This seems like a very odd move, Annie.

I just don't understand how, when artists do stuff like this, they don't check with a native Spanish speaker, "hey does this make sense grammatically," "hey is the H silent in this word," "hey does this conjugation work." She said she collaborated with someone on the translations, but either they're not a native speaker or she threw their notes away. VG is right that it comes off like a joke.

It's just one song, maybe the rest are better

Sounds more like something of an art performance of sorts specially coming from her.

Fingers crossed she doesn't make a third version while wearing a kimono and a Native American war bonnet.

It's a rare miss. No biggie.
If anything, I just jope its not the last thing we squeeze out of All Born Screaming.
I'm really hoping for an official live recording in any format.

Is her Spanish really bad?

I guess not everyone can pull it off authentic like Mike Patton.

I saw her live in Manchester last week, and as expected she kicked ass.

After climbing a balcony she was in the zone and really fired up, her tech was trying to fix her ear monitor and she got annoyed and batted in away, grabbed a guitar and quickly spun round in excitement and bashed the male guitarist in the face! The was a collective gasp from the audience but he was OK.

The new songs SLAYED. Flea and Sweetest Fruit back to back was unbelievable.
