Gomez doesn't have anything particularly new to say about twenty-two-year-old Nuyorican singer and actress Jeannie Ortega, except that we were surprised to find out that some of our closest Latino friends had no idea who she was. Shame.
Miss Ortega looks like all the chola girls who used to beat Gomez up in middle school, but that's where the similarities end. In reality, Miss Ortega is a talented songwriter, singer and actress from Bushwick, who decided at the age of eight to make the big time, but has now been trapped in the MTV ghetto where excellent Latino mainstream artists are sent to watch their careers die before they get off the ground.
Gomez think it sucks that MTV has stupidly relegated Miss Ortega and her excellent English-language pop to their Spanish-language music video network MTV3. Gomez wonders whatever happened to Kat de Luna and Paula de Anda, the two who escaped said ghetto.
Gomez wonders when segregation will end in the music industry for the vast majority of US-born Latino performers. Gomez also wonders when Pitbull will reveal the secret to his success (Mother Goose books). Gomez wonders about a lot of things. Don't you?
