Though Enrique Iglesias may have sold upwards of 180 million records, won five Latin Grammys, and even nabbed the highly-coveted title of “The King Of Latin Pop" it appears there is one thing the Spanish pop singer can not actually do — sing falsetto sans autotune.

During the Montreal, Quebec stop of the Trilogy Tour, where Iglesias has been performing alongside fellow Latin pop iconics including Pitbull and Ricky Martin, the artist proved that even the most revered singers could still benefit from a little bit of vocal editing, inadvertently giving his best Muffin Man impression while attempting to perform his 2010 hit, “I Like It” during an apparent audio malfunction.



Though Iglesias did his damndest to hit the high notes during the song’s iconic bridge, his repeated “don’t stop, baby”-s read more cartoon character than Latin pop legend, as several TikTok commenters pointed out.


“It sounds like a Mickey Mouse cover,” commented one user, while another likened it to the “sing to me, Paolo,” scene from The Lizzie McGuire Movie.




Yet amid the roasts and dunks — “we have Enrique Iglesias at home,” joked another commenter — several found the audio SNAFU somewhat endearing, commending its relatability.


“This is how I sound when I’m in the car and I think I sound good and someone turns the volume down,” added a fourth commenter.


Enrique Iglesias — he’s just like us … and by just like us I mean he too, probably sounds a lot better in the shower.
