I look at my father's image and the words that come out of his mouth. We are very different in that way. That's not the way I want to live my life." Read more.

March 1, 2004 - Catherine Bigelow of the San Francisco Chronicle reviewed the Enrique Iglesias' show at Oakland's Paramount Theatre on Tuesday (February 24). Bigelow said, "In concert, Iglesias elicits the frenzied screams of Frank Sinatra's bobbysoxers. He channels the braggadocio of Bono, the bravado of Bryan Adams, the sexiness of Tom Jones, the sensitivity of Bobby Sherman, the Tiger Beat cuteness of Tony DiFranco. He's crossed the pop cultural bridge from tabloid factoid to red-blooded American pop star hottie.

Harrington added, "Iglesias is one performer who knows how to have fun. More important, he knows how to include the audience in the good times." Read more.
