What do you think about the reggaeton?

is bad or great music?

For me is great and the best singer of reggaeton is Don omar.

It's horrible! And the topics and lyrics about that are terrible!!! I'm Venezuelan and sometimes I feel sorry when people say that Reggeaton shows the Latin American soul!! Wow!!! I can't believe it!!! It talks horrible about women, and I hate that.. Sorry. Maybe I haven't listened the good ones. If you know, just let me know Wink

I totally agree with Oriani. I hate reggaeton, I can't stand it. Usually when I'm asked about my favorite kind of music I say: "Everything except reggateon!". I mean, come on, is that music? It gives me a headache everytime I hear it.

I hate it too. The sound is terrible. The "singers" don't sing. The "songs" have bad lyrics. And causes me terrible headaches.

Without cultural and context framework, a translation is incomplete. Smile

Actually most reggaeton songs talk about sex. If I am placed in a latin american context the song would be like turtle said. I have never listened the song (and I don't want to Laughing

) but it seems like turtle said. But it will depend on the country the singer was born. I think I have listened his name but I am not sure Laughing
