Shakira is Back!


Shakira

Shakira has been a leader in bridging cultures through her music. And today, she makes musical and cultural history with the debut of her new Spanish language album Fijacion Oral vol. 1 that is written and produced primarily by Shakira herself.

Released June 7, Fijacion has racked up sales of more than 157,000 copies in its first week of release, and will enter the Latin Album chart at No. 1. The single, La tortura, a duet with Spanish star Alejandro Sanz, is already topping the Latin airplay charts, and the video broke new ground by becoming the first Spanish language video to be put into regular rotation on MTV and VH-1.

Fijacion Oral vol. 1 is just the beginning. In November, a completely new body of work, an English album entitled Oral Fixation vol. 2 hits stores on November 15, 2005.

    SHakira is amazing!!! She is the best belly dance i have ever seen especially in the arabic mix of whenever wherever you can tell she has some serious moves. I mean she is by far better than Ruby or Haifa or whatever other singer along those lines. She is sexy, beautiful and talented NOT TRASHY like Haifa and Ruby. I wish Shakira lots of luck, her new video is amazing to check it out go to melodyhits.com SHAKIRA IS THE BEST!! even though she thinks of herself more spanish i wish she was more arab....

    Howcome I could be racist? I'm latin too, but I don't like her, because she in a bad singer and even worst songwriter.

    In latin america there's plenty of talented singers, but Shakira is not one of them.

    Her lyrics are stupid, her dancing is hillariuos, and musically she sound terrible, like an can full of rocks. She is a is not making any favor to latinamerican music, she is ruining it.

    If you think Shakira has no talent, you dont know what talent is. And how many self-absorbd pop stars do you see who actually give a damn about people? You obviously don't know the good things she does for others. So what if you don't like her music. That's your opinion, but don't say she has no talent, because that's the biggest piece of bull**** I have ever heard. Just because she doesn't sound or dance like anyone else she sucks? I think not.

    FIRST..the bonehead who said she's pretty and can dance is clueless. She is first and foremost a singer...and she can sing. She REALLY can sing...BUT her video is about WHAT? Yeah, it's sexy but what does this have to do with anything? Shakira is a very talented singer and artist...but she demeans her talent with videos that sell sex. I love sex...but this is the wrong place. No wonder the guy says she is pretty and dance. THATS what happens when the video becomes MORE than the music.

    shakira has the most ugly voice I ever heard, it hurt muy ears, she has no talent at all, simply because her songs are a copy from English pop songs.

    What talent are you talking about have you heard the song 'I'll stand by you' from the Pretenders, it's exactly like the song 'estoy aquí' she copied it, she is terrible singer and worst songwirter.

    The haters are mostly the one's who don't understand spanish and don't have a clue of what Shakira sings about! Her lyrics have really powerful messages unlike Brittney's bull**** music! "hit me baby one more time" is that a joke? what's the poetry behind that??? Give me a break! Shakira can sing, dance, write, and she's a great performer! Plus, to say that she's not talented goes against the rest of the world...Afterall she wouldn've sold millions of copies worldwide if she sucked! Her record sales is bigger than J.Lo, Hillary duff, and Lindsay Lohan COMBINED!
    So, if you personally dislike Shaki that's your opinion but don't say that she's got no talent when the rest of the world says she DOES!

    Shakira is one of the most beautiful and talented musicians of our time. Have you ever listened closely to her lyrics? I respect every person's opinion. However, the next time you are criticizing her, keep in mind that she is a human like you. Also, try to name another female, with as much power as Shakira, that cares for humanity, and actually does something about it. (A good example is her Pies Descalzos charity program)

    I love bellydancing...Shakira has some nice hip isolations that I saw on her videos. I saw a TV commercial for bellydancing DVD's for a famous bellydancer named Soraya, an beautiful Arab girl from the US and I ordered them. I am so into the dance now. I am inspired to learn more about this dance, my culture is Arab.

    Shakira is a bigtime sell out. She does everything I don't like about a singer. First, FAKE - her blonde hair makes me want to puke in disgust. You think we are racist because we don't like her??... then she is even more racist because she thinks that by singing in English and bleaching her hair, she will attract $$$. Well good for her, it DOES attract money, but what about her roots?... NONE!.. she only sells sex with her ridiculous dancing (WAY OVERDONE!). I understand everyword that comes out her mouth in spanish, and I have to admit it's not THAT bad (as of lyrics) but talent-wise (as of singing) I think she lacks the singing curve and fakes her voice with a chillingly resemblanze to another american singer (*don't remember her name). Shakira should Die and her blonde hair should be paraded around the US as a message and a very good example to every Latin American immigrant that is here to NEVER forget who you really are. I'm not racist and if you think I am... then you are just ignorant and can't smell your own coffee made 100% colombian...
