This is very risky, but it sounds really hot. This could be huge for her.

^ I love the way the title is worked into that cover but I am not feeling the picture at all. Either way I'm kind of indifferent when it comes to single covers.
On another note I must say I can't stop playing the LQ Spanish version available on Youtube. I am really excited for this song!

WOW!!! I did not want to comment only based on the LQ Spanish version, but after hearing it for 3 times, I can't help it!!! And... ... ... it's NOT a good opinion In fact, this is the most disappointing first Spanish single I am hearing from her, considering the Superstar she is now. This could have been okay some years ago, but not now! I am not even sure if I am hearing Shakira or Thalia! And I am not talking about the production or the song itself. That is okay (although I was expecting some fusion, musical changes, something to be surprised of, which never came!). It's more other details: 1) Lyrics I know Shaki wants to put some ridiculous lyrics once in a while, but this is verging on embarassing: - tu apenas me das caramelos (mmm, okay...) - Tengo tacones de aguja magnetica/ para dejar a la manada frenetica (it reminds me of the lyrics of Thalia's Arrasando trying to rhyme whatever words she came up with: "Ghandi, Lutero y Madre Teresa / aunque pasen muchos años se hablara de su entereza"- eww!) - La luna llena como una fruta (is that a phrase from a pre-kinder poem?) 2) Baby Shakira! I know she likes to throw a baby voice once in a while, but the high notes here exaggerated that element. SHe sounded like a retarded baby! the vocoder wasn't too flattering for her voice either. The voice in the chorus and the intro are especially irritating 2) Rap/singing? the way she does the rap/singing bridge is like trying too hard to pronounce the lyrics, as if reading. No! 3) Sexy kitten This is the most embarassing for me, and again it reminded me of the style of bubble pop that Thalia used to sing that I found so annoying. She sort of goes down with her voice plus her kitten style. Bad combination IMO. And then the minute 1 is especially hair-upping: "tu apenas me das caramelos AH!" (what was that MOAN?!) "AUUUUU!!!!" (was she trying to howl? that is ridiculously embarassing!!) I know that, in many cases, the Spanish version is worse than the English version. The lyrics may sound more idiotic and the singing may sound different, too, so I still have hopes. However the fact that she has gone more with the high notes instead of the low makes me worry. I am confident that the English version will be better. Hope that it is enough to make me forget the Spanish version. I still like the music, the structure and other elements of the song, but being a Latin myself who knows of the different Latin styles of songs and singers, I cannot help but being turned off by this version...

I hope this new single has a multi-layered sound of sorts. I for one would love to hear something that maintains that rock and roll edge that made her famous to begin with, but also incorporates something along the line of the aggressive rhythm, electronia leaning of "Timor" perhaps. Or perhaps something that leans somewhat contemporary R&B but is also infused with traditional Latin or Arabic instruments/sounds to make it sound original and somewhat unconventional, which Shakira has also built her career upon. She has gone this far by sounding friendly enough for contemporary radio while also making an honest effort to bend the rules and make it sound as unconventional as possible. And I think Shakira, who has control of her career in the most part, understands that better than anybody, so I'm optimistic she won't simply try and duplicate "Hips Don't Lie" fivefold. Sincerely, Noah Eaton lol....just like you predicted ....

I agree, I love it. I think it got some people by surprise because its pretty different from what's on the radio, but I think radio will embrace it since its catchy and fresh sounding.

Love the HQ!!! The instrumental is amazing, and her voice is heaven! I still hate the howling thing... but it'll grew on me... I can see my station spinning this all day long, it will be a Latin smash without a doubt... Lets just wait for the English version

Spanish version in HQ!!! I agree, I love it. I think it got some people by surprise because its pretty different from what's on the radio, but I think radio will embrace it since its catchy and fresh sounding. She looks so freaking HOT! Seriously, this song is PERFECT!! The beginning reminds me a bit of Daft Punk, and then that hot bass line kicks in. And loooove that funky guitar riff. Seriously this is so f**king perfect. Shaki is a GODDESS!!!! www.imeem.com/people/ZxZfD-o/music/dBz6AzsU/shakira-loba/
