There is controversy surronding the official World cup anthem featuring  a collaboration by SHAKIRA and a south african group "Freshly ground".
Most South Africans are unhapy the song is being sang by a Foreigner instead of a local South African artist and are unhappy.

Personally I really think the song was not done justice by Shakira and lost its African soul.

Please compare these two songs and tell me which one actually gives you goose bumps. One is by the Somalian artist K'Naan and the other is the Shakira song
