Posted December 3, 200816 yr Shakira cantará en la toma de mando de Barack Obama en la Casa Blanca 17:15 | La cantante colombiana será la única intérprete latina en la asunción del presidente de los Estados Unidos el próximo mes de enero Washington.- La cantante colombiana Shakira será la única intérprete latina a cantar en la toma de poder del presidente electo de Estados Unidos, Barack Obama en enero próximo, según fuentes. Mientras la cantante Beyoncé ya externó su deseo de actuar en el día de la pose de Obama en la Casa Blanca, al parecer Shakira ya ha sido invitada. Cuando el presidente electo todavía estaba en campaña agradeció el apoyo que recibió de la intérprete colombiana: "Es un honor para mi el recibir tanto apoyo de alguien con tanto talento, y de una artista tan generosa". http://www.elcomercio.com.pe/ediciononline...asa-blanca.html The article basically says that while Beyoncé expressed her desire to sing at the ceremony, it seems Shakira has already been invited. Maybe a Beautiful Liar performance could be in store...although that wouldn't be very appropriate for a new president.. Edited January 13, 200916 yr by Ashley
December 3, 200816 yr Author This site says she's writing a song for him, although I don't believe it. http://guanabee.com/2008/10/barack-obama-t...hakira-is-1.php
December 4, 200816 yr "i know things about him that you wouldn't want to read about" not really appropriate, so i'm prety sure no BL performance! writing a song just for him would be a great gesture, she has time to come up with something simple all about the lyrics then i say go for it. but who knows her schedule.
December 5, 200816 yr Author Perez and Latina magazine are now reporting it... http://perezhilton.com/2008-12-04-shakira-...uration#respond Looks more and more like it could be true.
December 5, 200816 yr Author Yet another report: Shakira's show for Obama (Friday December 05, 2008 01:25 PM) Superstar singer Shakira will celebrate US President-elect Barack Obama's election victory - with a performance at his inauguration party. The Hips Don't Lie hitmaker is reportedly slated to join stars including Susan Sarandon, Spike Lee, and Anne Hathaway at the glitzy event in Washington, DC next month. She was a vocal supporter of Obama during his election campaign, telling reporters: "Obama can restore peace and the world's confidence in the United States." In return, the Democrat voiced his admiration for the Colombian singer's charity work in aid of Latin American children. And Peruvian newspaper El Comercio reports that Shakira is now lined up to perform at a celebration to be held after Obama is formally sworn into office on 20 January. http://uk.news.launch.yahoo.com/dyna/artic...amp;e=l_news_dm http://d.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/xp/wenn/20081205/13/2505822338-shakira-s-show-obama-s.jpg

January 15, 200916 yr excellent! WW would be great to get people dancing and the energy up or "the day and the time" if she wanted to be more serious or "pure intuition"? doubtful though :wacko: all appropriate lyrically but we'll see. just not HDL again.
January 17, 200916 yr Author Looks like she won't be singing one of her songs. There are rumours that she's performing Higher Ground with Stevie Wonder and Usher. There's some pics here: http://www.shakiragallery.com/album/details/4340 of rehearsals. Edited January 17, 200916 yr by Ashley
