πΆ My Soy Luna Season 1 Rewatch (Part Four ~ Ranking EVERY Open Music Performance) π
Let's celebrate this week by grabbing our microphones and taking the stage! π€π
This SECOND to last Soy Luna season one re-watch post is ALL about the Open Music performances, which are some of my FAVORITE things about Soy Luna! πΆπ
I haven't re-watched season three, yet! π But, from what I remember and from having already re-watched seasons one and two, I am pretty certain season one has the MOST Open Music events! π΅π€
In season one, there were EIGHT Open Music events! ππ Some Open Music events had specific themes and rules and some were more freestyle! πΆ
For this post, I really wanted you to get the FEEL of what it was like to watch EVERY Open Music event and you wouldn't be able to get the true feeling of each event if I split up EVERY performance by ranking them because you would be seeing different performances from different Open Music's, which wouldn't give you a clear view as to what ONE entire Open Music event was like to watch! π WOW! If that wasn't a run-on sentence, then I don't know what is! π Hopefully, that made sense! π€
Basically, I'm going to share EVERY Open Music event with you first without editing out some of the talking scenes before and during the events, which will show you what it was like to watch EVERY Open Music without anything being ranked! π Then, I've put each performance into FOUR different categories and will rank them amongst those categories! πΆ
It sounds confusing, but I promise this is going to be SO much FUN! π
So, are your mics ready? π€
Testing... Testing... 1... 2... 3...
Let's do this thing! πΆπ
ππΆππΆππΆππΆππΆππΆπ
Before we WATCH all of the FUN Open Music events, let's hear some of the characters explain what the Open Music's are! π
So, are you ready to see these events for yourself? πΆ Let's hit the stage! π€
I will be sharing each event in the order they were aired! π
Open Music #1
Theme: Freestyle
Open Music #2
Theme: Freestyle
Open Music #3
Theme: Chicos vs. Chicas (Song Mix)
Open Music #4
Theme: Battle of the Bands
Open Music #5
Theme: Random Open
This Open Music required EVERYONE participating to draw colored balls out of a bag and whoever drew the same colored balls had to perform together! π Matteo, Luna, and Simon drew the same colored balls, but you won't see Matteo perform with Luna and Simon because he pretended to be sick so that Luna and Simon could perform together for Simon's last Open Music (at the time Simon said he was going back to Mexico and this was going to be his last Open)! πΆ
Open Music #6
Theme: Solo Edition
Open Music #7
Theme: Group Edition
Open Music #8

ππΆππΆππΆππΆππΆππΆπ
In my FIRST re-watch post for season one (here), I shared only ONE Fab & Chic video because I wanted to save the rest for this post! π
Fab & Chic is the channel that Jazmin and Delfi run together and MOST of their videos shown during the episodes are of them discussing the events that happened at Jam & Roller! π₯π They shared the MOST about the Open Music events! π€πΆ
Let's see what Jazmin and Delfi had to say about FOUR of the EIGHT Open Music events! π
ππΆππΆππΆππΆππΆππΆπ
So, now that we've seen EVERY Open Music performance the way they were shown during the episodes and we've heard Jazmin and Delfi's opinions on some of them, it's time for you to rank them yourself before you see my official ranking! π Usually, you don't see ANY of the performances before I rank them and so I figured it would be FUN to do your own little ranking to follow along with mine since you've seen EVERY performance! π΅
MOST of the performances on my official ranking are the YouTube versions where the talking has been cut-out and more of the performances are shown, but they didn't upload EVERY performance to YouTube without the talking! π’ So, some performances I've had to try and cutout the talking myself, but I wish they would have uploaded EVERY raw version of each performance, but I'm HAPPY that they uploaded some raw versions at all because I didn't even know those existed before doing these posts! π
So, if you want to take some time and do your own little ranking, I've split the performances up into FOUR categories to make it easier to rank them! πΆ
The FOUR categories are...
π Solo Performances
πΆ Duets
π Trios/Bands - Most of the time the band performances were trios, but sometimes the Roller Band did perform with one extra person, but I still consider those to be more of trio performances! So, I've just thrown ALL the band and trio performances together into one category! π
πΆ Group Performances
I'll give you some time to rank ALL of these INCREDIBLE performances if you want to! π
ππππππππππππ
Do you have your own lists ready? π€ It's OKAY if you don't because you might be here just to see mine and that's about to happen... right NOW! πΆ

(from least to most favorite)
SOLO PERFORMANCES
#5 - Corazon (Cato)
Honestly, if this performance was a bit longer, it would have ranked higher than this! π When the music picks up, Cato brings ALL the energy and he sings with such passion! π This song seems like it was made for Cato because to me it's always been an "interesting" song... a little on the weird side... but those words fit perfectly with Cato's character! π This performance is SUPER short, but I'm glad Cato performed at an Open Music event because he seemed to really enjoy being on stage! πΉ
#4 - A Rodar Mi Vida (Acoustic - Yam)
Honestly, I would have put Cato's performance above this one because his was more upbeat and this one is pretty slow, but his was too short! π€ Also, this one is calming to listen to and sometimes it's nice to see an acoustic performance! ❤ Chiara's (Yam's) voice is SUPER unique and it shows with this performance! ♪ There isn't too much to say about this performance because there's not much to it, but it's still a solid solo performance! ❤
#3 - Cuando Bailo (Ramiro)
This is the VERY first Open Music performance EVER of Soy Luna! π Ramiro brings ALL of his energy and confidence to the stage and gives a GREAT performance mixed with singing, dancing, and beatboxing! π€ I LOVE upbeat performances like this one and Ramiro's dancing ALWAYS makes me laugh for some reason because it's unique and FUN to watch! π
#2 - Profugos (Gaston)
#1 - Tengo Un Corazon (FelicityForNow - Nina)
This is the LAST Open Music performance of season one and Nina's ONLY solo performance of the series! π This is a special performance because Nina reveals that she is FelicityForNow, but before that she sings this SWEET song and comes out of her shell on stage! π€ It's FUN to watch Nina perform this song dressed up like Felicity and to watch Gaston be SO excited to watch her perform! π She seems to be having FUN performing and even though this song isn't too upbeat, there are still some dance moves incorporated into the performance! π
Which SOLO performance is your FAVORITE? π
TRIO/BAND PERFORMANCES
#10 - Corazon (Electro Power)
This song is EVERYWHERE! π This band didn't have any main characters in it and was just a band that came in for a few episodes! πΈ This song isn't my MOST favorite, but I do LOVE the little guitar solo in this performance! π I like how this band uses electric guitars and how this performance gives off some slight 80's vibes! πΈ Again, the song choice isn't my FAVORITE, but they put their own twist on it, which is GOOD! π
#9 - Camino (Roller Band ft. Daniela)
I like this song a bit more than the previous one, but it's still NOT my favorite! π I LOVE the Roller Band, but NOT Daniela's character! ✖ Also, this performance isn't very long and there's mainly just a lot of talking during it! π€ But, I do still LOVE seeing the Roller Band on stage and it's still a performance I'd watch more than the previous one! π
#8 - Un Destino (Roller Band ft. Flor)
Un Destino is another one of my FAVORITE songs from season one and EVERY single time I hear it I begin singing "Un Destinoooooo" for the rest of the day! π This performance is only low on this ranking because they mainly just stand there and sing, which is FINE, but I feel they could have had a bit more energy on stage! π I still LOVE this song, though, which makes this performance GREAT! ♪ One of the main reasons I LOVE this song SO much is because Gaston's (Pedro's) voice really shines throughout it and I feel his voice is SUPER underrated! π
#7 - Un Destino (Jim & Nico & Yam)
YAY! Un Destino again! ππ Even though I LOVE Roller Band's original version of this song the BEST, this performance is more FUN to watch because it has more energy and dancing! π It's FUN seeing Nico perform with Jim and Yam and ALL of their dancing is in-sync and they seem HAPPY to be on stage! π
#6 - A Rodar Mi Vida (Jim & Ramiro & Yam)
As much as I enjoyed watching Nico perform with Jim and Yam, it just feels RIGHT to see Ramiro as the official third member of the trio! π I can either be vibing with this song or be VERY annoyed by it! π For this performance, I'm vibing with it! π ALL three of them bring a lot energy to the stage and Ramiro's confidence seems to pour over into Jim and Yam's performances too! π€ Again, Ramiro's dancing is funny and the little running man move in this performance is PERFECTION! ππ
#5 - Chicas Asi (Jazmin & Ambar & Delfi)
This performance used to bother me SO much because of the wind machine! π For some reason, I used to be SO annoyed with the wind effect, but it's not that bad... I guess! π It adds a FUN touch... I just think it shouldn't have been used throughout almost ALL of the performance! ❤ This song is SUPER catchy, though! ♪ The beat, the choreography, the sass, and the overall vibe of the performance is GOOD! ❤ I wish we would have gotten to see more of the performance without ALL the talking, but we do get to hear some of the same lyrics sung over and over again! π Good thing it's a catchy song! ❤
#4 - Invisibles (Pedro & Gaston & Ramiro)
This is a tricky performance to rank because it's SO short and is interrupted by A LOT of talking! π’ But, I ranked it here because when re-watching the season this time around, I completely forgot about this performance and it was EXCITING to see Pedro, Gaston, and Ramiro ALL sing together in boy band type style! ❤ Anything with Gaston's voice is an immediate FAVORITE! π€ But, like I've mentioned before, Pedro and Ramiro also have SUPER unique voices! ❤ So, the THREE of them together doing little boy band moves and harmonizing are some of the reasons this ranks higher than longer performances! ♪
Also, this is Pedro's ONLY performance of the season where he isn't playing the drums and is actually moving/dancing on stage! π❤
#3 - Vuelo (Roller Band)
There are TWO things to note about this performance! ✌ First off, this is another performance I completely forgot about before re-watching the season! π I ALWAYS knew Vuelo was the finale song of the season and I've ALWAYS loved the rooftop performance, but when they began to play this during the Open Music I got SO flippin' excited! π Again, the FINAL Open Music of the season is one of my FAVORITES and Roller Band singing this song is one of the many reasons why! π€
Sadly, this performance is SUPER short! π’ But, ANYTIME I watch this performance, it gives me ALL the feels! π The other thing I haven't mentioned is how I just realized that this is the ONLY Open Music performance that Roller Band is singing with just the THREE of them and not with one added person! π So, this is a true Roller Band performance and it's GREAT! π
#2 - Eres (Roller Band ft. Luna)
There is NO surprise that this performance ranks SO high! π Some might consider it more of a duet, but this was for Battle of the Bands and Nico and Pedro are still apart of this performance even if they're not singing! π€ Eres is one of my ALL-TIME favorite songs from the ENTIRE series! π I LOVE this performance SO much and it's the FIRST time Luna and Simon sing this song together! ♪ It's just SO stinkin' CUTE! π This song NEVER gets old and this performance won't either! π
Karol (Luna) sings this song a little different than the CD version and I LOVE both versions! π You can tell Michael (Simon) gets SO into the music and it's just sweet to watch them sing together! π It's definitely one of my FAVORITE Open Music performances! π
#1 - Valiente (Roller Band ft. Luna)
If you've seen my post where I ranked EVERY song from season one (here), then you know that Valiente was my number-one song from the season! π To me, it's one of the songs that represents not ONLY season one, but the ENTIRE series! π€ This is not only the FIRST Roller Band performance of the series, but it's the FIRST time Luna sings onstage, as well! π I LOVE how Simon dedicates this song to Luna, then motions for her to join him onstage! π I ALWAYS wished they would have added this version on the CD, but that's why this performance is SO special because it's the ONLY version of Roller Band singing it with just Luna! π
This performance is ONE of the most nostalgic and memorable performances of Soy Luna! ππ
Which TRIO/BAND performance is your FAVORITE? π
GROUP PERFORMANCES
#10 - Camino (Los Otros)
Honestly, these group performances were the HARDEST for me to rank! π There are little things about each group performance that I LOVE and it's hard to decipher between each performances little things which little things I like more! π For example, I LOVE the little choreography in this performance and how this performance makes me like a song that's NEVER been a favorite of mine from the series! π I never paid too much attention to this performance, but this time I DID and I was vibing with it and was like, "Oh! This is actually REALLY good!" ππ
Technically, this performance was apart of Battle of the Bands, but to me it counts more as a group performance because the people playing instruments in the back aren't main characters and were only there so that they could perform this song during Battle of the Bands! π€ I do really like this performance and it ONLY ranks last because the other performances have other little special things that beat out this performances little things! π
This was Los Otros' ONLY performance, but it was FUN while it lasted! π
#9 - Cuando Bailo (The Chicos)
#4 - I'd Be Crazy (The Boys)
I've LOVED this song and performance ever since I FIRST watched it! ❤ I get excited EVERY time I get to watch it again! ❤ And, guess what? I just realized I lied to you and to myself! π³ Remember when I said during the trio/band performances that the performance with Gaston, Pedro, and Ramiro was the ONLY time Pedro performed onstage without playing the drums? π Well, he's in this performance and he's not playing the drums! π It just shows that my memory isn't what it used to be! π¬ But, YAY! Pedro gets to dance again! π❤ That makes this performance even more special then because ALL of the boys are in it this time! ❤
At the beginning though, I hope someone made sure that none of them got whiplash from that head-whipping! π Their dancing, singing, and energy in this performance is GREAT! π This is one of the boys' BEST performances for sure! ❤
#3 - Sobre Ruedas (The Girls)
I was SHOCKED when I decided to rank this higher than I'd Be Crazy! π² I ALWAYS sort of overlooked this performance because I ALWAYS thought it wasn't better than I'd Be Crazy and I never LOVED this song, but now I have a new appreciation for it! ❤ This song reminds me of an early 2000s girl pop song and this performance gives off that EXACT vibe too! ❤ I LOVE their colorful outfits, the choreography, and the overall laid-back/nostalgic vibe of the performance! ❤ So, call me CRAZY for ranking it higher than I'd Be Crazy, but right now I think it's in the PERFECT place! ❤
As you watch the performance, be looking at which colorful dress is your FAVORITE! ❤ Mine is Luna's, but I also like Jim's and Jazmin's and Delfi's does stand out A LOT and is VERY bright! ❤
#2 - Profugos (The Chicos)
As I mentioned before, Profugos is one of my FAVORITE songs to watch being performed and this time is NO different! π This performance is SO short, but it's one of my FAVORITES for many reasons! π First off, I already mentioned that I LOVE the song choice! ♪ But, this performance is literally SO funny because of Simon and Matteo's temper throughout it! π As they both sing, they just get angrier and angrier with each other and I've ALWAYS loved this performance because of that, which I promise I don't like seeing people mad, but even you can't deny that this performance is ALL the better because of their little singing battle! π
This performance is high-energy and it's definitely memorable! π I just wish it was longer! π’
#1 - Valiente
Valiente WINS in another category! ππ EVERYONE (except Nina) comes together for this performance and sings my FAVORITE song of the season! π€ So, of course, this one WINS for group performances! π I LOVE how it starts off with just Luna and then more people join little by little until the boys and girls are BOTH onstage ending the Chicos vs. Chicas battle united! π This is the PERFECT song to end the singing battle with because it brings EVERYONE together! It's also one of the LONGEST Open Music performances of the season! π
Which GROUP performance is your FAVORITE? π
Ready for the LAST category? π I know... it's bittersweet! π’
DUETS
#6 - Corazon (Ana & Ricardo)
Not going to lie... this performance is kind of a vibe! π If Ricardo was a character I actually liked, then I'd probably watch this performance more! π¬ Okay... okay! I don't HATE Ricardo's character, but he sometimes gives me off vibes and I don't know why! π But, this performance is pretty good and he is FUNNY during some parts of it... NOT the part where they are spinning in circles with each other because she looks SO uncomfortable! π³ Again, this song is EVERYWHERE, but I've just accepted it and now so should you! π I could see why Nina was embarrassed by her parents performing, but honestly, it's not that bad! π€ I'd be vibing in the audience if I was there... I mean I'd also probably be falling asleep, but I'd be vibing! π
#5 - A Rodar Mi Vida (Jim & Yam)
#2 - Profugos (Luna & Simon)
Which DUET performance is your FAVORITE? π
ππΆππΆππΆππΆππΆππΆπ
WOW! I feel like I got done typing this post SO quickly... like, seriously! Where did the time go?!? π
The Open Music events of Soy Luna are one of the MANY things that makes the series SO unique and I LOVED being able to share ALL of these performances with you! π
Do you have a favorite Open Music event? What about a FAVORITE performance? Which category of the FOUR I created do you think had the BEST performances? π€π
I can't believe I'm almost done sharing my re-watch thoughts on season one! π It's definitely bittersweet, but I know season two holds SO many new and exciting things! π
But, we still have ONE more season one post to go! ππ
So...
Until then...
Don't forget to celebrate each day because each day is a memory in the making! π
