"Writing songs has a therapeutic effect, and it either kills off love or wins the heart of the lover" -Shakira
Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll (born February 2, 1977), known simply as Shakira, is a Colombian singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, record producer, dancer, philanthropist and occasional actress who has been a major figure in the pop music scene of Latin America since the mid-1990s. In 2001, she broke through into the English-speaking world with the release of Laundry Service, which sold over fourteen million copies worldwide. A two-time Grammy Award-winning and seven-time Latin Grammy Award-winning artist, Shakira is the highest-selling Colombian artist of all time, having sold more than 50 million albums worldwide. She is also the only artist from South America to reach the number-one spot on the Billboard Hot 100, the Australian ARIA chart, the United World Chart and the UK Singles Chart. Shakira is also known for having an IQ of 140.
According to the United World Chart, Shakira is as of 2007 the fourth most successful artist so far from the 2000s. She is also the only artist to have two songs in the top ten of the most successful singles since 1999.
Shakira's female rocker style garnered her the World Music Award for Latin Female Artist of the Year, while the phenomenal success of Laundry Service and "Whenever, Wherever" has catapulted her to fame. (read all)

Don't get me wrong
This might sound
To you a bit odd
But you own the place
Where all my thoughts
Go hiding
Right under your clothes
Is where I find them

Fetching RSS feed... please stand byBeyonce's Duet with Shakira
Something to keep the blood flowing this weekend. So Beyonce and Shakira joined forces in this song called "Beautiful Liar". Who would've thought of that? The greatest R&B celebrity Beyonce doing a collaboration with the pop-latin singer Shakira.
Who do you think is the better dancer/singer? Beyonce or Shakira?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byBeyonce
Monica says:
Beyonce is the best. She can dance, sing, and she`s beautiful. She`s queen. Shakira can dance but not like B. It seems to me a lot of women are threatened by B because they talk to much crap about her. I have a nice curvy body like B, and the men love that!
