Everytime You Go and Your Biggest Mistake are practically the same song to me. This Love is the obvious next single...if she gets another.

Wanted Hungover. This is too much like her other singles.

Really glad she's doing a full UK tour. Manchester was way overdue. I guess I'll be seeing her there. I saw her in London and it was pretty good, but I also went to see her in Barcelona right at the start of the tour and she was absolutely amazing, but probably because she's more at home performing her Spanish songs, although even in the UK, the setlist was Spanish weighted. The difference was that she swapped Antologia for Illegal which IMO is criminal. I think this tour is going to be way better than the last. Her performances at the recent festivals have been amazing and as long as she does a lot of new material (MEN IN THIS TOWN), she can't go wrong. I can't wait to see She Wolf live, the performance at Glasto and the World Cup were perfect.

This is amazing: I3y2Zbs_WXc&

The Writer is a good single. This Love is the most obvious single, but it's too similar to G&H and Starry Eyed.

It really is. Think I might wait for an HQ of the album. I'm surprised this hasn't leaked fully yet, TBH.

#38 in the Official Top 40. The video starts getting played next week so hopefully it stays top 40.

Tell Me Why sounds like the highlight.

Not sure if it'll be repeated. It's probably on catch up if you have Virgin. Shakira's performing Waka Waka again at the closing ceremony so hopefully she'll get some more exposure.

I love this song so much it's really unhealthy. And I love the mess of a video. I always thought Kesha was a dick and just mildly enjoyed her songs but now I think she's a genius of the LMAO world.

The official vid: pRpeEdMmmQ0 The WC performance: QFto9CnFi6o This needs to get played in the UK. It's a really great song.

My only problem with the video is that it's boring. I think it's quite poorly edited and it just knocks all the pace and excitement out of the song. The best bits of the song are the drops before the chorus when the beat kicks in but the video completely destroys those moments. Like in Telephone when the chorus kicks in and it cuts to Gaga and Beyonce in their Americana gear, it's the perfect visual drop to the audio drop. That's the problem with Alejandro. It's like all the effort went into the IMAGE and ART and being CONTROVERSIAL (even though it's really not) and they forgot that this was a music video representing a song.

I think it will get promoted, especially as the performance will be shown on BBC2 this Thursday. The video is released this week sometime so hopefully it'll make a big impact. The video is out there, it's not great, lots of stock footage from previous world cups. The dancing is cool though. All the vids on youtube are out of synch with the music and pretty lame quality. I'll post it as soon as a decent version is available.

It's 92 on UK iTunes. It just goes to show, this is what people want from Shakira. I mean, it's already out performed Gypsy and it has zero airplay and zero promotion.

Same. There's nothing wrong with the cartoon stuff. At least it doesn't represent the best bit of the song with a still drawing (like Ke$ha).

I quite like Snoop Dogg on this track...he adds to the loveable trashiness of the song.

Totally agree with Numb for a winter release. It's the highlight of this year for me.

No, the chart is shocking at the moment. I don't think the top 10 has ever been so bad.

Best choice. Thanks god they didn't go with Shampain.

This got played on Radio 1. Hopefully it is playlisted tomorrow.

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/

It's amazing. Julia Davis is an absolute genius. Did anyone catch her pilot with Jessica Hynes? It was very dark but very funny. Apparently the BBC won't be picking it up for a series though because they don't want to p*** off any conservatives.

Wow, the iTunes top 10 is unimaginably $h!t at the moment.
