Last night Univision aired the third annual Premios Juventud live from Miami complete with a blue carpet to welcome the estrellas and semi-estrellas. Many of the usual suspects were present including Don Omar, RBD, Alejandra Guzman, Ivy Queen, Calle 13, India, Bacilos , Thalia and Bobby Larios (sans Niurka). Notably absent were Shakira, who is on her nation-wide Oral Fixation tour and Daddy Yankee,who actually was booed when he won Artista Favorita de Musica Urbana. The fashion on the blue welcome mat was tetas and culos for the women, with the exception of Thalia, who wore a short gold dress for her entrance.

It seems that every year more and more awards show are created that really are just excuses for the stars to show off and give us common folk a chance to gawk. Premios Juventud was no different. With a cheesy opening scene and yawn worthy performances (when they weren’t downright bad), it was a struggle for me to watch the 4 hour show. The awards, based on votes from Univision veiwers, were wrapped in cheesy catagories like “Me Pongo la Camisa de…” and “La Pelicula mas Padre es…“.

Not surprisingly, RBD took most of the awards, including Musica del Momento, La Cancion Mas Pegajosa, y me Quiero Vestir Como…..

Some semi-memorable moments included Thalia, looking like a faiy godmother, singing bachata with Romeo from Aventura, Calle 13‘s flying bike, Ivy Queen‘s special recognition, and a farewell performance by Bacilos.
