Hip-shaking sensation Shakira is giving wannabe singers a shot at stardom — she’s launching a competition for up-and-coming musicians to open her world tour in 2010.

The “Give It Up To Me” singer has invited aspiring performers to apply via her website and called on fans to vote for their favorite acts. The finalists will then be viewed by the star and her team, who will select the best musicians to open different dates on her tour next year.

“The artists will open for Shakira live in big cities and virtually through a video performance in smaller markets. There are a lot of talented artists, and Shakira wants to help them by giving them part of her stage,” Shakira’s digital business partner Sean Wolfington tells The New York Post’s Page Six Column.
