This kind of comparison may be insulting to some, Mun2. Chalino Sanchez was too much of a legend to be compared to someone as Valentin Elizalde, who let's face it, was pretty unexperienced if you compare him to Chalino. Besides, more than half of the regeton geeks that visit your site don't even know who Chalino is, but might know who Valentin is since he was a round just a few years ago.
