None has used "chingar", that I can recall. Puertorican salsa singers have a long history of steamy songs (Eddie Santiago, Frankie Ruiz, Tito Rojas, et. al.).

But again, the meaning is the same, the guy used her for sex and then left her. I don't think it would get censored in US stations but I could be wrong.

You can imply all you want. In fact, you could go even further (e.g., Alejandra Guzman's "Hacer el Amor con otro" leaves nothing to the imagination). However, could you use the word "coger"? I am not from Mexico, but I wonder if they have similar FCC regulations as we do here, and if that word would be bleeped/muted of a publicly broadcasted song. Well, I would disagree with that.

Oy, if that's true then yeah...how's that for edgy? Still, regardless of the wording the implication is the same by using the "la noche de ayer se acabo" line and saying "me tuviste" it's talking about more than hand holding in the hallway, :) Seriously?

The implication is pretty much the same. <blockquote>At first glance, the English version is more 'You messed up, lied to me, so go away' ; the Spanish version seems more more like 'You really hurt me, I am leaving (Adios, me voy)' . It seems subtle, but in the Spanish one there seems to be more emotion, like you sense she got hurt. In the English version it sounds more like it was a hookup that just didn't work out.</blockquote>I totally agree with this. The Spanish version sounds more serious, more emotional and way more mature. There are implications of a previous night. There's pain in this one, nut just anger. Her voice is also much more Allison in this version. At first I thought I was going to be disappointed with it, but I actually like this version even better.

I really think that in the Spanish version she says: <em>Me tuviste, me olvidaste, oh, oh, oh, se termino Me <strong>cogiste</strong>, me olvidaste, el viernes te olvido yo</em> Dudes and dudettes, in some countries this translates into: You had me, forgot me, its over You F@#! me, forgot me, FIBOU From where I am, the word means "take," and there is no negative meaning whatsoever. But I strongly believe that, at least in Mexico, its the four letter word. Here heritage is Salvadorian, nevertheless, being from LA, this must have been deliberate. How's that for an edge ...

And to make it even more weird, it looks (not surprisingly) as though she'll be the first act, burning up all the oxygen in the room before anyone else comes on. :-) Having said that, I think these things are pretty much like the AI tour, where you have to expect different genres and be able to switch gears. And, having seen the Season 7 AI tour as well, I can attest to the fact that although Jason isn't a rocker and has the laid-back stoner image, he has serious stage presence.

It seems subtle, but in the Spanish one there seems to be more emotion, like you sense she got hurt. In the English version it sounds more like it was a hookup that just didn't work out. BTW, in the Spanish version there is an implication that there was a previous night: "la noche de ayer se acabo" or "yesterday night is over", which I don't get from the English one; also "me tuviste, me olvidaste" which could translate into "you HAD me and forgot me". That line in the English version goes "you got me to forget me", which doesn't sound as strong. I would need more time with it than what I had in order to fully flush it out.

I listened to it a couple of hours ago at her street team site, and I noticed the more raw voice sound right away. Good stuff. I'm sure it was a quicker/cheaper production than Max Martin's -- and less production is better in many cases, especially hers. I also noticed that it sounded like they didn't re-do all the harmony vocals -- I don't think I hear the harmony line on the equvalent of "when I'm gone" in the chorus. I'll be interested to hear you Spanish speakers' take on the lyrics and what changes were made. I already know about the title change to "forget". No, it’s not just you, LoveDaRocker.

It might be just me because Spanish is my first language. Is it just me, or does the Spanish version is less produced/have more pure Allison sound than the Engish one.
