Con un nostálgico concierto en el que dio vida a clásicos éxitos que lo consagraron en el gusto del público y donde recordó a su desaparecido padre, Luis Miguel ofreció la víspera la primera de las 21 presentaciones programadas en el Auditorio Nacional, donde una vez más se coronó.... go to article / vaya a artículo ---*AUDITORIO NACIONAL FOTOS* - FANTASTIC!
11:20am
Just when I thought I'd seen it all... I saw on a gossip show where some other man named Luis Miguel who has been a small-time singer is joining the crowd and deciding to sue our guy. The reason why is because of the fame of our Luis Miguel, it has become a hardship to conduct business in his own name, so yep! another lawsuit is launched!
ESPAÑOL: Ví en una programa de chisma que hay un hombre que tiene el nombre "Luis Miguel" como nuestro rey. Y parece que hace una demanda contra Micky porque Micky es tan famosa que el otro Luis Miguel no puede manejar comercio en su nombre. Qué mundo!

‘El Sol’ brilló de noche / El Sol illuminates the night
QUICKIE ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Singer LM initiated his Mex tour to a full house, where he returns to shine once again in the Aud Nac, this time with his concert "33". Before an audience filled with emotion and euforia to once again receive their preferred artist, the only one that's broken the record for concert dates, and who only tours every 2years, the spectacular event started at 9pm. After 1/2 hour of delay, the lights went down and the chords or "Vuelve" could be heard to start the concert. Everyone stopped in their tracks to give a big welcome to Luismi, as the concert started. LM, with his distinctive smile and enviable suntan, appeared happy and content. Dressed in an elegant suit and black tie, with hair a little long and with sideburns, a look that some have criticized, didn't bother his fans at all. To maintain and animate the emotion of the fans, LM sang "Amor, amor, amor" with which the fans remembered the last tour. "Ahora que te vas", "Perfidia" and "Eres" (song they say is about Myrka) followed, then the greeting, "Hello Mexico, good evening!" were the first words of El Sol, and the thanks to the fans attending his concert in the beginning of this tour in Mex. Then "Devuélveme el amor", "No se tú" and "Cómo duele". Followed by "O tú o ninguna" which caused the entire audience to sing in chorus with him, and "Sol, arena y mar", "Suave" which set the crowd to dancing and LM in his well known dance movements on stage. One of the most touching moments was when LM paused to remember and give thanks for help/support (from his father) and a medley of songs that had triumphantly started his career, which everyone sang with him, and brought tears to many. "No me puedes dejar asi", "Palabra de honor" "Entrégate", and "La Incondicional" were those "oldies" that were included, in which people put their voices and arms in movement to accompany them. "Micky", as he is affectionaly called, returned to the stage in a very relaxed look of black pants and open black shirt with rolled up sleeves, and sang Con tus besos, Nos hizo falta, Que tristeza, Mucho corazón, La media vuelta, Amorcito corazón, ¿Cómo es posible que a mi lado?, Suave, No culpes a la noche, and Te propongo esta noche. To close the concert, fireworks and a rain of confetti set the ambience for the medley of songs form the past tour, which drove the crowd crazy, who were already on their feet and hadn't stopped dancing and singing to their idol. "Ahora te puedes marchar”, “La chica del bikini azul”, “Isabel” and “Cuando caliente el sol", were the songs elected for the explosive closing and his departure..... But you know that "El Sol" always returns with the last song to his audience, and the audience clapped and screamed until LM returned to close the evening with "Te necesito". The writer of the article did not think this stage setting was as impressive as others he's seen from LM, but still says "his lights and displays has always been the best in his live productions". The mariachis were not there this time, and as always LM's bodyguards were put to the challenge of controlling fans on the brink of madness, wanting to touch his hand. The roses thrown to the stage and shouts of "I love you" were not lacking. A smiling LM returns wearing the white shirt and it was incredible to see the audience again in ecstacy because of his presence. He left from the top of the stairs in the middle of the stage, throwing a large kiss to everyone that had fun with him, on this opening night of his concerts in Mexico.
QUICKIE ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
In the first of 21 concerts, the singer created a gala with his voice and presence on stage for his fans, and thanked his father for all his advice on his voice when he was younger. Now that he has arrived at 33 years, many things has changed in his life: his smile (teeth) has been perfected, his hair has been changed, and he's got a new love. Although there are 3 variants that remain intact: his great voice, his gestures, and the adorations that these provoke in his fans. At least, that's the impression that was given in the concert of his return last night in the Aud Nac and, as usual, he shone brilliantly.
It mentions different famous people in Mexico that were there. Like he's done throughout the tour, he started with "Vuelve and even though he arrived 17 minutes late, the ansiousness of the singer and the 10,000 fans that filled the collisium was so much, it was like they were reclaiming their idol (or something like that). The criticisms and controversy that his recent album awakened have not been offensive to the singer, for in the hour he is in front of the multitude his smile is sufficient to captivate them. And even though the audience gave a louder response to the medlies, he knew to hit a balance between romantic and festive, that incites children, teens and adults to dance, like happened with "Como es posible que a mi lado". There were 3 changes of clothes during the concert which lasted 100 minutes. Always keeping in good profile, he gave remembrance to his father, Luis Rey (before he sang his youth hits): "It's been 15 years since I had the opportunity to record these songs, and at that time my father was with me in the studio and told me not to worry, that having your voice change was natural. I want to thank him for that, I don't know what I would have done without his guidance/advice". Then he sang songs that he hasn't included in his repretoire for a long time, like "No me puedes dejar asi", "Palabra de honor", "Entrégate" and "La Incondicional". If there was one thing that characterized the evening, it was that bond, that complicity, that from the beginning bound LM with the public, who sometimes seemed to be singing duets with him. The boleros like "Mucho corazón", "Media vuelta" and "Amorcito corazón" made not only the young ones sigh, but the older women too. In "Cómo es posible que a mi lado" and "Te propongo esta noche", LM moved and danced, knowing this would bring screams from the fans. Then the songs from the past were poured out on the audience: "Ahora te puedes marchar", "Isabel", "la chica de binkini azul" and "Cuando caliente el sol", which the result was in convincing the audience that 2 years were worth the wait to see him. After a few seconds break, amidst shouts of "otra, otra" (encore, encore), he returned attired in white shirt with red points on it and black pants, and sang "Te necesito", with which he ended his first presentation.
URL EN ESPAÑOL: Prepara sus `Romances`
QUICKIE ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Armando Manzanero says that he's received a call and he is ready to help in whatever way LM wants him to, whether as co-producer or composer, in his next 'Romances' album that would should start on later in this year.

URL ESPAÑOL: Arranca primer concierto de LM /LM launches his first concert (in Mex)
QUICKIE ENGLISH TRANSLATION: In the middle of torches and Greek columns, Mex singer Luis Miguel made the night vibrate in the Auditorio Nacional, where 10,000 fans sang and danced to the songs on this first of 21 concerts. At 8:45pm the lights were blacked out and the crowd screamed as the figure of "El Sol" emerged, with a smile on his lips for his audience. Dressed in a black suit and white shirt, the Mexican star took the evening with the song "Vuelve", a tempo that invited the fans to sing in chorus together and live the magic of his "Tour 33", and the multimedia displays transported them to heavenly beaches. The chords of "Amor, Amor, Amor, brought the crowd to their feet while the 22 security guards, who were in front of the stage, jealously guarded LM, even though he didn't miss the opportuniity to get close to his admirers, greeting them and sing by their sides for a few seconds. Later he sang several romantic balads like "Ahora que te vas", "Perfidia" and "Eres". He greeted the audience, saying it was a pleasure to be there and sing songs from 15/20 years ago. Then with a smile, he saluted his fans and asked that they enjoyed the evening, but above all that they accompany him in the singing.

LM on cover and has several pages on LM inside, long LM interview + short Myrka interview.
LM en portada y la revista tiene various páginas sobre LM, entrevista muy larga de LM, y una entrevista corta de Myrka + LM habló de su familia. La primera pregunta para Myrka fue:
"¿Quien es para ti el mejor cantante de México?
-"Ay, por favor, por supuesto que Luis Miguel".
"¿Y del mundo?
-"Pues el Sol de México, ¿quién más?
QUICKIE ENGLISH TRANSLATION, not perfectly accurate, but to the best of my ability, you get the idea of it: LM breaks the ice in this interview and starts it off by telling the interviewer "ask me whatever you want".
When asked about the theme of love he felt obliged to be honest about it and replies, "Everything is a reflection of the personal life, it's a natural way to see it, without having to say it." Interviewer replies, "I can see it in your face, in your eyes". LM replies, "I can honestly say that I've never felt like this, I'm very happy, content". When asked about forming a family, he surprises the interviewer by responding, "For many years I've been asked this question and and I've always said "no". As one matures they see things differently, and I feel that yes, it's important in the life of a man, in the life of a woman to live that stage of life. I'd like to have children, sure, I love children. I really enjoy the things that I haven't had time to enjoy in my own life, to live as a father and dedicate much time to my children." He also talks about his family.
Oh, also, in the Myrka interview the first thing they ask her is who she thinks is the best Latin singer, and she replies, 'oh please, of course, Luis Miguel!" when asked who she thought was the best singer in the _world_ she replied "Well, the El sol de México, who else?"
