[edit] 2008 Latin GRAMMY Awards

It has been said that the new Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at LA Live will be the official venue of the Latin Grammy Awards. This is across the street from the Staples Center, the home of the GRAMMY Awards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.237.214.244 (talk) 15:12, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleaned Up & Updated

OK fellas, I cleaned Up this page on the Latin GRAMMY awards to be better organized and more relevant following last nights show. Can someone continue updating that chart with the wins by nation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.237.214.244 (talk) 20:47, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shakira did NOT win 5 Awards in 2006: PLEASE STOP

She won 4. She was not an engineer on her album. Best Engineered Album is awarded to the ENGINEERS!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.237.214.244 (talk) 19:58, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Someone reverted the edit about Shakira. Again SHE DID NOT WIN 5 IN 2006!!!!! IS SHE AN ENGINEER? NO SHE ISN'T SO STOP RIGHT NOW. GO TO THE LATIN GRAMMY WEBSITE AND SEARCH HER NAME. SHE DID NOT WIN 5 IN 2006. SHE DID NOT RECIEVE BEST ENGINEERED ALBUM

[edit] Neutrality

I don't think COUNTRIES compete on this event, but individuals artist and musical groups. I think the real winners should be placed instead of the missinforming data about countries. --F3rn4nd0 21:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I fixed the chart of countries

There was a mixtape between Gutamela and Peru, data was inverted (Peru won in 2002 and 2005 - Peru Negro and Gian Marco, Guatamela in 2001 and 2006, with Ricardo Arjona)

[edit] Univision and Telemundo are European, that's it!!!

"It was the first primarily Spanish language prime-time program carried on an American network television". (Great paragraph, it deserves a Pullitzer) But... So what the funk Univision and Telemundo are? European? --Ornitorrinco 15:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Something doesn't add up...

You say it was created and shown on air for the first time in 2000, but then you go on to say that the 7TH ANNUAL show was in 2006. Please explain.

1st: 2000, 2nd: 2001; 3rd: 2002... Someone needs to learn math. 68.111.54.121 03:35, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The "Latin" Controversy

The Latin Grammys represent works of achievement in music of Spanish and Portuguese speaking artists. However, the term "latin" indicates the language that originated in ancient Rome. When speaking of latin peoples, it refers to people of countries who speak a language that is derived from the original latin. Therefore all Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese speaking artists and countries should be included in the Latin Grammys. "Latin" refers to all people with origins to any of the romance languages listed above. The "Latin Grammy Awards" should come to include Italian and French artists because they too are "Latin" If Italian and French cannot be included, then it has been suggested that the name be changed to "Hispanic Grammy Awards". The misuse of the term "latin" is upsetting to some and has become a rising issue for debate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.120.243.154 (talk) 00:22, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

This talk page isn't the place to debate the issue. If, however, you have suggestions of reliable sources to meet Wikipedia's standards for verifiability to show that this is a notable controversy, then the discussion becomes germane to the purpose of an article Talk page.

Latin America is the name of the Spanish speaking part of the Americas and Brazil. It is for historical reasons, not semantics. 68.111.54.121 03:38, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
And what about Amérique Latine (Latin America in English) by Napoleon III. Thats includes French speaking as well. T Rex | talk 23:55, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
