. Meanwhile, Sony will still be releasing her "Greatest Hits" album in the fall.

There also is disagreement on how finished her upcoming album was before it was canceled. Internet reports say her 7th studio album, titled "Love?", was supposed to come out in April. A song from it titled "Fresh Out The Oven" surfaced online in October 2009 as a buzz single and reached #1 on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Songs chart. But the official lead single, "Louboutins", had its radio debut on November 23 following the song's premiere and performance at the 2009 American Music Awards and then peaked at #31 on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart.Lopez insiders claim the album was "by no means done" and everyone was "only a few songs into it" and "unlike movie dates, street dates rarely hold in the music biz". Others say the album isn't being released because "Louboutins" bombed, as did her performance at the American Music Awards.

Supposedly, Lopez hasn't wasted any time getting signed elsewhere: it’s rumored she is already in talks with Island Def Jam’s bigwig L.A. Reid to come to his label.

Could Jennifer stage a comeback? Or should she call it quits?

Just in time for Valentine's Day, Daddy Yankee is spilling on el momento más romántico de su vida.

No es sorpresa that he picked su boda as the most romantic moment of his life (aww!), pero we were a little excited to hear about his new fragrance for women.  El reggaetonero has decided to market a scent para todas las mujeres, called DY Diamante, following the success of his cologne last year.  El perfume (nos preguntamos a que huele?!) will be released at the same time as his new album, 'Mundial.'  Hmm... double Valentine's Day present?

What can we say about Debi Nova?  A super hot singer-songwriter from Costa Rica dancing on a beach with a few of her hottest friends... color us intrigued!  So, quien es esta nueva cantante?

Don't be fooled by su bello rostro; Debi Nova is way more than just a pretty girl with a killer voice to match!  As a 6 time Latin Grammy-nominated songwriter, she has written hit canciones for the likes of Belinda, RBD, the Black-Eyed Peas and Sean Paul.  Plus, she also plays a host of different musical instruments, including electric and acoustic guitars, piano, bass, and percussion.  We were pretty impressed with her Alicia Keys-like rendition of Juan Luis Guerra's classic, "Bachata Rosa," which she performed at the Miss Costa Rica pageant way back in 2007.  And she shakes her hips in a way that would even make Shakira verde de la envidia!  Oh, and she's only 24!  She's definitely the whole package, y no nos aguantamos por ver con que más nos va a sorprender!

Check out her new video for "Drummer Boy" below, as well as the Making of the Video here. Catch Debi Nova on her MySpace and Twitter for more info and to listen to some more tracks!

Chances are you've heard the super hot remix to Don Omar's 'Hasta Abajo' as it's blowing up la radio.  Pero si aún no lo has escuchado, check it out here!

Por cierto, that's Daddy Yankee who joined in with the King of Kings on the remix to 'Hasta Abajo' and we're happy the duo have put aside their beef to collaborate on this track. This is the first time 'El Rey' and 'El Jefe' have worked together since 'Royal Rumble' on Los Benjamins. Could more collaborations be coming from Daddy and Don? We know fans are excited but what would los lideres, Wisin y Yandel, have to say about this?  Could there be a new Reggaeton superstar team looking to claim Wisin y Yandel's throne?

Que creen ustedes?!  Weigh in below!
