Latin Grammys Live Up To Tr3s Predictions

By Michael Lopez

Seeing how the 11th Annual Latin Grammys were held in Vegas this year, it should have been fitting for us to place bets on all of our predictions. Because yes, our hand-picked favorites seemed to dominate the show! But what no one could have predicted were the flying acrobats, surprise duets, and outrageous outfits worn by this year’s performers.

Where to begin? How about with the big winners. As we suspected, Tr3s faves Camila took home Record Of The Year for Mientes. But they did surprise us with two more victories, for Song of the Year (sorry Enrique) and Best Pop Album by a Group. Newly single Mario Domm spoke about the win and didn’t seem too humbled by the experience,

"We wanted people to know that our first Latin Grammy wasn't an accident. We wanted them to know we're three people who give a lot of harmony to the universe; harmony that contrasts with the chaos of the world.”

Speaking of harmony, as we predicted, Nelly Furtado took home Best Pop Vocal for her Mi Plan album. Sporting a sexy black dress, she seemed very excited about the win. And we’re sure she was just as excited for her collaborator Alex Cuba, who won for Best New Artist (yes, we called that one too).

Additionally, Juan Luis Guerra picked up three more Latin Grammys for his work on A Son de Guerra and Alejandro Sanz was recognized for his excellent Paraiso Express album.

Now for the other fun stuff. Hosts Eugenio Derbez and Lucero kept the night fun and light. And our own fan fave, Prince Royce, shone like a star, crooning a “Stand By Me” duet with the original singer, Ben E. King! There were also Cirque du Soleil acrobats flying during Camila’s “Besame” performance and a JabbaWockeeZ dance to Nelly’s “Bajo Otra Luz.”

And how about the fashion statements of the night? Natalia Jimenez takes the cake there, with the multicolored beaded ensemble she wore during her Ricky Martin duet. J. Lo's shimmering brown dress caught plenty of attention and Mala Rodriguez went for a bright blue miniskirt!

Overall it was an incredible evening and we can only imagine the type of parties that went down afterward on the Las Vegas strip. Who knows, a few of them may even still be raging right now…
