May 16, 201015 yr Author I wish Good Stuff would just take off and become a big hit. I think it should've been a single. The singles for this era should've been: She Wolf Did It Again Men In This Town Good Stuff I know Did It Again flopped, but for me, it's an obvious single. She should've come back strong in the new year with Men In This Town and then finished off with Good Stuff as a summer single and also, having the advert as extra promo/
May 16, 201015 yr Are they ever going to release a deluxe version of the album here, with Waka Waka and Give It Up To Me?
May 17, 201015 yr The way this project was handled really depresses me. It's a good pop record. She Wolf should have been released in June with Men In This Town following late summer/September. She Wolf would still fail in the US, but they could have got the latter out before GaGa/Ke$ha/Rihanna etc. She would have built up some momentum before heading into the holidays. I do think Did It Again would have coped better in January, if not then they could have gone with Good Stuff and cross-promoted with the Seat advertisements. The album doesn't really have any other hits on there, just stay with Gypsy, let it flop and move on. Give It Up To Me is still one of the most baffling single choices I've ever witnessed. Truly awful, although if they left it on Shock Value 2 she would have at-least got a little bit of press. Oh Shakira. She Wolf is still such a great song. :wub:
May 19, 201015 yr I like this album. Especially Good Stuff and fan fav. Men in This Town. Did it Again and Gypsy are my least fav. and they were chosen as singles...
May 24, 201015 yr Gypsy is terrible, so bland. The best songs are She Wolf, Men In This Town, Did It Again and Spy.
May 25, 201015 yr I dont like gypsy at all and did it again didnt do much for me either, i loved she wolf but one song wasnt enough to make me buy the album which i have yet to do.
June 27, 201014 yr I'm a bit disappointed she didn't sing songs off this album at Glastonbury apart from She Wolf :( I'd love to have seen her perform 'Men In This Town', 'Good Stuff' and 'Give It Up To Me' :(
July 5, 201014 yr I haven't bought this either. Shakira usually re-releases, so I'm waiting There's not going to be a re-release. Your best bet is to trawl the sales. In Germany they're selling off stock of the album in LIDL stores for 10 euros combined with the Waka Waka CD single so maybe there'll be something similar in the UK or maybe it'll go in HMV's 2 for £10 sale at some point.
July 5, 201014 yr I bought it for 7 euros at cdwow.com, i thought that was worth it. i love the booklet :P.

The UK didn't get a 'Waka Waka' physical. :( But I was in HMV today and the album was in the 2 for £10 section... I might buy it when I get more money. ^_^
July 6, 201014 yr I loaded all of her back catalogue onto my iPod last night, now I've finally got enough space on my laptop and listened to all of her studio albums back to back. The She Wolf album really pales in comparison to the likes of Laundry Service, Donde Estan Los Ladrones and both volumes of Oral Fixation in my opinion :( It's still good but some magic was missing for me, and I know hope's not lost because Waka Waka is truly excellent. I'm very much looking forward to her new Spanish album! :D
July 9, 201014 yr The UK didn't get a 'Waka Waka' physical. :( Ooh, I just saw on HMV.com that there IS a physical! Although it is £5.49 [more than the album], so I don't think I'll be buying it. :lol: Here it is for anyone interested: http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetail...&sku=736683

But by the extremely high standards I have for Shaki it paled in comparison to her other material. Men In This Town is f***ing amazing though.
August 23, 201014 yr Men In This Town had so much potential. It could have given her another Top 20 hit if she decided to release it instead of Gypsy. Im quite annoyed Give It Up To Me wasn't on the UK album, or wasn't released at all here. I really loved that song for AGES and still do, :wub:
