    Errors and inconsistencies

    The series has many notorious errors in its plot.

  • In episode 7, in a scene set in the 60s at the Noa Noa club, the character of Juan Gabriel performs the song "Nomás contigo", also claiming that he wrote it. In reality, said song was composed and recorded by Mario Quintero in 1975, and it was a #1 hit in Mexico the following year.
  • In episode 9, in a scene set in the early 70s, the character of Juan Gabriel makes his debut as a backing singer in Angélica María's recording of the song "Eddy, Eddy" (a cover of Dodie Stevens' "Steady Eddy"). However, it would have been impossible for Juan Gabriel do the backing vocals in that song, as María's recording is from 1962 (and it was also one of the biggest hits in Mexico that year), when he was just 12 years old and living at the "Centro de Mejoramiento".
