When Camila decided to go the solo route I can't say that I
was all that surprised. She always had a certain je ne sais quoi that set her apart from the pack, (dating back to her beginning days on The X-factor). Now, don't get me wrong I think the other ladies from Fifth Harmony are talented as well, but Camila seemed to march to her own beat. If leaving the group behind and going solo is
what fills her heart, then I support it 100%. After all, life should be about
doing what makes you utterly happy and staying true to yourself. I believe in Camila's solo path, not only because she's had a lot of success recently, collaborating
with the likes of Shawn Mendes, Machine Gun Kelly and Cashmere Cat, but because
she's passionate about her Latin background. What does that tell us? Not
only can she make hits in English, but the fact that she's
bi-lingual tells us that she can tap into a whole new market, make new fans, sell
more albums and become one of the next great cross-over artists. Let's take a quick stroll to the past. Who's been able to slay the American, English market and the Spanish language market simultaneously? Gloria Estefan. She is the most successful cross-over artist to-date with
hits like Conga and Bad-Boy. She was definitely a trail-blazer. Think about it? She wouldn't have a Broadway show dedicated to her life story if she didn't deserve it! Then there's my personal favorite, the one and
only Selena Quintanilla. Not only did she dominate the Tejano market in the
early 90's, (with numerous best-selling Spanish albums), but she also ultimately
had a great cross-over album; Dreaming of You.
