Upon the release of Ingrid Belancourt, Juanes placed a statement on his website ( In case you didn’t know who Ingrid is, she ran for President a couple years back in Colombia but was kidnapped before the election up until a couple days ago…) about the whole situation
Ingrid! Welcome home, here we are all your friends.
We are all your brothers, your neighbors, your Colombia.
Your rescue is the antecedent of great changes for all our days to come. May God bless your freedom and that of all the kidnapped.
Colombian hottie, Juanes was offering orgasmic vibrations at a performance in San Antonio on Saturday.
Between his undeniable musical talent and socially conscience messages of peace, Juanes is proving that there is more to la musica than just landing the #1 spot on the charts.
Despite recent rumors claiming an intense rivalry between Colombian stars, Juanes and Shakira we are glad to report that the chismes are false.
Juanes released a statement to the media denying any beef with the sexy singer.
He stated,
“Valoro mucho el camino de los artistas colombianos y el camino de nuestra música. En eso, ella [Shakira] y yo venimos del mismo lugar. Aunque tengamos una concepción diferente de la música. Ambas son válidas. Enfrentamiento [con Shakira] no hay ninguno y nunca lo habrá.”
“I value the artistic path of Colombian artists and the path of our music. Saying that, [Shakira] and I come from the same place. Although we have different concepts of music, they are both valid expressions. A confrontation with [Shakira] does not exist and it never will.”
These stars may have different musical styles, but they have a lot in common. They are both very politically and socially active in their native country and in Latin America.
Forget the rivalry, these two should secretly hook up! I promote unity.
Juanes seems to have everything going for him. The famous Colombian singer has been nominated for four Billboard Latin Music Awards and is kicking off his worldwide tour tonight in Madison Square Garden.
But with all of this fame and success, the talented star admits that life can get pretty lonely.
He states to The Daily News,
“It’s very weird because, in a matter of minutes, you go from being the center of the world — from playing for 15,000 people — to being on your own in your room. You feel completely lonely.”
I believe this is called the price of fame. Or perhaps, his scary facial expressions just scare people away.
Sorry Juanes, you get no pity from my end. Why can’t celebrities simply appreciate what they have?
Colombian singer, Juanes knows what he stands for. According to Es Mas, the singer has rejected his participation in the Free Trade Convention being hosted by his native country.
The treaty, known as the FTA or TLC, was signed by the United States and Colombia in 2006. The agreement promotes positive structural change, but many protesters believe that it has created an economic imbalance.
Juanes has expressed his disapproval through his publicist,
“No está dentro de los planes de Juanes, ni (dentro) de sus filosofías preferidas.”
“[This] is not part of Juanes agenda, nor part of his philosophical [or political] views.”
We love it when celebrities stand for something good.
Juanes breeds success like a true professional. The popular musician still holds the #1 spot in the Latin Billboard, and now plans to start-up his world tour in Madison Square Garden on March 6th.
“La Vida World Tour 2008″ will consist of 35 concerts in the U.S. alone. After selling over 1 million copies of his latest album, “La Vida Es … Un Ratico,” I am sure Juanes will rock out like a pro.
