Skarira en goed zingen? Ze vervormt haar stem nog meer dan Fransje Bauer, ik vind het persoonlijk niet om aan te horen. Net een schaap. En schapen kunnen niet zingen, dat weet iedereen.

Offtopic: Ik kwam er vorige week achter dat Claudia de Breij lesbisch was, toen ik haar hoorde praten over Shakira. Ik hoorde haar gewoon glijden.

Ik vind dat juist die twee origineel en leuk vooral in 'Hey You' met die tropetten en in 'Timor' dat koor + het heeft een goede tekst.

Vind 'Fijacion Oral vol. 1' voor mezelf wel grijsdraai waardig Alleen bij 'Laundry Service' daar loop ik met een enorme bocht omheen.

Het is een lekker ding, welke leuk danst en met regelmaat goede nummers weet neer te zetten. Maar ik vind haar altijd buitengewoon onoprecht overkomen.

Shakira heeft BTW ook opgetreden bij Live At MTVs New Years Eve Party en dat kun je ook hier bekijken.

Let us count the ways...

1. Last night at your exclusive album launch party there were waiters and waitresses in the near-nude, like how you are on the cover of your new album 'Oral Fixation Vol 2'. They had fig leaves and apples and everything! Adam & Eve-tastic!

2. We loved the free drinks, especially the Caipirinhas (mmm, lemony). The mushroom pasta things - also good. Best were the chocolate shoes, although you couldn't eat a whole one. (Well, we couldn't. We just picked at the upper.)

3. We very much loved the poster of you with a bee on your lip that was stuck all over the walls of the very posh looking Porchester Hall. Hope you don't mind that we nicked one.

4. We loved how, after your first song 'Costume', you said thanks to important record label fella Rob Stringer. We thought it was especially lovable that you had a piece of paper taped next to your setlist with the words "Thanks to: Rob Stringer" typed on it!

5. We're still extremely keen on the way you're able to freely isolate and move parts of your body that would normally only be able to respond in such a way after a particularly nasty dislocation, say, after a horse riding accident.

6. It goes without saying that our heart swelled when you sang some of 'Hey You' straight at us then giggled when we got all embarrassed and shy.

7. Most of all we love you because you're a pop genius. And you don't get many of those to the centavos.

So that's seven ways in which we love Shakira. Quite a lot, really.

Shakira shows off body work

By Chris Elwell-Sutton, Evening Standard
18 January 2006

Shakira
Porchester Hall, W2

Bearing in mind that she has sold 25 million albums, last night's invitation-only showcase by Colombian Shakira was probably the smallest concert she has played for years. But if she thought playing to a mere 400 people was beneath her, it didn't show, as she pranced, wiggled and roared her way through a spirited set.

Looking and acting younger than her 28 years, she glowed with vitality and confidence as she opened with Costume, which set out an unashamedly Colombian stall. At times, during this track and also on the brilliant Underneath Your Clothes, there were points where her voice sounded rather strangulated on the high notes, and one suspects that a pre-recorded vocal track was backing her up during some of the more challenging phrases. Nonetheless, her overall showmanship was superb.

If wiggling one's body to music was a martial art, Shakira would have been awarded a black belt years ago, as her antics last night proved.

Having presumably moved on from the booty-shaking phase that first brought her international stardom with Whenever, Wherever, she performed extraordinary feats of rhythmic puppetry with her perfectly rounded stomach.

Her breasts, too, seemed to move independently, especially as she sang La Tortura (Torture), the most Latin track of the night, which embodied the frenzied, overtly sexual reggaeton sound that is sweeping South America.

But, as she closed with Don't Bother, a feisty slice of rocky pop, and Oral Fixation Pt 2, it occurred to me that every aspect of Shakira's performance - from baby-doll facial expressions to flicks of her huge mane of golden hair - was carefully stage-managed.

Het is trouwens nu wel zeker dat de volgende single iets met Wyclef (van de Fugees) wordt.
