The iHeartRadio Dog & Pony Show

I've found myself on the public channels trying to figure out what exactly this was. Puff Daddy introduced by Rita Ora as a multitalented legend with several names... I about thought she was talking about someone else. Then I though it was an award show but what award could Puffy win in 2015? He did one verse from Victory then what I guess is acceptable as a video, possibly Skyped duet with Pharrell idk lol Blake Sheldon did some song about rednecks that was borderline self hate but it had this whole riff/vibe in the music that reminded me of Rock & Roll Is Alive so it was kinda cool. Anyone else catch this mess? Did yall know there is a new Prince getting played in the club? Theres a new "superstar" named Prince Royce too apparently. He sounda kinda like NKOTB lol. He even did the hangin tough wave.

Prince Royce is HUGE in the LATIN COMMUNITY and hes not NEW! Its just his first ENGLISH project. LEARN SOMETHING.

Nick Ashford was someone I greatly admired, had the honor of knowing, and was the real-life inspiration for Cowboy Curtis' hair. RIP Nick. - Pee Wee Herman

Yeah. His label is trying to make him a cross-over star in a way they never did with Romeo Santos.. But he has the same potential to do it because he has a ton of young fans who speak both english and spanish.. so kind of doing the same thing Enrique Iglesias does releasing in both languages. But I don't know if the english speaking world sees Enrique for how big of a star he is gloablly.. the same will probably be the case with Prince Royce, people might come to recognize him and his name but they probably wont realize his fame in the latin community.

Change it one more time..

Prince is the support act on Ariana Grande The Honeymoon Tour currently. So they getting him in the right market. Romeo Santos hasnt fully committed to doing an all English release, it only has dipped his toe into English songs on each project. I know he doesnt want to leave his Bachata roots. He is The Early Bird in next years The Angry Birds movie

Oh see all I saw was a bunch of chicks twerkin to a guy that wasn't really grabbing my attention. The girls though, there was a band somewhere back there and the track was kinda nice. Maybe it wasn't his night.

I googled Prince to watch a video at the suggestion of another orger the other day. Could you believe Prince Royce was almost more prevalent on the main page? Romeo Santos is really popular, like I get wanting to "cross over" as some fleeting glass ceiling moment but I can respect Santos for just avoiding that. His shit is on the next level musically compared to most of the stuff on iheartradio anyway. I know theres a huge potential nut to crack in making it super big in America but who recently has done that in the past decade or so? Adele? Maybe Bieber? We are a fickle buying public these days.

Oh thats interesting, didn't know that. I know he had a cameo in Furious 7 because I think he's friends Vin Diesel, but it's good he's doing some non-music stuff.
