Thalia is a Mexican singer and actress. A former child star in TheEighties singing group Din Din, she rose to fame in TheNineties through her roles in telenovelas. Her solo music career began in 1990 and has led her to be dubbed "the Latin {{Music/Madonna}}". An attempt to launch her into the English-speaking market in the early 2000s met with limited success and led to something of a BrokenBase, though she's still a big star in Latin America.

* NewSoundAlbum: ''Thalia'' ("The English Album") was a deliberate attempt to reposition her as a crossover artist by having her sing in English and teaming her up with hip hop producers rather than anyone who actually understood where she was coming from. It was met with indifference from the target market and hostility from her existing fans; the next album "El Sexto Sentido" took on a more guitar-based sound before she returned to her familiar latin pop style for ''Lunada''.

* BlackSheepHit: "I Want You" was created specially to break her into the English-speaking market and succeeded up to a point, but left her as a OneHitWonder with an unrepresentative song. In her earlier career, "Maria la del Barrio" was a bit of a black sheep hit, given its uncharacteristic cheesiness and the fact that half of it was sung by a chorus of male backing singers (both due to it being a TV theme song).



* ScrewedByTheNetwork: When Thalia fell ill around the time of the ''Lunada'' album, EMI seemed to take this as a signal to kill the album by giving it next to no promotion. Unsurprisingly, Thalia and EMI parted company soon after.

* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: Well, not Speedy Gonzales specifically, but "Amor A La Mexicana" is basically "I know all the stereotypes and I'm fine with them". Also played up in the original "casa" video (not the "truck stop" one), and check out her costume in this live performance http://youtu.be/mrTLSh-SqpA - WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome
