By Fri Aug 7, 2009 1:02pm PDT Before Beyonce was Beyonce, Shakira was Beyonce. Not that B isn't an original in many ways, in her own right. But Shakira fans have surely had a feeling of déjà vu as they've watched Beyonce's solo career proceed apace: The incongruous blonde hair; the curvy athleticism; the smart, entrepreneurial, independent-woman vibe; the strangely wholesome eroticism that seems to constantly skirt either a G or R rating... these things all seem a little bit familiar. When Shakira and Beyonce actually hooked up for a duet a few years ago, on "Beautiful Liar," it didn't quite work, because it was almost like seeing Shakira interact with a mirror instead of a complementary performer. Now Shakira has a new video, "She Wolf," that is so compulsively watchable, it's no wonder the clip is the No. 1 seller on iTunes right now. The ostensible theme of her hit single is the need to unleash feminine sexuality, as expressed in werewolf imagery (more so in the lyrics than the visuals). "A domesticated girl, that's all you ask of me/Darling it is no joke, this is lycanthropy," Shakira sings, promising her partner that if she can't get what she needs at home, she'll have to go out on the prowl. But here, in a nutshell, is the real theme of the video: - I am going to make Beyonce look like a stiff, arthritic old lady. Neither Cirque du Soleil's best contortionists nor the most buff porn stars in the business have anything on Shakira's shocking limberness. We see incredibly well-toned thighs go places thighs were not meant to go... so, you know, compliments to the chef, the choreographer, and most of all, the hip-adduction equipment. Shakira makes her body seem almost like a digitalized special effect, most of all when she's wearing a bizarrely cut black-and-white bodysuit that looks a little bit like a yin-yang symbol come to sensual life. There is also a more flesh-colored bodysuit, but just when you're getting the nervous feeling that this video may be bordering on NSFW, she wraps things up in a more demure black dress, flashing a sweet smile, suddenly looking nearly innocent. The werewolf theme is appropriate for Shakira, because she is a shape-shifter, as an artist. You need to have seen her in concert to get an idea of the full scope of her talent and range, which can be a little slippery to get a grasp on. On the concert stage, one minute she's belly dancing like nobody's business, and the next she's stopped gyrating and picked up a guitar to do a very capable approximation of Sheryl Crow-style singer/songwriter rock, in español or inglês. In other words, she's about more than sheer physicality—but doesn't seem to mind if anyone gets the mistaken impression that's all she's about, either. And surely there will be a lot of men, and maybe more than a few women, who will watch this auteur express herself to the thin tune of "She Wolf" and think that a brain is just gravy anyway. David Bowie's theme song for the most famous movie about female sexuality-as-lycanthropy, the Cat People remake, talked about "putting out the fire with gasoline." In "She Wolf," Shakira is putting out the fire with a nuclear bomb.

Or, as Beyonce recently sang (or perhaps should have): If you liked it then you should've put a collar on it...

Então, existe um portal no Yahoo! cujo objetivo é informar ouvintes/telespectadores, criticar músicos, analisar trabalhos e tendências, construir argumentos e, lógico, disponibilizar músicas aos internautas!
Já venho usando o Portal desde 2001.
O Yahoo Music! fornece vídeos que são patrocinados pelas próprias gravadoras, por produtos anunciados entre comerciais de 10segs entre os clipes [a maioria são bem engraçados!], como, um dos principais entre eles: Pespi; e tbm, até pelo próprio Yahoo!
Exemplo: Jennifer Hudson - Spotlight
DÊ UMA CLICADINHA NESTA BOTÃOZÃO DO PLAY

Para usar o site basta LER! E entender o design fácil e visualmente bem estruturado do site.
[Desculpe-me se soei como se eu estivesse chamando a atenção, é q tem gente burra que olha pra tela mais não sabe o q fazer!]
O interessante do site é que nele vc pode assistir um número X de clipes sem fazer o LOGIN no site do Yahoo!/Yahoo! Music.
Se o site pedir para vc fazer o LOGIN, vc deve ter ao menos um email ou conta no Yahoo!

- Dar nota aos clipes[para sua estação entender qual tipo de música vc gosta. Qto mais notas vc dá, mais esperto o Player fica e mais músicas de acordo com o seu gosto favorito serão tocadas!!]
Veja, a seguir, alguns Features da tela do Main Player:

You're just too good to be true Pardon the way that I stare, I love you baby and if it's quite all right, You're just too good to be true I love you baby and if it's quite all right,Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You
Frank Valli
can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
and I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes off of you
there's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
there are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel,
please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true,
can't take my eyes off of you
I need you baby to warm the lonely nights
I love you baby trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby now that I found you, stay
And let me love you baby, let me love you
can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
and I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes off of you
I need you baby to warm the lonely night
I love you baby trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby now that I found you, stay
And let me love you baby, let me love youELE CANTA: "CAN'T TAKE MY EYES O.F.F *OF* Y_O_U"
E ESTE DAQUI CANTA: "CAN'T TAKE MY EYES *O°F°F Y°O°U*"

SOMETIMES, YOU DON'T HAVE TO HATE SOMEONE FOR HURTING YOU.
ÀS VEZES, VC NÃO TEM QUE ODIAR ALGUÉM POR MACHUCAR VC.
AND IT'S NOT PROPER TO BE BITTER EITHER.
E TBM NÃO É APROPRIADO SER TÃO GROSSO QTO!
AND THE TRUTH IS, IT'S REALLY A COMMON MISTAKE AMONG US INDIVIDUALS.
E A VERDADE, É QUE NA REALIDADE, É UM ERRO COMUM ENTRE NÓS.
FOR WE LIVE WITH OUR EXPECTATIONS. .
DEVIDO NÓS VIVERMOS EM PROL DE NOSSAS EXPECTATIVAS.
WE OBLIGE OTHERS TO LOVE US BACK.
NÓS OBRIGAMOS OS OUTROS A TBM NÓS AMAREM.
FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE: WE DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT.
MAS EM PRIMEIRÍSSIMO LUGAR: NÃO TEMOS O DIRETO DE.
IT HURTS WHEN IT SOUNDS SO RIGHT.
MACHUCA QDO SOA TÃO VERDADEIRO.
BUT THAT'S LIFE AFTER ALL.
MAS É A VIDA AFINAL!!!
ACCEPTANCE, COMPREHENSION AND MOST OF ALL: RESPECT.
ACEITAÇÃO, COMPREENSÃO E ACIMA DE TUDO: RESPEITO.

Script do filme:
1 I hate the way you talk to me and the way you cut your hair,
2 I hate the way you drive my car,
3 I hate it when you stare,
4 I hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind,
5 I hate you so much it makes me sick, and even makes me rhyme;
6 I hate it.. I hate the way you're always right,
7 I hate it when you lie
8 I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.
9 I hate it when you're not around and the fact you didn't call
10 And mostly I have the way I don't hate you not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

Curioso o jeito como nós brigamos!
Sabe, eu já te disse que eu sou a reação para as suas ações.
Também, já mencionei que vcnão costuma pensar muito antes de agir e se esquece com facilidade das coisas que aconteceram.
Sou temperamental, sou bipolar, sou agressivo...
Mas oq realmente vc vê em mim?
Quais foram as coisas que fizeram vc se apaixonar por mim?
E oq te levou a dizer: "- EU TE AMO!" ???
