It says a lot for Mexican singing sensation Paulina Rubio's self-confidence that she's included a disco version of the Kiss song "I Was Made For Loving You" on her English-language debut. It's stripped down and perky, much like the rest of BORDER GIRL--as the daughter of a famous Mexican actress, Rubio has been around showbiz long enough to know when to keep it simple.
