I'll say it again: Shakira's first album came out on the Sony label when she was 13 and she's been on one of their imprints ever since.



Sony was not about to let her sign to a different label in the states for her first English album when her last few Spanish language albums were so successful worldwide.

Now if you want to say someone else got on their knees to get her signed back then, well, that's a different story. razz

the misogyny on this thread is kinda sicking.


But nothing new on this site.

Shakira also adds an Middle Eastern flavor to her Latin style as well.

She Wolf/Lobo is a fuckin' choon with the greatest music video in history.

She's gorgeous.

Her voice and dancing are a nice spin on the usual ol' diva shit and the Donde estan los Ladrones album from the late 90's is top by any standards.

No Julieta Venegas, but.....better than Mariah.

I think Shakira is the most exciting female in pop since Madonna and Cyndi came out.

Shakira should only do songs in Spanish.
Her English lyrics sound translated from Spanish, and probably are.
In Spanish her lyrics make more sense.
And her voice sounds less "forced" in Spanish.
She became popular when Spanish singers were crossing over to the English audience.
Enrique Iglesias, Ricky Martin etc etc.
I think her best material is in Spanish. Her stuff in English I think is awful.

How do 95% of the people in music today get a record deal?

I think she said even her friends told her she sounded like a goat, and that she doesn't sing with the usual female voice.

I just got her new album and at first listen wasn't too sure how I felt about it,
but after listening to the songs again I really like them and didn't feel like listening to it again.
Guess I was expecting another "Laundry Service" album and wasn't listening to the songs really.
But after listening to it again I've been playing it over again and the songs are quite good.
(Never really cared that she sounded like a little goat, just loved her 'overall'. shrug)
