Songwriting Inspired Enrique Iglesias To Become A Singer

Enrique Iglesias talks favorites and songwriting with Ally

sat down for an ASK:REPLY session with several fans via webcam, including Ally, who freaked out after Enrique remembered bringing her up on stage during a show. Enrique talked about favorite songs to perform and his favorite part about touring, as well as how the songwriting process inspired him to become a singer.

“My favorite song to perform on tour, it depends,” Enrique explained. “Some nights is ‘I Like It’, but do you know what song I love singing live? ‘Tired of Being Sorry’, although I don’t do it a lot in the U.S.”

As for the best part about hitting the road, the pop star responded, “My favorite part of being on tour is actually the tour hours before the show, because you’re nervous and your adrenaline is running. I like being on tour. I actually like it a lot.”

On what inspired him to be a singer, Enrique said, “It was actually the songwriting process. That’s what got me into it. When I was a kid, like 13, 14, 15, I wasn’t the best, I wasn’t a good student. Actually, I was a pretty bad student, not horrible, but definitely not great. I couldn’t focus when it came down to studying, but I realized I could sit down and write songs for hours, and I could focus on that, and I loved it, so it really was the songwriting. If it wasn’t for me being able to write my songs, I don’t think I’d be singing.”

Enrique Iglesias’ Moment Embarrassing Moment: First Date Fart

sat down to chat with several of his fans via webcam for VEVO’s Ask:Reply, including Andy and Sam. The American pop singer talked about the first words to describe his music career were “blessed” and “lucky” and how his most embarrassing moment was passing gas in a movie theater while on a first date with a girl.

Enrique Iglesias talks about being blessed for having his music career and how a first date fart was his most embarrassing momentAsked about the word that describes his music career, Enrique cited “blessed” and “lucky”, explaining, “I say that because not a lot of people get to do what they love in life, and make a living out of it. I say this all of the time in my interviews, because if you were to ask me when I first signed my first record contract, I was just a year older than you, and if you would have asked me back then when I was 17-18 that I was going to be able to do this for 15 years, I would have told you that you were absolutely nuts. I don’t know what I would do without my music. The people that I love the most, the closest people to me, I feel bad for them because I always put my music and my fans first. They understand but it’s truly the two things that make me the happiest. I feel very lucky that I’ve had such a, I don’t want to say long career to sound too, too old, but 15 years to me in the music world is an eternity. For a lot of people it would be, but hopefully I’ll be able to do it (longer).”

Questioned about his most embarrassing moment personally, Enrique said, “I remember being on a date with this girl, I remember her name perfectly. I was in the movies, and I was watching ‘Basic Instinct’, and one of those quiet scenes in the movie, I farted really loud. It was pretty embarrassing, because when I asked her out on a date again, she didn’t want to go. I think that fart, it didn’t seal the deal.”

Enrique Iglesias Always Wanted To Fly Like Superman

Enrique Iglesias talks about the best advice he's been given and wanting to be Superman and fly

did an Ask:Reply session with several of his fans on VEVO, including one with Abeera from London. She asked the pop singer about advice he has been given, which led to his entertainment background with his father Julio, and his desire to fly and be like Superman.

On the best advice he’s been given, Enrique said, “It wasn’t so much advice. I wouldn’t be able to pick one single thing. It would be more like the way I grew up, so close in the industry, and being able to learn a lot. You learn mainly about people and to surround yourself with good people. People that tell you the truth. It’s so easy when you do what I do to be surrounded by people that just kiss your butt all the time. That’s how you lose touch with reality.”

Asked if he could have any supernatural power, Enrique quickly responded, “To fly. Undoubtedly fly. I wish I could fly. I always wanted to be Superman when I was a kid. Sometimes I even wear my underwear on the outside. My favorite superhero was Superman and a lot of times what I would catch myself doing, especially when I would get drunk, I’ll put on my pants and slip my underwear on after and I feel like Superman. That’s too much info, sorry.”

Enrique Iglesias Compares Songwriting To Fishing

Enrique Iglesias talks about writer's block, comparing songwriting to fishing

did an ASK:REPLY session with several fans for VEVO via video chat, including with Lilli, who asked the 37-year-old about whether he ever deals with writer’s block or if he has thought about producing albums for other artists.

Asked about how he deals with writer’s block, the pop star responded, “Look, I compare songwriting a little bit to, it might be a stupid comparison, if you fish you would know this. If you fish and you write songs, it’s like going fishing, you never know when you’re gonna catch a bit one. It can be nerve-wracking. You can be out in the studio for days and for months and it’s not so much writer’s block, but being able to write something that you feel good about, or that you feel is worth it, so a lot of times for me that’s what happens. I’ll always write songs, constantly, but it’s about writing songs you feel confident that you can go out there and you’ll be able to promote them and not get bored easily, that for me is the most important thing right now. When I say that, a lot of people don’t realize once you make a song you’re going to have to sing it thousands of times. You have to be sure you feel good about it.”

As for whether he would produce albums for other artists, Enrique responded, “I thought about that in the past, but it’s tough. I go nuts when I make my own albums, so I don’t know if I can handle my albums and this might sound greedy, but it has nothing to do with that, I just don’t.. I would lay back a little bit, and just concentrate on that artist I decide to produce.”

Enrique Iglesias: Latin Music Is Here To Stay

Enrique Iglesias

spoke with Billboard about how he used to cringe when hearing the words “Latin explosion” when he and Ricky Martin were experiencing big success in 1999. “It always used to be mind-boggling to me, because it almost always sounded like we were a fad and that we were going to disappear, and I never saw it that way,” the 36-year-old said after announcing a U.S. tour with Pitbull and Prince Royce. “Latin music and Latin artists are here to stay – whether they’re singing in English, Spanish or changing styles.”
