[edit] Neutrality Disputed

Frankie has sustained a lot of criticism throughout his career, most from his Hispanic roots. Since he was of Latino descent, Pop wasn't ideal for him to do. When leaving Los Kumbia Kings in order to purse his dream, he lost a lot of the Hispanic audience(source?). "People said I turned my back on my roots but I would never do that."(source?) He would gain most of Latino fanbase back after releasing albums like "The One" and "Un Nuevo Dia." (source?)

Frankie was also once told he should keep to his own kind and sing with a mariachi. Though he loves his culture and mariachi music; keeping to his roots is important to him but he says he wasn't about to quit trying to put a lid on the soul he had in his heart.

Mun2(?) representatives stated that Frankie J was a new breed of singer for the Latino Community. "He has done incredible things, he has paved the way for the future of others who want to follow in his footsteps. He didn't fall in line with the rest just because he was of Latin heritage, he dared to do something different... even though he was criticized over and over again, he stuck to his guns and he might of changed the way a lot of Latinos view R&B and Soul. That's why we have the greatest respect for him."(source?)

Throughout his career, Frankie has never lost sight of his Latino background, even as he crossed over to the English-speaking market with smash hits like 2005's platinum-selling The One album. He remains committed to the integrity of his Latin heritage and his Pop musical roots. "You have to stick to your roots," Frankie offers. "You can't forget about them. If you forget about your people, they will definitely forget about you. You have to pay back those who were there when you started. If I lose that, I won't be able to do what I've always wanted to do."(source?)

It looks like it was ripped off from an article or something. Either the section should be removed, or rewritten. These "new breed of singer" or "put a lid on...his heart" stuff could also be fan-written.--Jw21/PenaltyKillah^{(discuss•edits)} 05:10, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Agreed.

And done. Ridiculous stuff. No sources, no objectivity, no point. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Accius (talk • contribs) 05:16, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
