Iglesias was cross-promoting both his new album Euphoria, a biligual release in English and Spanish, plus Azzaro Pour Homme for which he appears as the fragrance's new spokesperson. 300-plus lucky fans got a chance to meet Iglesias, and I was one of them. Regardless how you feel about his music, one cannot deny his accomplishments. He is one of few artists still standing and getting airplay after finding fame at the beginning of the Millennium. One cannot deny an artist who has sold over 55 million albums and above that, many of us don't realize that he lived in Toronto for a duration while recording his debut English album Enrique. A punctual Iglesias armed against the shower of flashing cameras, arrived in a pair of Sunglasses looking in fine form dressed in a T-shirt and Jeans, greeting hundreds - maybe even thousands - of onlookers at the storefront. He even took occasional breaks between signing autographs on-stage to come down to greet those without passes. Now that's love. The organizers had a strict no photographs on-stage policy which Iglesias broke for a few lucky fans who convinced him of their loyalty. He even posed with one fan's baby as an exception. I did ask Iglesias if he would pose for a photo, to which he replied "Man, I'd love to - but these guys are gonna kill me. I'm sorry, but I'll sign two autographs for you. How's that?". And so he signed a copy of his superstar-making Escape album for me and an additional photo which I brought along. There was a one autograph per person rule. Iglesias met with organizers, store staff and a few lucky fans after the Meet & Greet, leaving the venue just after 5:30. He will be doing additional press tomorrow, including an interview at the event's main sponsor Z103.5 FM. Good luck spotting him Toronto and thank you Enrique, for your generosity! _________________________________________________________________________ #3 On Facebook Posted 8/25/10 Today we bring you another weekly round-up of Facebook pages that have shown tremoundous growth in fan numbers.

"The USP of 'Euphoria' is that it has both English and Spanish songs. It's a great way to narrow the differences between regions by bringing these two languages in one," Iglesias, 35, told IANS in an email interview from Miami. "I think using the two languages made the album more eclectic. With the album I have been able to put one language against the other. "Earlier, what I would do when I was making an album in English I would strictly write in English, when I was making an album in Spanish I would strictly write in Spanish and concentrate on that." "Now, what I did is I would write a song in Spanish and I felt good about it, I would say to myself 'OK, now I've got to write a better song in English, and vice versa," he added. "Euphoria" is the ninth and the first bilingual album by Iglesias, who came to India last year and is "dying to come back". The 35-year-old has collaborated with artists like Akon and Usher among others in "Euphoria". When asked about the experience, the singer said: "Oh, it was a great experience." "The cool thing about this album is that most of the collaborations were pretty spontaneous, very organic and by that what I'm trying to say is that I didn't think of the collaborations until the song was written. "Usher and I had been speaking for quite some time, actually a bunch of years, and we're friends, and we said, 'OK, it would be cool if we could collaborate.' Finally it came about. The one with Akon, it was a funny story because I was in the studio and Akon went by and he listened to the song and was like, 'Let me jump on the second verse.' It wasn't planned," he added. In the past, the singer has been famous for songs like "Bailamos", "Hero", "Be With You", "Rhythm Divine", "Escape" and "Addicted" among others. Throwing light on the songs in "Euphoria", the pop star revealed that the tracks are melody- driven. "I'm so melody-driven, I think that melody's extremely important. Obviously it's melody, lyrics and the production; it's a combination of those three. But I love a good melody, and I feel like the simpler the song, the more difficult it is to write," he said. The singer's last album "Insomniac" came in 2007. Why did he decide to name his next "Euphoria"? "It's difficult for me to be enthusiastic about the record and maybe it's because I've written so many songs or I've done so many albums. "That's why I called this album 'Euphoria' because I feel like I was able to find four or five magical moments, euphoric moments that truly made me happy and made me enthusiastic about the album," informed the crooner. _________________________________________________________________________ Vote For Enrique!
