I know people say Shakira changed her sound but to me Dónde están los ladrones? sounds similar to Piez Descalzos and I KNOW people say that she was NOT famous yet but in my country Piez Descalzos singles played on the radio and Dónde están los ladrones? was EVERYWHERE with Ciega, Sordomuda and Inevitable. Then Ojos Asi came out and you had a bunch of girls in my school thinking they can Belly Dance, lol. The Unplugged was played a lot too in MTVLa.

Rant over. lol.

Oh and:

Aunque también me gustabas cuando estabas más gordita.
Con el pelito negrito y la cara redondita.
Así medio roquerita.

My fave Shakira, she comes every once in a while, see: Antes de las Seis and Dia de Enero. I love those songs!

ia re: shakira
she just crossed over to appeal to an english speaking audience imo

[potatoehead25]

Exactly.

People who talk shit about the quality of her post-crossover music are ignorant and have never paid attention. Her Laundry Service music is very her (Poem to a Horse, Underneath Your Clothes, The One are very 90s Shakira *and let me add the perfection that's Que me quedes tú) and Fijación Oral Vol. 1 is a perfect album, even though I love Dónde Están los Ladrones.

And since we're at that, justice for Gordita as a single.

I loved laundry service including all the songs you mentioned

[potatoehead25]

I love Underneath Your Clothes and makes me feel so nostalgic when i listen to it now.

Everything went downhill after She Wolf

Laundry Service was the first Cd I ever owned and it is a flawless album, and the Oral Fixation double album era is fantastic too.

I will say that the album w g*psy and werewolf and waka waka didn't do much for me, maybe i should check back w her newer stuff

redondita is seriously one of the cutest words ever, I love it lol ❤️

I had only seen a few minutes of the MTv unplugged before wherever whenever came out, but when making the post, the video right before that song was bascally only a hair color change. I assume like now with BTS the claims come from singing in English which I don't have experience with, so I can't fully speak on that. This song would have easily made the top 20 in English, and "Underneath your cloths" is still very much who she was earlier in her career.

she did have two albums before those that were a bit poppier, so she changed her sound from that at least. i don't know if they should count because she was so young, but, you know.
