Chayanne Prepares For Tonight - Latin Billboard Awards 2014

There could never be one word to describe Chayanne, but today I'm going to use two, consummate professional. On the heels of what could be called nothing less than a tragedy, the loss of his beloved mother, Chayanne was in rehearsals last night for the Latin Billboard awards.

I have no doubt that Chayanne's performance will be stellar as always. Long time friend and choreographer Nancy O'Meara is once again at the helm of his dance crew so we know the dancing will be tight! There are some familiar faces as well as some new ones.

I have my snacks set for an evening of serious enjoyment! So be there or be seriously square! The Latin Billboard Awards are set for tonight, April 24, 2014 and will be televised at 7pm EST on Telemundo.


Chayanne - You know you're already getting a standing "O" from me. Sending a strong warm hug

Much Love!

Chayanne Kickin' it With A New Dance Crew, GIGANT3S

Media Research: Fantasia Chayanne

Chayanne (El Capitan) (Check out the Q&A with Chayanne on FAMAweb.com)

12 days and counting until Chayanne along with Marc Anthony, and Marco Antonio Solis kick off the much anticipated GIGANT3S. So you know what that means, Chayanne and Nancy O'Meara have put together a hot dance crew! Some of the faces you know and love, but most are brand new to the Chayanne family.

We start off as always, with the well known and much loved Samuel (Sammy) Nelms and Marcus E. Mitchell. Both of these extremely talented dancers are returning to the crew, fresh off the heels of mega tour, "No Hay Imposibles".In addition to Sanny and Marcus there are six new dancers that have been added to the family. Please give a warm welcome, as only Chayanne fans know how to, Alex Clark, Jessica Cropper, Audrey Douglas, Willie Gomez, Jermaine Jackson, and Natalie LaRose.

I'm totally stoked to see GIGANT3S, AC Here I come! And if I know Nancy O'Meara, Chayanne's friend and long-time choreographer, this show is going to be fresh, full of surprises, and Totally off the chain!

Peace~

 

Samuel (Sammy) Nelms (Always hot, always fresh)

Also returning is one of our "No Hay Imposibles" favorites Marcus E. Mitchell

Now for the Newbies!

Alex Clark (Ready to get her dance on)

Jessica Cropper (Totally on Pointe)

Audrey Douglas (Ready for business!)

Willie Gomez (Ladies....pick your eyes up of the ground, put your tongues back in your mouth and wipe the drool off your chin!)

Jermaine Jackson (All of a sudden I have a craving for chocolate!)

Natalie LaRose (My girl looks like she's ready to get her Chayanne Party on!)

The Heat Is On!! Getting Up To Speed On Chayanne!

Once the ball get's rolling there's definitely no stopping it, and the Chayanne ball is rolling!! So let's play a little game of catching up to speed!

Let's start with Chayanne's performance in the 150th Anniversary of the battle of the 5 de Mayo in Puebla, Mexico, on May 5, 2012. The celebration began at approximately 8 pm and was televised internationally.  Those who will performed include our beloved Chayanne, Espinoza Paz and Marc Anthony as the closing encore from the Cuauhtemoc Stadium.  The FREE show went on for about 2 hours.

Just in case you missed it here are highlights of the show.




At the start of the video you can see the rain steadily pouring down, only to be met with throngs of adoring fans, and Chayanne, who's smile can give the sun a run for his money!

It was reported that he slipped during concert, I'm sure that slip got to his ankle just a bit. So Chayanne's fans do what they do best and poured out tweets and messages of concern for his health. Chayanne was quick to respond via Twitter with lovely words of gratitude to his fans for their beautiful messages and get well wishes.

What happens next you ask? Auditions in L.A., for Gigantes? Or for his next solo tour....that's what was happening this week out in Los Angeles. Chayanne tweeted about it, long time friend and Choreographer Nancy O'Meara tweeted about it.....and hopeful dancers were out in droves!

My personal favorite for the week is that tickets went on pre-sale yesterday for Gigant3s in Atlantic City, San Antonio, general public sales will begin today. (Yes I've got my tickets! It's going to be a hot time in A.C. on August 17, 2012)

Then to make the week even more special as if it could get any better Chayanne sent out his Mother's Day greeting to all the beautiful moms out there.

Click the link to take you to the original post, this way you can have your special greeting from Chayanne in it's original desktop perfect size!

And the message that came along with the greeting? "Ustedes madres son el motor de la existencia humana." Mis respetos y todo mi cariño. ("You mothers are the engine of human existence." My respect and my love.")

This just about catches us up on the comings and goings of Chayanne, but if you really want to stay abreast of what's going on with "Sir Rocks A-Lot", as some of his fans call him, you should check out his official pages www.chayanne.com , http://www.facebook.com/CHAYANNE , and  https://twitter.com/#!/CHAYANNEMUSIC   


With all of that said, have a wonderful weekend and to all of you mother's out there, be blessed!

5,6,7,8...Nancy O'Meara Getting Chayanne's Crew Tight!

Two days ago on Twitter Chayanne's long time friend and Choreographer, Nancy O'Meara gave us a quick peek behind the scenes of Chayanne's upcoming performance in Puebla, Mexico.

Nancy O'Meara, Choreographer

I can't tell you how good it feels to know that THIS Saturday May 5, 2012 we'll get to watch Chayanne and the Family back in action! While Chayanne, Nancy, and all the dancers have been super friendly and continuously active with their fans, watching them do what they do best is a treat you definitely don't want to miss.

Here's what happens when you have a family reunion....(Turn up you sound for this one, the sound is a bit low) Brandon baby, don't you worry about your cheeks! Women love a man with some thickness is his cheeks!

Here's another really cool clip that Marcus shot of Brandon and himself having a bit of "Gimme, Gimme".

As my blogger sister in arms Bariloche put down the other day, "With the excitement that has been surrounding the GIGANT3S Tour, we have all forgotten one little detail...  Chayanne will be performing in Puebla for 5 de Mayo!

The City is getting ready to a magnificent show for the 150th anniversary of the battle of 5 de Mayo in Puebla, Mexico.  The Governor of the city of Puebla explained that on this day, they will start the celebration as they always do... with a military march and aerial show.  They will then re-enact the battle of 5 de Mayo with the participation of 8,000 soldiers.

At night, the celebration will continue at approximately 8 pm with a show that will be televised internationally.  Those who will perform include our beloved Chayanne, Espinoza Paz and Marc Anthony as the closing encore from the Cuauhtemoc Stadium.  The FREE show will go on for about 2 hours.

If my ears did not deceived me earlier, Univision has started announcing the show and they will televise the celebration for our delight.  So put it on your calendars!  You have a date with Chayanne and Marc Anthony this upcoming Saturday night.  Get the Guacamole, Salsa, Chips and Tequila ready!"

"If This Is To Be Our End" Chayanne's Whirlwind No Hay Imposibles Tour Closes With Last Show In Oaxaca

"If this is to be our end, then I would have them make such an end as to be worthy of remembrance." ~ King Theoden From  the Lord Of The Rings, Two Towers

October 29, at the Auditorio la Guelaguetza, in Oaxaca, Mexico Chayanne ended his 18 month run of "No Hay Imposibles. I didn't have the pleasure of being at the last show, but from the looks of the pictures, the tweets, and video uploads, Chayanne ended his tour the EXACT same way that he started it.....HARD CORE!!! 


I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there have been very few concert tours that landed on Billboard's "Top Ten Tours" every week that they had a show. Can your mind wrap itself around that? REALLY? That means that of all the tours being held over the last 18 months that NHI placed in the top ten based on Total Gross, Show Dates, Show Venue/City (Shows/Sellouts), Total Attendance (Capacity).


I'm also going to go out on a limb and say that there have been very few concert tours where there has been such a strong sense of connection from the artist, to the dancers, the musicians, crew and the fans. Thanks to the advances of the social media outlets, we were able to share tweets and videos from Chayanne and Nancy's behind the scenes clips, to the very well put together video clips made by the dancers.(Belly Buttons don't die! They multiply!)


I know I can speak for myself, my very dear friend Anniee Renes of Chayanne Rocks, and the incredible ladies of Pandora's Caja when I say that we had a blast with Nancy O'Meara and her first ever fan driven interview. Nancy you are amazing....and you Dazzle! Our interviews with Brandon Barton and Marcus E. Mitchell (go ahead and scream they are super fine hotties!)


Pandora's Caja over the last year has been a blast! It started out with just me and now I have the great pleasure of working along side five incredible sister's in the cause, Bariloche, Candela, Fantasia Chayane (who almost single handedly makes Pandora's Caja page on FB run like a well oiled machine! Besos!) Glamour Girl, and La Guerita. These ladies are the heartbeats of the box.


Yesterday Chayanne sent this beautiful message to his fans via twitter and email:

"Today I share with you a sense of excitement and gratitude. "No Hay Imposibles" (Nothing is Impossible), my tour, has just ended and I'm happy to have shared it with you, in every country, every city, in every heart. Only your love, your energy and your support makes it possible for me to be there for you.

For over a year and a half I enjoyed every loving detail I received on stage, in hotels, airports, wherever I went.  It is a sign of your affection and you're all very well loved in return. I'd also like to thank the media from all around for their support and respect. Now begins a new phase for me and new projects, which I will soon be sharing with you. 

Hug,

Chayanne"

*Modified translation by Bariloche (Love you girl!)

Personally this has been 18 months of unexpected things, some good, some not so good, and then there were the things that that only sweet dreams are made of. There's only one thing that could be better than all of this.......and that I think I'll keep to  myself ;)


Peace~

“The winds that sometimes take something we love, are the same that bring us something we learn to love. Therefore we should not cry about something that was taken from us, but, yes, love what we have been given. Because what is really ours is never gone forever.” ~ Bob Marley

Seven More Days And I'll Be in Cordoba...Not Really, But Chayanne Will!

Tickets are being sold faster than they can be printed, Chayanne fans coming together and talking about where to have dinner before the concert......and I think it's beautiful. Chayanne is just about ready to hit the road for a third time to bring fans more and more of the "No Hay Imposibles" tour.

So of course in generous fashion Chayanne and Nancy have been giving fans little gifts to get their appetites ready.....as if they needed any particular encouragement.




I love all of these videos, but of course the last one is my favorite.....Chayanne's little secret.......Ahhhh, but
there's one more video......

This video is Chayanne in the recording session for "Amorcito Carazon", the theme song to the telenovela of the same name. And Chayanne left this tweet with the video, " Les comparto un pedacito de la grabación del tema Amorcito Corazon...esperen el tema muy pronto en iTunes." (I share a bit of the recording of Amorcito Carazon, expect the theme very soon on iTunes."

So was it just me or did you see that to? Another Chayanne song to be had on iTunes......to be continued ;)

And Then There Were Two.....New Dancers to Chayanne's Dance Crew That Is! Welcome Latrina Bolger

What can I tell you? Chayanne and Nancy O'Meara have been busy! Busy getting ready to set it off! We know there are going to be new dancers, but the questions remains...how many?

Today Nancy O'Meara sent out another warm welcome to dancer Latrina Bolger.

Fun Facts:

Grew up in Dallas Texas.

Use to dance everywhere I went as a kid so my mom enrolled me in dance.

Received scholarships to multiple universities for academics, but knew I'd rather be dancing. So I moved to LA straight out of high school.

When I'm not dancing I'm baking cookies.

Lucile Ball is my inspiration because she changed the face of television.

I can't live without my chapstick.

"Live in the moment."

I have no doubt that Chayanne and Nancy have some amazing things in store for all of the fans of Argentina and Mexico....and Latrina's going to be there bringing it on! 

As far as I know Latrina Bolger will be joined by Tyrell "Trellz" Washington, Brandon "B-Love" Barton......and......the rest we're still trying to find out. But we're keeping our eyes open.

In the mean time, please enjoy this incredible video clip of Latrina. I wonder if Nancy's going to have her do aerial work on NHI!

Tyrell "Trellz" Washington, Latrina Bolger

Triple Threat Comes To Chayanne's NHI Tour, Welcome Tyrell "Trellz" Washington

Thanks to Bariloche's amazing post yesterday, we know that Chayanne is taking his "killer tour" "No Hay Imposibles" back out on the road to shake things up in Mexico and Argentina.....but Chayanne along with long-time friend and choreographer Nancy O'Meara are also shaking things up with the dancers yet again!

We knew through the smoke signals on Twitter that Nancy O'Meara was auditioning dancers for Chayanne (That's how we first got wind that there was going to be more Papi Chulo goodness going around!)

Today Chayanne tweeted to Nancy about the dancers!

So if you don't know  Tyrell "Trellz" Johnson, amazing member of the "L.A.B." along with the famous Brandon "BLove" Barton, let Pandora's Caja have the pleasure of introducing you. Why is he a triple threat? I knew he could sing, I even knew he could rap....but the dancing...WHO KNEW!

Trellz.......I hope you know what you're in for.....once you're part of the Chayanne fan family....you're family for life!

So dear friends, we shall see who else will be Dancing with Chayanne in September and October!

~Peace
