Shakira still has a lot of talent, but she definitely slid on Laundry Service. I don't know if it's the cross to trying to do things in English, or her current production/management people, but if you compare Laundry Service to her previous two studio albums, Donde Estan Los Ladrones and Pies Descalsos, the two earlier once have a lot more going on in every way, and are still fun. Donde Estan Los Ladrones just rocks from beginning to end.

Which I checked from Everything2 and would have absolutely no way of knowing otherwise from Everything2, because I checked it from Everything2."Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe.

Shakira just hurts her own act by trying to be everything at the same time. Not that it's my kind of music anyhow but I can't argue against that she's one of the most charismatic women that have entered the mainstream scene in quite a while. Just look in her eyes and compare it with those young pop tarts like Avril, Britney, Christina Aguilera. One could drown in the depth of them. Sure, it's just an illusion that tells very little about the persons but selling mainstream music is about selling illusions. Compared to how Avril tries to sell her illusion in the quotes in this thread Shakira's a rocket science.

I like Shakira's Pepsi commercials.
The one where the store clerk is dancing with her cardboard cutout is hilarious!We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham Lincoln

"All the other pop chicks are all sweet and innocent, but I smash guitars in my videos, I say **** in my interviews, because thats the badass attitude I've always had"
" One time me and my friend got kicked out of math class and we picked up our skateboards and skated through the hallways, with all the teachers shouting at us"
"I trash things and scream and run riot. Its fun to trash things, I trashed a hotel room recently, I nearly threw the TV out of the window" "People are always saying that I'm just a product of the record label and manufactured, but its just not true, it pisses me off because I'm not like that. I'm a writer. I write my music. Do you think three adults came up with 'sk8er boi' those were my words, it really ****ing rips me up when people try to take my credit away from me just because they're great songs"

I know I'm very late with this one but i heard Chop Suey, Avril style for the first time last ngiht.
I thought that people may have been exaggerating when they said she sounded like a colony of hamsters having 10,000 volts shot up their arses.
But they weren't.Periodista : A proposito del escudo de la fe, Elisa, a mà me sorprendÃa Reutemann diciendo que estaba dispuesto a enfrentarse con el mismÃsimo demonio (Menem) y después terminó bajándose de la candidatura. Ahà parece que fuera ganando el demonio.

The sad thing is that all these brainwashed teeny boppers will think that her music is representative of punk because of her."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

I hate to admit it, but I do like Shakira's music.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

*claws own face*
I read some snippet claiming her band had played her some Pixies and she had liked Monkey Gone To Heaven (which would seem to hint at some hope) but couldn't get into Debaser."Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe.

I agree, nothing to be ashamed of at all. I mean, hey, everyone can slip a little when they make a major change in their style (I mean just look at Revolver, what a crappy åss record!) but her Spanish music is really cool - pop music for people who are really into music."mono has crazy flow and can rhyme words that shouldn't, like Eminem"
