July 30, 200618 yr Shakira's music video wasn't cheap actually far from it... I'm glad she didn't perform.. if you released a song and it was huge and the bbc wouldn't playlist or class it as good enough for there tv shows but then want you to sing it when they need you to for one of there shows would you ..erm no.
July 30, 200618 yr Unfortunately these days, Radio 1 sees itself as a cool student station than the family station it once was.
July 30, 200618 yr Why has this thread turned into a bitching session between Shakira fans & Christina fans?
July 30, 200618 yr Why has this thread turned into a bitching session between Shakira fans & Christina fans? Yeah it has a little bit, can we get back on topic please folks? :lol:
July 30, 200618 yr Absolutley OUTRAGEOUS that Shakira was the last ever video played on TOTP. A show which has seen so many outstanding and influencial grace the stage now bows out to a cheesy, tacky, cheap video of a song that could be written by a 10 year old. I cannot believe (if true) that they scrapped the Christina performance. At least she has more of an idea of the impact TOTP had here as she's performed on it so many times during the late 90's/00's. They should have played the performance instead of Shakira's video. What!? Shakira has performed on TOTP plenty of times - Whenever, Wherever, Underneath Your clothes, Objection and Don't Bother. She's the biggest artist in the world right now - why doesn't she have the right to be the last #1 on TOTP. And why would Shakira come and record a performance for the BBC, who have continued to snub her song on Radio 1 and give her absolutely no support. Edited July 30, 200618 yr by Ashley
July 30, 200618 yr Well it's confirmed, there will be a christmas TOTP this year. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
July 30, 200618 yr Yes, this is about TOTP, and how it has gone, not about Christina vs Shakira! :lol:
July 30, 200618 yr you got to understand the history between the bbc/radio1 and shakira they have been really hostile to her with HDL for no good reason, if i was shakira i wouldn't bother with them they snubbed her, why should she owe them anything especially since its the last show? the ending of totp was perfect....sweet justice to have a video played for the final number #1 denying them of credibility....the nail is blasted deep into the coffin by the public that bought shakira this week!! lets puts it this way if radio 1 had supported HDL from the beginning 8 weeks ago shakira would have had massive sales peaked a few weeks back, will have been number #1 for 3 or 4 weeks then would have slowly descended leaving #1 easy for xtina and the live performance on totp its their fault it turned out this way but they have something against shakira and she and the public are humiliating them in return they got exactly what they deserved :P Edited July 30, 200618 yr by perfecto

July 30, 200618 yr it really doesnt matter about totp for christina anyway, yes a number 1 single would of been an AMAZING comeback but she will absolutley slaughter shakira with album sales all over the world!! :D let shakira have her one hit off the album... :D
July 31, 200618 yr I hope that TOTP have lots of viewers for the final episode. I hope so too. It deserves to go out on a high.

FO1 did very well around the world and OF2 is doing very well..
July 31, 200618 yr Shakira's music video wasn't cheap actually far from it Well it certainly looks it.
July 31, 200618 yr totp allways finished with the current #1..... if its shakira then she should be played. Thank you! Why don't people realise that? If Shakira is the current number one, then she should be played at the end.
July 31, 200618 yr From Media Guardian... 10.15am: Top of the Pops went out on a high last night with 3.9m viewers. More follows I did post it on the chart forum as it is relevant but it was moved to the TV ratings forum (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)
