Latin Grammys Dropped The Ball
I couldn't agree more with Leila Cobo's assessment (Billboard, Sept. 18) of the Latin Grammy Awards.
Something is wrong when you have the dynamic, two-time Grammy nominee Alejandra Guzman just sitting in the audience! Whoever it was—the Latin Recording Academy, CBS
or both—dropped the ball by not taking advantage of her being one of the stars to attend. If she had performed her Grammy-nominated song "Lipstick," it would have gotten more publicity than the appearances of Jessica Simpson and Lindsay Lohan. I'm still puzzled by why they were there. I know, ratings, but it didn't work.
The powers that be must have been aware of Guzman's reputation for risqué performances and were scared, God forbid, she may just have one of those Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunctions.
If the producers want something to improve viewership, interest and ratings, all they have to do is put Guzman onstage. Whenever, wherever she performs, Guzman causes a lot of talk. Isn't this what the Latin Recording Academy wants for their Latin Grammy Awards?
