still better in freaking Spanish...(in the sense that the meaning and power of the lyrics tends to be lost in the English version of some of her songs)
oh stuff your cute little spanish pum pum
You don't hear me say anything when people love Bob Marley's music, even tho he sounds better in patois.
Or when kids start imitating Sean Kingston, who is very Jamaican but sings in near standard English.
Some Artists can pull off bilingual music
To you she sounds like a brick house in Spanish, because you speak spanish, those of us unfortunate enough to not be able to do so, cannot ascertain her Spanish brilliance. We can only go by her English stuff, cause that's what we know.
It's like how many of you here don't understand Reggae/Soca/Dance hall, but I do. I try to get fun/easy songs for y'all to comprehend, but I won't get upset if you prefer the more understandable english songs over the thick patois ones.
Spanish is the 2nd most influencial language next to English, so you should feel proud she can hit the two biggest markets, and represent your peeps proud
