Anyway, I just finished hearing it. The singers are the following: Olga Tañón, Gloria Trevi, Reik, Kalimba, Andy Andy, Carlos Ponce, Pitbull, Aventura and Wyclef Jean.

First off, I don't like any of the singers. So that alone is a a sufficient reason to not like the song, even if wasn't Our Anthem. This idea was a bad one, even if the intention was good, and not good for all of course.

you're missing the point. the reason people are upset is because they are using this new anthem as a pro illegal immigration tool. they'll use it at rallies and parades. they are taking something American and reshaping it to suit their interests. they cant do that, only Americans can.

the people who are upset are most likely in the group that feel if you want to be an American you have to a) learn english and b) be patriotic to America and nothing else

not that i completely agree with B.

Then by those two requirements a lot of citizens aren't American. Poor illiterate.

So that means I can use Spanglish and be ok in the book of these Americans. Great.

pardon me, but 'the people' (whoever they are) are upset because they are big fat bigot idiots. bigots are just using this as an opportunity to lash out against non-european americans and president bush is just pandering to them. they ought to be ashamed of themselves.

no one is using this version as a pro illegal immigration tool-it was just released yesterday and probably isn't even for sale yet. how in god's green earth can this be used as an anthem? in any case, this version arose probably because several opportunists believed that they can make a quick buck or make a name for themselves. "We Are the World" LINK, this is not.

regarding the comment about reshaping something for their needs: if that is not american virtue or characteristic, i'm not sure what is.

for the last time, this is a matter of free speech. i'm done discussing this invented controversy.

By all means, if they want to seperate and alienate themselves, they can go right ahead.

But don't start whining when some ignorant skin-head comes to your house getting ready to stop your ass.

That was the dumbest thing I have ever read. Thank you. I thought I was the one who was meant to write down stupid shit but you have really pulled through. Thank you.

So tell me what would stop a skin-head from beating the crap out of someone of a different color or 'race' like you people seem to define it?
