The first awards show on Spanish-language television thatcelebrates the preferences of this country's young Hispanics, "PremiosJuventud 2006" gave awards in 28 unconventional categories.

In keeping with tradition, the show's opening was a majorproduction that culminated in revealing the identities of the show'shosts, a closely guarded secret right up until showtime. When theluxury yacht of reggaeton impresarios Luny Tunes runs out of gas, theshow's top secret musical CD they are delivering must be picked up bya helicopter piloted by co-host Chilean actor Cristian de la Fuente.Unfortunately, the case falls into the ocean and two scuba diversdescend to retrieve it. Swimming through shark infested waters, theyarrive to the event and enter the stage through an airlock and deliverthe CD as they reveal themselves as popular Mexican televisionpersonalities Alessandra Rosaldo and Jan. They are later joined byco-hosts de la Fuente and actress/singer Ninel Conde.
The show then kicked off with an elaborate production numberfeaturing the Kumbia Kings performing their hit "Pachuco" with anexplosive display of pyrotechnics and lights that brought the sold-outarena crowd to their feet. Later, in a nod to the often elaborateentrances staged by other artists, the lead singer of Puerto Ricanurban group Calle 13 descended onto the stage from the rafters ridinga bicycle while throwing newspapers to the appreciative fans belowwhile performing their hit "Atrevete-te." Other musical highlightsincluded a duet of Mexican superstar Thalia and Aventura lead singerAnthony that featured a chorus line of Thalia look-alikes on stage, arare live performance by super-group Mana debuting their newest single"Labios Compartidos" (and who later received the coveted "Supernova"award), an emotionally-charged performance by reggaeton artist DonOmar of his AIDS-awareness themed "Angelito," and a much anticipatedmedley of hits by Miami rockers Bacilos.
In what was unquestionably the biggest surprise of the evening,both to the audience as well as the artist, Puerto Rican reggaetonstar Ivy Queen was honored with a video montage of her meteoric careerand presented the first ever "Diva Award."
