Shakira’s Hips are already a sensation. I know there is nothing new about it but when fans prove it again and again that they can’t get over the Hips don’t lie effect then it becomes news to report. It was quoted that “Epic Records held a contest offering fans a chance to help create a video for pop diva Shakira’s yodel-tastic single featuring Wyclef Jean. Label executives’ spent $5,000 to create and promote a quickie clip. But the impact sent shock waves through the music industry. The contest yielded 500 submissions of fans lip-syncing and booty-shaking in extremis that were spliced together by a professional editor to create a single video.” And this apparently easily got the Nielsen BDS most-streaming video of the year. Sure the Hips effect will not fade soon.
