Selena Gomez’s Cover of Buju Banton Song Is Fucking Horrible


July 22, 2013 | Bucky Turco

I have no problem with Miley Cyrus making twerk videos or songs about twerk videos, but Selena Gomez’s reworking of Buju Banton’s hit tune “Walk Like a Champion” is just terrible. It should have never happened and it’s too bad there’s no way to strike it from existence in every dimension just in case there are alternate universes. As if Buju Banton, who’s currently sitting in prison under dubious circumstances, wasn’t punished enough, this comes along. You can hear his original here and compare it to her rendition which is so bad of a perversion, it should barely be considered a cover. Or a homage. Or anything. Also, Selena’s birthday song, which also sounds dancehall-y, sucks.
