who is this Anamor!?

[Carlitoz]

Weeks ago somewhere (maybe Billboard) there was an ad for this woman. The pictures looked to me pretty tacky/cheesy and the ad has all this great comments. I was like whatever... who is this woman dressed and looking somewhere between a transvestite and a Latin Amerian vedette... like the tall Argentinian ones with big boobs, etc. From the face, to the hair to those clothes, everything looked so tacky to me. I mean, yes, great body, but those clothes and the face just kill the whole thing. And nothing against transvestites ah. Some of them are awesome and can be very over-the-top funny, some looking like men and some other ones like woman and their shows can be a lot of fun. SO nothing against them. I'm just using them to find a way of describing this woman.

Anyway... I read yesterday one of the latest issues of Billboard and who is on the advertising cover?? This woman with things like "la nueva reina del pop", etc. I was like 'you must be kidding!' 'what's going on here?' 'is this woman really famous? how come I've never heard her music?'

Do you know who she is? What type of music she sings? I'm guessing a type of cheesy/"sexy" merengue or something like that. I'm in my office so I cannot go now to itunes or youtube.

Am I so disconnected lately from latin radio that I have no clue who she is???

Is this the ad? I don't know if she's a transvestite. I thought for a long time that Ivy Queen was a transvestie and I was wrong.

She really sounds like a man though!

Yep, a very similar one and same pic only that on the cover of Billboard magazine. Ha, ha, no, I don't think she's a transvestite, but the face sure makes her look like one. That body for sure is pretty woman like :)

Whatever marketing campaign she has is focusing on saying she's the new queen of pop. Give me a break, you're just starting and you're coming out with that..... please. Leave that to Shakira, Paulina o Thalia for example. Anamor..... I don't think so. At least have first some 3 or 4 huge singles to start talking about that.

I was wondering the same thing! I saw a similar ad too and I had no idea who she was.

And good Lord, that song really does sound like it has a male vocalist. At first I was expecting that Anamor would come in, but that was her the whole time. I found this video because I wanted to hear her speaking voice (http://youtube.com/watch?v=wGrAWP6sObs) and she speaks like a deep-voiced woman, but that singing voice... yikes.
