I don’t know how I feel about this. I understand where they were trying to go with it but it doesn’t scream “hit” to me.

i HATE it. i wish it was different. i don’t like it at all. it will not be a hit i am 100% sure. I love Shakira but this song is ugly. i prefere 1000000% the song “The border” with Wyclef Jean that was leaked before this song and that is PERFECT and for sure a hit.

Okay, Am i the only one who see’s Ciara- Love Sex Magic theme with the Leotard and the bars. I like Shakira as an artist but she should stay true to herself and not play, follow the leader. Every female artist does not have to wear Leotards. Im sorry but she or the photographer really tried it with this one, this looks like she got it frm Ciara!!!!!!!!!!! next thing you knw she is gonna be in between the bars 4 the video.

Robert, shut up! Just because she’s wearing a leotard and is in a cage with bars…she’s copying Ciara? That was pathetic of you to say.

Let’s be real Ciara is no where to be seen in this picture. Ciara is no leader when it comes to the music and fashion world. Her album is a FLOP and her style is a washed up version of every other female out there. Rock on Shakira for doing something new!

that scene is reminiscent of ciara’s scene in LSM. and shakira’s looks bootleg. ci put the best videos out period. how dare you haters with you nonsense. don’t act like shakira never had an album that didn’t go platnum in a month before so stfu. this is a lame rip off. and if beyonce had done this before then you lames would see the similarities.
yes ciara. ciara is the person who your lame arse is hating on. c*nt

Anyone stop to think that the treatment for the cover of the single might have been planned months before Ciara’s video came out? These two artists are nothing alike and I personally don’t think anyone is copying anyone. Ciara is not the first to wear a leotard, I believe Beyonce’ did it in her Single Ladies video, and I’m sure Madonna did it wayyyyyyyyyy before any of these ladies. It’s a piece of clothing people…..nobody is copying anyone….and you’re all stupid for even suggesting it.

Britney, Madonna and Beyonce all wore leotards before Ciara so i guess Ciara copied all of them? Seriously, who cares.
Shakira looks amazing and i love the song. The sound is crazy!

The pic looks H O T, Hot!! And I totally agree its VERY Ciara-esque & its ok, there both very talented females & my fav artists & who cares if Ci’s CD didn’t sell here in the U.S. People here just don’t appreciate anything & giv up tOO mUCH & it really is displayed because we unknowingly destroy peoples careers because of our inability to see the obvious (in both talent & life) & our excessive need to b*tch & complain. Its true, look @ me(or read my comment, lol) “I hate Beyonce! & wish her career flops cuz she’s a swagger jacker!!” & if ur not as I described you kno what I means!!

I hope that these poor mis-lead minds don’t think that Ciara is really orginal and know that the all these females in the industry right now are biting off the 1980′s. All styles do a full circle and comeback in some form or fashion, most likely because you dim-wits either don’t know where you came from or just want to jock the past. Anyway the pic is just a promo pic and you all are suppose to be commenting on the music and not the pic… but it just goes to show that this generation ain’t the brightest!

You Ciara stans are hilarious. Shakira copied Ciara…? No one copies Ciara, she hasn’t done anything innovative to date besides the tranny look she has on her cd cover. As mentioned, this was done prior to Ciara (Mel B video featuring Missy) so go sit down somewhere and listen to that Disaster Ride of an album that fell of the Top 100 already.

YOU GUYS ARE SO HILARIOUS!!!!ROFLMAO! I can’t believe you are actually comparing Ciara and Shakira, they are soooo different. And I agree with theonlyopinionthatcounts. Nobody is ever that original becoz everything’s been done before so chill with the comparisons. Every idea for a video right now could probably be traced back to other videos that used the same concepts in the past.
