Memorable Moments
- One day before the show, MTV cancelled the presentation of Café Tacuba, one of the most expected and publicised. Accoding to MTV politics they can't have any other activities except the ones MTV had planned for them for the upcoming week and Café Tacuba had already booked a presentation for "Las Lunas del Auditorio" on October 24, 2007.
- There was a power blackout during the show, just before the live performance of Hilary Duff.
- RBD, Maná, Paulina Rubio and Belinda were booed by the audience when they appeared on stage to present an award or perform.
