Personal Bias: I have heard Chayanne's music for more than a decade, and I have even seen him live in the past. Neither Solis nor Anthony bothered to sing along with Chayanne in "Fiesta en America" ("Party in the USA"). Not to be outdone, Solis took back the microphone and blew the arena away. Even Chayanne turned on the power when it was his turn. Solis started off quietly, then was blown away by Anthony on the next verse.
#MARCO ANTHONY SOLIS FULL#
Then they went into full competition mode with Solis's "Dónde Esta Mi Primavera" ("Where Is My Springtime"). Each took a verse on Anthony's "Dimelo" ("I Need to Know"). And when he closed his part of the show with "Tu Amor Me Hace Bien" ("Your Love Is Good for Me"), he changed that little shout out at the end from "Lolita" (his pet name for J.Lo) to "Mamita."įinally, the three Gigantes came together during the encore, pitching in on each other's hits. So while there were dancers swarming the stage earlier in the night, there weren't any at all when Anthony took the stage. Of course, J.Lo was a dancer before she became a singer, and she left Anthony for a dancer in her own show. His set list was heavy on the you're-gonna-regret-it numbers.ĭuring one delicious moment in "Hasta Ayer" ("Until Yesterday"), he nodded his head cheekily after delivering the lines: "I found out you had another lover/And maybe with time/You'll do to him what you did to me." Ouch.īut while he's waiting for J.Lo to come crawling back, Anthony's taking other precautions. That drama was heightened by the subtext of Anthony's tabloid-worthy breakup with J.Lo. (Amusingly, concert posters were doctored to make all three singers look the same height, even though Anthony is at least six inches shorter than Chayanne.)Īnd for emotional drama, the four trombones in Anthony's orchestra beat the droning keyboards used by his peers. His frame is so slight that the power of his vocal instrument is even more remarkable.
He obligingly stepped out on the speakers to take the hands of adoring fans and pointed his finger at the everyone in the arena, seemingly one by one, telling us all that he'd fallen in love with us.īut it was Marc Anthony who ruled the night, his voice setting the arena atremble. He alternated between fast dance numbers that all had the words "Baila, baila" in them and slow heartfelt ballads that disappeared as soon as he sang them. He was the hardest worker of the three, sweating through several costume changes along with four female and four male back-up dancers. Less than five minutes after Solis disappeared down an elevator at the back of the staircase, Chayanne rose up, all butch in tight black jacket and jeans. The crowd sang along to his hits, old and new, and gave him a warm, standing ovation when he was finally through. He seemed a little crowded at the foot of a massive staircase set up to accomadate three separate bands, with all their musical instruments, to say nothing of four buxom backup dancers who came out in everything from showgirl tails to cowboy hats and chaps. He chatted about relationships and even did a little stand-up: "What do smart men and dinosaurs have in common? They're both extinct." Solis gave the crowd a leisurely 11-song set that lasted for more than an hour. But not around these parts: Miami's fans turned out to see his Puerto Rican costars. A Mexican institution since forming the popular band Los Bukis as a teenager in the '70s, Solis is probably the biggest "giant" in terms of record sales. Those songs were particularly poignant for salsa star Anthony, still stinging from a break-up with his most recent wife, Jennifer Lopez.īut it was Marco Antonio Solis who opened the show. Middle-age heartthrobs Marc Anthony, Marco Antonio Solis, and Chayanne crooned about the delirium of new love all the bittersweet lost loves and best of all, those loves that leave you, only to regret it later. The three Gigantes who sold out two of three shows at the American Airlines Arena this weekend delivered a whopping 36 songs in three and a half hours. Marc Anthony, Marco Antonio Solis, and Chayanneīetter Than: Reality television for relationship drama.
