People should request it at Radio 1. Just send them a text. Even if they don't play it, it lets them know the demand is there and they might playlist it.

It's really not. It would've been better sung by some with less vocal talent than Leona, like Katy Perry. Leona's histrionics just turn it into a dribbling wailing mess.

Space in the Woods sounds terrible from the preview. I was going to buy this but I don't think I will anymore, I'll just wait for the album. I never really liked Mowgli's Road anyway. Talking about the album, my favourite song so far is Numb. I really hope it makes the final cut.

Did it Again needs to be a hit! It's just such a good song...yeah, I'm biased...but it's definately my fave off She Wolf.

HQ video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2ktaFohbKQ W2ktaFohbKQ I actually love it. The dancing is just off the chart. Yeah, it looks kinda 90s at times...but that just endears me to it more. In the interview before the video premiered she almost said, but just fell short, that Men In This Town is her favourite song on the album. SINGLE PLEASE.

Live video premiere here: http://www.ustream.tv/Shakira Starts in 10 mins!!!

Well I think the performance was recorded a while ago, hence the not twisted hair. She only really dances on the "eh eh" bits and they kept zooming out at those bits which was really annoying. I thought she might have done the EMA version with more dancers...that would've been more appropriate.

Yeah, she was pretty good on X Factor. I think that little compilation they showed before she performed was the best promo she could've had, WW and UYC are all back in the iTunes top 200. Hopefully she'll start getting decent video play now and the song will sneak into the top 10 on iTunes. I think this will really help the album as well, it's already climbing quickly on iTunes.

Video preview: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20319928,00.html I'm liking what I see so far. Hopefully there will be more scenes.

I think this performance changed my opinion of the song. Before, it never felt like a Shakira song but after that performance, she completely owned it and made it hers. I think the video is going to do that even more. The HDL video had the same effect on me.

WHY??? I keep reading this but I just don't understand why? Is it cuz she got punched and people think a #1 will make her feel better? For me, logic says the Peas deserve it much more. If the Peas get to #1 it feels like a massive victory. I have become so disheartened with the charts because it seems like these acts like Leona can just release any old crap (like Happy) and it gets to #1. This is the big one though, because Leona, everyone's golden girl, is going to lose out to a better track, which is how it should be.

Well I know, but at least it's not another X Factor act. It's sort of the best you can hope for these days.

This is so exciting! I really hope BEPs make it to #1. Meet Me Halfway is just infinitely better than Happy but people just lap up anything that Leona releases. Even though a #2 is very repectable, it would still feel like a slight victory for music and against the X factor monopoly. The charts haven't been this exciting since Ain't No Other Man and Hips Don't Lie battled it out.

Great performance on Letterman: mo7o_v87Umo

2006: Maneater Hips Don't Lie Deja Vu SexyBack Going clubbing in 2006 was epic. These songs just made it such great fun because everyone was so into them (maybe not Deja Vu so much). I don't think there's been a set of songs which have been so universally popular when you go out. Or maybe it was just because it was my last year of college/start of uni. Probably more likely the latter.

Anybody heard the B-side, Space and the Woods? Sounds interesting. Released to iTunes Nov 15th.

Hopefully after this week's controversy, the ratings will be huge...I just hope people don't boycott the show! What's the theme for next week?

Everyone should watch next week though cuz Shakira's on...start the boycott after that.

I think Lloyd was the biggest travesty. He never should've made it past boot camp.

The thing is, ever since Oops I Did It Again, the main reason people are tuning in is because of John and Edward. Why do you think they're always on in the last part of the show? Lucy probably wouldn't have won the show, and J&E probably won't, so which loser would you rather keep on? The ratings winner or the welsh girl? Also, this'll probably get the same "Laura White" reaction from the media so even more free advertising.

Ratings. That's all it's about.

Lloyd...I can't believe he got through even though they kept playing that bum note over and over again on his recap clip.

Why is it only her left arm that performs? I think Fergie was so much more impressive than Leona.

cABtZ0QYbBY EMA performance. Nice...ish.

Where was Did It Again tonight? Really wanted to see it on telly.
