everyone I know that has Shakira albums since "Pies Delcazos" have said that the album is her worst one.


And so they are not buying it

That could be a good reason

I cannot tell you myself because I stopped caring about her music about two albums ago
 
She's sold her soul to become a major pop star in the US. Too bad I used to think she was great years ago.
 
Shakira sounds like a dying frog when she sings. That's probably why her album sales have been abysmal.

Did any of you see Taylor Swift's impersonation of her on SNL a few weeks ago? It was LoL-worthy.
 
I love shakira, but sadly I did not buy her new album.

It's catchy, but after one listen through, i realized i'd probably never listen to it again.

the beats are awesome, i'll give her that...but the lyrics are severely lacking...they are shallow, without any shred of true emotion...

Taylor can be hit by a semi for all I care. But her impersonation of Shakira was LoL-worthy.
 
It's just too different from her old stuff I guess.

Isn't Lil' Wayne featured on one her songs? That's a recipe for disaster. She needs to stick to her roots.
 
I think she failed because she's losing herself to the industry. She's less and less the Shakira from the Unplugged days where she used to really be a standout performer. She's seems like she's trying to hard now.
 
Coming from a "U.S." fan who never knew of her until her mud crawling and skimpy outfits with catchy lyrics song "Whenever, Wherever"... and then loved her again from "Underneath Your Clothes" and her other tango-esque songs, this album was major SHIT... at least here in the U.S. She did not live up to the way we she debuted.

That She Wolf song was so tacky but I better stop here.
 
Okay really guys theres no need to be assholes. If you dont like her just say that. Stop being snippy picky queens & be honest.
Personally? I dont like a lot of the songs on there. Its one of those "Singles" albums that has 5 songs that are good. Her early stuff was generally better but I still went out & bought it to support the artist that I like.
Next time Ill listen to it before buying another CD.

As far as talent. Do not tell me that when shes performing live that shes horrible. I think shes very entertaining... On SNL she even bent all the way back without missing a tune & NO she wasnt lipsynching(I had to go back and double check).

One thing I would like is if she starts pronouncing things better bc Im having a hard time listening to what the songs are about. Come on Shakira fans, even YOU have to agree w me

WOW see at least he controlled himself
 
... As far as Taylor swift. I dont like that shes getting all these pity votes and taking over POP titles in awards. I didnt even listen to her music until....... Since then Shes getting a lil too overplayed. I had to delete her from my ipod since I only had that one song I liked
 
Is it really doing that badly? I've been seeing commercials advertising her record over and over. I would think the record company would cut their losses if they had a flop on their hands.
 
In the UK 'She Wolf' was seen as more funny than sexy, it was only the video that gained it popularity.
 
People are buying singles instead of whole albums due to the whole 'Itunes' digital downloadable format.

Wow! Was that supposed to be funny?

I think this album isn't radio friendly just like Oral Fixation 2. I like this one better though
 
her last album sucks hardcore... maybe thats why
 
I didn't like any of the songs she released from this album. It's a shame since I loved her first english album.
