I've always adored Shakira for the boisterousness and vociferousness that she imports into her music. Be it "Whenever Wherever" or "La Tortura",her music combined with appealing lyrics have always sent a thrill of pleasure and liveliness down my feet and her latest sensational single,"Hips Don't Lie",released from the new album "Oral Fixation Vol.2" and featuring Wyclef Jean is no exception. Shakira lets loose her vibrant music and is so charming in her tone and rhythm. Shakira has really come a long way in becoming a real Latin pop diva and the Colombian singer is surely a big thing in the pop music industry. She looks so killing and sensuous in the video of the song too. "Hips Don't Lie" is another jewel for any pop music lover's treasure closet.

Not the best of Shaki's, but anyway it ROCKS! The lyric is interesting, the rhythm makes people want to dance.
Looking forward to what Shaki will give us in her oncoming concert.

this song is very good but i dont like wycleff in it. i think he spoils the song that shakira is singing!! its lyrics are a bit strange but they dont have to be great lyrics do they ? espiecally when you've got a great voice like shakiras when it doesnt matter wether the songs good or not she just rocks every song she sings !!i love this songs rythym and beat and everythin and thats why i went out and bought it but i can see why other people dont like it !!!

It's such a catchy song, I'm not surprised that someone remade it. Shakira does this cover fairly well, with one of the original singers (Wyclef did this song in a slightly different way with Claudette Ortiz). It's a little faster and just as catchy - a real ear worm. I like her vocals in it; he sounds just the same as the original, but I don't like the change in some of the lyrics.
Overall, it's a good ear worm that doesn't let go easily. You'll be singing and bopping along to it because it's fairly infectious.

To everyone who gave this song a bad review, are you deaf!?! This version is far superior to Claudettes version. not only is it sung better, but the lyrics are better, the production is better, its easier to dance to, and its the bigegst song of the year! this song has made history, and for good reason. One of shakira's many sides, it shows her shaking her hips to an uptempo latin beat, and has caused this song to explode worldwide, becomming the bbiggest worldwide hit of the year.

Better luck next time claudette!

There really hasn't been a whole lot of unique collaborations within the past few years. Nevertheless, there have been some noticible acceptions. That has been the case with Shakira with her universal La Tortura which hit very well last year. This time, her latest hits just as well. Hips Don't Lie with Wyclef Jean from Fugees fame is one of the most well-received collaborations I've heard within the past few years. The song is very delightful to enjoy and very upbeat. I like this song a whole lot because it is fresh and better than what is hot on radio right now. This is a great song, and I hope Shakira continues to make more great duet songs like this soon.

Song: B+

Shakira is awesome !! This song Hips Don't Lie gives everyone the opportunity to move their hips and have fun and feel sexy.

Thank you Shakira !!

What a poor tracklist though I considered it's worth it the pay to get the song on the re-released it's totally shame to see how record companies don't comissionate more remixes or dance tracks to try to save money. Hips Don't Lie should have remixes and I know there's one but here's no one. Dreams For Plans is a nice song but hey... I got the album isn't it?! So why I'd like to get a single like this. Better keep improoving and why didn't they put a live track out of any Shakira's performance or even a remixes of previous hit singles like La Tortura or even from her previous hits on Laundry Service.

This song is not good. Shakira's singing isn't at it's best and Wyclefs rap is so corny. This song is a total rip off of la tortura and I'm mad that it's a remake. The original version is much better.

I try to judge music for its musical qualities, but when I heard the song "Hips Dont Lie" at a party this weekend, I just couldn't ignore the atrocious lyrics.

It's almost entirely Wyclef Jean (or whatever his name is) who ruins Shakira's tune--shooting his mouth off about refugees "running the seas 'cause they own their own boats" and other absurd ideas.

Together, they can't seem to decide whether the song is about sexy body movements or the American government. It's so stupid, it's an embarassment to hear...

As if that wasn't pathetic enough, the abundance of self-referential lines out of these two is just another pronounced example of the overcommericialization of music. The industry wants to sell the product of Shakira, not just her music, so her name is repeated over and over in the song, like some crass hip-hop performance.
