Juanes - Gotas de Agua dulce

[Juanca]

This is the second single from the album "La Vida es un Ratico" and is currently storming up the charts (#9 in its third week in R&R Pop chart and #16 in BB Hot Latin Songs in its second week)

One clip to hear it:

when I first heard this song, i did not like it, then my friend manny lopez told me he was doing the ofiicial remixes to this song because it was the second single to the album..... like he did for "me enamora" and I listened to it again and I thought it's ok.. now they play it a lot on the radio here in chicago and I have to admit the more I listen to it the more I like it... I likes it now :) ...

[Juanca]

Well... I am certainly having less interest on Juanes in this era. I was expecting something refreshing with it, something if not better at least new or different... and 'Me Enamora' disappointed me as a lead single. I know it has remained at top of Latin charts for N weeks, but still it sounds like another Juanes song to me, and another of his average ones.
In this case, I am not a fan of GDAD either. It may grow a bit on me in the coming weeks, since at least is a bit different and more 'tropical' than ME, but still I think Juanes decided to play even safer in this album and avoided getting more originality and versatility.
I haven't listened to other tracks on the album, so I could not comment on the album as a whole, but if these singles are the best representatives of LVEUR, I think Juanes should take a good break before his next album, and return when he gets better material.

[djtrini]

yeah he did play it safe, I don't like the whole album but I do have a favorite song from it and it's the one that gives the album it's title La Vida Es Solo Un Ratico, that's my favorite song from the album...

Boring. Boring. Boring!

Juanes's worst single ever!

[circadian]

I didn't like this when I first listened to the album... and when I found out this was the second single, I was shocked...

But now, It's starting to grow on me... I love the chorus! Already at the top, way to go Juanes!

[Juanca]

And this got a week at #1 on the Latin Songs Chart of Billboard.... after the endless #1 Me Enamora. Surely, he will receive a bunch of Latin Grammys too.
Don't like when artists become a staple and get HUGE success with just mediocre productions. IMO, Juanes slept on his fame (se durmio en sus laureles) and just produced another album as compromise without caring much of it. And, of course, he succeeded!
Meh!

Meh!

Couldn't have said it better myself!

I think this is the first Juanes single I don't really like. I mean, the song does not bother me, but I don't feel it like all his previous singles. Ok, I haven't listened to it much, maybe just 4 times, but other of his songs I've liked since the very first time.
I guess I would have to download it and see if it grows in me....

I wish I were as lucky as you. I hear it on latin radio 24/7!

[Carlitoz]

Ha, ha. What happens is that I haven't been listening radio lately since there's nobody out there who really excites me these days. I've been 99% of the time listening to my ipod.

In the last week, I switched to radio more often and heard the songs often too. It is still just ok to me. I'm not loving it.

[kinglouiexviii]

The only reason why I listen to radio is because I have a lengthy commute every morning to school. I go back and forth between my local KISS station and my local latin pop station, XO.

But yeah, radio sucks for the most part!
