Another Year In America July 23, 2009

Three solid ticks, hurrah, with Shakira and Demi on their first-single-of-the-album premieres, but I still find things to kvetch about.

( Demi Lovato )

( Pitbull )

( Shakira )

A couple of tracks from the Sony/BMG catalogue

On June 25, 2002, regarding Shakira, I wrote "She's the only singer I can think of who could pull off convincing versions of both 'My Heart Will Go On' and 'Like A Rolling Stone.'"

Unbeknownst to TV-less me, American Idol had debuted exactly two weeks earlier, and would soon give us Kelly Clarkson.

Who, besides Shakira or Kelly, do you think could do it?
