I first took noticed of Thalia when i watched a Mexican telenovela, Maria Mercedes. The novela was a huge hit not only in her home country but also in counties like USA, Spain, Indonesdia, China and in other 180 countries. Apparently it has been seen by 1 billion people! Including me of course. She was known as Queen of Telenovelas and a tender age of 24, she is the high paid actress in Mexico.
Thalia did venture into the English market in 2003 following the likes of Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, but failed to make the impact that she wished for. Her song, I Want You features Fat Joe only managed to peak at 22 at the Billboard Hot 100 charts. But it did go all the way to #1 in Japan. In the video, it can be seen that they are trying to market her as the next Jennifer Lopez (with all the ghetto Bronx looking in the video)
I didnt care much bout her music until my US spanish loving friend introduced her latest album at that time (2005) to me, El Sexto Sentido (The Sixth Sense). To date, its one of my fave spanish albums of all time. My fave songs from her album were "No Puedo Vivir Sin Ti" (I can't live without you) and this featured track "Un Alma Sentenciada" (A sentenced Soul). It's such a hot hot ballad. A MUST listen!!!
