FfFfFfFF 54,014 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 The Argonaut about Alejandro: The song feels forced, and its Latin beat does not mesh well with Lady Gaga's style. MTV: Lady Gaga dabbled in Latin-sounding music on Fame Monster with Alejandro, but for Born This Way, Gaga took that sound to a whole new level on Americano, a charging, no-holds-barred statement about love of all kinds, played up against the chugging backdrop of Spanish guitar, horns and a disco-ready beat. Vhhits: Lady Gaga wanted her track Americano to be full Mexicano. The singer – who previously used Latin influences on her single Alejandro- wanted to emphasise ... Wikipedia: Gaga had previously experimented with Latin music on the track Alejandro from The Fame Monster (2009), but with Americano she took the musical composition to another direction. Wikipedia about Americano: It combines mariachi, house, and techno genres with elements from Latin music. Lady Gaga: Pop's Glam Queen: ... Eurodisco of Scheibe, the winking, Latin-tinged dance-pop of Americano ... Chicago Tribune: Beck brings a Latin feel to Dancin' in Circles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back at your similar threads, seems like I'm not the only one who cringes at the poll while seeing the genre/influence the thread is about. Your receipts are not good enough. Just because some "musical expert" or "reviewer" said that DIC is Latin, it doesn't mean it is. I believe that what they're talking about in the particular case is the Bollywood influence in it, but that's how limited their hearing is. Don't fall for these reviews, they just add these random nonsensical words/genres in order to make their review longer and it probably makes them feel eloquent or smart or something. Like, "Lady Gaga with Venus brought back the 80s pop sound, with disco influence, rock guitars and a jazz sound through it", brief example. Just because it's a Latin name, Alejandro has nothing Latin-inspired, let alone the beat lol. Gotta give you Americano. xoxo, MaryJaneHolland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of my polls had 40-50 votes at least so people agreeing are more than disagreeing any way. If a critic linked a genre to one song it's enough for me consider it suitable for being an option in this thread. Their opinion is more relevant for this subject than the opinion of one non-expert person. And as long as mods are okay with these I will keep making similar threads so you have the option to logout.

FfFfFfFF 54,014 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Just now, tomsches said: how is DiC latin inspired? Even Alejandro isnt latin inspire except for the title For me DIC has those dancehall/ raeggae influence which are pretty common in latin songs (like Despacito ). Alejandro is more europop rather than latin but that line ''you know that I love you boy'' (which is by the way similar with ''hurts inside but not this time'') kinda give the song a latin allure.

The intro and the breaks between the chorus and the verses are straight up Latin and you can hear maracas or something similar like that through the whole song.
