Oh yeah that’s right, Latin American Idol! My friends Marcela and Tato work in production for the show so last night they took me to a taping that will air tonight. If you have a satellite that picks up channel 9 in Buenos Aires you can tune in and see me in the second row behind the judges going crazy with the rest of the kids who ditched school. Despite the screaming teens, I had an awesome time. I had the chance to individually meet all the judges (John Secada, Oscar Mediavilla and Mimi) and all the 8 final participants. Two of the girls participating even sang a song for me in their dressing room… very impressive! I couldn’t take a lot of pictures or any video because of the show regulations but I was able to get a few shots after the show in the judges chairs and even one picture with John Secada himself… Yes!!!
My favorite singer was Ruben by far. He got the crowd pumped and seemed to be the sure fire winner. My favorite overall contestant however, was Sara.
Tourist2townie.com Exclusive: I actually think I saw the two of them (Ruben and Sara) holding hands backstage. That bastard! I might have to add “take singing lessons” to my To Do List.
