This is quite exciting. Really love the rapport Joel & Matt seem to have & that as far as I can tell (I don't speak Spanish) but Joel seems quite humble.
Matt was a La Banda contestant. He made it as far as the top 41. He looked quite different then & was called Mateo Urrea .
Is appearing on this TV programme a big deal? It is produced by Univision
The fact Joel is so SO excited about and committed to the meet & greet he's arranging in CDMX is honestly giving me so much life at the moment and giving me a bazillion more reasons to adore him (not that I needed any I'm already totally on board with his entire everything) cos like:
. He's posted about it at least a zillion times in the last 2 days—this little cupcake is SO HAPPY AT THE PROSPECT OF SEEING HIS FANS IT IS SO BLOODY SWEET I CANNOT
. The amount of polls he's made to make completely sure he gets to see as many people as possible at a time that's most convenient for them rather than just being like "yeah this is the date I'm giving you, it's in 8 months time, if you can't make it tough shit" like wow my guy genuinely and actively cares about every single person and is going out of his way to make sure he gets to see as many of his fans as earthly possible just because he loves them like holy shit folks I cannot think of any other artist who would do this and put so much effort into making it a great experience for everyone. He's a goddam angel.
. It's literally next week. He's arranged it, he's doing it, it's all happening immediately, HE CANNOT WAIT, go and meet him if it's at all possible. ISTFG if I had the funds and a valid passport I would be on the next flight out to Mexico in a goddam muthaflippin HEARTBEAT.
. THE GODDAM PRICE. IT'S FIFTEEN QUID TO MEET **AND HUG** JOEL FRICKIN PIMENTEL BLOODY DE GOSHDARNED LEÓN. And just look at him, you just KNOW he would give the best softest warmest hugs of all time. You just KNOW.
. THE FACT HE SOUNDED GENUINELY APOLOGETIC FOR HAVING TO CHARGE FOR TICKETS . I REPEAT. HE'S CHARGING **FIFTEEN QUID**.
. "FOTO Y ABRAZO GARANTIZADO" — I swear my heart melted into nothing. When there are so many celebrities that do M&Gs but they're so goddam arsey about it, like they're too good for it, and they have all these rules about having to stand a certain distance away or not being allowed to even touch them, like their fans are full of The Pestilence™ or something. Yet, here's one-fifth of the most successful Latino pop group of the century lit-er-a-lee going "IDGAF WHO YOU ARE, IF YOU ARE AT MY MEET AND GREET YOU WILL BE **HUGGED** GODDAMMIT!!!" Just. Ugh. How. Incredible scenes here in the De León fandom. I'm living for it.
. The way he keeps on reiterating how excited he is about this, how much he misses his fans, how he can't wait to see everyone. I mean Jesus Christ, there's no way in the world I could go, there's no way I even really get to call myself a fan compared to everyone who's adored him and supported him for the last 8 years, nothing about this is For Me™—and yet the way his excitement about getting to spend time in person with his fans again is just so pure and real and MASSIVELY contagious.... It's really making me feel so loved and appreciated by proxy. I don't deserve this happiness that I'm not even directly experiencing!!
*sobs uncontrollably in Fangirl*
I hope so so so much that the whole event is a massive success and everyone has the greatest night and he gets back every single ounce of the love he's giving out, multiplied to the power of a bazillion—because honestly him and his fans genuinely deserve this, it's absolutely beautiful. He's such an absolute sweetheart and I just want soooooooooooooooooo many good things to happen for him, I can't wait to find out how it all goes. I can't even begin to tell you how much joy it's bringing me just thinking about how happy it's gonna make so many people, especially him.
I just have a LOT of feelings about this, okay???? A LOT.
& yes, I will include Joel, because why not? They are all ex CNCO now.
It won't surprise anyone but the one I would most like to see is Chris & Alan. I hope it happens one day.
Next it would be Erick & Aron Luix. Aron became such good friends with Erick & Chris that he felt like the 5th member of CNCO! I would also like to see Aron do something with Chris. Or them as a trio.
Another no surprise is Joel & Yoandri. I think they may have already done some work on something?
Richard & family. I did put Yashua but maybe he is just too problematic.
Zabdiel. Low key about this, (he is my least favourite) but I like Mar Lucas who has already worked with him.
Patricia (mamá de @Joel DELEŌN) vía Instagram... El tiempo pasa muy rápido. Parece que fue ayer que eras un niño y te encantaba dibujar en tu libro de arte y correr detrás del balón en tus prácticas de fútbol. Desde pequeño fuiste muy talentoso y brillante, destacado en todas las actividades dentro y fuera de la escuela. My son, today and everyday I celebrate and thank God for your life. May He protect and bless your coming and going both now and forever. I am so proud of you and all you have accomplished. I love you with all my heart. Happy 23rd Birthday 💙🙏🏼
