Growing up as a Hispanic-American, I couldn’t help but to get the best of both worlds –especially when it came to the entertainment biz.

I liked the heart-breaking music of Juan Gabriel, but at the same time, I enjoyed the smooth tunes of Michael Jackson. Same thing applied to television, when I get a kick out of chanting out answers while watching “Family Feud” or “100 Mexicanos Dijeron.”

It’s no surprise that pop culture in both the United States and Latin America is so similar, whether it has to do with music, film or television.

Yes, I enjoyed music and tv in both markets, but truth be told, I’ve always been entertained by the Hispanic culture.

Who do you think did it better? The English-speaking market or the Hispanic market? To break it down, here are 10 similarities –you be the judge.
