Two of my favorite musicans performed in Times Square.

One of them is the Miami Cuban rapper Pitbull performing his rap songs

Another Is Carlos Santana covering Beatles song "Let It Be" with Justin Bieber. Carlos Santana preformed his guitar very well in this song.

What do you think?

Pitbull.

Really, I very much dislike Pitbull, and feels he ruins every single thing he touches. He has no business being any song he's ever featured in, he just starts rambling on like a tough guy in mixed Spanish and English and just ruins songs that otherwise have a potential of being good.

Santana did a huge disservice to himself by sharing a stage with bieber, why would he lower himself like that?
I have now lost all respect for Santana.

And Pitbull, haven't heard of him til now, and I hope I never hear of him again.

I agree that Pitbull is lame and Santana is skilled but why is he degrading himself by making music together with lame musicians?

Pitbull is not Lame. The reason why I like Pitbull, is because his music reflects on his Cuban routes. I am very interested in Latin American culture and music.

As for Carlos Santana, another of my favorite musicians, I was pleased that he worked with such a popular singer. I am trying to be mainstream as possible in my taste of music.

I put a bit of my story on there, too. I read yours, but I just don't agree with the conclusion you came to. I love pop music, just I more or less can't stand 90% of the music coming out of my country nowadays due to it being too much about sex and partying and general inane things like that.
