yes but t swift drinks the blood of the gay men she beards for in order to remain perpetually youthful

Someone at Interscope should've bought gaga a bottle. Put it on the tab of her 25mill marketing budget.

The Rihanna parts are great. Shakira is such a horrible singer..

Beautiful Liar is definitely the superior collab song. CRTFY is quite e mess.
 
So far this just sounds like something off of She Wolf...

EDIT: Hmmmm, I'm sort of conflicted. On the one hand, I think the melodies are good and the chorus is catchy on paper. On the other hand I think Shakira's tone can saturate the effectiveness of those melodies because she has such a heavy timbre in her voice. It's easy to distract from the simplicity of the song itself.

Rihanna saves it for sure. If this had more Rih or was just a Rih song in general I probably would enjoy this a lot. It might be a grower though, I'm actually a big fan of Shakira. lol

It's cute, but I wonder if there will even be a superior Spanish version this time since the Barbadian can't speak any other language.

Bonus cackle at Rihanus pulling a gringa on a song that would have benefitted from her island patois. Like, [w h a t]?

Rihanna sounded better on Shakira on this song. Her voice works so well with so many sounds that I'm not even surprised it sounds good there. Homegirl may not have the singing chips of others, but she puts what she has to amazing music, and makes songs she's on sound good.

Agreed, actually.

And @Beysus don't be RUDE. She looks good there! Healthy and happy, just where she needs to be.

Oh.

That Shakira song is basic.

Your Body remains the ultimate single-by-a-female-judge-coming-back-to-The-Voice.

Let's see if Kylie can dethrone it.

CRTFY sounds like a filler track of one of Shakira's albums. I agree about Rihanna being the best thing.

Still, it's cute enough for me to use.

LOL - it's Mimi, sis.

Did you like Rih's part, sis?

Of course, but she's not in enough of the song for it to be good.

Shakira sounds really out-of-place on a song like this, and I don't think Shakira is the type of artist to ever do phoned-in Pop very well. Not that Rihanna is a basic Pop artist, because really she's the queen bee, but Rihanna knows how to make her voice suit the energy of the song - whether it's something a little more fringe, or top 40 fodder.

Shakira isn't as flexible.

Can't Remember To Forget You is alright, though I feel it's gonna get overplayed very soon.

Air Balloon may sound childish but it is surprisingly catchy.
