Luis Miguel's career with the North American public can be classified into several different stages. They are marked by seminal album productions which had no precedent in his career up the point of their release. Three of these stages, which could arguably be called the most significant, are: the Pop/Adult Latin Contemporary (UN HOMBRE BUSCA UNA MUJER, 20 ANOS); music of the Goldern Era (the ROMANCE series); and the Live Concert Performance Recordings. AMERICA & EN VIVO ushered in the latter of these stages. It was the transitional release and format type that Luis Miguel would perfect on the two future releases of live recordings--the start of something great.

I do not agree that the live recordings of LM are "all the same." Certainly, the three songs on this CD and the rest of his live repetoire, are never quite the same sampling of music. For one thing, HOMBRE BUSCA and 20 ANOS firmly established LM once and for all as a Pop icon and deft interpretor of modern ballads as well as the up-tempo compositions. He'd been a favoured performing artist for eight (yes, 8!) years on Latin American television and film prior to these two productions. But having recorded ROMANCE brought to him the honing of his indelible skill to a brilliant clarity and sharpness, a kind of vocal "high-fidelity." It can be best described as the kind of interpretation that Sinatra and Fitzgerald were famous for giving their master composers. Go back to these two artists' songbooks and you'll never quite accept anyone else's--thus much with LM. A subsequent and necessary effect of that work changed his perspective for the lyric: He had now grown into a vocal and emotional (i. e. interpretive) maturity. He could still nail a string of notes to the wall, but his became a more informed and skilled approach. It is perhaps the most remarkable development in all of his career. It took his live performance to a level of impeccable phrasing and timing that remains to this day. It is his ability to give every song he brings from the precision of the studio to the freshness and improvisation of the stage, making it seem like one is hearing a song from him for the first time. It comes from a settled confidence and centered strength, encouraging his audience to trust him on a new journey with a familiar and beloved lyric. Listen to "No Se Tu" from this title. Now listen to the same song from EL CONCIERTO. Yes, it is still the same old song...but it is yet sublime, heartbreaking, meticulously beautiful, this voyage taking you farther still.

Quiero decir que me encanta la musica de Luis Miguel pero no hay bastante aqui!! Cuando yo la compre no me fije en esto y estuve muy enohado, como si me robaron! Este disco no mas tiene quatro cancioncitas. Hay varios otros discos que LM ha hecho con las mismas canciones, casi el mismo precio(poquito mas)y mucho mas mejor. Con la excepcion de la cancion "America" que canto en vivo en las Olyimpicas no hay nada aqui que no pudes encontrar en otro disco de mas valor por tu dinero. Por el dinero te vale mas comprar uno de sus discos de sus conciertos en vivo. Piensa lo bien antes de comprar lo, con poquito mas feria compras un disco completo!

This cd has a short Luis miguel live presentation, wich is really good, and has tghe song America in the final tarck.

This short CD was published after Luis sang "América, América" for the Barcelona Olympics - América has a verse sung in English with the same passion that he sings in Espanol - don't miss it! As an avid fan NOT wanting Luis to record a complete album in English, this gave cause for second thoughts. . . OK maybe a track or 2 on his next album! The remaining 3 tracks were recorded live and are EXCELLENT! - in the middle of "Inolvidable" he slowly repeats himself, reminding the audience of the "many, many lips he has actually kissed" - OK Luis we are all eagerly awaiting our turn! A MUST purchase! Period.

It's typical Luis. Great music, but not necessary to own if you have his other cds. The versions of 'Involvidable,' 'Contigo en la distancia,' and 'No se tu,' are the same as on his other cds. Other than 'America' (in which he sings a bit in English), there is no new music. Still great though.

Luis Miguel America Y en vivo;

Un concierto pequeño, grabado en un concierto en el auditorío de Mexico usando éxitos del la obra maestra Romance.El material siendo un Ep es muy corto conteniendo 4 temas, 3 de romance en vivo y el nuevo tema America America que podimos escuchar en Barcelona 92. Lástima para los seguidores de Luis Miguel el concierto no fue revelado en formato cd o casette, El concierto solo fue revelado en vhs y beta llamado Romance En Vivo. El material es recomendable si eres seguidor por que siendo EP hay muy poco material.

Not very cheap for just four songs. Fortunately, three of the four (the latter four) are simply unforgetable.

Luis Miguel é sem dúvida uma das vozes mais bonitas do mundo, além de ser um um homem lindíssimo e charmoso. Suas musicas falam de amor, e traduzem tudo o que desejamos ouvir da pessoa amada.

HE CAN DO NO WRONG. THE DELIVERY OF HIS WORDS AS WELL AS HIS SENTIMENT REMAIN INTACT ALL THRU THE CD.

Luis has a great voice and he always shows us his own talent by his soongs and his behavior. I'l like to buy his music in my country but it's not esay to buy and so expensive.
