Vocal Coach reacts to Juan Gabriel - Abrázame Muy Fuerte (En Vivo Desde Bellas Artes, México/ 2013)

He passed away from a heart attack. He wrote this song I wanna say maybe like in the 2000 for his sister. "Hug me tight as time goes by because God forgives but time does not." At the end he says "hold , hold me! But above all hold each other .... very strong ! Thank you for this reaction to our maestro and divo !

[@ao20271]

Just for context, Juan Gabriel’s utmost dream as a rising singer, was to sing in Bellas Artes with a symphony. As dreamed, he performed several times and this performance was one of them. Singing at Bellas Artes is very limited and only the most talented, deemed by the organization, can do it. He performed with the same passion at every concert. No gig was too small for him. He even wrote a song for our Lady of Guadalupe and his performances of the song at the Basilica and Estadio Azteca are breathtaking.

[@melzvargas2]

He was the biggest songs writers in Mexico

[@discomovilfantasma01]

You should listen Joan Sebastian song

[@Madri18]

One of the big carasterics of Juanga is that he can make you feel the song, it does not matter the time.. He sing this song since he was younger but everytime he does it, he makes you feel every word. The potential and sadness in his voice transport you to his on feelings, same happens on happy songs he interprets. I always think of this song write to all the people he loves, family, friends, fans... and ofcourse himself.. I think it hits hard to us to listening to him singing that song cause he was getting old.. and hits un on the melancoly, plus the extraordinary work he made with the symphony.

[@vickysilva6323]

He actually performed a 8 hours "non-stop" singing tv show! he's a legend, most definitely.

[@ozzymandias90]

My Dad had tickets to his show in our local city. It was the first time Juan Gabriel was coming to Utah and my Dad was so elated. Juan Gabriel was his all-time favorite artist and he had never seen him live. Juan would die days before his show in Salt Lake. My Dad was devastated, I've never seen him like that. He isn't a person who shows his emotions easily, but this occasion was different. My dad disappeared on us for two days and when he reappeared he said he went hiking to think about things and that he was doing better. We were scared a little for a minute, but now we laugh about it.

[@violetlily8]

That’s beautiful Juanga made us vibrate feel and rethink our grief life experiences and passed love lives! My mom MOURNED him. At first I didn’t understand but then the realization hit when she said:”I cry because he understood every feeling of my heart! He put it into song and he’s a part of ME! A part of my life story, my family! We pray and mourn for family!” I was like Lort my momma extreme but I get it! ❤

[@MaidenIron]

My mom and brother were so fortunate to see him at his last show 😢

[@melzvargas2]

I hadn't seen my Dad tear up since we lost my Mom. My Dad was devastated too. Such a humongous loss.

[@blancaevans7372]

He really didn’t need his microphone. Powerful voice. R.I.P Juanga

[@GentiluomoStraniero]

Don, At the beginning, Juan Gabriel is teasing the members of his audience that have not emotionally recovered from his previous song. He says, Hey guys, regain your composure. Juan Gabriel is telling a story about his life with the video of passages of his life playing in the screen behind him. He wrote this song for his deceased sister, who took him in and was more of a mother figure for him than his own mom was. The song reminds us of the cruelty of time and how it doesn't forgive, To hold one another. I'm glad you're going down the Juan Gabriel Rabbit hole. Blessings to you.

[@LupitaSin21]

That first part was more of a "y'all play too much guys" than a "regain your composure" kinda thing.

He was saying goodbye to a public life, with this last concert. It was massive.

[@edgarrojas9480]

Bro I was more entertained watching you react to Juan Gabriel’s performance!! He was an amazing performer as he touched a lot of of lives, and a lot of musicians owe their careers to him. The Latino community as a whole were very proud of him. I have a lot of respect for you because you did something brave and you went out of your comfort zone and listened to a Spanish singer and understood him through his music. It’s a beautiful thing to watch. That’s what great music does it breaks through boundaries and transcends no matter what language it’s in. Great job on your critique!! 💯

[@melzvargas2]

I hope you can listen to this song again with the translation. My absolute favorite song of his if not ever. I was a kid when I first heard it on a novela. I have listened to this song so many times. I'm so grateful we have this masterpiece of this gem of a human being. We love you JG. Descansa en Paz. Gone too soon. My favorite quote is also his, "Lo que se sabe no se pregunta." ♡♡

[@marivv2931]

I know you keep saying he knew but if you were a fan this is how he sang. With his whole heart and soul. He wrote this song for his sister because she was sick. They also used this song for a Mexican novela. He was performing until he passed from a heart attack. To say he was an amazing showman is an understatement. I am bilingual so I listen to spanish and english music and to me. He is my #1. He sang with orchestras, Mariachi, banda and so many artist covered his music. We will never have another.

There are two number ones in Mexico. Juan Gabriel and Jose Jose

[@brendarivera4384]

I recommend his song QUERIDA. The build up that song is impressive.

[@seulseulgom]

a lot of people already said this but, he passed away due to a heart attack, however, he was not sick nor diagnosed with anything, he seemed tired at most but remained optimist, he was in the middle of a tour when he died, he wrote this song to his sister who was like a mom to him, he is truly one of the greatest artist that mexico and latin america have ever had, he was and is still a legend, from which many other artists were born, there will never be another one like him

@@itsdokko2990 siendo niña... Your "mi hermana" me dice que eres latino, y es una expresión tan Dominicana que presumo lo eres if not sorry.. Here I go. When I was a kid, one of the things that made me the saddest was not being able to see him when he came to Festival Presidente de Música Latina, he came in 1997. It was on the same year that my grandma died. She loved him, my mom loved him, my aunties and so did I, I knew his songs, they all used to sing them so I did also, in 1997 I was 12 years old. I remember how 1997 was perhaps one of the saddest years, I experienced as a child. Grandma died, Lady Diana died and Juan Gabriel came and I couldn't see him perform.. And yes, all the ladies in my family loved lady Di.. It makes me sad to know that I didn't get to see JuanGa live. Espectacular él. I'm with you on the feels.

[@RaisaMendozaMakeup]

I’m sure someone has answered this but nada means “nothing” in Spanish. This song’s called “hug me tight” and the jist is just to love the people around you while you have them. Hug them. Cherish that hug bc time is cruel, a bad friend, it is unwavering and unforgiving. He’s saying “hug me because time is unforgiving, i want to thank you, love, for all you’ve given me. Hug me. Hug me again. Hug me tighter. Hug me because time is against us.” Time is coming and it’s not kind. It’s about loving on your people while they’re here in the flesh. Being thankful to have experienced love to its fullest.

The lyrics of the song were used at my wedding as a waltz. And they say the following: "When you are with me It's when I say That it was worth everything, everything That I have suffered I don't know if it's still a dream Or if it's a reality But when I'm with you is when I say That this love I feel Is because you deserve it To tell you, my love, that I have dawned once again Crying with happiness By your side, I feel that I am living Nothing is like yesterday Hug me because time passes, and it never forgives It has wreaked havoc on my people as well as on myself Hug me because time is bad and very cruel, my friend Hug me because time is gold if you are with me Hug me tightly, very tightly, tighter than ever Always hug me Today that you are with me I don't know if time is passing or if you have stopped it This is how I want to be forever I take advantage of having you with me I thank you for every moment of my life When you look at the sky For every star that appears, my love, it's an "I love you" Hug me because time hurts, and the sky is a witness That time is cruel and doesn't want anyone, that's why I tell you Hug me very tightly, my love, keep me by your side I want to thank you, my love, for everything you have given me I want to reciprocate in one way or another every day My love, I have never been in favor of pain But I had to suffer when I trusted and believed In someone who swore to give their life for me Hug me because time passes, and it never forgives Hug me very tightly, my love, because time is coming against us Hug me because God forgives, but time forgives no one Hug me because it doesn't care to know who one is Hug me because time passes, and it never forgives It has wreaked havoc on my people as well as on myself Hug me because time is bad and very cruel, my friend Hug me very tightly, my love."
