"Vivir" starts out strong with the romantic "Enamorado por Primera Vez" and then moves on to "Al Despartar," an intense ballad with a rock flavor. Then comes "Lluvia Cae," a bubbly, fun song that Enrique tears into with total commitment. Other notable selections on the CD are the intense "Miente" and the stirring "Revolucion."

Although Enrique has gotten a lot of attention lately for his English-language "crossover" work, I find his most compelling songs to be the type of Spanish language songs found on "Vivir." This is an outstanding CD, and an essential choice for fans of Latin pop.

I cannot believe that anyone could find this man's voice irritating. I am not a teeny bopper (far from it in fact), I can't speak spanish (although I can translate it after a few listens), but I have found this album great. Listening to it over and over. What I like about it the most is the way he performs the songs - the emotion in his voice is clear for anyone to hear and this makes each song a performance rather than just a sing-a-along. It makes a refreshing change from the karaoke-like rubbish that we are continuously bombarded with by others

Enrique has come a long way; following the footsteps of his father, Julio. In fact Enrique's voice truly has the uncanny familiarity of Julio - sexy, sultry and very romantic. He is the modern version, of course. I love his music and play his CDs all the time - his music is very soothing and puts you in a relaxing mood, especially when listening to his songs at night. Keep singing fantastic music Enrique as I know your music will live on forever.
