Thalia, Luis Fonsi, Laura Pausini, Sin Bandera, Carin Leon, Gente de Zona, Goyo, and Aymee Nuviola joined forces on stage for the evening’s grand opener, a tribute to person of the year Marco Antonio Solis.

An eclectic medley by Rauw Alejandro followed with his bangers “Lejos del Cielo,” “Mas de Una Vez,” “Desesperados,” and “Punto 40;” Christina Aguilera and Christian Nodal wowed the crowd with their power-vocals in “Cuando Me Dé la Gana;” and Karol G had the entire venue on their feet with her certified club bangers “Gatubela,” “Provenza,” and “Cairo;” to name a few.

In a soulful performance that united two generations of musicians, Carlos Vives, Camilo, Nicole Zignago and Silvana Estrada — who shared the best new artist win with Ángela Álvarez — gave the audience a new, more instrumental version of “Baloncito Viejo” that marked Vives’ and Camilo’s first-ever collaboration.

7 Things You Didn’t See on TV at the 2022 Latin Grammys

While artists graced the red carpet, gave memorable speeches, and took center stage during the televised 2022 Latin Grammys on Thursday night (Nov. 17) via Univision, here’s what Billboard observed behind the scenes.

Check out the things you didn’t see on TV below:

1. A heartfelt moment. Yahritza y Su Esencia, the youngest-nominated best new artist at 15, and Angela Alvarez, the oldest best new artist nominee at 95, interchanged hugs and kisses on the red carpet. Later in the night, Alvarez and Mexican singer-songwriter Silvana Estrada tied for the coveted best new artist award.

2. Also on the carpet, Estrada expressed that one of her best moments of 2022 so far was when Rosalia DM’ed her on Instagram. “I did a poem and tagged her on my stories, and a couple of weeks later, she responded. I totally fangirled! Now I imagine us being the best of friends,” she laughed.

3. Meanwhile, we asked Nicki Nicole to describe the ultimate girl group if she were to be in one with two of her colleagues. “It would have to be Emilia Mernes because she’s a great dancer, and going to think very big here, but I would love it to be Karol G. She’s amazing!”

4. At the media center, best new artist nominee Angela Alvarez crooned the crowd with her powerhouse vocals. “I never took singing lessons. This is my natural voice,” she said to the press. Estrada, who said backstage that she dedicates the award to her mom and women everywhere, felt honored to share the best new artist award with Alvarez. “She reminds me a lot of my mother, who abandoned so many things to become a mom. And this award is a call to hope that there are no limits.”

5. The night’s big winner, Jorge Drexler, expressed backstage how he’s a big admirer of Bad Bunny’s work and even joked about wanting to do a reggaeton album himself. “I like it a lot,” he said of the genre. “We are a continent that has a wide musical record.”

6. Rauw Alejandro was rooting for his girlfriend Rosalia from afar while she talked to the press at the media center. The Spanish singer, who nabbed the coveted album of the year for Motomami, expressed how important it is for her to have the support of her loved ones.

7. The media backstage loudly chanted and sang to Los Bukis‘ “Tu Carcel” as we watched their special closing performance from the media center.

The Latin Grammy Awards — which “promise to honor the legacy, celebrate the present and embrace the future of Latin music, with deliberate consciousness, paying-it-forward to the next generations of music creators,” according to a press statement — were held Nov. 17 at the Michelob Ultra Arena at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, and aired live on Univision.

Romeo Santos Drinks His Sorrows Away During 2022 Latin Grammys Performance

Romeo Santos was as vulnerable as ever during his 2022 Latin Grammys performance where he took the stage, with bottle in hand, to perform “Bebo.”

The bachata anthem is a sorrowful and emotional heartbreak track. Santos was playing into the song, by drinking his sorrows away onstage. “I know I’m a bit drunk but a drunk person always tells the truth,” he said in the middle of his performance. Of course, pretending to be drunk was part of his performance but the bachatero proved to be a great actor and stuck to the role to the very end when he fell onstage.

The track is part of art of the “King of Bachata’s” newest album Fórmula, Vol. 3, which was released in September and is home to 21 tracks. The new set flaunts the ever-experimental Santos taps into hip-hop, trap, tango, merengue and regional Mexican without losing touch of his bachata essence.

Sebastian Yatra & John Legend Debut ‘Tacones Rojos’ Live at 2022 Latin Grammys

Eight months after unleashing their first-ever collaboration, Sebastian Yatra and John Legend debuted the track live for the first time at the 2022 Latin Grammys on Thursday night (Nov. 17).

Accompanied by 10 female dancers dressed in long blazers and top hats, and with a full-on cabaret stage setting, Yatra and Legend’s bromance oozed as they sang the feel-good Spanglish bop live. Both artists not only flaunted their vocal chemistry on stage but also rocked matching bow ties.

Yatra and Legend performed the track shortly after Yatra won best vocal pop album for Dharma.

“John is miraculously talented and musically he can go anywhere. He’s someone I admire, and vocal-wise, it’s very intriguing to see how he’s going to sound in a song like this because of his vocal capacity,” Yatra previously told Billboard.

Legend wrote the English lyrics to the song, which Yatra originally co-wrote with Juan Jo, Lofty, Manuel Lara, and Pablo.

“When you have a song you love so much, you want to give it to someone who has a stroke of genius like John has, and who will keep the essence instead of just a translation,” adds Yatra.

Karol G Performs Club-Ready ‘Cairo’ & More at 2022 Latin Grammys

Karol G brought her star power to the 2022 Latin Grammys. The Colombian star delivered a standout performance, which had the entire crowd on their toes for nearly the entirety of her set.

Karol kicked off her five-minute-plus set singing the reggaeton anthem “Gatubela” surrounded by her fierce dancers who adored her equally fierce leader. She then lit-up the crowd with her Afrobeat-powered “Provenza,” which is up for both record and song of the year. With this track, she became the first woman to replace herself at No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart in May when it traded places with “Mamiii,” with Becky G.

Karol, who won best new artist at the Latin Grammys in 2018, ended her performance with a high-energy rendition of her latest single “Cairo” with her go-to producer Ovy on the Drums taking the stage with her for the song, released Nov. 13.

Jesse Collins on 2022 American Music Awards, His ‘Hero’ Dick Clark & Being Today’s Busiest Awards Show Producer

It’s fitting that Jesse Collins is showrunner of the 50th iteration of the American Music Awards – which is set to air live from the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live in Los Angeles this Sunday, because he just may be the most in-demand producer of music awards shows, and music on television in general, since Dick Clark, who created the AMAs in 1973.

His 2022 credits as executive producer include the Super Bowl halftime show starring a bevy of hip-hop stars (for which he won his first Emmy Award), the Grammys (for which he was Emmy-nominated), the BET Awards and the BET Hip-Hop Awards. And right after the AMAs is the Soul Train Awards, followed in early 2023 by the Golden Globes, the Grammys and the Super Bowl halftime show starring Rihanna.

Just days before the AMAs, Collins was feeling pretty confident. He has a strong host in Wayne Brady, a broadly popular Icon Award recipient in Lionel Richie, and a show that has a little something for everybody. The show will have tributes to Richie and Olivia Newton-John — both past AMAs hosts and artists whose AMAs totals are in double digits — as well as performances by new stars Dove Cameron and GloRilla. The Richie tribute is centered on a medley of his songs performed by Stevie Wonder, 72, and Charlie Puth, 30. That’s the kind of range the AMAs look for.

Looking at your bookings, you seem to have something for everybody.

Listen, it’s the American Music Awards. Like the nation, this is supposed to be the melting pot of music where everybody comes together under one tent and celebrates excellence in all genres. We just try to do our best to give you the full tapestry of music. You want to get your new stars. You want to get your up-and-comers. You want to get your big stars like P!nk and Carrie Underwood. You just want to make sure that everybody’s getting a little piece of everything, and that to me is what the AMAs are all about.

That was always Dick Clark’s philosophy.

Let’s say you’re not that familiar with what the new pop or R&B or hip-hop or country acts are. You can watch the AMAs and you can learn about them. You can find out who is going to be your next big star. So maybe you walk in saying, “I’m not really a fan of a certain genre,” but then you see an artist in that genre and suddenly you’re a fan.

Since this is the 50th AMAs, you’re going to have a recurring element where artists speak to their musical inspirations. What form will that take?

We’re trying to spread it out throughout the show and make it organic. So it could be in presenter copy or our host Wayne [Brady]. Perhaps winners will do it. There are some ways that we’re doing it musically. We’re just trying to spread it out throughout the show so you get that story in different incarnations.

How did you decide on Wayne Brady as a host?

I [have] worked with Wayne a lot over the years. He’s just one of the most versatile people I know. First of all, he’s an amazing host, but then he also is an incredible singer, rapper, dancer, improv performer. He’s incredibly funny, so when you’re doing a show like this you want to get a host that has so many skill sets that no matter what you throw at him, he can succeed.

How did you decide on Lionel as your Icon Award recipient?

Lionel has a long history with the AMAs. He has hosted, he’s performed, he’s won [18] awards [counting this one]. That’s been in the works for a long time. I have to credit Mark Shimmel, one of our producers, who has a long relationship with Lionel. [Mark has] been on the AMAs with Larry [Klein] for many years. Last year we knew that we wanted for the 50th show to honor Lionel Richie.

Dick Clark died in 2012, which was the same year you founded your company [Jesse Collins Entertainment]. Did you ever meet him?

No, I never met him. I just grew up watching him on TV. Obviously, I was a big fan of everything that he created. Unfortunately, I never got to meet him.

Was he a particular role model or inspiration?

Listen, I grew up watching American Bandstand and Soul Train – so both him and [Soul Train creator] Don Cornelius were heroes of mine. So, to find myself in this awards show business is incredible. I never thought I’d be producing this show.

Has [longtime dick clark productions executive] Larry [Klein] filled you in on Dick Clark stories?

Larry has been a great mentor throughout this whole process, even before I got on this show. Larry is the gold standard of variety producers. He has great stories. All the things he’s been through with this show, it’s pretty incredible.

Do you ever say “What would Dick do?” or “What would he think of what we’re doing to his baby?”

Larry sometimes will say, “If Dick was here, this is what he would want this show to be. This is what he would do in this moment.” And Barry Adelman as well. He’s one of our producers. He was with Dick for many years and knew Dick from the AMAs, the Globes and all the shows. Those guys definitely make sure that the spirit of Dick Clark lives on.

This is the second AMAs you’ve worked on. You’ve also been on the Grammy team for a number of years. Back in the day, it wouldn’t have been possible to work on both shows. They were highly competitive with each other.

Fortunately, the shows are not on the same day, so people don’t have to choose. The AMAs and the Grammys are both awards shows, but their histories are different, their legacies are different and today the shows are different – and I think that helps each one. They have different points-of-view, definitely different personalities. It’s like picking between your kids.

One reason the shows were so competitive back then is they often aired just a month apart – sometimes just two weeks apart. Now, they’re a few months apart.

When Pierre [Cossette, longtime executive producer of the Grammys] and Dick were going back-and-forth about these shows, music had a longer run. You had the one song that was the song that an artist sang on TV and that performance was coveted. Now, music cycles are much faster. Music comes out at a higher frequency. So, someone can come on the AMAs and have an unbelievable performance and then go on the Grammys and do something completely different and shock the world again. I think that’s part of the reason that the attitudes have changed between the shows.

Last year’s AMAs was the most social telecast of 2021 with 46.5 million interactions. What do you attribute that to?

First of all, our host [last year], Cardi B, is one of the most electrifying people on social media. She really knows how to ignite that base. Between that and BTS and all of the other performances, and the way we designed the show, we were really able to take advantage of what social media can do for you in an awards show environment.  

With all the shows you work on, you must have an amazing team supporting you in your company.

Dionne Harmon is not only president of the company, she’s right here leading the charge on the AMAs. The show would definitely not come together without her. Jeannae Rouzan-Clay is a great producer as well. Between the three of us, it allows us to really try to make the best show possible. [All three are credited as executive producers on the AMAs, as is Larry Klein. In addition, Collins is showrunner.]

Have you announced all of the performers?

We have not announced them all. We still have a couple of surprises.

Most of the acts that you have announced fall into the broad genres that were always the backbone of the show – pop/rock, soul/R&B and country. Now, in addition, you also have hip-hop (GloRilla and Lil Baby) and Latin (Anitta). So, I think Dick is up there looking down and saying ‘you’re keeping it going.’

I hope so. With all of those genres that you mentioned, that music can be heard anywhere in America today. So, the show is living up to the title that he gave it.

This conversation has been lightly edited for brevity and clarity.

Rosalía Slays 2022 Latin Grammys Stage Singing ‘Despechá’ & More

Rosalía meant business at the Latin Grammys blessing fans with a medley that included “Hentai,” “La Fama” and “Despechá.” “Hentai” is up for song of the year, and “La Fama” with The Weeknd is up for record of the year.

The Spaniard, who initially wore an oversized red coat and statement glasses, kicked off her set playing the piano and performing the powerful “Hentai.” She then took off her coat to unveil an all black latex bodysuit to perform her bachata “La Fama” in front of a malleable white canvas. Then, she got everyone on their feet — including Marco Antonio Solís, Christian Nodal and Rauw Alejandro who were all front row — with her infectious mambo “Despechá.” She even shared a special dance with her boyfriend Alejandro who, as her number one fan, cheered her on.

Rosalía is this year’s most-nominated female artist. Besides song and record of the year, she’s also up for album of the year with Motomami.

Bad Bunny leads this year’s list of nominees with 10 nods. Mexican songwriter and producer Edgar Barrera followed closely with nine nominations. Other top nominees include Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro with eight; and Christina Aguilera, Jorge Drexler and Tainy with seven.

The Latin Grammy Awards — which “promise to honor the legacy, celebrate the present and embrace the future of Latin music, with deliberate consciousness, paying-it-forward to the next generations of music creators,” according to a press statement — were held Nov. 17 at the Michelob Ultra Arena at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, and aired live on Univision.

A Grandma & A 25-Year-Old Tie for Best New Artist at 2022 Latin Grammys

Angela Alvarez is 95 years old. Silvana Estrada is 25 years old.

Both do acoustic-leaning music that’s bound to the traditions of their respective home countries: Cuba for Alvarez, Mexico for Estrada. On Thursday night (Nov. 18), the two met on the stage of the 2022 Latin Grammys, tying to win for best new artist.

Estrada, who has been lauded as one of the bright new voices of Latin music, was a big favorite to win the award. As for Alvarez, the evening was an emotional conclusion in her very unlikely quest for not only a Latin Grammy, but one in the best new artist category at age 95.

Voters’ vacillation between a long career ahead and the thrill of honoring a career found late in life was evident in the voting results.

“I didn’t prepare a speech,” said a tearful Estrada, who grew up with luthier parents and writes exquisite songs. “But as a woman, this award was already ours, especially with this woman by my side. It’s important to represent for the new generations, that they know it’s worthwhile to fight.”

Estrada, the first Latin artist signed to indie Glassnote Records, ended her speech with a thank you to her parents, “For teaching me that music is worthwhile and that one has to live life with happiness.”

Alvarez was not tearful when she gave her prepared speech. With eyes and voice clear, she methodically thanked a long list of people, including actor and director Andy García, for taking her to this moment.

She ended by specifically thanking her grandson, standing beside her.

“He was the one who helped me get here,” she said (her grandson was the person who encouraged Alvarez, at 95, to record her music). “And I want to dedicate this award to God, and to my beloved Cuba, which I will never forget. And to those who have yet to make their dreams come true, know that although life is hard, there’s always a way out and with faith and love everything can be achieved. I promise you, it’s never too late.”

The audience gave both a standing ovation.

Nicky Jam Performs ‘El Perdón’ Alongside Scholarship Recipients at 2022 Latin Grammys

Nicky Jam is lending a hand to the new generation of musicians.

The superstar sang his hit “El Perdón” alongside Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation scholarship recipients Xavier Cintrón, Valentina García, Nicolle Horbath and Sergio de Miguel Jorgequera — who are all performing for the first time at a Latin Grammys ceremony.

“Those that know my story know that music saved my life and from many things. And if it wasn’t for music, I probably wouldn’t be here tonight sharing with you all,” the chart-topping artist said before announcing the creation of a new scholarship and thanking the Latin Recording Academy for letting him be part of this special moment. “I want to thank Latin Grammys for letting me be part of this project and donate this scholarship for young people. I’m so excited, the scholarship is called Nicky Jam and I’m helping these new artists to do great things and be great global artists. God bless you all.”

Latin Grammys 2022: Jorge Drexler & Bad Bunny Lead Early Winners (Updating)

It was a battle of icons and superstars, with Bad Bunny and veteran singer/songwriter Jorge Drexler leading the list of winners in the pre-Latin Grammys telecast Thursday (Nov. 17) in Las Vegas.

Drexler, the beloved Uruguayan singer/songwriter known for his complex, often cerebral fare, led the fray with four wins, for best pop song (“La Guerrilla de la Concordia”), best alternative song (“El día que Estrenaste el Mundo”), best singer/songwriter album (for Tinta y Tiempo) and best Portuguese language song (alongside Marisa Monte in “Vento Sardo”). A fifth Latin Grammy went to arranger Fernando Velazquez for best arrangement in Drexler’s “El plan maestro.”

Bad Bunny also took home four awards, for Best urban fusion performance and Best urban song with “Titi Me Preguntó”; best reggaetón performance with “Lo siento BB:/” alongside Tainy and Julieta Venegas; and best rap/hip-hop song with “De Museo.”

Another iconic Latin star, Argentina’s Fito Páez, won three awards, while Rosalía took home Best alternative album and Best engineered album for her Motomami.

“If I’m getting this award, certainly it’s because of Fito, but also, because of my love for Argentine rock,” said Carlos Vives, who won best pop/rock song for “Babel,” alongside Páez. “I was never a fan of The Beatles. I didn’t even learn English at home. But I always listened to Argentine rock.”  

Icons Juan Luis Guerra and Residente also won awards: Guerra in best merengue/bachata album for Entre Mar y Palmeras and Residente in best short-form video for his incendiary “This Is Not America.” Latin Grammy fave Natalia LaFourcade won best long-form video for her Hasta La Raíz: El Documental.

When a visibly emotional Tainy picked up the award for “Lo Siento BB:/,” he said: “Working with Julieta, it wasn’t my genre. I feel blessed.” It was one of many emotional speeches, but perhaps the most rousing was by Brazil’s Liniker, who won the Latin Grammy for best MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira) album with Indigo Borboleta Anil. “There is history being made in my country, Brazil, tonight. This is the first time a transgender artist wins a Grammy,” said Liniker, putting the audience on their feet.

The winner of the coveted producer of the year award went to acclaimed Colombian producer Julio Reyes-Copello, winning that prize for the first time after multiple nominations through the years. “I’m not Julio Reyes-Copello; I’m his manager Andrés Recio,” said Recio, picking up the award for Reyes-Copello. “I’ve been his manager for 22 years, and we’ve dreamt about this award for 22 years.”

The pre-telecast was the precursor to the Latin Grammy Awards, which will air at 8 p.m. ET Thursday night on the Univision network from the Michelob Ultra Arena at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

The full list of winners below, with winners in bold, will be updated during the evening.
