Good music, terrible organization, started an hour late and got even worse from there...
I'm a huge fan of tejano music, I've seen all of the greats all across the state of Texas. I had great expectations for this awards show and man was I disappointed !! It was apparent that the behind the scenes people were just ALL over the place. Bands introduced two and three times, and introduced some that never came out at all, everyone missing there q's, it was comical by the end of the night !! It should be to no supprises that's the last Tejano Awards Show I ever go to.
Disappointed with lack of ceremony coordination. Experienced late start, dead air space, confusion during ceremonies. Spent lots of time waiting for guess speakers, music entertainers, and MCs to arrive at podium. Lots of empty seats, paying guests noticeably leaving early. Left ceremony at 11:00 p.m., when another lapse in unused time. Won't spend that kind of money for table seats or travel again. Other paying guest at our table from different areas of Texas expressed same disappointment. Can honestly say, been there, done that.
It was great, Good music, great performances by all artists. The weather afterwards was not good due to the thunder, lighting and rain when we were ready to leave but we can't control mother nature. Thanks.
THIS IS MY 4TH CONVENTION THAT I HAVE ATTENDED AND IS BY FAR THE BEST ONE .SAN ANTONIO IS THE PLACE TO GO IF YOU LIKE TEJANO MUSIC. PLUS THERE ARE ALOT OF DIFFERNT THINGS TO DO AND PLACES TO GO. STAYED AT THE HYATT REGENCY WHERE ALOT OF THE ARTIST WERE STAYING.
Here's some thoughts from my spouse - a diehard Tejano fan for the last 50 years. Where were some of these great artists? Why weren't they nominated: Los Palominos, Ramon Ayala, Joe Posada (on the list in the program book but did not appear), Duelo - (so hot right now and strange that they were not nominated), Juan P. Moreno and Marcos Orosco. Hope next time you showcase all the Tejano talent! Should there be a different way to choose the nominees? Let's not miss out on these other great artists so Tejano music won't die!
Show was spectacular. Attendees have to be reminded of the expected quirks when watching a live show. The stars (most of them anyway) were extremely gracious and mingled with the crowd. Many of them were so patient and allowed fans to take photos, etc. without the hooplah of a security entourage.
The show itself was a star studded event that had me on my feet and whooping for my favorite musicians and later had me deep in my seat fighting back tears as Emilio announced his return to Tejano Music while hugging his brother Raul on stage. The tejano talent made the event a amazingly memorable event and well worth my time and effort to attend. My only criticism was in the organization of the event. The paying public were kept outside the municipal auditorium until just minutes before the scheduled start of the event. In 90+ dgree weather - folks were crowded in the park accross the street, folks were crowded into the patio area in front of the auditorium, and folks were crowded around any area with shade because the doors didn't open until minutes before the scheduled start. Once the doors opened, the public was only allowed into the lobby. Folks who actually went into the auditorium area and found their seats were asked to leave and go back into the lobby. That happenned twice as I stood in the lobby crowded elbow to elbow with hundreds of others. We were finally allowed to take our seats 15 minutes before the scheduled start time then the show started 10 minutes late. Several times during the show, there were akward moments when things went wrong and everything just stalled. The first act was announced 6 times before anyone showed up on stage. Paul Rodriquez add libbed and killed 15 minutes during one of these stalls. The base speakers went bad half way through the show and just caused an annoying vibration any time loud music was played. The teleprompter was placed where attendees could easily block it causing more problems for the presenters. Finally, the sound technician had an extremely difficult time working the sound settings causing the volume and mix of many performances to migrate wildly. Sometimes the background was all you could hear then the singer was all you could hear, then the mix would be corrected only the have the volume go too far up and those bad base speakers ruin things again. I know this was a real headache to put together and these things just happen, however there were too many and they caused a real distraction. If not for the Tejano stars that attended and made the evening such a memorable one, I would not return.
i hope next year it will top this years show and hope to see the old timers sunny ozunna little joe augustin ramirez after all tejano is what is cuase of them
This was a unforgetable experince for many yrs to come. From Emilio taking over the stage to the Mafia, and not to mention the love and rememberance the TMA has for Selena and her family.
The music, atmosphere, and presenter were all great!!!
The Tejano Music Awards 2010 was amazing, fantastic. Lots of surprises. Aside of some glitches, being tapes for television later, it didn't take away from the show. Paul Rodriguez was so, so, don't really care for his type of humor, I plan to attend every year from now on.
The show was absolutly amazing. I loved the Selena tribute, Paul Rodriguez was hilarious, and I will be going to this event every year from now on.
The Show was great. There was to much downtime. It needs to have better bands. Also better organization.
I enjoyed all the wonderful artists at the Tejano Music Awards, but David Archuleta's performances were standouts! His elegant "No Me Queda Mas" was stunning . . . and his "Como La Flor" duet with Pete Astudillo was such a heartfelt tribute to Selena that it, too, brought cheers from the appreciative audience. Selena would love David's beautiful voice. passionate delivery & dedication to music! <3
This was my first attendance at the Tejano Music Awards and I absolutely loved every minute!!! Great performances, loved the music and most especially the Emcee. I was unfamiliar with Tejano music; however, the awards sold me on the music. Will be on my list to listen to. Looking forward to the next awards.
Paul Rodriguez was great, the performance was great. However the type of seating was not as expected. It was autiditorium seating. It was difficult to see the show with the person in front of me. I think the seating should have been all tables. Everyone would be at eye level. Futhermore, it was uncomfortable seating next to one another unable to get in and out of your seat.
The Selena tributes were wonderful and Paul Rodriguez was a hoot. The best surprise was Emilio Navaira performing with his brother. We had great seats - two of the nominated and honorees were at our table. All the celebrities were very approachable and so nice - the red carpet and limo arrivals really turned up the excitement level pre-show. One strange/bad taste idea - why was Paul R. pushed to the stage in a wheelchair - we didn't get it?
Loved the whole show, but my favorite was when the Selena Tribute included David Archuleta, he sang "No Me Queda Mas" and duet with Pete Astudillo, "Como La For". What an amazing performer!! Over all I really enjoyed the whole event, so many talented Tejano artists!!
