Another singer who scores her first award at the show is Paulina Rubio. Named Best Solo Artist, she says during her acceptance speech, "So early, I wasn`t expecting this. I want to thank my fans who have been voting day and night for (the song) `Causa y efecto.` I`m the cause - you are the effect."
