Shakira ruins it. Rihanna's solo parts are nice. Agreed. It's pretty good as is, but I think I would like it a lot more if it was just a solo Rihanna song.

Ugh @ Shakira's voice. She is abyssmal as an English artist. Her lyrics and voice just do not translate at all to English language music.
Which is a shame because this is a really cute song.

I did not expect this to be so... "Shakira" sounding. I LOVE it. Oh and these 2 goats sound great together

See I actually don't mind Shakira's voice but that's just me. Rihanna sounds so... idk, empty. There's really nothing to her voice to me here, which is weird because usually she's a feature highlight.

I think their voices mesh well together. Shakira provides the chanty monotone where Rihanna's is a bit more colorful and off-beat.
I still can't purchase this on iTunes. The page is down.

I feel like Rihanna's voice sounds so fresh in this one, especially when compared to Shakira's.

I'm liking it very much after listening to it perhaps already 8 times. My first impression was not excited at all, ok song. Then I listened to it for a second time and started loving it. I like the fact that they didn't go for yet another dance song. This one of course is pop, but love the rock guitar sound and the ska touches. It's not as sexual or sensual as I was expecting it to be for being a duet of Shakira and Rihanna. Perhaps the video will bring that element BIG TIME. I couldn't be happier today with 3 new songs: this one, the new Paloma Faith and the new Lily Allen!! :)

This is really catchy! I see it doing better than Beautiful Liar and She Wolf, but it's obviously not another Whenever Wherever or Hips Don't Lie. I like it!

I feel like Rihanna's voice sounds so fresh in this one, especially when compared to Shakira's. That's the beauty of the song. It brings out something new in Rihanna too. It's very Shakira, making Rihanna sound fresh when she's been on radio nonstop the past few years. It's fun, catchy and will sound great on the radio.

Overhyped song. This is nothing more than a 5 rating out of 10.

That was very monotonous. It seemed very one-dimensional and fairly disappointing considering she's had many great lead singles. She Wolf is in another galaxy compared to this.

I really like the production on the chorus. It has more punch than Shakira songs usually do, while maintaing the organic sound she does so well.
Rihanna was a perfect choice for a feature/duet on this track. She's flawless at the island-swag thing, but to me it does feel like she's kind of a non-entity and blends in a little too well instead of standing out.

I like the rock sound it has. Rihanna sounds good on the track. I'm not going to lie, Shakira is my girl and all, but her english is bad.

Finally you can access it on iTunes in the US. Listening to it again and loving it more.

I like it. To be honest, this probably falls in the top 25% of Shakira's English singles for me.

on second listen, this is starting to be a jam!!! And Rihanna makes me like it even more. i like that the title in the chorus is not repeated successively like in the snippet. On repeat on Spotify!!
