Certified Latin Platinum by the RIAA. (2/01)

Latin crooner-dreamboat Luis Miguel reached a creative impasse on his last studio album, 1999's Amarte Es un Placer, which simply recycled the same swooning sounds and themes of his previous collections. Vivo, Miguel's latest live recording, includes five songs from that mediocre album, but Miguel manages to inject them with a surprising vitality. He shines on the medleys, which feature 17 songs from Miguel's three albums of smoldering love songs. Even the most canned studio recordings ("Como Es Posible a Mi Lado," "Quiero") come alive onstage, thanks to Miguel's wonderfully rich and expressive voice. Vivo also includes two previously unavailable tracks, "Y" and "La Bikina." Miguel brings a passionate energy to both mariachi classics. The album's biggest testament to "Mickey's" talent, however, is his fans, who scream, sing, and swoon from beginning to end. --Joey Guerra
