Brief outline of the game
Spanish music game in which players can compete with each other, either on or offline, by singing along with various music videos.
Content specific issues
As with many music videos, flirtation and mild suggestion appear often. Sexual posturing features in the video ‘Born This Way’, in which Lady Gaga wears a bra and tiny briefs, while assuming wide legged stances and occasionally placing her hands around her pubic area. In 'Emocional' by Dani Martin, a happy couple playfight on their bed, with kissing and brief straddling. In the video for Juan Magan’s ‘Mal de Amores’, a woman is seen to hit her boyfriend after he kisses another woman. He flinches but there are no visible marks. The clip is only brief interlude and apparently overcome when he asks her to marry him, which she accepts on his yacht.
