Shakira Presents New T-Shirt Collection Inspired By World Cup Song

Shakira was in Madrid today to present the new Mango solidarity T-Shirt collection inspired by the official World Cup song 'Waka Waka' (which means This Time For Africa).

I wonder if the controversy has died down over Shakira being chosen to sing the World Cup song? Many South Africans were upset that someone who isn't South African was picked for it.

"Yeah, it has to be South African," she said. "I mean, we've got so many talented South African singers who can actually pull it off. And really, I mean, how is Shakira going to sing the African part of it?"

But others insist that it's the "WORLD" Cup and doesn't belong just to South Africa. What do you think?

"I think what's great about the fact that there are a lot of artists, it unites the world. The soccer World Cup is not just about South Africa, it's about South Africa hosting it and bringing the world."

The song is actually a collaboration between Shakira and a South African band called "Freshlyground". They are scheduled to perform it on June 10th.
