Shakira

HAS REPLACED GLORIA E. AS MY FAVORITE FEMALE LATIN VOCALIST / SONGWRITER

she is great at what she does even though i am not too much into her songs

Super Hot. Super annoying voice.

Love her!!!

She has brilliant vocals, and is a brilliant singer!

I like Shakira, I do. She has the hips that can shake the world and girl also knows how to work it effortlessly. She is also very spicy looking and has a few of good tunes. There's only one problem - her voice, it has some sort of vibe to it that is so irritating.

Every now and then a song comes along that irritates the feck out of me so much that it turns me into a deranged loon. Hips Dont Lie is one such song. The tuneless horrible vocal, the 'Shakira, Shakira' bit, the trumpet, the inane lyric of "I never really knew that she could dance like this,She makes a man want to speak Spanish Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa" Total cr@p. Hence the 1 star.

She dont have a big butt, but shes a cutie pie, but i'm not feeling her music. Her voice bothers me, but at least she's cute. Thats all ya need sometimes to make it.

her booty is a work of art!!!

I enjoy keeping up on Shakira- I tried to watch her live performance from Live Earth- but honestly people she is one of the worst singers and I love making fun of her.  I can sound just like her- especially in Don't Bother.  She has a ridiculous voice-- often sounding like a strangled goat.  She makes a lot of different noises while singing- but none of them are pleasant to my ear.  Even "No" gets on my nerves after a while.  She sang better in her early years before she started doing that awful Alanis knock-off warble.  Really to me her music and dancing are a joke-I hope she continues with her humanitarian work- if she was not so addicted to fame maybe she could help the children full time!

That's one sexy woman!!

great singer and dancer......................

Never listen to her music, but she IS hot

Latin, ha, whatever, she's Syrian/Lebanese, whatever, just like Salma Hayek. Nevermind, they never cease to use their supposed heritage as their trump card. I think Shakira has no talent whatsoever, which unfortunately, seems to be a trend in the music business.

I feel that Shakira is getting worse everytime she comes out with a new album! At first I did like her a lot when she sang in spanish, because her lyrics of her songs were beautiful. Come on everyone knows for a fact that she is not a singer, she sounds like she is making halloween sounds for a hunted house. When she first started in spanish she didn't dance or move at all, but know she is getting to that line where someone needs to tell her to calm down because is not even dancing. She is sharing her intimate moves and crazy ideas that she beliefs in from her far away heritage. I'm Colombian and is a shame that guys are only interesting in her butt and horny moves. I honestly don't know why she's being consider one of the new latin talents out there, WRONG!!!

I like Shakira no matter what she does....English, Spanish.....blonde, brunette. She entertains me and that is all that matters.

I kinda liked her better when had dark hair and sang in Spanish. Granted her voice was never really my cup of tea because at times it reminded me of somebody gurgling or a baby goat. There were times when she got it right and sang beautiful pieces. But now that she's a blonde, she's totally gone downhill. Her voice in English even harder to listen to than in Spanish. She looks like a frizzy poodle now that she's a blonde. Shakira looks like she raided the Goodwill and found old (not vintage) stuff from the 70's. I can understand that she doesn't want to be glam and respect that, but she looks very corriente. Her belly dancing is awful. Her contortions look painful. My mom says she looks like a snake about to give birth. Maybe she's molting, he, he. Perhaps it is part of her eccentricities as an 'artist'. For Americans who aren't use to Middle Eastern and Hispanic culture, they think she is it because they don't know any better. Her lack of mastery in the English language i... Read more

I like Shakira, she is definitely an entertainer, very outgoing personality, she's really not afraid to be herself. I don't think she can sing but she can really shake her booty,lol, the girl can get down. Like I said she can perform but she is not a singer. She is pretty, though. Oh Shakira, ya gotta love her.

A singer who can't carry a tune. Feel bad for her because people won't tell her she stinks. She's like an ethnic version of Brittney Spears. This is an example how looks complicate entertainment.

I love Shakira. I've been a fan since 1998 when she was just doing Spanish material and I have to say that she does so much better in Spanish.

I used to hate her voice but after hearing one of her Spanish albums I LOVE her!!!!!!!!! Her songs are simply amazing and none of them sound the same. GO SHAKIRA!

She actually is NOT a one -hit wonder. She has been around for many years in the Latin Market. As a singer myself I can say I think she does have talent..You may not like her particular style but her vocals are unique and unusual. So many of these singers sound exactly the same..she does not . I also like the fact she actually writes her own music and can be a somewhat humorous and creative in her lyrics..

My god...if you have seen the ugly untalented bellydancers in NY you would think Shakira is a God!!!!

Had to rate her a 1 because there isn't a zero! :0 Shakira = one hit wonder? ok maybe 2...........where is she now?

She can dance. I'll give her that. But if she is so proud of her hispanic and arabic heritage, Then why does she don belly shirts and dye her hair blonde? Sounds a tad hypocritical to me. This all being said, I don't find her attractive or interesting really. She sounds like she's constipated in "Underneath Your Clothes".

one of the best Latin singers ever! I like that song where she belly dances!

Shakira sux like a lemon!God she's so awful I can't even describe it.Loser.Belly dance?So what?So do I!

What's with all the porn-queen wannabes in music these days? Somebody tell her to shut up and give her a ticket to the VCA studios in California.

Shakira is a child prodegy and many asshole Americans don't know it.Since there always worried about fashion sex drugs and war. Some of you need to grow up because no matter how much you protest she'll still be making more money than all of you. Because if she flops in America her Latin fans will still except her. I think she has a great voice it's very recodnisable. But if you rejects would listen to her lyrics in spanish and english you'll see she's very talented. VIVO latin music. Owe you guys have to listen to Antolgia from the album pies descalzos(barefoot feet).

Suckira. Absolutely the worst. Even her butt isn't worth a 2nd look

Allright people. I myself am a Lebanese/Latin woman, and I do not find in any interest in Shakira. She is a disgrace to the lebanese and spanish community. Before she did the cross over she was COMPLETLY DIFFERENT, she was so innocent purse and her voice was lovely. Now that she did a cross over she cannot sing in english and be honet you guys know when u hear her live that her accent is too heavy. For example on her video objection tango they actually have to use subtitles for you to understand her. I have nothing against her it's just that she's not the same respectable girl that I used to listen too. Now it's all about the dollar bill sign for her and how far she has been willing to go for it.

Shimmy me anytime!

saw her perform live Amazing! cant find her cd in my place though guess i will have to look for it online Big ups!

how disappointing that all it took was a bottle of bleach to completely dissolve her talent. shake your ass all you want, but your voice still sounds awful.

"Underneath Your Clothes" is a country/ western song, and it's terrible!

Shakira is terrible! Why?I'll tell you... 1)She is a bad singer,really,and although her voice is "catchy" she still sings horribly.She copies the voice of Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries,and Alanis Morisette.Pretty pathetic cause both Dolores and Alanis are a gazillion times better AND more original than her. 2)She is arrogant,selfish,prompous and lardy.Although she talks about "modesty" in her songs,her life style is a far cry from humbleness! 3)She lip-synchs at her live shows(i.e. playback) even though poor people of Latin America pay half a month's salary to see her and enjoy her awful and unoriginal music.Very disrespectful to the fans. 4)She exploits her Arabic roots and her Lebanese origin to pretend to be a bellydancer.She may be sleazy,she may be a cheap provocateur,but she IS NOT a true bellydancer.Middle-Eastern dance is not the cheap and disgustic a$$ shaking that Shakira does all the time.It is a DIFFICULT style of dance that requires effort,dedication and painful pra...

Shakira, is a great performer. She has been in the music Business for 15-or more years. She is The queen of pop in all of Latin America, Look at the globe, find Latin America, you will see its huge, just like her. It wasn't Ricky Martin that started the cross over craze; it was my BELOVED SELENA, who was tragically MURDERED. I hate the fact that people compare Shakira to Britney, Shakira sings and is not afraid to sing, it might not be your typical singing, but its her that is who she is, she has sang that way since she started out. Britney on the other hand blames the sound person all the time when she cant be heard, or try finding her voice behind all of her back up singers. She sucks plain and simple, I think she might possibly be the next milli vanilli. Any way. You don't have to like Shakira, She is not depending on her American career, its just something she wants to try, and I applaud her for not changing her style and staying true to SHAKIRA. She could of easily sold out and ch... Read more

Wow. I didn't know a girl this pretty could make excellent music too. Love "Objection."

She has an amazing voice and amazing talent. She sure can sing her songs (and they're all her own songs!) with such power and spirit. It's too bad she didn't do her album in english earlier, like the same year as Britney did her debut CD. Then maybe Shakira would have been Queen of Pop instead. I can almost swear that she would've been. She has amazing looks aswell and I, apart from some other raters, think she looks just as good in blonde hair as in red or black. I just love it when artists experiment with their personalities and style. Her CD is really great with simple, yet honest and beautiful lyrics. The future in blonde pop belongs to Shakira.

I think Shakira is awesome! A lot of the other latin pop artists out there don't embrace their roots like she does. Her bellydancing skills are pretty good, and she has a great voice. I think Shakira is NOT considered pop trash like Britney. And by the way, for whoever's reading this, she dyed her hair blonde 2 years before she came to the U.S.!!!

I like Shakira, even though she sounds like Celine Dion. The song Whenever Whereever is really cool and her videos are neat, too.

EVEN THOUGH HER BREASTS R SMALL N HUMBLE, I'M STILL GONNA GIVE HER A 5!

shake it up baby

There is no doubt that Shakira is a very attractive woman and a very good belly dancer, but as far as singing goes I can not say that she is a good singer. It sounds like she is trying to sing with her tounge in her cheek to me. Perhaps I am being to harsh.

shakira can sing..... but now she just seems like a belly dancing britney spears who can't speak english.

she's stupid and her music stinks. I'll bet retard mall kids and idiot cell phone users LOVE her!

just to be released in england. the girls have had their sexy idols now for the boys! this girl oozes sex appeal in the video 'whenever wherever' with its great latin feel.there are too many girl and boy bands turning out middle of the road pop songs here. good luck to shakira.

COME ON!!! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! Shakira has no business even on the list, let alone second to the BEATLES! THE FREAKING BEATLES PEOPLE!

Beautiful voice, beautiful girl....but why did they make her go blonde? They should've let her use her voice to carry her..I don't like this blonde "trend." People who aren't blonde can still be successful...and she looks MUCH better with her natural dark hair.
