The Latin Grammy's

So this evening I am being introduced to something new. Something I never new existed, or even gave any thought to.
Yes, I am referring to the Latin Grammy's.
As I am sitting here watching what looks like a Puerto Rico version of Eminem... I suddenly have a thought... I know, I really shouldn't do that. :)
I started my question out with "I have a dumb question"... (just imagine the look I got)
I proceed to ask, if it is harder to write music to go with the lyrics in a song because there is what sounds like a lot more syllables in Spanish words than in English words......
Yeah, I really did ask that..... And yes, I was told that was a dumb question.
