It was in the middle of a crowd of more than 20 000 people who Shakira opened the first show of the Pop Music Festival, on Tuesday in Porto Alegre. Yes, to everyone’s surprise, she walked across the stage singing "Pienso en Ti", surrounded only by a few bodyguards. Of course, after the initial shock, the fans ran to hug and kiss the Latin diva, who was wearing a huge pink dress with hood, but soon changed into black pants and golden top.
* The show lasted nearly two hours and she squandered friendliness, even sang some Metallica, talked a lot in Portuguese and sent the message: "Tonight I am Gaucha." To wrap up in style, for the encore, she rocked everybody’s world with "Waka Waka" and "Hips Don’t Lie."
* Now Shakira is heading to Brasilia, where she performs on Thursday and then she goes to Sao Paulo on Saturday, where she will hold a press conference at the Emiliano hotel, but the singer has sent word that journalists shouldn’t ask about her personal life. She just wants to talk about the shows and the launch of the fragrance S by Shakira. Okay, then!
