[How Do You Do?]

Any guesses on who is going to get these awards? I didn't fall the Latin charts too closely this year so I am not sure what was the #1 song.

As for performers:
Jennifer Lopez and Paulina Rubio both have current albums out so I am guessing they will perform. Any other ideas?

[tortuga]

They have way too many unnecessary categories. Like "Best Latin Pop Album by A New Artist".

Its disturbing that the rock/alternative genre only has one category.

Yuridia is nominated twice in the same category. ???

Who are they? That's y they're not there...Are they from Mexico or something?

[galvanize]

Shakira & Julieta to win all!

[gooddevil]

I don't care about the others I just wish Thalia to win in the category "Latin Dance Club Play Track Of The Year" because the remix of Un Alma Sentenciada is great !

Yeah, it is. Usually, I don't care for remixes (especially on ballads), but this one is killer! I'm surprised Thalia did not get a couple of more nods. Was her album no eligible?

Oh, and these awards are totally based on SALES & AIRPLAY so that's why it's so CRAPTASTIC!! Artists like Chetes, Aterciopelados, and Zoe (to name a few) aren't nominated because they don't sell as much. It's a sad realilty...

Barba Dominates Billboard Latin Awards

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- The brawny, cowboy hat-sporting Mexican singer Mariano Barba dominated the 2007 Billboard Latin Music Awards on Thursday. In an unusual turn, he took top song of the year - a prize usually given to pop stars like Shakira.

Barba won three awards in the Mexican regional music category and "Hot Latin Song" for his ballad "Aliado del tiempo," or "Ally of Time," also the title of his album.

The awards honor the most popular albums, songs and performers in Latin music as determined by sales and radio airplay data published on Billboard's weekly charts.

Mexican artists did well overall. Teen pop phenomenon RBD took home three awards, including best tour, while fellow Mexican pop singer Paulina Rubio opened the show and picked up two awards for her album, "Ananda." Mexican rockers Mana also won twice.

Colombia's Shakira and Haitian-American rapper and producer Wyclef Jean won best duet for their smash hit, "Hips Don't Lie."

Puerto Rican Toby Love won in both hip-hop and tropical categories, a nod to the popularity of both genres among fans. But in an upset, the most nominated group, Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Rakim y Ken-Y, took home only one of seven nominations, for their song "Down."

Singer, songwriter and actor Miguel Bose received the Billboard Lifetime Achievement award for his roughly 30-year career. Bose has made nearly two dozen albums and starred in numerous films in Europe and Mexico. His latest album, "Papito," is a compilation of his classic songs performed as duets with artists such as Ricky Martin.

Venezuelan singer Ricardo Montaner was also honored for his work with disabled children and those living in poverty across Latin America.

Spanish-language soap star Marlene Favela and singer-actor Carlos Ponce hosted the event in Coral Gables, just south of downtown Miami. NBC subsidiary Telemundo aired the show.

Anais won 2!!
