If Miguel Bose want's to wipe away the stinch left behind by the dud that was "nena", I suggest releasing a 2nd single to his new greatest hits album, PAPITO, pronto! While the obvious choice is "si tu no vuelves" with Shakira, I suggest "morena mia"--a collaboration with current it girl, Julieta Venegas.
It's one of the rare re-recording that surpassed the original. It's funky, it's cool, and very catchy. Julieta really did a great job. She brought a lot of attitude to the track. I love the "hip hop" aesthetic.
Here's the old video with this new version of the song:

Hey, louie! Man! I haven't written in a while!
I'm not sure if you know already, but actually the second single IS Morenamia. I haven't see a video yet. I saw Julieta in concert in April and she was great. :)

That's awesome. I hope they make a really cool video in which they spend more than the $50 they used to make "nena".
I am surprised though, that Bose didn't choose a follow-up single with a more famous artist like Shakira, Ricky Martin, Juanes or Alejandro Sanz. I wonder if they did not want to take time out of their schedules to shoot a video, make a couple of promotional appearences/tv. shows etc.?

Julieta is very famous in the Latin market. She sells pretty well in all Latin America and Spain. I don't think Bose is trying any crossover at this time of his life. His main market is Latin America and Spain. Actually he's releasing his album in Italy too. He was popular there years ago. He's had albums released all in Italian.

But let's be honest, she's miles aways from a Shakira or Juanes. And while I respect the fact that Bose has been a strong presence in the spanish scene for a few decades now, why do you think he released an album full of "superstar" appearances? The man just isn't selling the way he used to. I'm just keeping it real...  |

I finally heard this on the radio. It seems like none of the singles from PAPITO have really taken off in the US. I'm still confused why the label didn't choose to release the singles with more profile artists like Shakira, Ricky Martin, or Alejandro Sanz. |

I'm still confused why the label didn't choose to release the singles with more profile artists like Shakira, Ricky Martin, or Alejandro Sanz. Paulina Rubio and Julieta are very big in Latin America and Spain both. I guess you mean artist like Shakira and Ricky that are recognized in the anglo market? The duet with Shakira is already very popular in Italy as well as the album. I was surprised when the pop latin radio here in San Antonio Texas played the Shakira duet instead of Julieta's. Maybe they decided to not release the Julieta single as a duet in America... i don't know. The duet with Alejandro is cool, but not commercial at all. The duet with Ricky Martin, I don't like it much. It's hard to recognize who is singing, Ricky or Miguel. Their voices sound too similar in this song. Maybe the duet with Shakira finally becomes the smash hit they were waiting for. The album already fortunately is a huge success. The tour in Spain is also huge these days. |

And regarding PAPITO, I guess I have to take your word that it's a HUGE success worldwide, but it's a little hard to believe. In the US, it's hardly made a beep. |

I don't think worldwide, but Latin America and Spain yes. The U.S.A. has never been a big market for him. Under that assumption, he's had more impact this time than before. Of course, still little compared to other Latin stars in the U.S.A.

They're starting to promote this one in Italy now. I've heard it sometimes on the radio here in San Antonio. I never saw a video for this song and I don't there's one actually. Miguel's new video is for another song of the album. It's the duet with his niece, Bimba. I guess that will be the single in Spain (???).
Kind of low-budget video like the one with Paulina. With so much money Bose must be making with such huge tour in Spain in the last months and now about to come to Latin America, I don't know why they're not spending a bit more on videos. Maybe lack of time since he's been touring and touring....

PAPITO just scored a nomination for Best Latin Pop Album at the Gringo Grammy's. Bose is going up against Jorge Drexler, Jennifer Pena (WTF?), and Grammy-darling Alejandro Sanz. Sanz is definitely Bose's biggest competition, but I think PAPITO has a good chance of winning. Though I don't understand how it can be nominated if it's an album full of covers. ???
Can someone explain... |

I didn't know covers wouldn't let you get nominated. I would understand if it's a greatest hits album of just old songs put together, but for example Papito is, like you said, covers of his own songs, rerecorded, reworked and in some cases with very different arrangements. Are you sure about that rule? Remember Natalie Cole won album of the year and many other awards years ago and the album was all of covers of her dad's songs.
Papito lost its Latin Grammy to Juan Luis Guerra's album. Let's see what happens here. Juan Luis Guerra is nominated in a different category. Yes, Sanz is a tough competition especially knowing that the latin industry in the U.S. has heard more of Sanz than of Bose in recent years.
I saw Miguel live in concert in October in Monterrey, Mexico. He was great!!

I saw Miguel live in concert in October in Monterrey, Mexico. He was great!! No, I'm not sure. That's why I asked. The American Grammy's have funky rules. I also don't understand why Christina Aguilera is nominated for "candyman" this year when her album came out and was nominated the previous year. Nelly Furtado is also nominated for material that came out almost two years ago. WTF? I forgot that Luis Miguel is also nominated in this category for his "Christmas album". The academy also loves him. I say it's between Bose, Sanz, and Luis Miguel. Jorge Drexler & Jennifer Pena don't stand a chance!  When did you see Bose in concert? Do you think he'll tour the US in support of PAPITO? I would like to see him live. The new single with Bimbo (that name is hilarious!!) is really growing on me. |

Yeah... with Luis Miguel there, I don't know how things will go. I'm not a fan of Luis Miguel, but he's so popular so that should help him out regardless on how good his album was. Luis Miguel has been around for so many years that of course I've liked some of his songs here and there during all these decades, but in general his music is not interesting enough to me. It's too plain, not daring. I like artists that are more unique, more extravagant, more out there. I do accept he has a good voice. Enough of Luis Miguel.
I saw Miguel Bose in Monterrey on Friday October 19. A friend of mine lives in Monterrey so I took the opportunity to visit him too. The flight from San Antonio to Monterrey is less than 1 hour. So fast. I left work, flew over there, my friend picked me up from the airport and took me directly to the concert. It was a lot of fun! He was awesome!
Yeah, I like also the song with his niece Bimba Bose. I think you thought her name was Bimbo, right? :)
Yeah, he's coming to the U.S. next year. So far, only a show in Miami which is already on ticketmaster. I would love it if he comes to Texas. The only problem is that the Latin market here in the U.S.A. has never been big big for artists like Bose or Ana Torroja. They do better in Spain, Mexico and other Latin American countries.
C ya!
