Re: Campeones Campeones (none / 0)

Well he must be "big in Europe" because you all know who he is, while I have never heard of him. Not that I pay too close attention to anything here either...

Re: Campeones Campeones (none / 1)

I think he was bigger in the US than Europe (minus Spain?), but maybe not a musical style you care about.

Oh, and you're definitely right, Hasselhoff's foray into music is Europop/trash, German version...

Re: Campeones Campeones (none / 1)

Look at his wiki page. He seems to be confined to the Latin music niche within the US.

He's hot in the UK, Australia, France, ... Bulgaria.

Bulgaria! His fans are in Bulgaria!

On a serious note, here in the middle of America, you don't hear Spanish language music unless you listen to the Spanish language stations & channels. I generally do not. I know of people like, say, Christina Aguilera, because the media is plastered with them. The media -I swear- is not plastered with Enrique Iglesias.

Miami hardly representative of America. But there appears to be widespread knowledge of this guy throughout Europe.

Well, we know about him because he has the connections to get himself plastered all over the media. Sort of like Paris Hilton.

Re: Campeones Campeones (none / 1)

I quoted Wikipedia and posted a video evidencing that he made the crossover into English.

We only know him because we know his fellow/rival American star... Ricky Martin :-)

He was a big pop star here for a few years at the beginning of the decade.

Re: Campeones Campeones (none / 0)

This all started because you knew who he was and I did not.

Now you're acting out to divert attention from the fact!

Re: Campeones Campeones (none / 1)

And note that "at the begining of the decade" some of us were in too much complete freaking shock, followed by anger and outrage, to be paying much attention to pop stars.

There's always room for obscenity scandals in the US national attention span. And I heard that Janet Jackson's breast hates us for our freedoms.

I only want him to go back to Chicago ...and you may want to include him in an Odds & Ends for his ex-wife :-)

On Friday June 27, 2008 Iglesias revealed to a British newspaper that he and Anna Kournikova were married last year but are now divorced and he is currently single.

What?

Well, in Spain we can be forgiven for knowing who he is since we've had him showed down our throats since he decided he was going to be as famous as his dad.
