Ok - I've never been a huge fan but I'm intrigued by the "Back to Basics" idea - I am thinking of getting it...
I've watched those specials on VH1 about Christina, etc. etc. and noticed that she was really successful with "Mi Reflejo" (Latin Grammy winner).
I wanted to get the scoop from a real Latina or Latino - I know that people sing in Spanish differently if that's their real language (vs. whether they just learned it in school, etc. like I did) -
So what's the deal? Was she just trying to capitalize on her Latin roots (her Ecuadorian father) or do you think she really IS Latina...
Thanks!

She is not a latina!! She doesn't speak Spanish, she doesn't identify with being hispanic. She dyes her hair platinum blonde, wears fake blue contacts and tries to look Scandinavian. She is awful...no latina thinks that she is real.

she sing very good in spanish, you can't tell that spanish isn't her real language, but she can't really talk in spanish, if you want to sing in spanish you can practice and do it very good, but she doesn't really speak in spanish. However, her dad is from Ecuador a country that is from latinamerica, so she have some latin roots.

Yes she is ,just like Cameron Dias is
and Eva Mendez
There is no question about how talented she is that girl can sing and why shouldn't she? all those freaking Mexicans are capitalizing from having their freaking network own by Mexican and they are not even talented.
