Hey Guys!,

Happy Wednesday! I hope you all are having a marvelous week. I’m a little exhausted after last night … I went to this Movie Release party For Burlesque (Starring Christina Aguilera and Cher) at Kiss & Fly! I had an AMAZING TIME!!!  For a Tuesday, the ambiance was EXTREMELY ENERGETIC. It’s the current hot spot for celebrity spottings on Tuesday nights!  (Do you know that Mondays and Tuesdays are the preferred nights for stars to party? Well now you do lol). Everyone was dancing everywhere and on everything, from couches to tables -- it was pretty insane. I find their logo very creative as well! 

Behind the DJ booth

I couldn’t stay long because I had a train to catch, but I was lucky enough to hang out behind the DJ booth!  I felt like a Hollywood socialite (hehe)! In addition, I received some advance screening passes for the movie next Monday! I’m looking forward to seeing it, especially since Christina was one of my fave pop stars back in my teenage years along with Britney Spears. But there’s a little dilemma -- I need a date! Since Jess is not so fond of my pop music taste, she doesn’t want to accompany me, any takers?  =/

Oh and thank you Billy Bonds Entertainment  for the invite!

Prince Royce

On Friday November, 12^th Jess and I went to see my new young bachatero crush, Prince Royce at Lehman College, thanks to Mr. Ramirez! (Jessica's Daddy) The immense crowd was screaming/shouting/crying for the artist before he even came out, and when he took the stage forget about it -- it was fanatical! He sang about 10 songs including his hits, "Stand by Me" and "Corazón Sin Cara" (LOVE THAT SONG!). His stage presence reminds me of Romeo from Aventura. He actually performed at the Grammy’s the previous night. Geoffrey Royce Rojas (his real name), was born and raised in the BX to Dominican parents. Prince Royce began singing when he was in elementary school and later began writing poetry. At the age of 15, Prince Royce wrote his first song-- And now at 21, his album went platinum and is on a road to success!! Not to mention how HUGE his following is. This kid definitely has talent and we’re thrilled we had a chance to "steal a scene" with him backstage! (You guys, he has the cutest dimple ::sigh:: ) checkout Jess' blog for more details ;)

Next week Tuesday, November 23rd, Sazon is having their very first ACOUSTIC TUESDAY! Checkout the flyer Jess created! 

It should be a lovely evening so come through its FREE ! Oh also check out her bio – once again the image was created by Ms. Ramirez and written by me!

Whats up!

We went to the Prince Royce concert this past Friday! (I know a lot of young ladies are hating...sorry lol)  The concert at the Lehman Center of Performing Arts was Royce's debut concert in the United States...I mean where better to kick it off then in his hometown, the Bronx?!  Friday night was the first of two concerts held at the center, both of which were completely sold out (BIG s/o to my Dad for getting us 4 tickets!). 

Prince Royce performing

Prince Royce is doing big things since his self-titled debut launched in March.  He was nominated for Best Contemporary Tropical Album at the Latin Grammys (you might have seen him performing his catchy bilingual pop-tinged bachata version of "Stand By Me" with the song's author, R&B legend, Ben E. King. this past Thursday) and has been number one on Billboard's Tropical Album charts.  His single, "Corazón Sin Cara" is hovering amid the top spots of the Tropical/Latin Song charts as well.

So cute! Love his dimples!

Prince Royce, born Geoffrey Royce Rojas was born and raised in the Bronx to Dominican parents. His experience as a performer started in grade school where he starred in various talent shows and plays. He started his career, last year, when he signed on with Top Shop Music Label, by renowned producer Sergio George (who won this year's Producer of the Year at the Latin Grammys and produced for artists like Marc Anthony and Luis Enrique), who only listened to just 3 songs off his demo!

He had the crowd going crazy!

The concert was crazy packed! There were tons of young females...and some males too lol...screaming their hearts out for Royce.  We spent the entire concert on our feet, because everyone was standing on their seats to see Royce perform.  The performance was a little over 90 minutes long and featured various songs from his self-titled debut. I only know his popular singles, "Corazón Sin Cara" and "Stand by Me," but this overall performance was enjoyable. Afterwards, Prince Royce had a special meet-n-greet with his fans that purchased VIP tickets...not only did they meet Royce, but they received a Prince Royce teddy bear, autographed CD and a Prince Royce tote bag.  Samantha and I had the opportunity to meet Prince Royce (thanks to my dad!), before all the mayhem broke lose with the VIP fans.  He even did a nice a little drop for us!

In the middle of Saturday night's performance I heard that his record label surprised Royce with a Platinum Album Award for sales exceeding 100 thousand units in the United States and Puerto Rico, as certified by the Recording Industry Association of Americas.  Pretty impressive!

All in all I had a great time with my linesisters at the concert! Can't wait to see what this week has in-store for Samantha and I!!
