Spanish Bed of Roses
 

This may have been talked about before.....
Ive just bought keep the faith, the videos and on it features a spanish version of bed of roses.....did they record the song in spanish? and did they re-shoot the video so that it fit in with the spanish words or did they just dub over it?

I found this video and the new jersey collection a few days ago in a video store so I just had to buy them!.

Hi there!! Yes, they recorded the song in spanish but the video is the same as the english version.The translation was made by a spanish songwritter and let me tell you that Jon's pronunciation is baaaaaad :lol: , I think he improved it a lot when he sang the spanish version of This ain't a love song or Staring at your window, his pronunciation in both songs is excellent!! :D

You'd have thought Tico would have said something about his pronunciation...

:lol: what could he do?? Jon did his best :lol: , but still, we have to laugh a bit when we hear it, it's something "strange" for us.But as I said, he has improved a lot!

He probably didn't show up for work that day. 8)

Why doesn't he sing in italiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan?????? :?

He says he feels very comfortable singing in spanish :wink: .I loved when he tried to talk in spanish at the Madrid show back in May.When he introduced Richie to sing I'll be there, he said "My amigo Ricardo va a cantar una composicion" (=mi friend Richie is going to sing a composition).The spanish word for "song" is "cancion" but he said "composicion" (=composition..or something like that in english).It was very funny :lol:.And while singing, he changed some words of the songs and said the spanish words...I love when he makes us feel "special" :D

In the Crush era there was a rumour here in Mexico about a spanish version of Thank You for Loving Me, but I guess it was just that, a rumour. Also, I remember that I read in a mexican magazine that Keep the Faith was going to be released in spanish at first, but I guess they were talking about Bed of Roses, imagine Keep the Faith in spanish... :shock:
And I agree, Jon's pronunciation was awful in Bed Of Roses!!!

can anyone comment on richie's spanish on the bilbao 98 gig? he does the 'in it for love' chorus in spanish to a great reception but is it any good?!

Because the recordings are made for the South American market. And you don't speak Italian in South America. A lot of Artists to this.
