Reggaeton blows.

Okay... that's a bit drastic... let me rephrase it.

There are going to be very few markets where Reggaeton "works" and the audience "gets it." If yours isn't one of those markets (in other words, if you don't have a fairly high percentage of Hispanic population), then don't be playing Reggaeton. My competition here in Southern Illinois insists on playing the Reggaeton mix of Alicia Keys' "Karma" and it sounds soooo horrid, especially in a market like this one with such a low percentage of Hispanic population.

So, to answer your question:

It depends on the market that you are in. Me, personally? I think the radio edit is 100x better.<P ID="signature">______________

The Superstition remix of "Karma" is better than the reggae mix.
