Watch out Akon, K'naan is taking the torch.

But I did kinda liked the chorus in Akon's song, the "oh Africa" part. Apart from that, the song sucks.

Shakira's waka waka is wack jare. Akon's Oh Africa is okay but K'naan's Waving flag is SMASHING and clearly the best.
Re: K'naan's 'wave Your Flag' Vs Akon's 'oh Africa' by Mustay(m): 5:38am On Jun 11, 2010
Waka waka beats them all jo!


The use of a foreign language added more flava - and to think that Akon would have done something spectacular sef angry angry. waving flag could bore u.

so what? if 'wave your flag' is better than 'oh africa'?
so k'naan is now better than akon.

that's naija's problem. before we crawl we want to run. we want to rise by bringing down the big boys in anything we are doing. well guess what, akon has other songs. way many that hit the top chart world wide. how many does the k'naan have.

please go and take your medicine. silly.

yes call me bad belle.

somehow you are right!

akon and knaan are not mates at all, akon is a multi millionaire with smash hits in the us and world around, knaan is a one hit wonder and the song would be dead after the world cup, i like it though and i am not really a fan of akon but that is the truth.

waka waka was a classic too,skakira killed it. but waving flag suits the world cup best and it's like a victory song.

oh africa was a little boring but the video was nice.

will i am would never steal k'naan shine, he made a remix and k'naan decided to sing the original version, which is totally uncalled for as the original version does not even go with the world cup theme. it is about suffering and war. dump k'naan.

i am happy for k'naan though, he looks like an hausa guy.

Excuse me, K'naan has other songs too, which I think are wayyy better than Akon's "Smack That" sequel songs.

K'naan songs have meaning. . . . not like the garbage Akon has been spilling. So therefore, K'naan is wayyyyy better than that nasal Akon.

no one is saying that k'naan is better than akon, just that his world cup song is far better than akons

withour a shadow of a doubt, konan song nicks it!!! the song is classy, puts that spark in your eyes,

i love that freshlygound S.A babe(mehn she absolutely killed her part in waka waka)
Re: K'naan's 'wave Your Flag' Vs Akon's 'oh Africa' by mamagee3(f): 10:59pm On Jun 12, 2010
I personally don't see anything wonderful about the song but it's just okay.

I prefer Shakira's Waka Waka though.
Re: K'naan's 'wave Your Flag' Vs Akon's 'oh Africa' by davidif: 1:30am On Jun 13, 2010

1. Waka Waka

2. Waving Flag

3. Oh Africa


Waka Waka is simple, pure, spiritual and captures the mood exacta!

~Love K'naan's "Wave Your Flag" it's synonymous w/ the spirit of football & how the fans wave their flag to support their teams! I saw him perform at the concert & it was uplifing seeing how the flags were waving at the performance! I'm not keen on football but i shared a moment w/ all the anticipated football fans around the world!!


~I like the chorus to Akon's song. . . .

~Muki are you too young to remember the original "Zangalewa" been popular in Sa.Lone? I was pleasantly surprised when i heard the chorus to Shakira's "Waka Waka"!
