Don Omar cleans up at Billboard Latin Music Awards

Imagine this: Don Omar left speechless.

By the time, Omar, the big winner during the 2013 Billboard Latin Music Awards, Thursday night at the Bank United Center in Coral Gables, arrived on stage to accept his award for ‘Latin Rhythm Song of the Year” the reggaeton star had exhausted his acceptance speeches, and turned the microphone over to prodigy Natty Natasha.
                                         Take 10: Reggaeton star Don Omar was the top winner at the 2013 Billboard Latin Music Awards, Thursday night in Coral Gables, FL.

“When women speak, men shut up,” said Omar, before walking off with one of his 10 ‘Billboard Latin’ awards during the annual nationally-televised show on Spanish-language network Telemundo in recognition of the leading acts in Billboard’s sales, digital and radio charts.

Omar also took home ‘Digital Song of the Year’ before closing the three-hour fashion-laced and performance-filled Latin musiccelebration with a  bouncy and energetic performance of his hit, “Zumba”, which featured a dozen Brazilian dancerschronicling Omar’s every step as he worked both sides of the stage.

Mexican-American regional music star Jenni Rivera, killed in a plane crash in Mexico in December, won six ‘Billboard Latin’ awards and was honored during an emotional, teary-eye tribute that included footage of some of her most memorable performances and reality show – all witnessed by her parents and daughters in attendance.

Her brother, Juan Rivera performed her song, “No Llega el olvido”, backed by a mariachi band. “You are my diva,” said her father, Pedro Rivera while accepting his daughter’s awards.

The tribute left many in tears, with little time to recover as legendary Mexican singer Jose Josereceived the lifetime achievement award before Italian opera band II Volo performed a moving rendition of “El Triste”, one of Jose Jose’s timeless classics.

“Let’s thank God because he’s converted me into a friend and accomplice of so many couples, hearts and souls that fall in love and suffer because of love,” said Jose Jose.

Salsa-Latin pop music star Marc Anthony, working on his first all-salsa and original material album in almost a decade, debuted “Vivir Mi Vida”, his highly-anticipated new single off his yet-to-be-released album, with a poignant and festive performance that got many in the crowd out of their seats to dance.

Anthony was later joined on stage by Tito “El Bambino” to sing “Por Que Les Mientes”. 

Colombian pop artist Carlos Vives, who recently released his first album in eight years, joined Brazilian singer Michel Telo to perform  ‘Como Le Gusta a Tu Cuerpo”, a rheumatic and vallenato/samba-fused homage to ‘beautiful bodies’ and life on the beaches  of Brazilduring the three-hour show.
