Did Luis Miguel and Michael Jackson ever sing together?
Although many, including Luis Miguel himself, dreamed of him launching a collaboration with Michael Jackson, the truth is that the song that was played at the National Stadium is not an official work that the singers have recorded and published.

Years after Luis Miguel could not complete his collaboration with Michael Jackson, a user on YouTube, identified as 'Arnicandscram', published a bilingual mashup of the song 'Smile', which united the voices of the famous singers, each one interpreting it in their native language.
