Talk:Enrique Iglesias

I find lots of this as being dealing in mere trivialities!

ONE F HIS GREATEST FANS EVER MR SHARATH NAIR!(KAYFIE) A small minority of Filipinos are also Latinos, and so, it is unscientific to argue about whether they are or they are not. It is a fact that the Philippines were a Spanish colony for centuries. It is also true that for a long time, the Philippines where not ruled directly from Spain, but rather via the Spanish Viceroy in MEXICO, or all places. The Spanish made lots of trans-Pacific voyages to maintain contact and trade between Mexico and the Philippines.

It is also notable that there is a sprinkling of Spanish words in the Filipino national language (such as the word for "ice"), but there are far more English words in it, from the American influences. The US took a much more active role in the Philippines, with the active goal of preparing the Philippines for independence, which was established on July 4, 1946, a date that had been promised well-before even the Japanese occupation of 1942-45. The Philippines and the USA agreed that the original plan could be carried through on schedule, in spite of that interruption in progress.

People who argue about his citizenship obviously do not understand the BIG difference between a U.S. Permanent Resident (i.e. a holder of a so-called "green card") and a U.S. citizen. Also, someone can be a Permanent Resident who is applying for U.S. citizenship, or a Permanent Resident who intendends to hold that status indefinitely, e.g. until the end of his/her life, and to remain a citizen of another country forever. Both of these are quite allowed under the laws of the United States of America.

I also find it foolish to discuss whom he does or does not date, becasue that is his own personal business. When he marries someone, that becomes a public, legal fact.

==Enrique's mother is not a Spanish Mestiza. She is a Filipina. ===I agree, she is not technically a mestiza because according to her website, because her father is only a filipino. and her mother is of malay descent.

---

Changed 'married to' in 'currently dates' since this is a gossip rumor. It is not confirmed that Enrique married Anna Kournikova.

Enrique is a Hispano Filipino not a American Filipino! (And he is NOT a Latino (-;)

I actualy agree with you that Enrique is not Latino. He is from Spain and Spain is not a Latin-American country. Most people however mistakenly view Spanish people as being "Latino" including Enrique himself in recent years. Rather than rock the boat I think it'd be best to just keep his desription as being Latin. (Someone would come change it back anyway.) Besides Enrique is far more popular in Latin America than he is or ever will be in Spain and arguebly spent more time in South and Middle America, plus he often used to say he considered himself to be more Mexican than Spanish.

Enrique's blood is Spaniard (from Spain) and Filipino (from the Philippines) ancestry, please don't change the facts. Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.104.191.216 (talk) 14:54, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Somebody ask about his passport, because I think it's Spanish rather than American, regardless of where he lives. (If you keep the bread in the garage, does it become a car?)

Enrique is a legal US resident. (Despite claiming otherwise in a few interviews). He's legaly lived in the US since he was six years old. After he returned to the States after recording his first album in Canada there was some trouble at the border. It was all sorted out and his passport was supposedly been said to have been a US one. [This is questionable]He is puto maricon come pinga hijo de puta q se valla para la pinga :((((

A legal resident of any country does not carry a passport of that country, as this would mean he is a citizen of the country, and therefore no longer merely a "permanent" legal resident, but rather, and actual citizen of that country.

How is the relationship from Enrique Iglesias to the Philippines?

--Intramuros 14:39, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

His mother, Isabel Preysler, is from the Phillipines, although she has lived in Spain for a very long time. She's noted for marrying well and Ferrero Rocher chocolate adverts.

Should Enrique's genre be changed to just read "Pop"? I don't want to sound strange but does Enrique's music really qualify as latin? His first three Spanish albums were simply pop albums sang in Spanish. Ironicaly Enrique first started incorporating some latin styles on his first English album but it was still mostly what most would describe as pop. He also included some more traditional latin sounds on some of the songs from Quizas but again it was still mostly pop.

Just because Enrique is Spanish and has dabbled in Latin music does it make him a Latin artist? After all, Whitney Houston has recorded some Gospel songs but is she then classed as a Gospel singer?

Enrique was born in Madagascar.

Enrique Iglesias is,indeed, latin.But not the idea of latin you have in America,I'll explain it. Many of you think that being latin is a race or ethnicity but you are wrong. Latin is an spanish word. Being latin means that you speak a language origined by latin ( the dead language of the Romans ) like spanish, Italian, FRENCH, ROMANIAN and PORTUGUESE. It's not about the skin, the eyes, the lips or the hair. It's just a damm spanish term to include all the people that speaks a language heritage of latin,that's all. There's no race called latin. Here in Spain we are 75 percent Caucasic,25 percent jews ( maybe u don't know that's also a race ) and 5 percent gypsis. That's why people that speaks french or romanian as native language are latins too. In the case of Enrique Iglesias, he is a mixture of Caucasic or Jewd on his father side and Filipino on his mother side. When will you learn that latin is not a race. It's like If I call you Germanic cos english evoled from that old language. The problem is that it's easier for you to say that every person that speaks spanish is latin cos in LatinAmerica there such a mixture of races you would drive yourself crazy.Other problem of english is that you don't have a unique word that allows each country of LatinAmerica that's why you use the word spanish for every country and that's another mistake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.153.5.228 (talk) 01:18, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Citizenship

What is the proof that he is a U.S. citizen?? Ciociabasia 21:59, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

That question is what drew me here and it has not been answered. Is this hottie an American or not?????--69.37.3.59 20:59, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

I remember him saying in one interview that he has working-visa, so he actually isn`t American citizen

All right, you heard that interview, but you provide no references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.38.138.58 (talk) 01:55, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Well actually the burden of proof is on proving that he is an American citizen. Not on proving that he is not. I think all references to that should be removed until a source is found supporting the claim. - ^Estoy_Aquí^{(t • c • e)} 19:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

I have added that the Maltese citizenship that he helds is only an honorary one, as per source article. As far as I know, neither he nor his father and brother have applied for US Citizenship, despite being long term US residents. It might have to do with the fact that Spain, so far, does not allow dual nationalities and they would have to renounce to the Spanish nationality completely.Amj1967 (talk) 22:45, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Whatever source is used for this must be reliable. I didn't see the cited source as reliable, so I've removed it pending provision of such a source. Rodhullandemu 22:57, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

To take part in a such ceremony, he would have to "relinquish all loyalty he has to a foreign King, Price, Emporor....or other of the same category" or something like that. I'd love to see it happen, then the media across the Iberophonic world would have so much dirt to write about. He hates the King. He loves Chavez. I dont it happening. Merely for being born, I am only guessing he could choose to be a National of the Philipines.....or maybe even Israel. Does anyone have actual news?--85.164.222.162 (talk) 00:51, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Label Change

Has Iglesias changed to Geffen Records? His offical site has a Geffen logo, and he is on the offical Geffen Records site. Has he changed? User:Beagle5589 4:09 P.M., August 14, 2006.

It's not a label change per se, Geffen is part of the Universal Music Group and is owned by Interscope. For a while it was dissolved completely into Interscope but for various business reasons now acts more independently from Interscope. So I guess we can either leave it as Interscope or change it Geffen (or put something like Interscope/Geffen). - 2006 82.42.209.144 03:55, 3 December 2006

Pre-GAN Comments

This article is currently a GA nominee. However, what will inhibit this article to getting GA status is due to no references; only external links. Please provide sources before any official reviewers will come to your way and might fail this one. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 09:40, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Quick-failed GA nomination

First, please note that the GA nomination was not completed, as the {{GAnominee}} template was not placed on this talk page. It was however, nominated at the nominations page. Any article that has "a complete lack of reliable sources" must be failed immediately and does not require an in-depth review, according to the quick-fail criteria of GA. The GA criteria unequivocally requires that nominated articles maintain good standards of verifiability, and provide,

"...references to all sources of information, and at minimum contains a section dedicated to the attribution of those sources in accordance with the guide to layout" and "at minimum, provides in-line citations from reliable sources for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons"

Not only does this article lack inline citations, it has no references to reliable sources. References should be laid out in a separate section, and citations to these references provided where necessary. The lack of source material is especially unconscionable considering that it is the biography of a living person. Please provide references according to the guidelines of WP:V and WP:RS and carefully review the GA criteria before choosing to renominate the article. If you feel the result of this review was in error, you may request a reassessment. Thanks for your work so far, VanTucky ^talk 19:02, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Also I removed GA templates to reflect that this article has not yet been through the proper process. David Pro (talk) 15:19, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I find this article too full of unnecessary bias and trivias that do not contribute to a real encyclopedic content under wikipedia standards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.11.38.122 (talk) 07:22, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

This article is missing more information there is more to enriques life.

I have found no issue with this article, because many other sites, even the Ask Encyclopedia (http://www.ask.com/music/artist/Enrique-Iglesias/169286) has very little on his early life besides what is stated here. I doubt there are even records of his early life currently, despite his middle (possibly high) school education and where he went to college.

origin

Miami, Florida, United States. this is not his origin, just where he lives now, he is spanish Filipino I thought.. Reaper7 (talk) 11:09, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Original research

The article asserts:
This album's production year is mistakenly listed as 1998 by iTunes and Window Media Information (via Windows Media Player). This can easily be seen by going to iTunes and searching for the album or playback of the physical CD on either iTunes or Windows Media Player. The mistaken production year was most likely inserted as 1998 due to the fact that this was the year Enrique Iglesias was signed by Universal who bought out all his projects from Fonovisa, now known as Univision Records and re-released all his prior albums under the Universal label.

Supposedly Enrique has released/will release a new single off the re-release of Insomniac.

Two and a Half Men

[1] I changed the mention of him in Two and a Half Men from Cameo appearance to guest starred. From my understanding of what a cameo is and checking the article appears to concur with this, it's not a particularly accurate description of his role. For starters, he was credited AFAIK. More importantly, cameo implies a very brief appearance in the episode (or whatever) whereas his character was actually a resonably significant part in that episode (even if irrelevant to the series). I also don't see any reason to mention Charlie Sheen is in Two and a Half Men. People can check the article if they're interested. I replaced it with the role he played in the episode which while not important, does clarify that he wasn't playing himself. Nil Einne (talk) 18:41, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
