metacafe.com— The story goes that Enrique's sound guy got tired of the charade and recorded his vocals during the performance. The horror starts about 50 seconds into the clip.

The actual story behind this came out a few years ago on the Howard Stern show. Most of the shows they play on just don't have the ability to have live performances so they lipsync to their song. Enrique was singing like that as a joke on the sound guy (since he would be the only one to hear it). Howard wanted Enrique to prove that he could actually sing, and so Enrique played a few songs live at the show.
It's exactly what he was doing. I don't care for the guy's music whatsoever, but the guy really can sing and he proved it on Howard's show. Unfortunately, it's so long ago that it's going to be hard to find.

The horror! He probably wasn't trying all that hard since it appears to be playback, but still.

He was singing like that as a joke on the sound guy? I don't buy that for one second. Anyone have a link to the stuff he sang on Stern?

Stern recap of the day they found that tape and played it for the first time and it continues on the next few days until he actually comes in and sings on the 8th. <a class="user" href="http://www.marksfriggin.com/news00/6-5-00.htm">http://www.marksfriggin.com/news00/6-5-00.htm</a>
