Beyonce sings in Spanish on charity Mi Gente remix

Beyonce
Beyonce has added her voice to a new version of Mi Gente, the global hit single by J Balvin and Willy William.
The star sings in Spanish, French and English on the song - which is being released for charity.
"I am donating my proceeds from this song to hurricane relief charities for Puerto Rico, Mexico and the other affected Caribbean islands," wrote Beyonce on her Instagram page.
The song clocked up more than 100,000 views on YouTube in just 30 minutes


I am donating my proceeds from this song to hurricane relief charities for Puerto Rico, Mexico and the other affected Caribbean islands. To help go to Beyonce.com/reliefefforts. 

Beyonce mentions the victims of the recent earthquake and hurricanes in the lyrics, singing: "Lift up your people/ From Texas to Puerto Rico/ Dem islands to Mexico."
But she also takes a moment to address the pressing topic of her own awesomeness: "I can be a beast or I can give you emotion / But please don't question my devotion / I been giving birth on these haters 'cause I'm fertile."
Mi Gente (My People) has already been a smash hit around the world, reaching the top five in the UK earlier this month.
Even before the humanitarian crisis in Mexico and the Caribbean, the song was a rallying call for unity in a time of division.
In the remix, Colombian star J Balvin retains his original lyric "Mi musica no discrimina a nadie" (my music doesn't discriminate against anyone).
"Music has to be a tool to unite people, to get people together," he told the BBC in August. "It doesn't matter the race, the language, the culture. So that's what I'm saying when I sing that line."J Balvin in the video for Mi Gente
Many pop stars have reached out to help victims of hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria and the earthquake in Mexico.
Rapper Pitbull was praised for sending his private plane to hurricane-hit Puerto Rico to transport cancer patients to the US mainland; while Jennifer Lopez has joined forces with her ex-husband Marc Anthony to create Somos Una Voz (We Are A Voice), "an alliance of artists working together to rush food, shelter, medicine, power and communications to those in need."
Hamilton and Moana composer Lin-Manuel Miranda is also recording a charity single, and tweeted footage from the studio on Thursday night.

Meanwhile, Beyonce's husband Jay-Z will join Chris Brown, Cardi B, Daddy Yankee, DJ Khaled, Jennifer Lopez, A$AP Ferg, Fifth Harmony, Iggy Azalea and others at a benefit concert in Brooklyn on 17 October.
And Bruce Springsteen has released a special edition live album, with all proceeds benefiting MusiCares Hurricane Relief fund, which will aid those affected by the hurricanes in Houston and Florida.

the weird rules the royal family are expected to follow. (But break all the time).

The weird rules the royal family are expected to follow. (But break all the time). In international news this week, a guy held his girlfriend’s hand. ^^ That sort of thing tends to earn a fair bit of attention when you’re in line to succeed the throne as ruler of a Commonwealth of nations. Especially if that thing, well, just isn’t generally done. “Prince Harry Broke Royal Protocol with Meghan Markle”, “Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Royal PDA May Have Been Against the Rules”, “Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Broke a MAJOR Royal Rule”, the headlines read. But the truth is, the Royals – especially the younger ones – break protocol all the time. Because, let’s face it, a lot of them (the rules, that is) are really bloody weird. Here are a few they’ve tossed out the window. They mustn't let people touch them And not just girlfriends. The media went nuts in 2009 when Michelle Obama and the Queen stood side-by-side with (then) US First Lady Michelle Obama, the...
