The lyrics for Easy Please Me are horrendous but the melody wins me over...I love the chorus! Go Away is my track of the moment. The big note over the last chorus is biblical.

08. Loca Score: 8.045 XAhTt60W7qo I just don't know what to think of this single... sometimes I think it's an amazing little pop song and other times I just think it's a lame attempt to recreate Hips Don't Lie. It's enjoyable enough, it just annoys me though because it's such a step back from the sound of the She Wolf album.

09. Objection (Tango) Score: 7.954 vxaEsuhj5AE Not one of Shakira's best singles, but for me, the performance I've posted is probably my favourite ever Shakira performance. I would even class it as "career defining" because that performance showed her strength as a pop artist and the artistic genius of Shakira, blending a tribalistic intro with reggae and then bursting into some Rock Lobster bridge. It's completely unexpected but it works. The same can be said for the album version of the song; it's all over the place but somehow it works and makes an awesome pop track.

Yeah, it basically is Scary Movie. The way Scream referenced horror films and the conventions of the genre was pretty clever and refreshing at the time. However, Scream 4 is basically referencing itself and the other Scream films to the point where sometimes it does become parody.

Apparently, Shakira's choreographer Hi Hat has confirmed that J Lo will be on this track. If it's true, this could become a Beautiful Liar type hit... getting hype because of the two names attached to it. I still don't really believe it.

^The whole film is basically a comedy. I thought it was more extreme in terms of violence and gore than the other Screams. There was never any intestines on display in 1-3 as far as I can remember.

I enjoyed this. It was ridiculously self aware but it still worked in that respect. The only part I didn't think worked was the fact that the characters keep referencing the killings as a "reboot" and a "remake" but really, Scream 4 isn't either: It's just another sequel that's almost a reboot. One of the problems with the torture-porn genre that the girls listed at the start was the lack of character development, but that was the main problem here. They tried to get in all the new reboot cast but keep in all the originals when there wasn't enough time for all of them.

Love this. I kinda wish that Pon De Floor was used a bit more cleverly but it's still ace. I love it when Bey goes hard.

Video teaser: http://www.beyonceonline.com/us/brevolutionteaser Beyoncé on a horse = uber excitement.

Jesus - Monday's episode was amazing. The penny can radio advert absolutely killed me. Can't wait for tonight's episode.

10. Did It Again Score: 7.931 igcsNG4aruA Oh man...I absolutely adore this song. It makes me so sad that this flopped. I love how it's melancholic yet uptempo at the same time. Pharrell's production is amazing and the video is brilliant: I can't fault this song at all, except for the fact it should've been released about 2 months before it was.

11. The One Score: 7.227 sV2E55C_R3g A nice Laundry Service ballad, but it just doesn't have that same charm as Underneath Your Clothes, even with the classic Shakira line "to buy more thongs / and write more happy songs."

I was a big Nerina fan after Fires came out...went trekking all the way to St Ives to see her...and then after The Graduate, I kind of lost my faith. I found it really disappointing, even though I was already a fan of ...Bitch, Everything's Illuminated and Real Late Starter. I listened to Put Your hands Up and 30 seconds in I was thinking "I'm just not into this, please just write another Idaho / Sophia" and then by the last chorus I was thinking "wow, I need to listen to this again." Faith restored...for now.

I like it, mainly because there will finally be something to dance to in the clubs that has got a decent beat. RedOne has killed interesting beats. I would prefer it to just be Pon De Floor though.

There's a rumour that there is going to be a version released featuring Jennifer Lopez...that would be interesting... http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2009/gallery/011809_jlo_400X400.jpg

That image is ridiculous (but I like it).

And a remix: tVsO0trUj3Q

She should be filming the video in the next few days according to the director. It's being directed by Juame (Loca, SES, Don't Bother) so don't expect anything amazing or that will make an appearance on UK TV.

I think Dreams For Plans would've been my ballad choice - it did pretty well on iTunes when HDL was released as well, think it almost went top 100 on the main chart.

I know it's killing me - two new episodes next week though!!

12. Illegal Score: 6.75 2_K8Zns3s9A A disappointing and badly timed follow up to Hips Don't Lie which was also given some horrible radio edit. Other than HDL, there's not much on OF2 that screams "SINGLE" but I can't help thinking anything else would've been better than this. Animal City was considered and tested for radio but somehow this won over.

13. Gypsy Score: 6.409 _3-GiVIE8gc Another song that I find quite enjoyable until you start to unravel the songwriting credits and see that it's an old Amanda Ghost demo, making the choice of it as a single seem pretty suspect and also frustrating when there is some brilliant songs on She Wolf which have been pretty much ignored.

OK, here are the results of the rate. I'm not going to post facts...just my personal opinions on each track. 14 Give It Up To Me Score: 4.159 mo7o_v87Umo Probably one of the most despised Shakira songs in general so it's no surprised it's placed last. Personally, I quite enjoy this song, but what makes it grate on me is that you can literally hear the label forcing Shakira to delay the release of She Wolf in America and tack on this lame attempt at being "urban" when they should've been rush releasing Men In This Town instead.

It's funny because on some American music boards, the majority think Right There should be the first single but on here we're calling it filler. I think this song is a poor man's Te Amo or What's My Name and Nicole's faux Caribbean accent isn't very endearing. However, I did find myself singing this the other for no apparent reason...
