    Okay??? so who are you??

  2. ang

    He is Juanes. A Colombian rocker….he’s been selling albums as a solo artist for a couple of years now.

    Check out his website:
    http://www.juanes.net/espanol/index.htm

    He is truly an incredible musician.

  3. He’s incredibly popular in Latin America. I haven’t heard of him trying to cross-over to music in English though… So maybe that’s why he made that comment.

    *Shudder*

  5. margie

    Than keep your shirt on and cut your fucking hair.

  6. mark

    No, you’d rather be little Antonio Bandana instead. Nice tats. Every gay man in Chelsea has the same ones. Sweet!

  7. Maddyboy

    Delicioso.

  8. Maria

    Of course he’s not the new Ricky Martin, he’s a completely different talentless fuck!

  9. moi.

    when you dont know someone dont judge them. fucking narrow minded people here. u havent heard of him big deal! u know why? cause he didnt make a crossover album. he kept it in his own language and is still selling like crazy in fact he just won 3 latin grammys.(in ur face for fucks sakes) and this just happenes to be just ONE of his photos he doesnt try to look cool-hes engaged wiht a new born. moreover ive seen his interviews and he looks like a decent guy. im sure this is just one part of his quote (the way you misjudge peoples sayings). so if u havent got anything cool to say DONT SAY ANYTHING DIDNT U FUCKING LEARN THT? keep it to yourself and GROW UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

  10. Maria, you don’t know what you’re talking about. He’s very talented… but I guess if you’re a ricky martin fan, you wouldn’t know anything about talent.

  11. timmons622

    He’s only hot from the nexk down, and he kind of reminds me of Fabio. CHEEZY!!!

  12. Dicky

    He really does look a lot better with shorter hair as evidenced by his photos from his album, Fíjate Bien.

    With regard to his music, his more recent albums sound a lot more like your pop factory items than the stuff from his first solo album. I personally would blame his apparent inability to integrate his identities of father/committed to someone into his music. He sounds like he’s singing words now, rather than feeling his music.

    Of course, that won’t stop me from buying his albums…

  13. toodles

    Why do they try to compare every latin star that crosses over to Ricky Martin. Ricky Martin Music was thumping music???
    Not really defined except for the constant thumping..
    Whereas Juanes music is very romantic and very defined in Lyric especially about his country’s plight.

    I am not a person who normally buys spanish music but when I heard her music over the net I fell in love with it. I didn’t know what he looked like till I got the album. He is a much more rounded performer than Ricky and doesn’t have to shake his bon bon to prove it.
    PS I LOVE< LOVE LOVE the hairy chest. thanks for the picture- REAL MEN HAVE HAIR!

  14. toodles

    PS I LOVE LOVE LOVE the picture… REAL MEN HAVE HAIR?? ESPECIALLY LATINOS.. mmmmmmmmmm mmmmmm good.

  15. too bad

    The picture doesn’t do his eyes justice. I have seen closeups of his face and his eyes and smile are amazing.

  16. toodles

    Almost like when Cillian Murphy said “I’M Not Collin Farrell” He did not being compared either….

  17. Mar

    Lawgirl, I’m not a fan of either one of them. Let me rephrase my comment. He’s not the new Ricky Martin, he’s ANOTHER talentless fuck. And you do happen to know what you’re talking about? You’re guessing shit about me!

  18. Alyson

    Okay, how come like a week ago when I tried to post an intelligent comment and referenced a movie dealing with a third-world crisis, I got denied for questionable content…but morons with a fourth-grade education and a firm grasp on the four letter words with which they can pepper their sketchy arguments have no problem?

  19. adri

    Shakira y Ricky Martin son lo mismo (no son malos) pero Juanes revoluciono el concepto de la musica latina q se tenia en el mundo

  20. adri

    JUANES ES EL SER MAS BELLO DEL MUNDO

  21. Rachel

    i’ve heard some of his music before and i think he’s pretty cool. i heard he’s won many awards in latin america before.

  22. Jose

    Juanes as Luis Miguel once said likes singing in spanish, he believes in singing in his language and it that way entering in other countries…for a Mtv’s awards he had a t-shirt that said “Se habla español”. Now maybe his style is a little more washed out, but he have great social related songs, talks about the polittical situation in his country (wich is pretty difficult) and hell yes! he is nothing like Ricky Martin! He used to play in a metal rock band!
    Ricky Martin…I don’t know, I like the guy, but he is too commercial for me…I want more meaningful lyrics, like Arjona! that guy sure can write.

  23. Michelle

    Juanes has won 12 Latin Grammy’s and so many more awards that I don’t have the time nor the energy to name. He writes his own music and his concerts are about the music not about the show.
    He says he isn’t the next Ricky Martin because he doesn’t care to sing in english. Nor does he want his concerts to be more about spectacle than about his music. And he definitely wants to keep writing his own music.

    He wants to keep being Juanes. He doesn’t care is the american population doesn’t know him. Because Germany, Austria, Italy, Hungary, The Netherlands, Japan, Spain and all of South America adore him.

  24. too bad

    Thats not true we Americans here love him to. I really started to listen to his music this years. i came across it by accident on the net. I think his writing and music is fab. I hope he does stick to spanish because alot of things he says are lost in transaltion. The meaning is deeper when its said in his native tongue. Same thing with Shakira the translation of her spanish songs dont sound right. but when I hear them in English the lyrics make more sense.

  25. too bad

    I meant when I hear them in spanish. Like the song “Ojos asi” from the album “Moscas en la casa.” Other cultures would not understand its meaning so easily.
    I saw his recent concert where he was singing and the whole audience was singing the song with him.
