\"\u00a1Q\u2019Viva!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a1<\/span>Q\u2019Viva! The Chosen<\/strong> is a new reality-based television series that searches for authentic, genuine and talented entertainers throughout Latin America \u2013 from Mexico and the Caribbean to the tip of South America. Along the way, superstar artists, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony and acclaimed show producer and choreographer, Jamie King; identify, select, and ultimately chose talent to perform in a final Las Vegas extravaganza at the Mandalay Bay Events Center – this past May. The show performers literally are: The Chosen.<\/p>\n

\"\u00a1Q\u2019Viva!<\/h3>\n

\u00a1Q\u2019Viva! The Chosen Live<\/h3>\n

The spectacular show debuted Saturday, May 26, 2012 with the creative genius of King directing the live production. King noted, \u201cThese authentic and vibrant performers were selected from a pool of thousands of Latin artists we scouted from 21 countries.<\/p>\n

\"\u00a1Q\u2019Viva!Our final selection of 50 performers represented the best of Latin artistry, music and dance.\u201d<\/p>\n

In particular, the live show represented a transformation of a variety of authentic, cultural talent into a Latin American celebration like no other ever seen before. \u201cThe beauty of \u00a1Q\u2019Viva! is that talent and artistry transcend language,\u201d King noted. \u201cWe\u2019ve found some of the most captivating performers from all over the region and just as I\u2019ve experienced, despite not speaking Spanish or Portuguese, their stories will resonate with everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Lopez and Anthony headlined the show and performed together at perhaps one of the grandest celebrations of Latin music and performance arts ever. For Lopez and Anthony, who went from married to divorced during the concept and filming, the show visibly demonstrates how the two work together to benefit their cultural roots and their love of Latin music. \u201c\u00a1Q\u2019Viva! has been an incredible journey for us,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cIt fulfilled our vision to share and celebrate the people, the culture, the music and artistry of Latin America through this global broadcast. And now, \u00a1Q\u2019Viva! The LIVE show is the culmination of that journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\u00a1Q\u2019Viva!<\/h3>\n

\u00a1Q\u2019Viva! The Chosen \u2013 An Epic Journey<\/h3>\n

The three show producers, along with American Idol creator Simon Fuller, have succeeded in creating the biggest new international television hit of 2012. \u201c\u00a1Q\u2019Viva! is one of the first network shows ever to broadcast simultaneously throughout the Americas in three languages,\u201d according to Simon Fuller. \u201cWith over 30 million viewers in total already and more than 4 million people watching in the US in both English and Spanish language, this has been an extraordinary experiment. The \u00a1Q\u2019Viva! Story will continue to grow throughout 2012 as more and more countries sign up to broadcast the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\u00a1Q\u2019Viva!<\/p>\n

Marc Anthony quickly distinguishes The Chosen from other talent-based competitions, especially where only one winner emerges. The show is unique because there is no single winner. \u201cThere\u2019s been a misconception that \u00a1Q\u2019Viva! is just a talent show,\u201d said Anthony. \u201cWe\u2019re not judges. We\u2019re show producers. We\u2019re putting together a live show and we\u2019re documenting the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\u00a1Q\u2019Viva!<\/p>\n

Jennifer Lopez brings her beauty, talent and charm to the show, as well as her love and emotional connections with everything Latina. \u201cThis is a passion project on so many levels,\u201d said Lopez. \u201cIt\u2019s really our dream to see it come together. I believe that people will be so enlightened, so enriched by this experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

With another mega-hit on his hands, Simon Fuller couldn\u2019t be happier. \u201c\u00a1Q\u2019Viva! is a celebration of the Americas, the diversity, the optimism and the extraordinary richness of the culture. It\u2019s an incredibly ambitious and challenging undertaking, searching out exceptional talent from every country in the region took months of planning and preparation,\u201d commented Fuller. \u201cEvery time I\u2019ve travelled in the region, I\u2019ve been blown away by its beauty and the potential of the people. Music and dance runs through the veins of everyone. \u00a1Q\u2019Viva! will reveal to the world just how much exquisite and pure talent exists in every corner of every country.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
