Although High Voltage is the first Thalía's musical tour, taking in consideration her artistic career as singer and actress, the tour didn't turn out to be a financial success, for what the tour only decreased to 12 presentations between Mexico and United States, what would untie the dissatisfaction and the disillusion of her fans in other parts of the world. The tour was a total failure.
In spite of having manifested not to be affect to the live concerts, after the experience of High Voltage, Thalía
had announced to have begun the rehearsals for a tour to be carried out in the year 2006, the which it never ended up being summed up, what marked her estrangement of the stages.

also interpreted songs of her first albums as solo singer, as well as songs of her time with the Mexican Pop teen band Timbiriche, although the same ones are not very popular between the general public, inclusive the North American audience and other non Hispanic-speaker audiences.
The initial plans for this tour were, besides touring Mexico and United States, to visit Central America, South America, Europe, and Asia, but due to the financial failure that meant, the tour didn't extend toward other latitudes like in a beginning they had specified.

In her own words
- In the rehearsal, I realized that half of my lighting and sound systems had not arrived but rather it had been blocked in customses. So, we made what we could, and with more anger and desires than never, we prepare an incredible concert in the Plaza de Toros. The venue was full of audience, an impressive and full energy people.
- Without a doubt, to sing in the Auditorio Nacional was one of the concerts that more turns in my head during the last years. The night before the concert I could not sleep for all the opposing feelings-love, nerves and happiness. So, the day of the show we commend ourselves to God, so that we presented the best show ever and it was this way. The show in the Auditorio Nacional will never forget it, since the venue was to explode with all my people. For my surprise, they were present Diego Shoening and Mariana Garza, former partners of Timbiriche, and I invited them to the stage to sing with me the song «No se si es amor». Also were present my family and many of my partners of the show business. It was a perfect show that has filled from pride and happiness to the whole High Voltage crew.
