My name is Iris Paulino and I live in New York City. I was born in Brooklyn, New York on February 4, 1973. Dominican Republic is my motherland.

I have loved Gloria ever since I was a little girl. But I became a huge fan when her Greatest Hits CD came out. I fell in love with Gloria and her song "I SEE YOUR SMILE". Ever since then, I have been hooked on Gloria.

My favorite songs are of course I see your smile, Mi Tierra, Como me duele perderte, Oye mi canto, Heavens what I feel, Oye, Wrapped, Your picture, Path of the right love, Steal your heart, All of the songs in Abriendo Puertas, Live for loving you, Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, in fact the whole CD, Time waits, Te amare, I will always need your love, Tu fotografia, Tres deseos...OK you get the picture, they are all my favorites.

My favorite Gloria DVD is Everlasting Gloria because in it, it includes the video to I see your smile and other old favorites.

God blessed me with the privilege (and the funds) to be able to attend her Live and Unwrapped concert in Las Vegas. I have seen her on several occasions performing live here in New York City, but never got a chance to meet her and tell her how much she inspires me, how much I love her, and how much her music means to me. I know that someday I will have the privilege of meeting our superstar and hopefully have the chance to tell her how I feel in person.

Thank you Gloria for making such beautiful music. Your lyrics do speak of a greater love as I heard you say before. Thank you for keeping it real!
