Mexican politician Luis Donaldo Colosio Riojas, currently a senator, once dreamed of a singing career. His participation in the 'American Idol Latino' casting call in 2007 has recently resurfaced. Colosio Riojas performed the song 'No importa la distancia' during the first round of auditions in Monterrey. However, his performance did not impress the judges. Puerto Rican composer Gustavo Sanchez noted his charisma but advised him to work more on his performance skills. Singer Mimi from the band Flans stated that he would make a good lawyer but not a singer. Colosio Riojas later admitted that his audition was 'terrible.' He confessed he did not expect the video to go viral, as it was just one of many artistic endeavors he undertook during his university studies. Afterwards, he focused on his political career, becoming a local deputy, mayor of Monterrey, and a senator.
