From the first few notes of "Todo Termino", the world had a new star in its musical firmament. At 21, the power and maturity of his voice is extraordinary, the only clue to his youth is the cute guy on the cover. These are all beautiful rancheras, and "Cuando Yo Queria Ser Grande" by Manuel Monterrosas, about a parent grown old, is one of the most touching songs I've ever heard...you'll weep salty tears as I did. The final track, "Que Pregunta Muchacho", is a duet with his father, the legendary Vicente. Though this is the only recording of his that doesn't contain lyrics in a booklet, his enunciation is so perfect you won't miss a word. This CD is also available as part of a terrific set, "Mis Primeros Exitos", which contains his first 3 CDs, individually wrapped, and in a nice box. I really recommend getting the set, you'll love them all !

I thought for his first release album it was great. His seemed to capture alot of people.

Alejandro has such a range that it is hard not to listen to him be it Ranchero or Romances or Salsa kind music. I am not hispanic but I do appreciate good music when I hear one.

He absolutely, occupies a place among the greatest mexican singers.
But, as far as voice, next to his father and Javier Solis, he is the greatest.
Even his father (whose music and style I love) does not keep his voice as high in the long notes.
I happened to attend to a live performance of his.
He can easily keep up with Andrea Bochelli.
I make this comparison because people who appreciate real mexican music expect high notes as those in opera; a feat very difficult to achive.
