Shakira Gets Underneath Your Clothes With Her Poem To A Horse

byCartman_2k Jan 20, 2003
98 Helpfuls 99 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros talented, some great songs, diverse
Cons she sounds better in Spanish
Recommended it? Yes

Last year we were all introduced to a relatively new blonde pop girl. She was shaking her booty in front of a blue screen, with really lame backgrounds. But the song was great and extremely infectious. Soon everyone was talking about her; that she was the next big thing after Jennifer Lopez, and... Read full review »

Shakira Weighs In On Breasts, Love & Reading Poems To Horses???

Pros Her lyrics, a few amazing songs
Cons Fool, Te Dejo Madrid, She's better in Spanish
Recommended it? Yes

*Warning: heavy lyrics citing ahead – feel free to skip them, but I felt they were necessary in the description of this album.

Before she was known to the whole world as a Pepsi-drinking, ass-shaking, blonde, pop phenomenon: Shakira Mebarak was known by few in the United States... Read full review »

Shakira's Clashing and Gnashing Cross-Over Fusion of Cultures, Sounds, Emotions, and Influences

bymrkstvns Jun 11, 2002

Pros Talented musician who fuses widespread styles and influences
Cons Should stick to doing albums in spanish
Recommended it? Yes

Before I go any further, let me state my bias right up front and for the record. I don't like "cross-over" albums. Never have, never will. I'm a firm believer that every language has its own distinct sound and feel and flavor and that no translation, no matter how good or how polished, will ever be... Read full review »

Latin Alanis? Well, Geez, If You Say So?

Pros voice, uptempo songs, Ojos Asi
Cons a few average ballads
Recommended it? Yes

The only reason I started listening to Shakira was my Ani D fan friend/co-worker who enticed me to dinner one night and basically locked me up in her kitchen and made me listen to Ojos Asi one time. That was enough for me to go and buy Laundry Service that by some luck had six bonus tracks [!!!]... Read full review »

Shakira: Laundry Service: Music to Draw You In

62 Helpfuls 63 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros A pleasure to listen to
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

I had never heard of Shakira before they started playing "Whenever Wherever" on the radio. The first time I heard the song I was intrigued. The second time I was hooked. And after the third time, off I went to www.Amazon.com to buy the CD.

The best word I can use to describe my feelings... Read full review »

Salt my wounds and I'll keep saying "Thank you..."

Pros Fun fun fun. Several instances of outstanding lyrics (see: "Fool")
Cons May wear a little thin after too many listens; some songs feel a little 'eh'
Recommended it? Yes

Aside from the fact that she'll probably always be at the top of my "People I'd Most Want To Look Like" list, I haven't given much thought to Shakira over the past couple of years. And, if you want to know the truth, I'm currently feeling pretty crummy about it. Yes -- I, too, was once completely... Read full review »

Pros wonderful music with meaningful lyrics!
Cons nothing!
Recommended it? Yes

My husband really treated me this past Christmas with so many wonderful gifts! It was so special! One of the gifts he gave me was a CD by an artist called Shakira. It was her first English album. I was already a fan of her Spanish language music, so I knew I wanted to get her English album! So, he... Read full review »

Breasts, Hip Shaking, and Horses: Shakira's English Debut!

bypt-paratroopa Mar 3, 2003
37 Helpfuls 38 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Most of it; Shakira's unique voice and lyrics, some unique songs.
Cons Not every song's a standout, I can't understand her Spanish songs.
Recommended it? Yes

Yes, I know - Shakira doesn't seem much like the type of chick I'd be into. After all, some people call her the Latin equal of Ms. Britney Spears and she does have quite a hip shake in her arsenal of sex appeal. But, I dunno, there's definitely something sexy (and I'm gay, so that's saying... Read full review »

drop a load in Shakira

Pros a solid album blending elements of rock, dance, and pop, with a very Latin influence
Cons it's no ¿Dónde Están los Ladrones?, but, then again, what is?
Recommended it? Yes

2001's Laundry Service was Shakira's English language debut and is the album that catapulted her to monumental success in the United States.  With four Spanish-language albums under her belt, it would have been very easy for Shakira to simply translate a few of those songs into English, but...

I'd Like To Know What Detergent Shakira Uses In Her Laundry

bybroomqueesha Aug 12, 2003
34 Helpfuls 35 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Great ethnic-sounding production and poetic lyrics.
Cons She sings like a goat! And I need to learn Spanish!
Recommended it? Yes

The Main Idea:
After a series of highly successful Latin albums, Shakira released her English-language debut, Laundry Service, in 2001. Laundry Service is a melting pot of rock, pop, Latin, and dance and has a song for everyone. Though I don't personally care for Shakira's voice (she sounds... Read full review »
