Why he might be annoying:

    He drew his earliest inspirations from… Menudo.
    Between albums, he made special appearances on at least three telenovelas.
    His first wife was stricken with breast cancer during his 2005 world tour — for which he would cut it short.
    Hurricane Maria devastated La Perla mere months after the shooting of ‘Despacito,’ which destroyed the roofs of many houses shown in the clip – among other things – and affected many of his own relatives.
    Since Spanish naming conventions are in play, he derived his stage name from his middle name (al-FONS-o).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is a close friend of Joey Fatone — with whom he went to high school in Orlando.
    Within a month of living on the United States mainland, he had a clear grasp of English with hardly any accent.
    Prior to ‘Despacito’ – when he was pushing 40 years – he had only two other singles in the Billboard Hot 100 (the higher finishing at #90).
    He was not the least bit upset when Bieber unwittingly botched his attempt at a Spanish-language verse for the remix that would become the #2 single of 2017 (behind only Shape of You).
    He lived with his future second wife about three years – and a daughter – before remarrying.
