Why Did She Even Bother???
Filed under: Jessica Alba > Barack ObamaA bunch of Latino stars, including Alejando Sanz and Paulina Rubio, have banded together to make a video for Barack Obama.
They're all speaking Spanish in it, except for Jessica "Don't Call Me Latina" Alba, who speaks in English.
Her presence there is so laughable!

Why is she so scared to be called Latina? I dont get that. Is she mixed with other things so she doesnt want to be called just one race?
Not that it matters anyways….
Go Obama(it aint gonna happen tho)!
biggest bitch in hollywood
lmaoooo she sucks
so just because a bunch of stars chant "Obama" people are gona go vote for him? Silly Americans…
she is a joke. seriously why is she even in this?
PEREZ FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!
i remember seeing that jessica alba part in a diff. obama video so the obviously just added her ….she didn't film her part for that exact video
She looks so embarassed to even be in the commercial. Her body language just says it all. Just because you WERENT raised Latina, doesn't mean your blood isn't Latino.
She's so stupid. Trying to be white. You're not white honey!!!!!!!!
she's muy stupido!
FIRST…..
maybe she cannot speak Spanish
shes a fake
OMG she has NO right being there!!! shes not proud of her heritage and thats a slap in the face to all of us latinos to put her there!
whoever put her there is fucking ridiculous.
LMAOO she looks so fucking stupid!
Why does everyone think she is so hot? She's cute, but she is not gorgeous and has absolutely no sex appeal. She's definitely no Angelina Jolie in the looks department.
What a lame comment from Alba - it had nothing to do with Obama.
I LOVE YOU ALEJANDRO SANZ!!!
She is so pathetic… have some pride in who you are and where you came from!
It wouldn't have killed her to learn a line or two and speak some Spanish! I took enough Spanish classes over the years to understand almost everything those celebs were saying, and I don't even consider myself fluent!!! She's REALLY stupid, though.
She's such a twat.
ALEJANDRO SANZ!!!
}I LOVE YOU!!
couldn't they teach her anything in spanish? should have been cut!!!
She threw the whole video off. Why couldn't she have just said that in spanish? I think thet was the whole point to the video…
SANZ!!!
Perez, she tells people she is Pakistani. It's so obviously not true. She is Latina and she is so ashamed. She should brush up on her spanish or at least say something that makes her believable. I find her fake and garbage. She also is so not hot.
perez, why do you discriminate against latinos who've been in this country for more than a couple of generations? any group of people whose ancestors have been here for more than 2 generations lose their ability to speak the earlier language - certainly they don't speak it as a "mother tongue". imagine your grandchildren. will they speak Spanish and identify so completely with being Cuban as you do? I sincerely doubt it, no matter how hard you might try.
what was the point of having her in that commercial anyway? she didnt add anything to it.
She does seem out of place. Who allowed her to do that if the ad is targeted towards a spanish audience? I must say however that the ad is like a bad reggae vid. LOSE THE SONG!! JUST LET THE PEOPLE SPEAK (without jessica) THEIR MINDS WITHOUT THAT DUMB ASS SONG IN THE WAY!
Awkward.
i seriously dont know why they added her into this video,everyone was together as one representing latinos and latinas and here comes ms."dont call me latina"alba speaking in english.i seriously think shes such an embarassment to all latinos for not wanting to be called latina.she IS hispanic and she should be proud of her race
Good for her. After all, last time I checked ENGLISH is still the official language of the United States…not Spanish.
She is not Paki. She tells people she's Pakistani too. She's an insult to her culture. She makes me ill. BARF! Jessica Alba is disgusting and so fake.
WTF…. Why is she there for?? just because her last name is LATINO WTF,,, she is so PATETIC!!!!! and she looks FATTTTTTTT,,,,, i hate her!!! ans si soy latina!!!!!
oh that's just wrong she needs to learn spanish…get wit the program girl
WHAT A DISGRACE!!!!
Shit, why did she even bother?? Why does she even bother with anything she does? Seriously, go away, Alba.
HAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
I still don't understand why us as a latin community want to make her something she is not.. she doesn't want to be latina, oh well her life! If she isn't willing to accept her origins then let her be, she doesn't deserve the attention the latin community want to give her! Just don't mix her with the latinos!
Cool vid. I saw Lila Downs. She looks amazing.
why is she even in this? That is so stupid. Everyone is speaking in spanish and then there she is! wow.
No Perez you are FN dumb!!!
If she is ashamed the why is she even in the video.
Let it go Perez.
She sucks what a fake!!!!
This is so pathetic half of the people on that video (Paulina, Alejandro,…) are not citizens and therefore they cant vote! Paulina was even denied her right to apply cause she gave positive on the drug test
Hey Perez..I'm sure your Spanish sucks too! Get off her case! I don't know why you are so obsessed with her like you are? Maybe you want to be pretty Hollywood actress, and God just made you a fat, ugly drag queen blogger!
So what you're saying is that "latinos", "hispanics" or whatever term is politically correct today can't understand English? Last time I checked, English was the language of the United States and she is choosing to speak the language of her birth nation. What's laughable about that? You are such a petulant asshole. Your site sucks. You suck. Wait til karma comes looking for you.
Jessica Alba is such a fake and disgusting person. Not to mention a terrible actress.
that's because she doesn't want to be associated with spics who stab people, steal, and have 15 kids by the time they're 23 years old.
Why is that clown even in the video??? She should have at least made an effort to learn some Spanish for this video. All the other artists are real artists who are extremly proud of their raices. Go LationS!!!! Si Se Puede.
SECOND! and i think she is beautiful..
He need to stop acting like hi is a latino. I am so over Obama! Used to like the guy but hi is to mush to deal with! Jessica "Don't Call Me Latina" Alba needs to stop try to be cute latina it doesn't work for her she was trying for to long to hide her latina said!
what a skank..SHES SUCH A DISSRESPECTFUL DUMBASS
why should she speak Spanish when she is american? If you don't stop acting like we are all a bunch of tribes when we are a NATION, we won't get anywhere. Stop hyphenating and start working for unity. Obama likes to talk about racism as IF he has been exposed to it. He went to a private exclusive prep school, went to an upper class law school- makes millions, etc. He didn't spend his childhood in the USA, so he couldn't have faced anything there. So he comes in and is influenced by racists. He COULD have been great. But he isn't a uniter. he is, in fact, a divider. He can't stop dealing with hateful people. And white people- he hates YOU. By the way, this is NOT Mexico or Cuba, etc. Immigrants used to be so proud of how their kids spoke English. You act like speaking English is a crime!
LOL
Good point, Malibu!!
Ok- I am a bit confused - is obama running for president in the United states or Mexico. Last time I checked we speak ENGLISH.
PS- I am not racist and we are a hispanic family.
She's a knob, and a disgrace to the effort put into that video. She should be embarassed.
Shame on my people. They should be supporting Hillary. Morons…
Why did they even bother having her there? I wonder how much $ they wasted on her
what a bunch of Traders!
ugh! who the hell invited jessica alba to participate. I read her latina magazine article. are you fucking kidding me? its a "poor jessica" was rejected by her community cuz she doesnt speak spanish article. It made the latino community seem elitist or rejecting of people who dont speak spanish. Fucking ridiculous! If someone can please send this jessica alba! JESSICA ERES UNA IDOTA! will smith goes to mexico, he doesnt speak spanish and they love him! SELENA sang in spanish but really didnt speak it in conversation and people loved her! THATS THE LAMEST EXCUSE I EVER HEARD. You have a shitty ass attitude and a shitty personality. THATS WHY PEOPLE DONT LIKE YOU. you have no carisma. I hate people like you that will bank off our community. Getting the latina magazine covers, people en espanol covers, and now our obama commercials? your probably a closeted republican voting for mccain.
what a fucking joke!!! it looks like they accidentally stuck a clip of her in there. it totally screws up the flow of the ad. she such a douche.
who cares about her baby.
it's not like the child will ever know it has latin roots, anyways.
& she should just take the ALBA off her name already, WARREN seems to suit her attitude better. simply a disgrace
Re: mmmmmm – EXACTLY!!!!
Who were the two people singing in the video. They've got greart voices. And I don't know maby she never learned to speak spanish but still denying your heritage kinda sucks
Jessica Alba is not Pakistani. She is Mexican and she can deny it all she wants, but the proof is there. She can't keep track of her lies because she's a fake. Her acting is also so bad, no wonder all of her movies tank.
Why is she even in the commercial??? Alba is not proud of bein a Latina…. and I guess memorizing a couple of lines in Spanish is above her intelectual level. Que pena me das chica!
you're right she is laughable. Why do people bother with her she probably thinks Obamas white like her…I mean they do live in estados unidos together. Jessica "dont call me latina" alba that means the US in spanish…please don't cash in on your roots when it suits you you have no idea how much it hurts PROUD latinas
Jessica Alba is a waste of time. I don't know why they even put her in that endorsement to begin with.
Que verguenza– la wueona (la alba) embarro' todo…. pero x lo menos hablo del medioabiente…..
i don't speak spanish, and i think this is a truelly beautiful and inspiring ad, and she just ruins it!
I am not an American citizen, pero me gusta el video. Venga Obama, si se puede!!
I like it…one thing i found funny….George Lopez's head is to big that it gets cut off the screen lol
Re: Luxuri – I totally agree with you and I'm not even Latina!
Get that stupid bi**h Jessica "DCML" alba out of here…what the hell was the point of her dumbass in it?! ugh! total grossness!
-ELIAS "TH3 FLY3ST"
THIS IS OFFENDING!!! OMBAMA SUCK! WHY DO THE OTHER RACES SEGREGATE THEMSELEVES LIKE THAT!! AND THEY CALL WHITE PEOPLE RACIST! I HATE OBAMA HIS NAME SOUNDS LIKE OSAMA! DONT VOTE OBAMA UNLESS U WANT THIS COUNTRY TO GO COMPLETELY DOWN THE TOLIET!
I bet Jessica Alba doesn't even know how to speak Spanish.
Re: huh? – You are so ignorant, it isn't even worth commenting further.
I don't get the hype with this woman. She's not good looking and she can't act. She has absolutely no talent what-so-ever.
they should learn how to speak english like jessica
okay… so her last name is spanish. she was not raised latin, she doesn't speak spanish… guess what… THEN SHE IS NOT LATIN. this is not something that is phenotypical or carried in your genes. it is the CULTURE in which you are raised. and she was not raised in any latin culture.
if she so much doesnt wanna be called latina…why the fuck did she do this? and she doesnt even have the decency to speak in spanish like everyone else? hello this was made for latinos…its only proper that u speak in their language…dumbass alba!
She fucked up this beautiful ad. People think she is cute and that her talking in the middle was cute. She sucks really bad. She also has a fake voice and her acting is terrible. Jessica Alba is a huge fake, not to mention ugly and an idiot.
What I can't beleive is that all of these very talanted people would get involved with politics, I really don't care about Jessica Alba. Who know what kind of prez Obama will be. I personally have a bad feeling about all of this politics shit, I don't think any of our current canadits are any better than Bush.
My spanish is not that great but I still consider myself a latino (and a proud one at that) but Jessica was wrong for saying she was ashamed of being latina!
She's sort of homely. I don't get the appeal.
LynManuel Miranda! Yeah In the Heights on Broadway!
Obama is a racist!
she could of atleast attempted some spanish words or better yet couldn't they have just showed her face instaed of hearing her speak enligsh for a spnish ad!!
Jessica you said you're not latina so don't cash in on the advert it's nice to see that the white people dont want you to be in their adverts so you go running to your roots too little too late. btw the adverts for Obama not some multi purpose cleaner puta!
Re: lily – Why does she have to label herself Latina??? Why do you have to set yourself apart based on your blood as the only way of showing pride in your ancestry? Isn't THAT racist? Since I have French blood, does that mean I should be hanging out only with French people, smoking Gauloises and speaking French??? You know why Perez is so hung up on this? Because he is a fat, insecure twat - viva la Cuba is the only way he can make himself seem important (that and defaming celebrities and pretneding he knows somehting about music). You are an idiot to believe the hateful tantrums Perez regularly has when celebrities refuse to suck his sphincter dry.
Screw Obama, he is the spawn of a terrorist, he is pure evil and will be the cause of the next civil war.
Stupid Video!
Half of them aren't even American Citizens or residents!
Re: Mrs. B – Exactly my thoughts. Just because some artist aks me to do something, am I going to do it? HEEEEEEEEEELL NO!!
Another thing, Paulina Rubio can't even vote, I don't even think she is a U.S. citizen yet. She was about to lose her green card status about 4 years ago. Alejandro Sanz, I don't even think he lives in the U.S. I don't even know about the citizenship status of the other artists is, but why the heck am I going to listen to a bunch of people who can't even do what they are asking me to do?
i'm voting for him just cuz Voltio is in this clip not cuz of "dont call me latina" HAHA
Re: CoDy A – She never said she was "ashamed" of being Latina - she was referring to the experience of her youth and what kind of perceptions were accepted. This isn't high school, you idiots! Learn the facts before you form such harsh opinions of people. And please, DON'T VOTE. You obviously don't think for yourselves.
Alba being in this video was real random. The rest of the video was nicely put together. Doesnt matter who people are voting for or if you like the latin race or not. It was a well put together video, minus the Jessica Alba part.
I can't stand her she is so fake.. I've seen bigger stars who are not hispanic try and speak the language. Who ever put this together should have made her speak spanish or not do it at all… I can't stand someone who is spanish only when it's beneficial to them
she's such a moron. why not just go with the flow and speak spanish like everyone else? stupid bitch. maybe she cant speak it….if her language arts are as good as her "Acting" i'd bet no.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!
WHAT AN IDIOT!!!!!
AND ANOTHER THING PAULINA RUBIO ISNT EVEN AMERICAN!!!!!! HAHHAHA SHE DIDNT PASS THE DRUG TEST FOR A GREEN CARD — DENIED!! JUST BECUZ THEYRE CELEBS DOESNT MEAN IMA GO VOTE FOR HIM.. WHY DO THEY DO THIS. ?
