The Sun of Mexico He waited for the Marbella Moon to rise to appear for the third consecutive night on the festival stage Starlight before a full house. Luis Miguel knew it was his last night performing in Spain and the truth is that he sounded better than ever. The acoustics of the Nagüeles quarry made him shine in a performance that did not change one bit from a show that started a year and a half ago in the Dominican Republic and that will continue in 21 days and that Paloma Cuevas’ boyfriend will finish in November in his homeland.
Not a single mistake, not a sound failure, not a discordant note, not an improvisation. The Sun of Mexico is perfectionist and meticulous and does not change his repertoire or choreography. Nor is it necessary. His greatest hits since he debuted as a child have appeared in random order and always accompanied by an impeccable orchestra that he can handle with a simple glance. “Suave,” “La Bikina,” “La Independiente,” the tribute to Armando Manzanero, the nods to Michael Jackson and Frank Sinatra, and, of course, his tribute to Mexico with some mariachis that are a joy to see and even more to hear, everything went off without a hitch. With the cathedral of Mexico in the background, Luis Miguel took advantage of his only costume change and warmed up the end of the party, getting the audience out of their seats. His voice is still one of the best and he is one of the few who sings with the microphone almost at his waist since there are very few occasions when he brings it close to his mouth. He does not need anything else.
She has some tones that are her letter of introduction and a hip swing that not even her fan can’t Miguel Lago He is capable of emulating (I missed him in Marbella). But nothing is the result of chance. Since he started this tour in 2023, Luis Miguel takes care of himself like an elite athlete and that is why he does not modify anything in his show nor is he seen afterwards at any party or red carpet. Accompanied by his Paloma, his routine is the same. After the Show, a private dinner with a very small group of close friends to celebrate the success.
Ponce’s “counterprogram” leaving through the front door
Until recently, he used to do it with his brother and his girlfriend, his daughter Michelle Salas and his son-in-law and of course Paloma. Last night there were more liberties because it was the last one and to accompany him she was in the front row. Louis Alfonso of Bourbon with his daughter and the little girl of Paloma and Enrique Ponce. By the way, hours before the bullfighter left through the main door of the bullring in Puerto de Santa María after a bullfight with his uncle Jaime Martinez-Bordiu, who was there with his wife, Marta. But the list of attendees was very long.

Will Smith without slaps
Actor Will Smith will be one of the winners at his return to an awards ceremony after a long time away from the red carpet following the famous punch he gave Chris Rock at the Oscars for comments he made about his wife’s baldness. Let’s hope that tonight Will Smith can enjoy his award in peace and without any outbursts other than those of shared joy. Although many expected him at Luis Miguel’s concert, the actor reserved himself for his own show, which he will star in alongside his good friend the actor. Antonio Banderas, the soul and icing on the cake of the gala celebrating its 15th edition. That’s nothing.
