Shakira Performs 'La La La' at 2014 FIFA World Cup Final: Video

shakira world cup 2014 performance

Shakira is back at the World Cup. After setting the stage ablaze twice at the last World Cup four years ago in South Africa, FIFA bosses have called upon the Colombian superstar to repeat as musical guest at the 2014 Brazil World Cup. Shakira wasn’t scheduled to perform at this World Cup edition at the beginning but after the disaster that was the opening performance of “We Are One (Ole, Ola)" with Pitbull and Jennifer Lopez, the disappointing sales of the song, and the cascade of critics (calling it the worst World Cup song ever), FIFA bosses had no option but to ask Shakira to please return this year and save them from further 'musical' disaster.

What song did she perform?

Shakira performed ‘La La La (Brazil 2014)’ alongside Carlinhos Brown. ‘La La La’ as well as the original version called ‘Dare’ are found on Shakira’s latest self-titled tenth album. The song is produced by Dr. Luke, Cirkut and Billboard.

When and where did this happen?

The Colombian pop star performed ‘La La La (Brazil 2014)’ at the closing ceremony of the 2014 World Cup at Maracana Stadium (78,838 capacity) in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, July 13th, 2014. This closing ceremony preceded the final Germany vs. Argentina match.

Review

So Shakira did good. She sang live over the backing track as it was expected. She looked great in that red dress, and she certainly OWNED the moment. Having said this, the Brazilian organizers are so cheap. The opening ceremony was cheap and I had hopes the closing ceremony would be see improvement but NAH. It was so cheap too! What was their budget? A thousand bucks? The stage was cheap, Carlinhos Brown needed to be GONE after his intro, and DEAD at the clueless back-up dancers dancing to 'La La La'. It was all a bit embarrassing. But Shakira still pulled something decent. She owned that little cheap stage. This was of course better than the Pitbull and J.Lo performance!
