This girl does dances (or rather freakish movements) in this video that I've never seen before.

I can't figure out if I'm supposed to be intrigued, repulsed, freaked out, turned on or what.

If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, look for it.

I just wanna know, what was she thinking?

I think it's her interpretation of belly dancing.
I like bellydancing, but not the way she dances

She's a horrible dancer and an even worse singer.I can't understand why she is so popular.All she does is fling her hair around and shake her hips wildly.

I like her natural voice
but what's up with that singing in that fake frog like voice ?

Dewrede said:

You know, there are frogs all over the world saying "I like her natural voice but what's with that fake human like voice"

if u read her words she is one heck of a writer.

It's fabolous!

It is kinda hot.....

Notice the new album is called "Oral Fixation"?

I guess her booty magic doesn't work on girls.

DavidEye said:

I was saying the same thing.

I just don't get her appeal at all but MTV loves that chick.
So what - if she belly's dances, big fucking deal.

She's the best popstar of today I think.

Talented singer/performer/songwriter.

And she has a great voice so some of you need to stop bitching. she's great live

I agree. She's not my type really, but she is gifted at what she does.

Why is Jennifer Lopez popular? That's why MTV likes her. I don't think it has anything to do with the belly-dancing.

not to mention she's a fair drummer and guitarist

sextonseven said:

Honestly, Shakira is so much more gifted than JLo, and takes pride in her craft, instead of pride in celebrity power

jayaredee said:

Yeah, that was kind of the point I was making. MTV has elevated less talented artists to superstar status so why does Shakira's popularity confound people?

That video is fantastic!

How can anyone take that seriously? It's all so tongue in cheek. From the exaggerated hip shaking and the titty bouncing to her oiled up body and every single deliriously oversexed action, it just seems like a send-up of her own image. I like her as an artist, so maybe I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt, but I don't think so. The albums she released before Laundry Service - Pies Descalzos and Dónde Están los Ladrones - are much more compelling than this, but I still think she's definitely one of the more talented pop/rock artists out there today.
