Most Spectacular Performances At The 2011 Latin Grammys

By Ikam Acosta

There were several phenomenal performers that shone on the Latin Grammys stage at last night. Sie7e's 'Yo Tengo Tu Love' was a huge sensation with the crowd, while Pepe Aguilar brought his mariachi band for a full-on Mexican performance during the latter half of the Latin Grammys.

Shakira made it snow at this year's Latin Grammys with a subtle shower of glitter during her long-awaited performance. She brought the winter wonderland to Las Vegas, wearing a sparkly fitted dress with a loose peaches and cream skirt. The cherry blossom trees decorating the stage gave her act a fairytale quality, and her soft vocals lent an eerie dreamy quality to her song.

I guess the theme was precipitation this year, because Maná also made it rain on stage while they played 'Lluvia Al Corazon.' More rain is forecast to come later in the evening, during Marc Anthony and Pitbull's performance. Stay tuned.

The Colombian songstress did an encore performance later on that evening after they announced her much-deserved honor for person of the year. Her humanitarian efforts were highlighted in a comprehensive video montage right before she took the stage for a second time.

Shakira then proceeded to serenade us with some Steven Tyler-inspired moves, complete with scarves on the microphone stand and all. She then took her red jacket off and proceeded to rock the house to 'Loca,' with her amazing voice and hypnotic dance moves.

Demi Lovato was a big hit with her duet with Pablo Alborán, singing "Solamente Tú." I don't think many people are used to her singing in Spanish, but she proved she could hold her own. Her voice sounded amazing.

Mark Anthony’s performance with Pitbull for 'Rain Over Me' was very dynamic, and the chorus line of dancers behind them made it a great act. Half the dancers were getting rained on, while the other half re-enacted a number that seemed straight from the Broadway hit Chicago, complete with chair dances and all. These two Latinos sure know how to work a crowd!
