Shakira Sings Better in Spanish!

Various reports are saying Shakira will drop a new single this month and a new album later on. And boy am I ehhh! Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Shak Attack but reports also say the single will be available in both English and Spanish. Gag! Why do great/good Latin artists feel obligated to record in English? Yes, I know Shakira is a huge pop star now but her tunes still and will forever sound better in Spanish.  Just peep the videos below and tell me which lengua your favorite singer should stick to? PS: I don’t care if Shak’s breasts are small so I won’t confuse them with mountains…remember those lyrics from “Wherever, Whenever.” Gag!!!!!!!!!!!

Uno,

Jesus 

Shakira “Ojos Asi” in Spanish—Classic Shakira!

Shakira “Beautiful Liar” in English—The video is ill (thanks Bey, hips, etc.) the song is queso.

Marc Anthony “Nadie Como Ella” in Spanish—Classic salsa.

Marc Anthony “I Need to Know” in English—Marc’s crossover attempt…most people liked it but I didn’t feel the same passion.

Ricky Martin “Vuelve” in Spanish—Yep, Ricky actually does a great job with Latin pop power ballads.

 

Ricky Martin “She Bangs” in English—Next! Paulina Rubio “Dame Otro Tequila” in Spanish

Paulina Rubio “Don’t Say Goodbye” in English—Pau is one of the few artists who sounds the same in both languages.
