Of course Chayanne is in there! What kind of Latin music awards would the Premios be if Chayanne were not among the nominees. Our job fans is to vote Chayanne from the place of a nominee, to the winner.

Chayanne has been nominated in the Pop category for "Male Artist of The Year". Chayanne shares this honorwith such heavy hitters as Carlos Baute, Enrique Iglesias, and Ricky Martin. All of the nominees are amazing, but Chayanne's star shines the brightest.

The beauty of the the "Premios Lo Nuestro" awards is that you, yes YOU! WE! The fans get to cast our votes! We get to have a voice in who we feel should be the winner....and apparently, if you're here reading this blog you must feel the way that I do that Chayanne should win in all three of his categories.

Don't get it twisted, I have great love for many of the other artists that have been nominated for these same categories, take Alejandro Sanz...you know I love him! (Desde Cuando...*sigh*), but to me, they all pale in comparison to what Chayanne brings to the Latin music party.

So how do you vote? First of all you must be a registered user of the Univision website. Don't worry registration is free. I believe there is also an option to register in English for you language challenged people such as myself. Once you have registered, you will then be free to vote!

Latin Grammy Nominations..Somethings Missing...Chayanne

 

Recently the Latin Grammy Recording Academy released the names of the nominees for the 11th Annual Latin Grammy Awards....but much to my chagrin and all of Chayanne's fans, there was a name that was missing....you guessed it, Chayanne! Honestly, I just don't get it...he's got a smokin' hot CD, "No Hay Imposible,  and a tour that Billboard says is one of the most successful of the summer and NADA! Pardon my frustration, but to me it just doesn't compute.
