Today's Pick

Shakira certainly knows how to draw in viewers, and she has done it again with her giddy, rapid-fire Latin pop song "Rabiosa." In the song's newly-released video, the "She Wolf" songstress sports a short, dark and sexy brunette French bob wig, as she throws a party, attracts a cute boy and pole dances in some black lingerie. "Rabiosa" (English: "Rabid") is the third single from her third bilingual and seventh studio album, "Sale el Sol." Shakira has created a new merengue-rock hybrid that lays down bare horn riffs over a driving beat in a groove that is irresistible.
The catchy tune has a distinctive Latin flavor that's sprinkled with spices of Dominican merengue music. The fast-paced track features a sizzling horn section and a steady dance beat throughout. Musically, "Rabiosa" is a Merenrap/Dancehall reggae song with Latin and rap influences. It featuring rappers Pitbull's familiar interjections. It's exactly the kind of undeniably sexy song you'd expect from a Shakira/Pitbull collaboration, a smart and seductive dance mix that won't let your hips sit still. Pitbull's raspy raps mesh well with Shakira's sultry moans and invitations to "come get a little closer."
The 34-year-old Colombian tour hottie restyled herself as a voluptuous brunette and is cutting loose for the Jaume de Laiguana-directed video, which was shot in late April in Barcelona, Spain. It was described as having a "partying atmosphere" by those who took part in the shootings. The video starts off with the Colombian songbird entering a sexy dance party at a nightclub. Throughout the vigorous video, the camera leads Shakira through the festivities, as she sports a green mini-dress and short bobbed brown hairdo. The singer engages in a salsa dance with a male party-goer, crowd surfs above the masses, and gets playful in bathtub as she sings the lusty lyrics.
It's not long before we're reintroduced to blonde Shakira shaking her famous hips around a pole in black lingerie, continuing the fantasies that she started in her "She Wolf" video. Shakira has made possibly her raciest music video yet, stripping down to a teeny weeny black bikini and showing off her pole dancing skills. Only Shakira can transform a pole dance from trashy to awe-inspiring, as she moves her body in ways that most people can only dream of. She finishes big with a sideways split as the video fades out. As always, the Latin songstress brings the heat both musically and visually on this meringue-inspired track.
