Ok, this was just sent my way and I've heard the whole thing now.
This is EASILY her best English single ever. I like it a lot more than "W, W" and about 500x more than the other 3 singles from the last album. It's so cathy and has a great tempo. I love the instrumental, it could easily be from a Cure love song.

I am thrilled that it got radio play already in a few cities. And I must be getting used to her English because I think she's really easy to understand in this song. Much better than the Promosquad version of the song.

They had what they called the World Premiere of Don't Bother at KIIS FM Los Angeles on the Ryan Seacrest show this morning. Reports also say people have heard the song on the radio in Colombia, Paris, Palms Springs. The song just premiered in Miami Y100 at the Kenny and Footy in the Morning Show. Just played in Washington DC and in Spain.

I don't like it as much as "La Tortura", but I'm thinking Top 5 smash for sure.

For a long time I thought she was over in the United States, but this song proves otherwise, I really like this song, it should be another big hit for her!

Showcased on Yahoo news: Shakira Out With New Single Mon Oct 10, 9:00 AM ET Shakira is out with "Don't Bother," the first single from her upcoming English CD, Oral Fixation - Volume 2. In the song, Shakira insists that she's not going to let a former lover upset her, now that he's gotten engaged to a seemingly "perfect" woman. Shakira sings: "I'll be fine/But she's waiting./The ring you gave to her will lose its shine./So don't bother, be unkind." Oral Fixation - Volume 2 is scheduled for release on November 29. It is a follow-up to her Spanish album Fijación Oral - Volumen Uno which entered the Billboard 200 albums chart at Number Four in June. The album was the highest-debuting album in Spanish in the history of the Billboard 200 chart and featured the hit single "La Tortura," which received airplay on both Spanish and English radio stations. news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/launch/20051010/en_launch/24594909

This song is off to an incredible start. Hopefully radio listeners respond well because at the rate it's going the listeners would be the only thing keeping this from the top.

I haven't found one.
Wow! I haven't seen such positive overall response for a song on this board since "We Belong Together".

Across different music forums, AOL etc. people have really positive comments about the song. I am definitely eating crow here, after not being sure that song was good single material. I was way wrong it sounds great on the radio and the final version is great. I am really curious to see how this song does on its iTune debut next week. I think this might have a huge debut. Not as big as Kayne West's or Madonna's will be, but still huge.

Bad news. Paul Cubby Bryant of Z100 just said this is getting mostly negative response.

Oh God that sucks! I played it at school and everybody that heard it loved it. In internet ( shakira fans, haters, and not fan) liked the song so....

Is this the guy who introduced it, calling it 80s and Pat Benatarish? If so, I am not to inclinded to believe him. Unfortunately, Z100 is the most powerful station in the country, so if they don't want to play this song, Shakira's in trouble. LA and Miami played the song like crazy yesterday and they both said it was their most requested song. So, I guess we'll have to see what happens.

Its weird because god knows Z100 played La Tortura a hell of a lot, and still are in fact. The like it a lot more than any other of her English singles though!
