  Premio Lo Nuestro is a Hit in Miami   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Thalía and Paulina Rubio each obtained a single award tonight, but certainly the best prize was the response of the public created by their striking presence in the salon.
Thalía wore three different outfits during the night, one when she arrived (tightly fitting and transparent, in coffee tones, another in the ceremony (1980's style, gold-colored with a wide belt), and still another in order to present her show (a metallic blouse with a pronounced cleavage and leather pants).
Paulina was not required to sing, but by the single act of having won the prize for Best Pop Album of the Year for her album of the same name, and being recognized with an ovation by her peers, one might say that she was also crowned queen of the night.

Every year they nominate and vote for the artists who turned in the year's "best" recordings and "best" performances.
What confuses me though is the Academy's (apparently haphazard) distinction between category titles such as "Song" and "Performance." One would assume that "Song" is the credibility of the music as it appears on paper, and "Performance" is the interpretation thereof.
But by performing songs with (and written by) a plethora of today's biggest pop stars, many of the songs on the album are charades of the Carlos Santana that has become an icon of Woodstock culture.
