Wait though, speaking of desperate, are we forgetting when Beyoncé did B-Day in Spanish, despite not knowing a lick of it? I'm surprised she never tried to claim translating credits.
And I found out a while ago there's a spanish version of Beautiful Liar without Shakira?
I don't think Rihanna should be help responsible if you don't like her features You should only judge her on the quality of HER songs. That being said, CRTFY is great.
All this talk about song translations reminds me of when Avril translated the chorus of "Girlfriend" in Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Italian, Spanish... practically every foreign language you can think of.
