Watch Fuerza Regida Explain to Jennifer Hudson Why the Band Members ‘Want to Be Just Like Her’
The Mexican American superstars will also be at Billboard Latin Music Week.
On September 24, Mexican group Fuerza Regida made their way onto daytime television, performing on The Jennifer Hudson Show. The band, known for their música mexicana, performed their hit song "Por Esos Ojos," which had climbed to No. 64 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 3 on Hot Latin Songs. The audience, mostly young women, reacted with enthusiasm, mimicking the energy of pop superstars.
The band members, dressed in black, discussed their journey from small performances to large stadium tours, reaching over 350,000 fans in their second leg of the This Is Our Dream Tour. They also spoke about their growing fan base, which now spans various Latin American communities, and their bicultural identity. When frontman Jesús Ortiz Paz jokingly asked Jennifer Hudson why the band members "want to be just like her," the others chimed in, agreeing.
Hudson noted that the group was "well on their way" to reaching that status, and Fuerza Regida is set to headline Superstar Q&A and participate in En Vivo programming at Billboard Latin Music Week 2026, taking place in Miami Beach from October 19-22.
