Talk:Juan Gabriel

message: I think it´s clear he´s the most succesful commercial musician in Mexican music history. Even Pedro Infante, Luis Miguel and other idols don´t have the "cross over" popularity of Juan Gabriel.
He´s a commercial singer-songwriter because there are "art" singer-songwriters as Fernando Delgadillo, David Haro, Lila Downs and others.

message: Since the article is locked, I suggest some changes, since I speak Spanish I know what the song titles mean, and how wrong some translations are:
* "He venido a pedirte perdón" ("I Have Come To Ask for Forgiveness") correction: "I Have Come To Ask You Forgiveness"
since pedirte(ask you) is referred to a she in a close personal form, also "Ask for Forgiveness" is "pedir perdón" without a referral subject.
* "Amor, amor es amor" (Love love is love"), a colon please!!! corrected "Love, love is love", but the first "love" is an addressing to a beloved, the other ones are plain and simple Love(the feeling).
* "Pero, ¿qué necesidad?" ("What's the Point"), Corrected: "But, What is the need?", since "What's the Point" is referred to a POV, and "que necesidad?" is for what is the need for minor problems in a sentimental situation, when the minor problems are nothing to love.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.247.28.7 (talk) 05:58, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

message: There haven been number of edits that mentions he has deceased, but there are no official statements from either his family or record label that has confirmed that he has died. Many sources that are claiming that he has died all cite a single reporter (Joaquín López Dóriga from Televisa). Please do not repost that he has died unless his family or record label has confirmed it. His death has been confirmed by a coroner and the Mexican president. Disregard the previous message.

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Juan Gabriel's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

message: § Personal life and death begins "Juan Gabriel was never married." But while I was searching for evidence in the cited source that the mother of his first four children (acknowledged though illegitimate) was named Guadalupe, I watched a couple of the videos included in reference LatinTimes.  I'm nowhere near fluent in Spanish, but I figured I'd be able to recognize the name if I heard it, and I didn't, so I tagged the name . 
What I did hear was one of the two women in the conversation say, in describing the communications and relations between father and son, "su hijo legítimo" ("his legitimate son"), stressing the adjective emphatically with her voice and a raised index finger.
Can someone fluent in Spanish please check that video?
I have linked to this section from .
Please  me to discuss. --Thnidu (talk) 04:24, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
