I like the spanish version much better. It's got a more updated sound and the lyrics are updated too to show what is going on. I think it represents america better overall.

I grew up in a predominantly Hispanic small town in Central Illinois and I can tell you I, along with many of my Hispanic friends, absolutely hate much of the "carnaval" music and its constant drone.  We love to listen to the Tex-Mex or American-Hispanic mix from the likes of Carlos Santana, Los Lobos, Freddy Fender and the Texas Tornadoes,  regional band Los Mocambos,  Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, and really any Mariachi bands.  ( I know I'm leaving out a bunch of ohters).  It just provided different rhythms, vocals, feel, and speed that kept the music "fresh" and not mundane.  However, who am I to tell you what your preferences in music should be?

I am from Bolivia, we mostly sing our national anthem in spanish, but we are a multi cultural country, so there are versions of the anthem is several different laguages, mostly native. \nI am okay with that, we sing the anthem as a sign of respect for our country, we just respect it in different languages.

I think you mean, changing?\nThis is the Spanish version of the Star Spangled Banner, not the illegal immigrants.

More usable in the U.S. would be Spanish.

If it's the American National Anthem, then of coarse it should be sung in English. English is our national language, like it or not.

Actually, it looks like Secada was singing "America the Beautiful" in Spanish. A song which perhaps should be, but is not the National Anthem.\n\nhttp://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0101/18/ip.00.html\nWOODRUFF: Well, as we told you a moment ago, the inaugural opening ceremonies are underway at the Lincoln Memorial. Let's slip back over there now and listen to Jon Secada.\nJON SECADA SINGS "AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL")\n\nBut your point is still valid...\nIn his book American Dynasty, Kevin Phillips notes that during Bush’s first presidential campaign, he would often sing the national anthem in Spanish. From pg. 142:\nWhen visiting cities like Chicago, Milwaukee, or Philadelphia, in pivotal states, he would drop in at Hispanic festivals and parties, sometimes joining in singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” in Spanish, sometimes partying with a “Viva Bush” mariachi band flown in from Texas.

I'm not Latin, but I think this is an abomination.\nI saw a story on the news Memorial Day about Belgian children.  Belgium is where Flanders field cemetery is located.\nThe Belgian children learn the Star Spangled Banner in ENGLISH, to thank the American soldiers for sacrificing their lives for their country.\nWhy is it the Latin countries want to pervert our national anthem?  We would never be able to do such a thing in their country, we would be immediately deported/jailed.

I like it.  Needs to apply to illegal Mexicans too.\nIt is way cheaper than it is now.

We speak ENGLISH, not spanish. Like a bumper sticker that i once saw; "Welcome to America now speak English." I love that bumper sticker.

I've never heard of that song having a Spanish version. The only thing I know is that it has a part of it said in Spanish, which I guess you know that already. If I remember right, these are those parts:\n\n"Baila la calle, de noche, baila la calle, de dia"\n\n"Mira, en Barranquilla, se baila asi"

Beats me - I hate it!\n\nAll it does is glorify an incredibly narrow and stupid way of living - drinking, hating minorities, loving god and our country, and praising the completely useless war we are in.\n\nCountry music is a bunch of dumb rednecks claiming to be the best America has to offer. Country music is a prime example of what is wrong with our country - no wonder other countries hate and disrespect us!

Don't care.  Their changing the language not the meaning.  What is great about this country is the principles upon which it was built not the common language (notice I did'nt write national language).

Some EDUCATIONAL Reading For Citizens\n\nhttp://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd185.htm\n\nI have friends who live in the Phoenix area that speak fluent Spanish. Over the weekend before the big marches on April 10, 2006, Spanish speaking radio was sending this message: "Hide what's in your heart today. We know in your heart your allegiance is to Mexico, but today use your head. Americans were upset about Mexican flags and our show of solidarity for reconquista. Now we must wear white shirts and wave the American flags being handed out. It will be difficult because we know in your heart your love is for Mexico, but hide it today."
