I love how these idiots are still bringing people together

Although the fact I finally leapt on the CNCO train almost four weeks to the day after they officially split up is 100% on brand for my rotten luck, I'm very fortunate to have ADHD and so I have spent the last four weeks trying to cram 8 years' worth of fandom into my brain, with a level of success that has impressed even myself.

Things that especially give me extra dopamine about these doofuses:

. We don't have time for all the things I love about that idiot Vélez but I'll come back to him in a moment. In any case, let me tell you, he's such an amazing human being that I'm not 100% sure he's even real.

Stop it this instant please (don't you dare)

. Watching the official videos and still being constantly astounded at Rich's wardrobe. This is split into two levels of incredulity—a) "What the bleedin ell has he got on this time?!", and b) "There wasn't enough budget for a shirt for the poor sod again, eh?" (NB: There is rarely any budget for a shirt for Rich in any video, the poor love. Let Rich Be Warm™, FFS!) Both a) and b) are particularly evident in the Miami video, where the Rich's Shirt budget appeared to have been spent on a granny scarf. For his hair. Obvs. Because of course.

Legit son, what the fuck, did you lose a bet or something, lad?? 👀 It's like when Stewart Granger was in films in the 40s and 50s and he'd wear increasingly bonkers outfits scene after scene but he had absolutely zero confidence issues so he just owned everything like of COURSE he was gonna rock the hell out of it. Oh to have a thimbleful of Richard Camacho's self-confidence!!!!

. Every. Single. Time. I. See. Joel. Pimentel. De. León. The. Only. Thing. I. Can. Think. Is. "CABELLITO AZÚUUUUUULLLLL!!!!😭😭😭"

Never has the loss of a toy blue horse (is he just trying to not say My Little Pony, or???) ever been so heartbreaking to me 💔💔💔 Bless that small sweet boy, I just want to protect him, he takes up that one hidden sliver of maternal instinct I have lurking somewhere!! 🥹🥹🥹😭😭

. Chris' hair during the CNCO album era totally gives trans butch lesbian vibes. No I will not take questions on this. Yes I'm way more into it than I can possibly explain in polite company. Stop it, Christopher, I'm already bi. Totally here for my inadvertently genderfluid monarch.

I just want her to slam me into a wall and call me a good girl I don't know what to tell you.

. Erick Brian Colón is the visual representation of iron fist in velvet glove. He may have the face of a little angel and the biggest greenest most beautiful eyes since the invention of green - but that kid is brutal, folks!!! BRUTAL!!!!!!!!!!!

"Guess who just got MUUURRRDEEERRRRREEEDDD!"

. Two words. Lengua kiss.

Zab, sweetheart, you said it perfectly. You couldn't have improved upon it, thank you for blessing us with your lengua kisses, we are grateful.

. The amount of clever camera trickery and stage choreography involved in showing Chris actually dancing as little as possible. Before any of you come at me over this—I'm not saying Chris can't dance, I'm saying they cut around him and they do it consistently enough that it's hilariously obvious they're doing it. One of my favourite examples is in the Vevo Lite performance of Reggaetón Lento, where they just show his left elbow. Oh honey. (I marked it with a pointy finger to help you out)

I have a few theories about this but it's probably because his hips are so wiggly that if they showed them doing their thing on screen they couldn't have marketed the band to kids and that's a giant drop in revenue before they've even started. Not that I've made a study of his wiggly hips. Honestly.

. I have, however, made a very careful study of that lip-lick-into-lip-bite thing he does, and have come to the conclusion that HE is nsfw. Him. Himself. Alone. With no help. He just oozes it. Holy fudgeballs (probably). He's 100% that one guy who would openly flirt with an empty bag of crisps. "Hola, paquetito vacío de papas fritas, seguro que parece que ha pasado un tiempo desde que tuviste papas fritas dentro de ti..... te apetecería??!?!?" Seriously son, give it a rest, we're all pregnant now.

I swear to god you wouldn't be able to sit down for a fortnight. Fucking bloody hellfire. Is probably how it would be. OOOOFFFFFFFFF......

. I have literally lost count of how many times I've seen 4Ever in the last four weeks. I mean genuinely I cannot remember. I stopped counting at 12. There is no particular reason for this. I can't imagine anything that keeps my attention so solidly.

It's beautiful. I've been looking at this for five hours, now.

. "Que quiénes somos? YOU ALREADY KNOW!" My guys this has been my very problem with artists announcing themselves on their songs for at least the last decade, thank you for addressing the pointlessness of this activity but doing it anyway, I love you for it.

(Can he not? Does he ever take a day off??)

. Bringing back 90s boy band dancing with a level of aplomb I haven't witnessed since approximately 1998. And yes, I do remember. I was 15 in 1998, I was very much the target audience. Anyway, watch Mis Ojos Lloran Por Ti, it's the most authentically 90s thing I've seen since actual 90s boy band music videos.

White shirts AND white vests with black trousers in an abandoned building? ALL THEY NEED IS RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also the rap section of Mis Ojos Lloran Por Ti sounds EXACTLY like the rap section of Mysterious Girl by Peter Andre. It does. Go on, check for yourselves, I'm right about this.

. Tóxica. Just. Omg. Tóxica. It's beautiful. I dunno whose idea it was to do an acapella arrangement, but I hope they always hit the green light in traffic, because wow. What a song. (here it is if you're unfamiliar with CNCO, you've read this far, and you've never heard the song before. Even if you have, it's always worth another listen!)

Honestly it gives me proper goosebumps every single time, it's THE dopamine song for me, it just does all the things to my brain all at once. I was listening to all their songs on shuffle and all of a sudden I heard this one and I just stopped dead in my tracks like "holy SHIT what the hell....this is... this is stunning!" Like THAT was the moment I was like yep that's it folks this is MY band now, these are MY boys, they've got me for life whether they like it or not, I'm theirs, they're mine, that's how fangirls and musicians go, my guys (gender neutral).

. I am obviously not a native Spanish speaker nor am I 100% fluent in speaking, but after 4 weeks I've managed to learn a significant portion of their back catalogue and I am so goshdarned proud of myself. By comparison it's taken me about 5 years to learn most of Morat's back catalogue and I've been in the fandom since just before Balas Perdidas dropped.

Okay fine I have a whole different set of distractions with Morat (goddammit Monchi!!!!), we can't compare them, and it's not a "which band is better" thing at all cos I refuse to choose between any of my boys because they're MY BOYS. It's just nice from a personal viewpoint to feel like my Spanish level is now at a stage where I can pick up new lyrics to songs quite quickly!!! I feel like my Spanish has really improved in the last month and these doofuses are 100% to blame and I adore them for it and so many other things.

Suffice to say, I may be way too late to the party, but I think I get to be at least an honorary CNCOwner at this point. Without the smallest shred of doubt I know that I am retroactively CNCOwned, at any rate.

(ya tú sabes😉)

it’s a reference to one of the Rocky movies. I think he’s still excited about his prank telling people it was a fight. 🤣

[perocuandobebo]

It’s available in the US too! I’m about five minutes in and so far my review is I’m mad about Richard’s hair.

ok i’m done! i’ve seen it all! i’ll come back with my opinion in a couple of days so i’m not doing spoilers for anyone 🩷

[perocuandobebo]

I’m not sure why Chris happily jogging a figure eight is so funny to me but I’m legit cackling right now 🤣 what excellent hype men!

🥹🥹 we love to see it

[perocuandobebo]

Not gonna lie, I had assumed Disney canceled the CNCO series when they did all the layoffs but maybe it’s actually going to be released??

Also the song is cute! It feels younger than a lot of their more recent stuff - which makes sense for Disney - but it’s sweet. Primera Cita vibes with more mature vocals.

[perocuandobebo]

Aaaaah it was such a good night! Tbh I was expecting to maybe be a little underwhelmed based on how shitty their team has been with promo but whoever designed the production did a great job and the boys gave an amazing performance. And the crowd was loud enough that the empty seats weren’t as obvious (and I’ve lost my voice whoops).

I also learned they have at least one competent person on their team because when they accidentally brought two girls up for Primera Cita they found a second bouquet. Chris’s “oh thank god” look when he realized they were handing him two was hilarious and I’m sad I didn’t get a video. 🤣

@perocuandobebo I hope you have the best time seeing the boys tonight❣️

[perocuandobebo]

Awesome, thanks! I have all my fingers crossed that they won’t cancel any more dates. Aside from sucking for fans it can’t be fun for the guys either to know that the tour isn’t selling well. =/

Was CNCO selling merch at your tour date? I’m debating ordering something during the sale but I’d rather get an Última Cita tour item if they’re available. (Assuming my date doesn’t get cancelled 😬)

Yes, they were. They were selling a hoodie (which sold out extremely fast), a t-shirt, a tote bag, and a hat. They just weren't accepting cash and idk if that was the venue preference or it's tour wide, so I would advise having your bank card or using apple/Google pay. I really hope it doesn't get cancelled. It really sucks that we've had to put up with this anxiety of not knowing, and I especially feel awful for fans who have no other choices besides the one venue because everything else is too far away

[perocuandobebo]

This nonsense has me refreshing every five minutes to find out if the Chicago show is cancelled. I’m cautiously optimistic since it survived this first round but it’s got a ton of unsold tickets. =/

(also idk why I’m surprised that WK/their tour promoters and bookers are incompetent but this is such a basic part of managing musicians and if any of the boys sign to WK for their solo careers I’m giving up on them)

Well, the Fresno show got cancelled 🙃

[perocuandobebo]

Not quite that much, he got 41 months in prison + three years supervised release. But this all started because he was under investigation for other crimes so he could potentially end up with more prison time if those lead to convictions. He and his lawyers made some really dumb decisions that worked against him on the firearms charges so I’m kinda morbidly curious to see how they’d handle anything else.

Do you know if pina is still locked up? Have they given him his sentence yet?

yes he is!! i believe he’s sentenced to 5 years

[perocuandobebo]

I remain convinced CNCO is splitting because otherwise they’re stuck with WK and I need them all to make smarter business decisions about who they sign with as solo acts or I’m going down to Miami to yell at them.

I love how there is a whole a hate account for Walter on TikTok & Instagram like we be really attacking this men as we should because he did nothing but gave up on Joel and the boys

Right? We need to call that man out as much as possible, as well as his company for how he runs it and the mistreatment of his artists. And this honestly needs to be a thing for all of these huge record companies that date take advantage and make false promises to the artists they sign. It's truly disgusting. Joel is so frustrated from not being able to release his music that he might put it out over SoundCloud. I just hope all the boys find their way to a great company that truly takes care of their artists and don't collect a majority of the profits

[perocuandobebo]

The only nomination for any WK artist is a Mexican regional song with a Maluma feature so as usual I think we can blame shitty management. At least on the anglo side campaigning is a big part of it and Clara & co are not that organized.

Okay but how is CNCO not get nominated for the Latin Grammys like it’s rigged let’s just say

they haven’t been nominated right?? i’m honestly surprised they haven’t :( and i really thought they were gonna keep pushing forward until they won the grammy

[perocuandobebo]

I’ve listened to XOXO all the way through at least three times now and I can’t decide if I like it or not. It almost feels like a first draft? Like there are songs missing. (And I still hate the La Equivocada remix holy shit who talked them into that??) My main takeaway is I need the boys to do Citizen Queen’s XOXO tiktok dance… preferably multiple times so we get to see them all doing the “Dior on my hips” part. It would be way more interesting promo than just reposting girls half-assing the Pluton dance.

[perocuandobebo]

I’m like… 99% sure this breakup is happening because they don’t own their name or logo and can’t come to an agreement with the people who do. Which gives me hope for future collabs as solo artists but it sucks that it’s not really their choice.

Also if any of them sign to WK for their solo career I’m going to fly to Miami and yell at them.

Some of the things that CNCO said in their latest interview with Zane Lowe. ( Sorry if any of them are repeated)

[perocuandobebo]

This is stressing me out more than Erick posting stories of himself driving 😬

No motorcycle gear at all.. not even a helmet?

Guys, you're better than that

[perocuandobebo]

YES this was so anticlimactic lol

Zabdiel the producer.

I'm so happy for him 👏🏻👏🏻

[perocuandobebo]

our long national nightmare is over 🙌

HOLD ON.......CHRISTOPHER HAS BROWN HAIR?
