Since a Mexican friend of mine introduced me to Alejandro's songs, I have been hooked! If you are looking for something alegre or romantico - you can never ever go wrong with Alex. He so rocks!

Alejandro's the best !

"I know many would agree that this is the most beautiful voice on the planet, and here's another CD to prove it. Recorded in '96, with rousing rancheras like "Es La Mujer" and "Ya Se Que Dices", this is the most traditional of his recordings. The highlight for me is the Julio Iglesias/Rafael Ferro Garcia "Abrazame"...it's sublime. This is more than great singing, it's pure artistry. As with his other CDs, this entire package is wonderfully designed, with easy to read lyrics and information, and of course, gorgeous photos !"
Viva Alejandro !

"I know this critique may cause a stir with my Mexican family members and friends ( especially the older generation)! I'm going to say it again and please forgive me (perdoname)-- Alejandro Fernandez sounds better than his dad (The King of the Rancheras Vicente Fernandez). At times, Alejandro seems to have a very deep operatic-like voice ( deeper than his dad's). This can probably be attributed to Alejandro receiving some of the finest educational instructing and vocal coaching versus when his own father was very young and self-taught at an early age and came from more humble beginnings. Again, maybe it is a generational thing since I am in my late 20's--probably older than Alejandro--that in the past few years I have come to appreciate and treasure my Hispanic ethnicity through younger artists of this generation. Finally, the generation x-ers (regardless of race) can identify with such talents in the same age range that can also show us that there's absolutley nothing wrong with listening to the same music our older relatives grew up with ! This man is an excellent example as well as an idol for the young generation.This album certainly proves it !!!"

"the son of mexican icon vicente fernandez sure followed in his fathers footsteps as a mexican singer. he sings mostly ballads,rancheras andlove songs. he has a really nice voice and with the mariachi band in the background, you get a pretty good idea of what mexican music is. even if you dont speak spanish, one listen and youll realize how beautiful his music is."
Muy Bueno...

"If you like boleros, balads, and rancheras, this CD will give you all you want with your favorite music. He is such a great singer, he has that very masculine voice, and he has that incredible feeling while singing, that every song he sings, is wonderful. I love this CD!"
