One of the greatest nights in Latin music came alive with a spectacular three-stage opening performance featuring Chayanne, Thalía and Alejandro Fernández who sang some of their most recent hits as well as long time favorites.
Reggaeton king Daddy Yankee surprised everyone with one of the biggest productions of the night set against a virtual, futuristic backdrop that included a special lightning effect for the live, blowout premiere of his latest single “Descontrol.”
While bachata group Aventura mesmerized the audience as they flew through the arena on top of a bridge for their medley performance of “Su Veneno” and the live premiere of “Dile al Amor.”
Pop diva Paulina Rubio performed an exclusive remix of her most recent hit “Ni Rosas Ni Juguetes,” which was broadcast with a special black and white effect, only seen by viewers at home, resembling an old wild-west movie.
Additional performances included: Héctor “El Torito” Acosta's “Sin Perdón” with Colombian duo Jorge Celedón and Jimmy Zambrano, Paquita la Del Barrio sang “Rata de Dos Patas”; Nelly Furtado’s crossover performance of “Manos al Aire,” pop artist Pee Wee’s performance of a special mix of his hit “Quédate”; Jenni Rivera’s performance of “Ya Lo Sé"; the live debut of Tito “El Bambino’s” new single “Te Pido Perdón”; Alejandro Fernández and Chayanne performed their respective hits “Se Me Va La Voz” and “Me Enamoré de Ti”; and a fantastic closing number by Puerto Rican merengue group Grupo Manía which brought the audience to its feet.

We said sueñan, not duermen... malpensados!
It looks like Canadian pop star Nelly Furtado y el ícono de la música ranchera, Alejandro Fernandez, hooked up in Miami to record one of the tracks for Nelly's first full-length Spanish album Mi Plan. "Sueños" is the song that brought them together to fuse their musical talent for one of several collaborations on Nelly's latest, release this past September. Other great collabs include Juan Luis Guerra, Julieta Venegas, y hasta La Mala Rodríguez.
Currently, Alejandro can be found in Guadalajara prepping for his own album release, Dos Mundos, which promises to show fans both sides of his world, the regional Mexican and his cross over into pop music. Le deseamos mucha suerte a Alejandro!
