COLOMBIAN pop star Shakira - whom this reviewer slammed recently for not being a good role model, thanks to her overtly sexy She Wolf video - proves that she can deliver a restrained and moving performance.
Appearing at George Clooney's Hope For Haiti telethon (screened live last Saturday on the E! Channel, MTV Asia and The Style Network in Singapore),.
She refrained from unleashing her sometimesannoying vibrato, sticking to a straight version of the famous song from The Pretenders. Classic and excellent.
Also Google the Justin Timberlake and American singer-songwriter Matt Morris cover of Hallelujah. It sees Timberlake - who hasn't released a new album since 2007's FutureSex/LoveSounds - on vocals and piano.
