Forever Amor : Our Love Affair with Freestyle Music
By : Marti Lopez
Saturday , May 13 , 2006 . There was a thunderous invasion at the UCF Arena in Orlando , Florida . Approximately 5,000 people invaded the UCF arena -- full to capacity , all in the name of Freestyle . The turnout of fans proved that this music has survived the test of time , which has spanned a good 20 years , and counting ! All of our favorites showed up to perform : Judy Torres , Cynthia , Lisa Lisa , The Cover Girls , Lizette Melendez , Johnny-O , George Lamond , Coro , TK7 , and Stevie B .
All of the performances were outstanding , not to mention the host , Joey Vega , a Latino comedian who had us rolling , the man was too funny ! Las Ladies de Freestyle all looked lovely . I am a straight Latina , but let me just say , Damn , those Cover Girls looked HOT ! And as for the men of Freestyle , aye Paaapii ! That goes for George Lamond , K7 - - all 4 of them , Coro and Johnny-O and Stevie
