Yandel Performs Invigorating Reggaetón Medley, Accepts Pioneer Award at Latin AMAs 2024
At the 2024 Latin American Music Awards, live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Yandel delivered an exhilarating show and testified why he’s a genre pioneer. The Latin music icon also accepted the Latin AMA Pioneer Award for his trailblazing contributions in reggaetón. Clad in a black leather outfit and silver chains, looking straight out of a post-apocalyptic Mad Max setting, the Puerto Rican artist rocked the stage alongside dancers in matching black outfits and several of his genre peers. He opened his medley with “Caserio,” a savory slow-tempo dancehall tune, and transitioned to “Te Suelto el Pelo” — that’s when the reggaetón rhythm began to set the mood. The momentum started crescendoing as Yandel spun through his hits such as “Permítame,” originally by Tony Dize, and was soon joined by Jay Wheeler. The superstar then smoothly moved on to sing his banger “Encantadora” alongside Farruko, who delivered sultry vocals. As the light work continued to intrigue, Feid stepped onstage in his signature neon green, and they both began to sing “Fecha” from their latest joint album Manifesting 20-05. After the nearly 10-minute performance was done, Jay Wheeler, Farruko, Feid, Steve Aoki and Arcángel gathered to offer heartfelt words of why Yandel has created such an impact in Latin music. Here’s Yandel’s full speech below: “I have been in this career for a long time, since 1998. I chose to be in this career because of my love for music and the true love of those beginnings, when reggaetón was nothing. You live in moments with many hurdles along the way, but when you don’t lose faith and you set your mind to dedication, effort and passion, there is no one or nothing that can stop you. You are going to make it. “And these magical moments are unique and I feel very proud to be here. Thanks to my work, my team, and to all the artists and colleagues who have collaborated with me during all this time, all this way of music. Among them my partner of many battles, my brother Wisin, I love you with all my heart, my brother. We have both been blessed as duos and with our new career also as solo artists, so it is a blessing. Brother, I love you with all my heart and we are going to keep breaking. “To my people at Warner Latino, Alejandro Duque and Roberto Andrade, thank you for believing in me, for supporting me in this beautiful stage of my career. To my support that you give me every day, without you this would not be possible. So much respect. Manifesting is on the street, breaking. Thank you.” Thalia, Becky G, Alejandra Espinoza and Carlos Ponce co-hosed the award ceremony that presented in a combination of English and Spanish, marking the first time any major U.S. award show featured a bilingual broadcast via Univision.
Jelly Roll Pulls Madeline Merlot on Stage in Detroit to Sing Her Uncredited ‘Kill a Man’ Verse: ‘Such a Fan of Hers’
Jelly Roll “righted a wrong” to a fellow performer and offered up a brand new song during a concert Wednesday night (April 24) on the eve of the NFL Draft in Detroit. Fresh off his three CMT Music Awards earlier in the month, Jelly veered from the night’s planned setlist at the Fillmore Detroit to add “Kill a Man,” a track from his chart-topping 2023 album Whitsitt Chapel. He explained to the crowd that the night’s opening act — Canadian singer-songwriter Madeline Merlot — had sung backup on the recording but wasn’t credited because, “I didn’t know if she’d want to be associated with my white trash ass.” The two are on the same label (BBR Music Group), and Jelly Roll pronounced himself “such a fan of hers and her voice. I love everything about you, Miss Madeline Merlo.” He then invited her on stage to perform the song with him, letting her take lead on the second verse. Trending on Billboard Merlo, who’s been releasing music since 2014, was a second season contestant on NBC’s writing competition show Songland. Her most recent EP, Slide, came out during 2022, while a new single, “Time + Faith,” was released last September and reached No. 6 on Billboard Canada’s Country Songs chart. Jelly Roll also used the special small-venue show — dubbed The Night Before, but not an official NFL Draft event — to preview a brand new song, “Liar,” a muscular rock track that he said was destined for his next album. He and his eight-piece band muffed the opening — “We’ve never done this before, so… we’re figuring it out,” he noted — but started over and made their way through on the second attempt. “Should I put it on the new album or what, Detroit?,” thes singer teased afterwards, to unanimous approval from the 3,000 fans in attendance. He also urged those fans to post videos of him performing the song online immediately so that his wife, Bunnie XO, who was on the West Coast taping episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, “will see it before I get off stage.” The rest of Wednesday’s show — which was introduced by Public Enemy hype man Flavor Flav — included Jelly Roll hits such as “Dead Man Walking,” “Halfway to hell,” “Smoking Section,” “Son of a Sinner,” “Bottle and Mary Jane,” “She,” “Wild Ones,” “Same Asshole” and “Need a Favor,” plus a rendition of Toby Keith’s “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” in tribute to the late country icon. It also featured his usual medley of rap favorites by Eazy-E, Eminem, Outkast and Biz Markie. The Detroit concert presented by Audacy’s WYCD served as a warm-up for Jelly Roll’s Stagecoach festival performance on Friday (April 26). He also has dates currently booked into October, including his own Beautifully Broken Tour with Warren Zeiders and Alexandra Kay and a pair of stadium shows with Morgan Wallen in Tampa on July 11-12.
