rockin' song!

How can you give this song less then 5 or 4 stars? I like this song a LOT and it's fun to dance to. It incorporates pop and rock with of course a latin influence. I reccomended DEFINATLY to copy-off Enrique Iglesias's "Hero." C'mon folks get this CD or download the song...'cause it's bangin'! February 5, 2002

Shallow

I wonder if those people who rate this song so highly have actually really, really listened to it. The music is no bad, and that's the reason I guess that it's so popular, but the lyrics are so banal and shallow. "She walks like she talks and she talks like she walks"...what's that supposed to mean? Doh! If these are the types of lyrics that Ricky likes to sing, then I dread to think what his next song will be like. But so many people, they really do not let lyrics of songs sink in, so they miss the real meaning of them. I would state the other lyrics in the song, but I am afraid Amazon will censor my review. It wouldn't be the first time. February 12, 2001

Sexy and Fun To Dance To.

I have been listening to Ricky Martin, since the 1980's. He is one of the few Male Singers in the music business, who actually sounds truely good, singing Live in person. She Bangs, is one of those few songs that I never get tired of listening to over and over. The beat makes me shake my hips all over the house. These Remixes on the CD are just Sexy, along with the Lyrics of the song. Truely Great Sounding Music, with a Sexy Singing Voice, would make any boring and sad day, seem Fun and More Uplifting. I would also like to say, She Bangs will make you want to dance all the time. February 9, 2001

"She Bangs"is "Livin La Vida Loca" part 2

"She Bangs" is no slump for Ricky Martin.Its climbing up the charts.There's no stopping this kid.I love the down beat of this song,and when you go to the area clubs,the croud goes nuts when the DJ plays"She Bangs," the same way everyone did when "Livin La Vida Loca" came out. November 24, 2000

Second time slump

After a smash Latin-based hit like 'Livin the Vida Loca', I found this comeback single rather disappointing (indeed, its failing to burn up the charts). Despite its' peppy overtones and Martin's dreary attempts to spice things up, it slumps midway and never really recovers (the same can be said of his new album as well).

Perhaps Martin needs different songs and different songwriters, for this CD single lacks creativity and is utterly uninspiring. Naturally, this will also find buyers galore as Ricky has built up a solid fanbase, but in terms of musical content, 'She Bangs' is half-dead, and ultimately boring. And thats certainly something that we didn't expect from Ricky Martin.

This is the Import version of the CD single, and it costs a bunch. I wouldn't buy this unless I were a true blue fan, as the version thats on the radio is quite sufficient, thank you. Not at all recommended. November 22, 2000
