later replaced by actress Daniela Luján. She also
contributed to the soundtracks of those telenovelas, which
brought her a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Latin
Children's Album.
Her international self-titled album Belinda became as big a
success in many different countries, as it was in Mexico. It

and Vivir, which was also chosen as the main theme song for
