It not as though Shaki exposed more of herself in this video; in 'Rabiosa', Shaki gave us plenty of chances to examine where her inner thighs reaches her lab-majora. But I, myself, used to be a huge fan and now I am sick of Shakira making videos specifically to put a tent in men's pants and provoking "did Shakira go too far?" headlines. Shaki is uber-talented, but as a woman I feel put off by the crack of Shaki's arse being shoved at my face. But I do miss her fun dancing and easy-going sexuality from the 'Laundry Service' era. I'm not falling for this bullshit where she plays her guitar and drums in the video; it's transparently crying "but I'm still a real musician!!1!" In 'Did it Again' she implies that the sex kitten image is just a phase she's going through, but it's become the image her career relies on. Even Britney Spears isn't this risque. Over 30 million views views of this video clip in three days? Congratulations Shaki. But how many are just masturbating to it, and how many are inspired to buy the single? 'Cause I'm neither ![]() fucking incorrect imbed tags... Fuck it. If you've seen Shakira's crack once, you've seen it a thousand times. Edited by Kat Scorp, Feb 2 2014, 07:37 PM.

I was never one of those fans who believed the sun shone out of Shaki's arse, and I believe she was always pro-submissive. She doesn't need "saving", she's happy to be the "neck" of the relationship. But it's curious to me that other people are upset or weirded out, like Shaki hasn't always hedged against being seen as "too" empowered. Edited by Kat Scorp, Mar 19 2014, 07:16 PM.

Regarding the album - 'Shakira.' - I'm ashamed to say that I did buy it in the end. Actually, I bought two copies by accident. I liked the second single, 'Empire'. I respect that in 'Spotlight' she admits "leaves her old boyfriend and crumbles in [Pique's] arms" (I respect she doesn't deny the affair), but Shaki is still largely self-serving with "in the end, you know I won". It's like, fuck you to the woman Pique cheated on/left for Shaki. Niiiice. Shaki also really plays up the victim role to her break up with her ex-fiance, De la Rua. She blames him in two songs (plus a side remark in a song about Pique). Yeah, de la Rua sued her; but I don't believe she's a victim. She ran her 'Mongoose' tour into deficit, released the original, boring 'Oral Fixation' that bombed, and 'She Wolf' was Britney-lite and not the cathartic, strong era you might expect from a self-proclaimed "perfectionist". I believe de la Rua when he says he pushed for 'Hips Don't Lie' and 'Waka Waka'; that Oral Fixation album just seemed to prove Shaki isn't as career-smart as presented. Anyway, I like the new album plenty. Milan's mumbling is cute; each song comes with a very different music track; I love 'Chasing Shadows' for it's 80s/90s pop influence. |

I haven't bought the whole album, just two songs that appealed to me when I streamed them. You Don't Care About Me Nunca Me Acuerdo de Olvidarte I might get Empire. I kinda like it when i first heard it. Edited by greysfang, Apr 15 2014, 01:00 PM.
