10:52: Award for “Best Regional Mexican Album”…Marco Antonio Solis…yayayada…
WINNER: Intocable!
10:54: Here we go with RBD. Damn, the sound is terrible. Their voices aren’t all that strong to begin with, but pobrecitos, this is not helping them AT ALL. Why does the guy keep saying “Venga RBD!!!” Like he’s ordering the girls to start singing. Annoying. Okay, I really cannot see the appeal of these guys. Even Onda Vaselina was better than this! Man, what’s happened to Mexico since I’ve been gone?
10:56: That’s it folks! Happy to have been your snarky companion on this deep artistic journey…oh wait, of course, it’s not really over. That would be too easy. RBD AGAIN. Maybe this wil sound better…Confetti, okay good start…rolling the credits…they are so gonna get cut off…teenagers jump onto the stage…RBD has to flee! Abrupt CUT.
Good night!

24 Feb 200610:37: Andy Andy and Lu present “Best Rock en espanol artist”.
WINNER: JUANES!
Juanes is so great. “Todas mis canciones tienen un nombre y ese nombre es Colombia”. (Tearing up)
10:40: Okay some dumbasses are dancing “el perreo” in their evening gowns and tuxes. Where is Don Omar in all this? Best “Cancion genero urbano”. Oh, there’s Don Omar, nominated.
WINNER: Daddy Yankee! Why did this fool just call him “Danny Yankee”? Here we go with the subtitles again…”que tengamos los huevos reales…” WTF?
10:43: Paty is saying some oh-so-cliche crap about all Latinos loving their family and getting along perfectly. It’s an intro to a performance by Ana Barbara performing with…her siblings??? Huh?
Dude, her nose is unreal. I mean, I am biased because I hate her, but what is up with her nose? Wait…her bro has the same nose…so it’s not surgery!!!!!!!! Revelation of the year!!! She’s singing “Fruta prohibida” or something. Now some banda action with her bros. This is boring the hell out of me.
Man, these awards are LOOONG…

24 Feb 200610:17: WINNER: Laura Pausini is “Best Female Pop Artist” of the year. Okay, I don’t love her music but her personality is awesome. She’s proud to sing in Spanish. So cute.
10:18: Oh my God, I know they didn’t just call Sergio Goyri “el gran actor”. What standards are they using? “Grandes estrellas de peliculas de narcotraficantes”? Okay, here we go, “Banda” of the Year…
WINNER: Banda El Recodo…does anyone else ever win this?
Poncho accepted the award without the rest of the band…what up with that?
10:20: The ads…I’m bored of them…sorry…
10:24: Video of the year…didn’t catch who was presenting…Oh, God, again with Laura Pausini…Luis Fonsi…Luis Miguel…SHAKIRA!…Vico C…Anasol…
WINNER: Luis Fonsi!
He’s looking mighty surprised. “Mucha gracia May-ami!” Is he enanito? He looks so short. Dedicates the award to his “coco”. Some dumb chick in the audience gets caught using her phone on camera.
10:27: “Grupo aerobatico antigravity” doing some acrobatics with some reggaeton peeps…sorry, I’m ignorant, who are these people? I can only distinguish Daddy Yankee…Pretty awesome light show and choreography, whoever they are. “Racata…rrracataa….si se me pega voy a darle”. Thank God for Closed Captioning for the hearing impaired.

24 Feb 20069:22: Fernando Arau and Aron Gonzalez presenting Best “Genero urbano” artist. They are totally making fun of the reggaeton lexicon and pull out a “Reggaeton-Spanish / Spanish-Reggaeton” dictionary. Hmm…who will win. DUH.
WINNER: Daddy Yankee!
What is happening to me that DY looks appealing? Too much bitching about reggaeton comes back to bite you in the ass I guess. As usual I can’t understand.
9:24: Paty presents some Banda act. Didn’t catch who they were, I had to get up and that was the perfect time.
9:27: The ads…First GMC ad of the night. BORING…the same ones again and again. Unless there is something new, I won’t comment on them anymore.

24 Feb 20069:00: Best regional Mexican song presented by Mauricio Aspe and Eugenia somebody.
WINNER: My boys Intocable! Yeah!
9:05: Best rock song presented by Reyli and Cynthia Olevarria…so very obvious who is going to win when Juanes is in the mix.
WINNER: JUANES!
9:07: Daddy Yankee is about to hit the stage. It sounds LOUD. OMG, the stage, the background, the design is awesome! Truly a show-stopper. Huge screens, bigger than life, flashing the words “Hermandad” and quotes by Victor Hugo. I’m not a reggaeton fan, but that was great!
9:10: The Ads: Wendy’s again. Did I mention I really like this ad? Finally something smart in Latino-targeted advertising. Chevy Tahoe…God their ads or so boring and not targeted at all. There’s the vitamin commercial again…”genetically specific for Hispanics”…sorry for the redundance, but WTF??? AT&T…a mainstream ad with a Latino voiceover. Way to go, AT&T. Sierra Mist…pretty good ad, marginally funny, which is a lot for Latino marketing.

23 Feb 20068:40: Best new artist…I KNEW IT…RBD. Like La Mala, I have no idea what their appeal is. They are just like Garibaldi.
8:45: Emilio Estefan (esta gordito) presenting an award for an artist whose career has spanned 30 years. Who is it? None other than Marco Antonio Solis. Standing ovation He looks like Jesus Christ, as usual, and as usual, thanks his look-alike. Singing a medley of his greatest hits. Very good performance, his voice is perfect. The cheeseball women behind him dancing are not. Also not okay was Ana Barbara and her new hubby Pirru (friends of Marco Antonio — he was at their recent wedding) hugging and singing along. Standing ovation.
8:49: The ads: MasterCard ad. Repeating World Cup Theme. Clothes ad…what is it? Music in Spanish but “mainstream” models…men and women flirting…what is this for??? JC Penney! Chevy truck ad set to a Spanish pop tune, nothing notable. Another cell phone ad…this time it’s not T Mobile but Verizon. Yeah, cell phone companies, tear each others’ eyes out for the Latino market!

23 Feb 20068:20: The ads: Pepsi, with Eva Longoria…not a fave. TMobile: I love it. Guys texting each other, arguing whether a soccer play was a foul or not. Budweiser ad was boring. Nothing truly groundbreaking here.
8:25: My paisanos Intocable singing “Contra Viento y marea”. Awesome. Looks like they fixed the sound.
8:28: Award time: Best Tropical Album…I want Olga to win…
Everyone is screaming “OLGA!”
WINNER: YEAH!! OLGA!!!! I heart Olga!
Now she’s dancing with some reggaeton guy and singing her thanks.
8:30: No idea who these fools are. Un tal Jorge Reyes presenting Best Album, “genero urbano”.
WINNER: Luny Tunes and Baby Ranks…I can’t understand a word they are saying, except “Viva el reggaeton!”
8:32: The Ads: Hispanic Vitamins? “Only for the Hispanic community”…WTF???
The Wendy’s ad…I love it. It’s so silly but really my kind of funny. Glad to see I misread Stuart Elliot (NYT) in thinking that the real Latino artists were going to be in the ad.
Chevy Impala…typical car ad.

23 Feb 2006Almost 8:00…start already! Got my beer and I’m ready to go.
What the HELL is Marco Antonio Solis wearing???
Not so live from San Francisco…
8:00 — Juanes!!! He always looks so effortless when he’s performing. OMG the sound is horrible. Can we get some production value over here?
8:05 pm — Juanes introduces Shakira. Wow — two HOT stars back to back! Pobrecita has got her pajamas on. It’s very her though. AGAIN with the horrible sound. Weird to see her not gyrating around. I love Shakira. Prediction: she will be the star of this show.
8:10 — Paty Manterola and Rene Strickler (hosts) come out. Dumb schtick. Paty welcomes the English speaking audience, letting them know that they can get the English channel for sound as well. Crowd cheers when Daddy Yankee’s name is mentioned and when they mention Luis Miguel…nada.
8:12 — First award, presented by Jaqueline “Saltamontes” and Roberto Palazuelos: Best Album. Shakira, Kumbia Kings, Pausini, Luis Fonsi, Obie Bermudez.
WINNER: SHAKIRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
8:15 — La Quinta Estacion presenting the next award, Females artist of the year, Regional Mexican category: Ana Barbara, Diana Reyes, Isabela, Mariana (who ARE these people???)
WINNER: Ana Barbara…sin comentario All really had to say was “gracias” but not to her new hubby
