Shakira Addresses World Cup Role

Posted by Shirley Brady on July 5, 2010 12:30 PM

In an exclusive interview answering YouTube fans' questions, Shakira talks about her song being chosen as the official World Cup song instead of a tune by an African artist.

YouTube also fixed a flaw that let hackers create pop-up messages (including the false report that Canadian singer Justin Bieber had died) on videos to redirect them to adult sites.

Bieber's Twitter and website poll on which country he should tour next was also sabotaged by Web pranksters 4Chan to skew votes to send him to North Korea. Yesterday also saw Wikipedia and iTunes attacked by hackers, who appeared to choose the Fourth of July holiday in the U.S. to wreak havoc online.

Shakira is a really great artist, I saw her performance in the opening World Cup concert and she has appeared on various TV shows here in the UK since then. She seems like a really nice person as well! It is a shame to hear about all the hacking though, had no idea that all of this had gone on.
