frank sinatra - my wayThe same as last week I posted a musical In Memoriam with the artists that left us in 2014, this week I´m bringing you a list with 50 songs in English and Spanish of basically the same song performed by different artists in different languages.

So you will find the same song in English played by someone and a Spanish version of a different artist. There are also a couple of songs that are originally in French and then versioned in Spanish.

In this list I purposefully left out versions of the same song by the same artist recorded in two languages, like Bon Jovi´s spanish versions of his own songs or Roxette´s, or Bryan Adams or Robbie Williams´ or so many more like that.

Of course the list should begin with one of the most covered songs in the world, as performed in English by The Voice himself, Mr Frank Sinatra.

Some songs shouldn´t be reversioned as they are no way to make them better or eben remotely close, such as The Platters Sixteen Tons; some songs are made better in the reversion, such a Pedro Aznar´s Ya no hay forma de pedir perdón; and some are so completely different that makes it funny, as the case of Brazeros Musicales trying to play Hoobastank´s The Reason.

I hope you´ll enjoy this one too, and I will be bringing more of these songlists.
