Video Premiere: “Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)” by Shakira

They had to pick Shakira to represent Africa? Why? is Africa short of beautiful women with great voices? Lira should have done this and if she doesn’t open the games then this is just an African event by name, at least for us music fans who don’t give two shits about football.

The performance is just awkward and the song is horrid. She should have done “Did It Again” or “Gypsy.” Even “She Wolf” would have been better. This album has some great songs and completely bad ones. Nothing in the middle.

Shakira is already on her second single even if the album’s been pushed back until November 23rd. “She Wolf” is exactly what happens when one has a lot of star power but not a good lead-single. A memorable video and dance, but a tired old disco knock-0ff. This one’s a bit better, but “Gypsy” should have been next in line. Say what you want, but one thing’s for sure – the girl’s flexible.

We managed to catch it the second it came out and here it is. The Shakira single that has gotten so many mixed reviews you have to hear it for yourself. We  like anything disco here at Loft965, so it’s OK with us even if she howls like a wolf. Some say the Spanish version “Loba” is better. But, I’d rather understand what she is saying with the defective voice of hers. Our friends hate it muchly but we couldn’t help but feature it on our next compilation. We hope the album has better tunes. They say it’s “electronic.”
