No crossover blues

NEW YORK: Thalia, already a star among Latin music and television fans, is facing one of the biggest challenges of her career as she tries to transplant her success to American airwaves. Yet ask the Mexican beauty if she's nervous about the "crossover" of her English-language debut, and the 31-year-old singer-actress shrugs with a smile. "To me, a big crossover was what happened to me years ago, like bringing my music in Spanish to Europe or Asia. To me, that's a crossover because Spanish is not a language that everybody talks," said Thalia. "It was double or triple the work, so I think that's a crossover," she said. "This is just expanding my music." So far, the expansion plan seems to be working. Her first song, `I Want You', featuring rapper Fat Joe, is already a growing hit on urban and pop radio.
