IGLESIAS NO MILLI VANILLI
Performance On "Howard Stern" Placates Shock Jock… But Just Barely
Three days after shock jock Howard Stern first aired a purported recording of Enrique Iglesias that suggested he couldn't sing, the 25-year-old vocalist appeared Thursday on Stern's morning radio show to prove he can carry a tune.
And while some listeners called in to complain that the performer still waffled on some high notes, Iglesias sang well enough to pass the test, at least as far as Stern was concerned.
"I was trying to find out if he was Milli Vanilli. He is not. He sings his own records. He came in here and proved it," Stern said.
Iglesias booked himself on Stern's show after the radio personality broadcast a tape of what was purported to be an off-key Iglesias caterwauling his way through his hit single "Rhythm Divine."
