5 Things You Didn’t See on TV at 2025 Premios Juventud

Grupo Firme, who nabbed the Best Mexican Banda Music award for “El Beneficio De La Duda,” not only visited Panama for the first time, but also gushed over their performance of “Súfrale” with Gloria Trevi. “She is a very respectable lady but she is very easy-going, we had a great time,” frontman Eduin Caz said at the blue carpet. His brother, Jhonny Caz, agreed: “She can easily form part of Grupo Firme, she matches our vibe.”

Ahead of her performance of “Da Me” at the 2025 Premios Juventud, Bad Gyal talked about feeling like an honorary Latina. “I’m a big fan of Latin music and from the Caribbean since I was little,” she told Billboard. “It’s the music I’ve connected with the most. For me it is something very physical, very corporal, and it entered by body since I was very little.” The Spanish artist said her favorite reggaetón artists are DY (formerly known as Daddy Yankee) and Don Omar.

At the blue carpet, where she talked about her recent experience at New York Fashion Week with artist boyfriend Peso Pluma, Kenia Os also teased her upcoming studio album, inspired by one of her obsessions. “I’m working on my new album, ‘Mi Perfume,’ which is about to come out,” she said. “I’m just finishing the final details. It’s coming out really nice; it smells delicious. I’m the biggest perfume fan; I own like 150!” The Mexican pop star won the girl power award for “En 4,” her collaboration with Anitta.

Eddie Lover expressed his love and gratitude for Karol G at the Premios Juventud blue carpet. “It was a blessing,” the Panamanian artist said of their collaboration “Dile Luna.” “A lot of people were confused, they thought it was a remix [of my original song] ‘Luna,” but no, it was totally brand new. I feel very grateful to Karol for inviting me to participate in her ‘Tropicoqueta’ album.”

While some might debate where if reggaetón music has its roots in Puerto Rico or Panama, De La Ghetto arrived at the blue carpet to give his opinion. “The first reggae song in Spanish was El General,” the Puerto Rican artist said before singing a bit of “Te Ves Buena.” “I was a kid in second grade. What Nando Boom, Renato, and El Rookie did later evolved in Puerto Rico, but reggae in Spanish, reggaeton, its beginnings, were in Panama, and then Jamaica.”
