Selena Gomez Tests Her Spanish Singing Skills

By Michael Lopez

It looks like Selena Gomez is one step closer to recording a full-fledged Spanish album. Her first Español single (a translated version of “A Year Without Rain”) hit the market last month and has been getting some very positive feedback. And on a recent Lopez Tonight appearance, she expressed some big bilingual plans.

“Exactly what Shakira did was my dream. Because I feel like for my family it would make them very proud. It would be my dream to put out an entire album in Spanish.”

Just imagine the kind of a hot duet she could pull off with Shaki. And seeing how successful Selena’s current Year Without Rain album is (a Top 5 on the Billboard Charts), we could easily see her record company letting her do whatever she wants for a followup.

In case you haven’t noticed, going bilingual is becoming a very popular trend these days. David Archuleta expressed his desires to belt out some Español tunes and Nelly Furtado just grabbed a Latin Grammy for her first all-Spanish album, Mi Plan.

So when can we expect some new Selena Gomez musica? Well there’s still another season of Wizards Of Waverly Place on tap, that new Monte Carlo movie, and the whole 2010 Rain Tour. But as long as she keeps cranking through that Rosetta Stone software, we imagine it won’t be very long at all.
