"no te pido flores"
fanny lu
2006
aside from being a shameless hispanophile, i like a lot of spanish-language pop music (as an enormously broad category) for a few reasons. practically, it's great to listen to while trying to read or write. my spanish isn't bad (although there are some who would contest that), but i don't find myself constantly distracted by the lyrics the way i sometimes do in english-language music. on the other hand, it's more energetic than a lot of the strictly instrumental stuff i have, so it keeps me focused (ummm y'know, unless i'm spending time blogging about how productive it makes me...never mind.) second, fanny lu has pretty much ruled the latin pop charts for the past two years. compare this to some of the utter crap that makes it onto the us charts: t-pain? katy perry? yurk. [caveat(s): 1. i have no idea who half the artists on the current billboard charts are...don't know what the hell the kids are dancing to these days...2. i'm sure plenty of stuff on the latin charts is crap too...this has more to do with my visceral reaction to vocorders and general old lady crotchetiness about the state of pop in america than anything else]. third? HOW CAN YOU SAY NO TO THIS VIDEO??
