Tap into the lucrative Hispanic market. Or, you know, don’t.
With over 500 million speakers, Spanish is the 2nd most prominent language spoken around the world today. As artists attempt to top the international music charts, many think it's a smart business decision to release a version of their hit single en Español.
Unfortunately, no one told them otherwise...
Backstreet Boys - Nunca Te Haré Llorar
In 1995 the boys were propelled to international fame with their hit I'll Never Break Your Heart. Eager to further their success they released Nunca Te Haré Llorar and the world will never let them forget it.

Michael Jackson - I Just Can't Stop Loving You (Spanish Version)
This is undeniably Michael. In that creepy kind of way. Except it was 1987 so everything was fine.
This version leaves a lot to be desired. No one expected MJ to be down with speaking Spanish, but producers couldn't even be bothered to find a choir that could. In fact, they couldn't even be bothered to translate the title leaving us with the awkward I Just Can't Stop Loving You (Spanish Version).
