[@enriquecerros]

Joure-Ellex among Latin singers, she’s the one with the most successful crossover. That in itself is pretty remarkable! 😊

[@joreellex]

Itzama Alvarez i respect that. We all love our Lating singers and yes she made big and broke records and stuff but most artists have their time and sometimes its a pass time that we all live once in a life time and the way life is, imagine. All is a progressive and continuously journey to become or be someone, which is hard. I dont take anything away from her. Shes been an inspiration for many i know

[@joreellex]

Enrique Cerros i would say one of the most successful cus they have been so many breaking records and selling stadiums not only her and yes yood for her for her big cross over. But now many artists are getting glue to those who are on the top now. So she had to jump from her style to join forces with reggaeton artists and bachata artist to remain in the spot light. This is something new with the new generation because artists back them never looked or asked for collaboration to stay relevant or in the spot light. Yes i know they were duets back in the day bit it was not as usual as today.
