[@euanelliott8068]

Godlike music: Evoking images of dark eyed ladies swaying in flashing lights, smiling because they know how beautiful they are. Hola from Euan, or perhaps it should be Juan. Latinas forever.

As a Dutch boy I did of course grow up with Countdown but never knew it was broadcast in 18 countries.

[@jacksugden8190]

tabasco I only ever saw this Countdown in later life on KZbin, and had never heard of the programme before now.

[@narvul]

I don't think it was.

[@sergiomancilla7959]

Está canción lo es todo todo

[@musicalmelodies3595]

Was this taped in the Netherlands or Australia because I also thought this show was only Australian 😂

[@tabascoraremaster1]

@@musicalmelodies3595 well the story above says it was Dutch but broadcasted in 18 countries. I remember the presentator was Adam Curry, who is Dutch or partly Dutch. Later he did also some MTV show.

[@agnesczimer7290]

It was my favourit program.

[@saiyongdawn7756]

Love Gloria and the Miami Sound Machine. Her husband Emilio was apart of the band. I think he managed everything. And they're still together knock on wood. Awesome. SELENA's husband Chris was a part of her band also. They would've still been together had she lived. I believe this. Latin women are more moralistic and family origin. Also currently Gloria's husband Emilio helps manages SELENA's husband Chris's band 'The Chris Perez Project'. Small world indeed.

[@jacksugden8190]

Sarah Stewart All in the past, as the band was wound up years ago, when Gloria went solo, but still good for its time with groundbreaking performances like that that, thing of the past.

[@jacksugden8190]

Sarah Stewart Who were Salina and Chris please?.

[@jacksugden8190]

Sarah Stewart She is miming this track

[@sneakyrabbit3465]

Selena Quintanilla and her husband Chris Perez.

this is hard to sing in karaoke haha..too fast!!! ahahaha

[@femkeoerlemans4458]

If you practice a lot it's possible! ;)

[@narvul]

They did less than karaoke.

[@euanelliott8068]

As a man the key is too high anyway so that lets me off.

[@sirlordford]

So, why were they performing a 2-3 year old song on a show called countdown?

[@tabascoraremaster1]

Why do you think they were ?

[@woukystam7710]

Countdown was a Dutch Music program in Holland

[@tabascoraremaster1]

Wouky Stam Duidelijk maar wist je dat het in 18 landen werd uitgezonden?

[@sneakyrabbit3465]

Because it took the song time to get to Europe

[@trevorbayers2175]

It’s bad enough that she is lip syncing, but the band is band syncing too. Lol. Is that even a term? Band syncing? Lol

[@RocStarr913]

Back then, this was how performers promoted their singles on television. It wasn’t about trying to recreate their live concerts. If you want to blame anybody for this, it would be Dick Clark all the way back in the 1950’s with American Bandstand. He first started this practice as a way to keep performers from doing anything that was potentially offensive. Plus, it saved a lot of time and money on sound checks.

[@rayva1]

This is playback.

[@the_indrid_cold]

i'm afraid you're right

[@RocStarr913]

This was how it was back then. There were lots of music-themed television programmes that did this.
