New Music: Demi Lovato - Rascacielos
Demi, I woulnd't have touched the original really...Listen to "Rascacielos" which is the official Spanish version to Ms Lovato's latest Top 10 hit "Skyscraper" - The pop star debuted this new track during her live chat with fans last night (July 21) on Cambio.com...
First the good points: Loving all the emotion, the singing remained top notch and Demi's Spanish pronunciation is quite good. Now the bad: The original "Skyscraper" in English was so flawless that I would have not approved a Spanish version, although I kinda forsaw this would occured. Why? My only problem is the lyrics..."Sola me voy a levantar como un rascacielos". A literal translation, which although is perfectly understandable, it just sounds so unnatural in Spanish (Comparar una persona y un rascacielos es descabellado). I personally would've written new lyrics with the same feeling of 'rising from the ground when you're feeling down'. But to go with the easy route with a song called "Rascacielos", nop.
