The language center of my brain is aching at the BUTCHERED Spanish of Christina’s song. Grammar’s bad, enunciation is almost nonexistant, pronounciation/ is ghastly– apparently she can’t decide if she’s singing about her father’s house (caSa) or his hunting hobby (caZa, bc that’s what she says half of the times).
One would think a star like her could hire a Spanish speaking editor to correct the lyrics and/or a Spanish speaking vocal coach/speech therapist to help her not make a fool of herself.

That Within Temptation video is awesome. I love how much ferocity Sharon den Adel puts into that song.

The final video is EXCELLENT, juxtaposing the speech (Frederick Douglas, IIRC?) with images from the century-plus since emancipation. I don’t really have any words to describe it.

Nuria,
Maybe she should have talked to her mom (her bio says mom was a Spanish teacher) or perhaps her dad (bio says he was born in Ecuador).

@Sarah and Nuria
LOL I sincerely doubt she’d ask her dad for advice abut language, since a lot of her body of work deals with family violence and is semi autobiographical.
