Live performances

I don't really understand the purpose of this section... Are the live performances particularly notable? Is it just mentioned because he sung it with people other than Furtado? Section cut and pasted below. I'm sure he will perform this song live many times over, I don't see the need to list them. –xeno ^talk 18:29, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
