I’m in my space, dancing, singing, shouting with their songs, and suddenly they arrive with a microphone and they say to me: ‘They want to sing “Obsession” with you to close the night, are you ready?’.
“Yesterday I was in Las Vegas when I found out that Aventura would be in concert in Los Angeles, and as Aventura fan that I am, I traveled without thinking to see them. The same singer wanted to post this special moment that she lived on her Instagram profile, where she told the anecdote of how she ended up on stage with her idols. It is a love and for us an honor to share with her,” said Romeo Santos.Īttendees recorded this moment with their mobile phones and shared it on social networks, where videos of the performance are trending. This blessed, very humble and very talented girl is putting the name of Colombia in all countries. In addition, almost at the end of the performance all the members of the group surrounded the reggaeton to dance close to it.Īt the end of his performance, the New Yorker of Dominican origins dedicated a few words to his guest in which he reflected the respect and admiration he feels for her. The presence of the Colombian made the public go crazy, who shouted euphoric when they saw the artists on the stage of Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles interpreting one of the most iconic songs of the group.ĭuring the time they shared the stage, it can be seen that both exuded complicity and chemistry dancing and singing together. This Sunday it was the turn of the city of Los Angeles, where the attendees were lucky enough to experience an unrepeatable moment: the performance of Romeo Santos with Karol G, who sang “Obsesión” with the rest of the band.
And on this stellar tour that they are doing after the pandemic, full of enthusiasm and energy to return to the stage, surprises are not lacking. The track is so unimpeachably good that member Harry Styles broke one of the biggest boy band taboos in history by including it on the set list for his first tour as a solo artist in 2017, a few years after the group disbanded.Adventure is on tour in the United States, a tour with which they are sweeping and remembering those musical successes with which they delighted their fans before they separated.
Fans were so hooked on the song and its beach-set video - which premiered a month before the single’s official release on YouTube - that they flooded radio stations to request a song they hadn’t even received yet. “What Makes You Beautiful” would be released over a year later and tee off the band’s whole career with a major bang: The reassuring pop hit is classic boy band clichés above a less-classic pop-rock sound. That would prove to be a fortuitous decision for all involved: The quintet came in third, but they were so popular that they were a shoe-in for a deal with Cowell’s Syco label. Instead of advancing them in the competition separately, he decided to form a new group called One Direction. In 2010, Simon Cowell saw potential in five teenage boys who auditioned as solo artists on The X-Factor. In honor of their continuing impact and dominance, here are the boy band heartthrobs’ pop confections worth screaming for. The main defining factor? The venues full of screaming fans - always young, mostly girls - who help turn a boy band into a cultural artifact worth admiring and singing along to even after their inevitable disbandment or “hiatus.” But like any other form art, you know a boy band when you see one. Sometimes they are literally boys, sometimes they’re twentysomethings with boyish charm. Sometimes they sing words they’ve written themselves, sometimes they sing other people’s. Sometimes they are total strangers, sometimes they have known each other since birth. Their existence is a pop constant but parameters have always been blurred: sometimes they dance and sometimes they don’t.
From the scripted TV shenanigans of the Monkees to the charming folkiness of One Direction, as long as there are junior high school notebooks to deface, there will be outfits providing pop spectacle in its purist, least filtered form.Īs music has evolved, so have boy bands. Irresistibly catchy, unapologetically inauthentic, sexy and they know it - the boy band is the most fabulously pre-fab of all musical outfits.
