"The talent in this remarkable new artist by the name of Luis Fonsi is something not commonly brought upon this Earth. Luis Fonsi was born to sing romantic love songs. This is truly good music comming from a new and young artist with a real voice and a unique latin pop style. He will truly move your heart."

"To Non-Spanish speaking Music Fans: If you've Real Audio, click any of the five selections highlighted for listening for this cd (current favorites in Miami are #4 and #5). Close your eyes. LISTEN TO THIS VOICE!!! It is not an angel's singing, although your mind will want to place it among the clouds. It is not a dream, but you will be sure only a dream could sound like this. It is a thousand supplications to your emotions, to you heart. It is as thrilling as a discovery, and as familiar as a favorite memory. Listen, and you will not believe that a mere youth sings! But the uninhibited persuasions of maturity will surely convince you. Listen, and just try to hold back your excitement! Listen, and just try to not show your enthusiasm! Listen, and your heart will make its own interpretation...then place your order here, and keep the listening going."

"The song that made me want this album the most was SI TU QUISIERAS. It is a gorgeous song..."If you wanted" (literally)
Luis has a beautiful, classically trained voice, that makes me think of opera and also, of course, has a pop sound to it. You can tell he has a lot of soul and love for what he does--his music. Every song makes this more and more evident. COMENZARE, PERDONAME, TU CALOR....all of the tracks stick to the formula of love songs (herida--heartbreak, el amor de juventud--the love of youth, primer amor--first love, la tracionera--betrayal), but are never boring because Luis just sings his heart out.........For me, it was like he was in the same room with me, it was that moving. Please go out and buy this CD! You will not be disappointed."
Can't get enough of this!!! :-)

"Luis Fonsi has a voice that is smooth yet rough at the same time. The timbre in his voice is a bit different which gives his voice an unusual flavor. I love these elements in Luis Fonsi's voice and it is something that makes his singing far above average. The difference between a good singer and a great singer is control and restraint when singing the low passages as well as the high Cs. Luis Fonsi is definitely in the latter categury.This album is one of the best Latin albums that I've heard so far. Luis Fonsi shows a lot of style, personality and emotion in all his songs. There are many albums (English as well as Spanish) that have maybe one or two good songs and the rest are bottom of the barrel bad. There are no shortages of this. "COMENZARE," however, is nowhere near this category. "Si Tu Quisieras" is an outstanding example of Luis' versatility. From the quiet introduction to the crescendo chorus you hear what a tremendous talent he is. I'm sure a lot of lovers have made this song "their" song and this album "their" album. After listening to track #1, I'm sure you will too!"
