Salena Gomez sample inprisoned Jamaican Reggae star Buju Banton... horrible?

Buju Banton

Salena Gomez

In a recent report it was indicated that Pop singer Selena Gomez who recently celebrated her 21st birthday, has done a remake of Buju Banton’s 1995 hit tune “Champion”.

The track starts with Buju deejaying the original lyrics before Selena comes in singing. The chorus features Selena who is reportedly still dating Justin Bieber singing the lines “Walk Like A Champion”.

So is Selena’s version of Buju’s smash single a hit or a miss? ..well according to critics ..it was f u ck ing horrible .."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."
