CAUTION: We may have another wannabe Latina on the loose! First we shouted-out Britney Spears with her “Mmm Papi” fetish, and now Beyonce - or her alter ego Sasha Fierce - deserves a barrio double-take.
The pop diva has flossed her sensual twang and sassy Spanish lyrics in the past. It wasn’t that long ago since Beyonce sealed her prized package initiation with help from cadera shakin’ estrella Shakira for “Beautiful Liar.” It appears that Mrs. Fierce is coming back for más azúcar in her new album “I AM…Sasha Fierce” with an español version of “If I Were a Boy/Si Yo Fuera Un Chico.” We can already here her jam playing on nuestro radios, but do you think Beyonce has taken her wannabe Latina ticket too far?
Listen to “Si Yo Fuera Un Chico” and you be the judge! Keep it locked for the all-day video premiere on Monday, November 24th.

thank you someone else agrees with me
It really is a shame that we are all one race, the human race, but we are still so divided by insignificant things.
Peace
Please, you idiots don't even know what you're talking about. Beyonce CAN sing as many songs in Spanish as she wants, because 1. It's a process called ACCULTURATION, and 2. LATIN music is very much infused and highly influenced by AFRICAN music, so if anyone can sing a song in spanish, it's Beyonce.
You're so quick to adopt a separatist view, instead of trying to unite our cultures. This reminds me of last year when everyone was saying that Beyonce wanted to be a Latina just because she said she appreciated the culture. Side note: I know latina women that consider themselves black, so what are you hoping to accomplish by forcing them to choose who they align themselves with?. It's as if no one can do a bellydance without being compared to Shakira or being called a latina-swagger jacker. Go somewhere with that!
i know we latinaz are hot and have dat passion
I mean is nice she is sinqinq in spanish
but have u seen all em enqlish sinqinq celebreties
now sinqinq in spanish.
but yet i've seen many latinos sinqinq in enqlish 2.
i say "wanna be's"
We are becoming a multicultural nation and I guess some folks can't accept that. Black americans have seen our culture, music, dress - our entire spectrum of creativity stolen from us many times over - but still we are very loving and forgiving people. We are dynamic, creative people who can sing and perform anything. "Be" is bad as she wants to be and as the young people say, "I ain't mad at her."
"Be" is just showing you all how creative and versatile she is. Shouldn't latinos be glad that someone appreciates your culture and is trying to sing in a language that you can understand. I mean some latinos have been screaming for years that the U.S. should be a two-language country. Now nearly every damn thing in the U.S. is written in English and Spanish, from detergent to voting ballots.
Latinos are now the second largest minority in the U.S. (and with illegal immigration soon to be even larger - because you know Obama is going to give you amnesty). And some of you are having a hissy fit over "Be" singing in Spanish? Boy, what hypocrites!! You can't have it both ways, on the one hand wanting everything in Spanish and then complaining because someone sings a few songs in Spanish! You folks need to get a life.
'We can already here her jam playing on nuestro radios'
Spell check twice, three times, four...but don't post this type of blogs specially when it isn't well written it makes us Latinos look bad!!!!!
And how come we don't talk about the Mexican singers try to sing in English?At least Beyonce sings good in spanish....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Irish girl here, been learning spanish for a few years now and love Beyonce so I love that I can do two things i love at once now - listen to Bee and perfect my spanish!
Seriously though, Latin culture - AMAZING, it is no wonder everyone including Ms Knowles wants a piece of the action!
