Share

Univision’s “Premios Juventud” youth awards show -- featuring an opening performance by Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull that concluded with an unexpected dip in an on-stage swimming pool -- was the most buzzed about show on television last week, according to the most recent rankings from SocialGuide.

The splashy musical number set the tone for the night, in which awards were presented in 27 categories, including music, movies, novelas, sports and pop culture. Musicians Ricky Martin and Price Royce were among six Latin music stars who performed U.S. television premieres of their latest singles.

The three-hour telecast Thursday drew about 5 million viewers and also incorporated a heavy social-media component, including a real-time Twitter vote to determine the show’s best-dressed. Viewers also could pose “Truth or Dare” questions on Twitter, Vine and Instagram to celebrities during rehearsals leading up to the show.
