Did you miss the season 5 premiere of "Quiero Mis Quinces"? We've got you covered: Tr3s was behind the scenes during Jackelyn's epic event and we've brought you some of the best moments right here on Blogamole, including the full episode! Enjoy — and don't miss Leah's quinceañera on Monday (July 26) at 7 PM ET!

By Francisco Arellano

For most young Latinas, turning 15 and celebrating their quinceañera marks the moment when a little girl becomes a woman. This special milestone fiesta generally takes several months or even years to plan. There is always too much to decide: at home or at a venue? Should the cake be chocolate or strawberry? Beef, chicken or maybe tamales for dinner? To have a DJ and play some Banda or Electronica? Who to invite, and for sure, to NOT invite, y claro, the main subject: The Dress.

In this season's premiere (July 19) episode of "Quiero Mis Quinces," it was Jackelyn’s turn to celebrate her quinces a lo grande!

After a long day that started early in the morning with hair, nails and make-up, la quinceañera arrived at the venue around 4:30pm to make sure everything was perfect and to receive all her guests.  The first thing we noticed upon our arrival at the venue was her purple and white dress.

These are Jackelyn's favorites colors and she made sure she was the only person at her party rocking them.  La quinceañera seemed very nervous after a long day and even longer days of planning to make sure her dream of a perfect quinceañera came true.

The tables, the food, the DJ, everything looked great, but as her parents and sister Stephanie mentioned, getting to this point wasn’t easy: “She changed her mind a lot with everything, but today, all that is worth it.”

Family and friends started to arrive. At the entrance, there was a guest book for friends and family to sign in and leave a special note for Jackelyn.

Don Omar is no stranger to drama (as his marriage to Jackie Guerrido will attest), pero su más reciente canción, "Sexy Robotica," is stirring up international controversy thanks to some questionable lyrics.

Colombian artistas como Fonseca, as well as political leaders and fans, aren't thrilled about the reference to Latino drug use found on "Sexy Robotica," in which he alludes to cocaine en conexión con el país, considering the stigma los colombianos have had to struggle with for decades.

El Don responded to la controversia with a press release stating:

Nunca le he faltado el respeto a ningún colombiano. Faltarle el respeto a los sucesos que ha vivido un pueblo y querer callarlos no se llama progreso, se llama ‘Vergüenza’ de los mismos. Mis respetos a todos los colombianos en el mundo que disfrutan de mi música, de su país, que vivieron su pasado y que trabajan duro para que el futuro sea distinto….pero en libertad, no en hipocresía.

Do you think the lyrics to "Sexy Robotica" are offensive? [Latin Gossip]
