EX-CNCO Musical Output up to and Including June 2024

(presented without comment but with lots of love)

Joel: Diamante

Zabdiel: Chuliera

Richard: Embelesao

Erick: Co-wrote Hipnotizado by Aron Luix-Luix

Christopher: Did a singalong in his car on Kick the other week. #NailedIt #URWelcome

Seriously though, whatever Chris and Erick have got cooking for themselves individually (or even as a duo, who knows at this point?!) I think our collective face is gonna melt off when they finally unleash it...

[virgatowhipped]

Just got home from the Ultra VIP experience, so I'll give you guys a summary of the day:

My sister and I got there around 11am and got in line (we were 18th &19th). Shortly after we arrived we heard Erick shout "Que quienes somos?!" from a hotel window at us, and we all looked around to try to find him 💀 We made friends with the two girls in front of us and after we got our wristbands with our numbers on it, we were told we could leave and be back by 1:45 to line up for the event. We went out and got food with the girls, went back to the venue, and then waited in line again until they let us into the room around 2:30. They gave us food and drinks and the boys came in around 2:45. RICHARD WAS THERE 🥹🥹🥹 They started off singing Reggaeton Lento (Richard and Zabdiel had each other's mics on accident and had to switch when they realized lol). Then they played La Equivocada, Mamita, Plutón, and ended with La Última Cancion.

The Q&A section was next (they had us fill out a sheet with our names, where we live, and our question while we were waiting for our wristbands). They answered 12 questions and pulled them from a bowl randomly, and Chris pulled my question 😭

My question: what's the biggest lesson you've learned over the last 8 years together?

He couldn't say my last name, so I had to help him with it and then he kept repeating my full name and it was super cute 🥺 But his answer was basically communication, and then halfway through, he switched to Spanish because I think he was having trouble expressing himself in English, so idk what else he really said, but it felt so great having him acknowledge me 🥹 (And after reading the question he said, "That's deep.")

And afterwards came the m&g and surprisingly, I wasn't very nervous when my turn came. I gave them their gifts, and then I told Chris, "Remember I asked you what your favorite cake was on Twitch?" He was like, "Oh yeah." Then I told him I tried to make the cake and messed it up, so I bought a slice from the store lmao. But he said thank you, then we took the picture and I stood between Chris and Zabdiel. Then I said thank you to Chris again and we hugged tightly, and he said, "thank you for coming, mi amor, gracias" and he kissed me on the cheek 🥺 Then I hugged Richard and I tried to tell him how happy I was for him because of the baby, but I was so awkward about it, but he said, "thank you, baby" 😭 Then I hugged Zabdiel, and then I hugged Erick, and I told him that I really loved his boots (they were white combat boots) and he said, "Thanks, I love your beanie," cause I was wearing my Déja Vu beanie 🤗

Anyway, it was a short, but fun experience, and I'm so happy I was fortunate to live it 🥹

P.s. Chris, Richard, and Zabdiel all called me baby so I'm 🥲

[justmyblogworld]

these are really cute!

I heard from @redlightsstopsigns that CNCO has faded into erick being an influencer on instagram and chris being a twitch streamer. I feel like it is talent that has been wasted. I would like to apologize to the former CNCO fandom that saw all of this happen. I don’t blame anyone for leaving them. we deserve more with the love and support we give them. I think it’s better if the CNCO boys retire from music, go to university and get normal jobs.

[imgloriaa]

Isn’t it funny how every single member of CNCO is not releasing music? and nowhere to be found?

i always said disbanding wasn’t productive for any of them. see? now they are not releasing music because they probably came to terms with the fact we will only like cnco’s (the actual band) music and not theirs. zabdiel flopped. richard’s debut was awful. erick is probably doing normal 23yo stuff and chris… is being chris. bring the band back is the only logical answer.

[xrichukix]

Poor Erick 😂

[cnco4ever]

I am sorry that it took me so long, but i have now posted my Zabdiel one shot. It took me a minute, because i was really mad at him.

Are any of you still interested in new writings about any of the boys?

Then please let me know and requests are always more than welcome too! 🙏🏼

[landofwonderrr]

random question, but....

Has anybody been confident and or bold enough to DM any of the guys? If so, care to share what you said?

[oh-star-how-the-mighty-fall]

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the drama with CNCO disbanding and the drama between Zabdiel and Richard. Of course, we don’t know the guys personally so this is all my own opinion:

I definitely don’t think Zabdiel had any bad intentions towards the other guys when resigning with WK (okay we don’t know for 100% sure that he resigned with them, but all arrows point to yes, based on Richard clearly being upset). I think WK told him what he wanted to hear and has promised him success and has already started enticing him with invitations to events and things. It seems that with the Talitha thing and now this, Zab seems to see the best in people and to believe them. I wouldn’t say he’s naive, but just maybe a bit too trusting? I think in both cases (Talitha and WK), they knew what they were doing/saying in order to keep Zab with them, and doing whatever they could to make sure that happens. I’m not making excuses for Zabdiel- I think Richard has every single right to be upset, and I agree with him. I would be upset too. To see your brother re-sign with a team that has done nothing to help you succeed? I wouldn’t be okay with it either. However Zab isn’t the kind of person to do things to spite others. I think he’s the victim here. He fell into their trap and I really really really hope he doesn’t get cast aside after the honeymoon period wears off and end up with a tanked career like Joel.

So I think the outcome of all this will be either 1.) WK will end up tanking his career and he will have to quit and find someone new (aka repeating CNCO’s mistake), 2.) they’ll make him super successful and he will have no reason to get back with the boys if the other 3 do want to, 3.) all four will have successful careers and none of them will want to reform CNCO (I guess this is the next best thing if they aren’t going to reunite), or 4.) they all will flop and we won’t get much from any of them (which is the absolute worst case scenario that I’m praying doesn’t happen), 5.) maybe they all will have a bit of success with solo stuff but ultimately realize (including Zab) that their true heart is being in a group and get back together, which is my personal preference. Or- maybe they could reunite as a group but also do a bit of solo work on the side at the same time, as many artists do (though I can’t see WK allowing Zab to do that).

One thing is certain though. And listen closely please:

We should do all we can to make sure the guys’ solo careers don’t flop! Whether you’re upset at Zab for sticking with WK or not, he still deserves success and so do all the other boys. They deserve to be paid fairly, to be promoted well, etc, and although we don’t have any control over that, we DO have control over the amount of streams they get and ticket sales if they do solo shows, etc. All the stuff we do have control over, I hope we show the boys that we still will support them wherever they end up!

The blame fully rests on their terrible management team for treating them SO badly that the guys felt that the only way to fix things is to break up, thus breaking apart that magic that they all have as a group. I just saw them perform live for the very first time last week and I knew they were talented from watching online performances, but this was a whole different level! Their harmonies were magical together and I will never forgive WK for ruining what they had. Especially now that they seem to be treating Zabdiel well, it’s so messed up because they HAVE to be fully aware that they’re not treating them all like that. The guys deserve SO much better. So no, I definitely do not think Zabdiel should have resigned with WK, but it’s likely that he did and we should still support him because he is incredibly talented and doesn’t deserve his career to flop. And I hope he and Richard heal their friendship and realize their bond is stronger than the drama.

Here are a few screen caps from their stories recently of them genuinely hugging/smiling at each other before one of their recent shows, which gives me hope that things will get better between them:

[boundtobreakk]

The Orlando show on Friday night was so much fun, but the Miami show on Saturday will forever be a core memory for me. I had the time of my life singing and dancing. All of the emotions of them breaking up really hit when they performed La Última Canción on Saturday because I knew it was the last time I'd ever see them. l'm forever thankful for the fun moments and the friendships they've brought me and they'll forever hold a special place in my heart 💛 Clara was so sweet and recorded my meet and greet moment, so I'm going to go watch that on loop and cry some more 🥹😭

[spevvy]

Although the fact I finally leapt on the CNCO train almost four weeks to the day after they officially split up is 100% on brand for my rotten luck, I'm very fortunate to have ADHD and so I have spent the last four weeks trying to cram 8 years' worth of fandom into my brain, with a level of success that has impressed even myself.

Things that especially give me extra dopamine about these doofuses:

. We don't have time for all the things I love about that idiot Vélez but I'll come back to him in a moment. In any case, let me tell you, he's such an amazing human being that I'm not 100% sure he's even real.

Stop it this instant please (don't you dare)

. Watching the official videos and still being constantly astounded at Rich's wardrobe. This is split into two levels of incredulity—a) "What the bleedin ell has he got on this time?!", and b) "There wasn't enough budget for a shirt for the poor sod again, eh?" (NB: There is rarely any budget for a shirt for Rich in any video, the poor love. Let Rich Be Warm™, FFS!) Both a) and b) are particularly evident in the Miami video, where the Rich's Shirt budget appeared to have been spent on a granny scarf. For his hair. Obvs. Because of course.

Legit son, what the fuck, did you lose a bet or something, lad?? 👀 It's like when Stewart Granger was in films in the 40s and 50s and he'd wear increasingly bonkers outfits scene after scene but he had absolutely zero confidence issues so he just owned everything like of COURSE he was gonna rock the hell out of it. Oh to have a thimbleful of Richard Camacho's self-confidence!!!!

. Every. Single. Time. I. See. Joel. Pimentel. De. León. The. Only. Thing. I. Can. Think. Is. "CABELLITO AZÚUUUUUULLLLL!!!!😭😭😭"

Never has the loss of a toy blue horse (is he just trying to not say My Little Pony, or???) ever been so heartbreaking to me 💔💔💔 Bless that small sweet boy, I just want to protect him, he takes up that one hidden sliver of maternal instinct I have lurking somewhere!! 🥹🥹🥹😭😭

. Chris' hair during the CNCO album era totally gives trans butch lesbian vibes. No I will not take questions on this. Yes I'm way more into it than I can possibly explain in polite company. Stop it, Christopher, I'm already bi. Totally here for my inadvertently genderfluid monarch.

I just want her to slam me into a wall and call me a good girl I don't know what to tell you.

. Erick Brian Colón is the visual representation of iron fist in velvet glove. He may have the face of a little angel and the biggest greenest most beautiful eyes since the invention of green - but that kid is brutal, folks!!! BRUTAL!!!!!!!!!!!

"Guess who just got MUUURRRDEEERRRRREEEDDD!"

. Two words. Lengua kiss.

Zab, sweetheart, you said it perfectly. You couldn't have improved upon it, thank you for blessing us with your lengua kisses, we are grateful.

. The amount of clever camera trickery and stage choreography involved in showing Chris actually dancing as little as possible. Before any of you come at me over this—I'm not saying Chris can't dance, I'm saying they cut around him and they do it consistently enough that it's hilariously obvious they're doing it. One of my favourite examples is in the Vevo Lite performance of Reggaetón Lento, where they just show his left elbow. Oh honey. (I marked it with a pointy finger to help you out)

I have a few theories about this but it's probably because his hips are so wiggly that if they showed them doing their thing on screen they couldn't have marketed the band to kids and that's a giant drop in revenue before they've even started. Not that I've made a study of his wiggly hips. Honestly.

. I have, however, made a very careful study of that lip-lick-into-lip-bite thing he does, and have come to the conclusion that HE is nsfw. Him. Himself. Alone. With no help. He just oozes it. Holy fudgeballs (probably). He's 100% that one guy who would openly flirt with an empty bag of crisps. "Hola, paquetito vacío de papas fritas, seguro que parece que ha pasado un tiempo desde que tuviste papas fritas dentro de ti..... te apetecería??!?!?" Seriously son, give it a rest, we're all pregnant now.

I swear to god you wouldn't be able to sit down for a fortnight. Fucking bloody hellfire. Is probably how it would be. OOOOFFFFFFFFF......

. I have literally lost count of how many times I've seen 4Ever in the last four weeks. I mean genuinely I cannot remember. I stopped counting at 12. There is no particular reason for this. I can't imagine anything that keeps my attention so solidly.

It's beautiful. I've been looking at this for five hours, now.

. "Que quiénes somos? YOU ALREADY KNOW!" My guys this has been my very problem with artists announcing themselves on their songs for at least the last decade, thank you for addressing the pointlessness of this activity but doing it anyway, I love you for it.

(Can he not? Does he ever take a day off??)

. Bringing back 90s boy band dancing with a level of aplomb I haven't witnessed since approximately 1998. And yes, I do remember. I was 15 in 1998, I was very much the target audience. Anyway, watch Mis Ojos Lloran Por Ti, it's the most authentically 90s thing I've seen since actual 90s boy band music videos.

White shirts AND white vests with black trousers in an abandoned building? ALL THEY NEED IS RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also the rap section of Mis Ojos Lloran Por Ti sounds EXACTLY like the rap section of Mysterious Girl by Peter Andre. It does. Go on, check for yourselves, I'm right about this.

. Tóxica. Just. Omg. Tóxica. It's beautiful. I dunno whose idea it was to do an acapella arrangement, but I hope they always hit the green light in traffic, because wow. What a song. (here it is if you're unfamiliar with CNCO, you've read this far, and you've never heard the song before. Even if you have, it's always worth another listen!)

Honestly it gives me proper goosebumps every single time, it's THE dopamine song for me, it just does all the things to my brain all at once. I was listening to all their songs on shuffle and all of a sudden I heard this one and I just stopped dead in my tracks like "holy SHIT what the hell....this is... this is stunning!" Like THAT was the moment I was like yep that's it folks this is MY band now, these are MY boys, they've got me for life whether they like it or not, I'm theirs, they're mine, that's how fangirls and musicians go, my guys (gender neutral).

. I am obviously not a native Spanish speaker nor am I 100% fluent in speaking, but after 4 weeks I've managed to learn a significant portion of their back catalogue and I am so goshdarned proud of myself. By comparison it's taken me about 5 years to learn most of Morat's back catalogue and I've been in the fandom since just before Balas Perdidas dropped.

Okay fine I have a whole different set of distractions with Morat (goddammit Monchi!!!!), we can't compare them, and it's not a "which band is better" thing at all cos I refuse to choose between any of my boys because they're MY BOYS. It's just nice from a personal viewpoint to feel like my Spanish level is now at a stage where I can pick up new lyrics to songs quite quickly!!! I feel like my Spanish has really improved in the last month and these doofuses are 100% to blame and I adore them for it and so many other things.

Suffice to say, I may be way too late to the party, but I think I get to be at least an honorary CNCOwner at this point. Without the smallest shred of doubt I know that I am retroactively CNCOwned, at any rate.
