It sounds like something that could fit into her "Limon Y Sal" album. I like it but I hope the new material for her next studio album doesn't sound like this. I heard she is going back to playing the piano.
This is suppose to be set list:
1.limon y sal
2.seria feliz
3.el presente
4.algo esta cambiando
5.eres para mi *con la mala rodriguez
6.esta vez *con el cuarteto americano de cuerdas
7.algun dia *con gustavo santaolalla
8.mirame bien
9.lento
10. de mis pasos *con juan carlos son de porter
11. andar conmigo
12. ilusion *con marissa montes
13. como se
13. mira la vida
14. me voy
Some new songs and with a lot of her recent stuff.
No "Hoy No Quiero" or "Me Van A Matar (Amores Perros)". >:(

The performance will air on MTV LA, MTV Tr3s y MTV España on June 5th. I don't think they have announced the release dates of the CD and DVD.

5.eres para mi *con la mala rodriguez Some new songs and with a lot of her recent stuff. No "oleada" or "de que me sirve"???? Those are my two favorite Julieta songs! This worries me...  Also, no Anita Tojiux (sp?) on "eres para mi"??? What is Julieta thinking? Nothing against La Mala Rodriguez, she's good. But Anita is the one who gave that song it's signature--otherwise it would have been little more than Julieta's lame attempt at hip-hop. Anita gave the song a je ne se quai. This is an outrage!!!! And finally, no Coti? This truly surprises me? He has been indispensable in helping her attain such a huge popularity in recent years. Has their relationship gone bust? Mmmmmm..... |

Oleada is one of my favorite ones too! I identify with those lyrics!
I hope Mala did a good job. I've heard only one Mala song and didn't really get into her rapping style.

I like Coti and Anita but I'm glad Julieta invited new people to perform these songs with. Otherwise, these Unplugged performances would have no spark to them. It would be like listening to the song on the CD or a repetition of her other live performances out there.
A lot of the Julieta fans that have followed her career since the beginning are happy Coti was not invited. They blame him for turning her into pop. LOL, spiteful.

If they want to blame someone, they should look directly to Julieta. It's not like Coti put a gun to her head and said, "You are going to record these songs, and they are going to sound this way whether you like it or not!"
Julieta is smart and at the end of the day she realized that if people were not buying her music, it didn't matter if she recorded the best thing since Mozart. I happen to like the majority of her discography, with a slight preference over her Coti-related work. Pop is not synonomous of bad quality.
When are people going to realize this? |

Is it me, or is this song not really blowing up on Latin radio? It's been officially on radio for a few weeks and I rarely here it. Especially when compared to "me voy" which simply exploded hear in the US.
I wonder what's going on. The song is catchy enough. I for one am starting to like it more and more... |

I'm really liking this one now. The first time I heard it, I was not too much into it. Now I play it a lot in my car. About the radio... I don't know, Louie. I don't listen to radio too much. I usually have an idea checking the airplay charts.

MTV TRES will air the Julieta Venegas MTV UNPLUGGED special in its entirety tomorrow, June 5, at 8:00 p.m. I'm off so hopefully I'll have a chance to catch. I'm anxious to see how the collab with La Mala Rodriguez will turn out! |

I'll have to wait until it shows up on YouTube. I only have the regular MTV which I never watch.......
Hopefully she releases it on cd and dvd.

They showed a Behind the Scenes special after the show. Nacalia LaFourcade lived up to her nickname. She was like "morras, me perdi" when arriving late. Her instruments were really weird too. A saw? LMAO!
Overall, the show was well put together. Julieta did a very good job at giving her classic songs new and interesting sounds. Who the hell was that guy that sang "De Mis Pasos" with her? Weirdo.
La Mala Rodriguez was not bad. She added her own rap to "Eres Para Mi" and it turned out pretty good.

Honestly, I was bored by the entire affair. Julieta's voice has always been good live, but I found the new arrangements dull and uninspired. She seemed bored! The new version of "eres para mi" with La Mala was painful and awful. It appeared La Mala was trying waaaaay too hard to put her own spin on it, and it just did not work for me. The new rap was lame.
I said it before and I'll say it again: it was a mistake not bringing back Anita Tijoux. She is the one who really added energy and flavor to the song.
It probably did not help that the editing seemed off. They cut all the interaction with the audience and Julieta's anecdotes between songs. I guess they wanted to save something for the album/dvd.
Was Natalia playing the xylophone? My brother said it wasnt her but the camera would never really focus on her. |

Julieta has been getting some nice reviews for her UNPLUGGED. The Dallas Morning News gave it a B+, but the critic did say it was a bit on the lenthy side. For me, I think I will simply download the new tracks. I'm just not crazy about the new arrangements for these songs. |

The album debuted at No. 9 on Billboard's Top Latin Albums Chart, which surprised me. I was expecting at least a Top 3 debut. Does anyone remember how well L&S did in its first week.
At least Julieta is having much more success in her native Mexico where the album has been No. 1 for several consecutive weeks. |

Album sales are hitting low this time. I wonder why the 3rd most played Latin song in the USA this week "El Presente" wasn't able to help propel JV's newest album.. In fact, it fell to #11 this week..

Limon y Sal sold like 5,000 copies in its first week here in the U.S. She did better in Mexico of course with the album going Gold in its first week with 50,000 copies. |
