Biography

Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll (pronounced: [ʃaˈkiɾa isaˈβel meβa'ɾak riˈpol]; born February 2, 1977), known professionally as Shakira (English /ʃəˈkɪərə/, Spanish: [ʃaˈkiɾa]), is a Colombian singer-songwriter, dancer, record producer, choreographer and model. Born and raised in Barranquilla, she began performing in school, demonstrating Latin, Arabic, and rock and roll influences and belly dancing abilities. Shakira released her first studio albums, Magia and Peligro, in the early 1990s, failing to attain commercial success; however, she rose to prominence in Latin America with her major-label debut, Pies Descalzos (1996), and her fourth album, Dónde Están los Ladrones? (1998).

 

Shakira entered the English-language market with her fifth album, Laundry Service (2001), which has sold over 20 million copies worldwide. Its lead single, "Whenever, Wherever", became the best-selling single of 2002. Her success was solidified with her sixth and seventh albums Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 and Oral Fixation, Vol. 2 (2005), the latter of which spawned the best-selling song of the 21st century, "Hips Don't Lie". Shakira's eighth and ninth albums, She Wolf (2009) and Sale el Sol (2010), received critical praise but suffered from limited promotion due to her strained relationship with label Epic Records. Her official song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)", became the biggest-selling World Cup song of all time. With over 550 million views, its music video is the eighth most-watched video on YouTube. Since 2013, Shakira has served as a coach on the American version of The Voice, having appeared in two of its six seasons.

 

Shakira has won many awards including five MTV Video Music Awards, two Grammy Awards, eight Latin Grammy Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards, twenty-eight Billboard Latin Music Awards and has been Golden Globe-nominated. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and she is the highest-selling Colombian artist of all time, having sold a total of 125 million records worldwide, over 70 million albums and 55 million singles. Her U.S. album sales stand at 9.9 million. Outside of her work in the music industry, Shakira is also involved in philanthropic activities through charity work and benefit concerts, notably her Pies Descalzos Foundation, her performance at the "Clinton Global Initiative" created by former U.S. President Bill Clinton, and her invitation to the Oval Office by President Barack Obama in February 2010 to discuss early childhood development. In 2013, Shakira was listed on Forbes as one of the 100 most powerful women in the world. - Wikipedia

quite forgettable... you say she's never troubled the charts since... cos all her recent stuff flopped or cos she has never released anything else?

Shakira is Colombian not Columbian :D

 

Don't Bother is amazing!!! Love rock-Shakira :)

Edited March 13, 201610 yr by Bjork

No idea that Charlotte song existed. Not too bothered about not knowing it.

 

Don't Bother though, that one's stuck in my conscience, my favourite slower Shakira song and one of the best in her catalogue anyway.

On retrospect, this is definitely in my Top 5 Shakira songs... so emosh!

quite forgettable... you say she's never troubled the charts since... cos all her recent stuff flopped or cos she has never released anything else?

Charlotte Church did release singles but never troubled the top 100 since then.

Shakira's lost it a bit recently, her song with Rihanna was beyond bad, but this is great!!!

Moodswings actually sounding good on first listen!

 

Yesss at Don't Bother, a very underrated Shakira song! :wub:

This Shakira song :o

#18

 

CD is at #18 when he was at the peak of his career. This was a new entry but the song couldn't fulfil the expectations and never climbed higher afterwards.

I had no idea Craig David was still about in 2006. It's BIZARRE he's still alive and kicking in 2016 but as far as I was concerned he was a first half of the 2000's (and then mainly 2000) thing only.

 

Although this sounds like something that never caught the public consciousness anyway.

that shakira track was somewhat overshadowed by 'hips don't lie'~

 

craig david *.* LEGend ~ alas not one of his best

didn't recall this Craig David song... sounds good, a bit like Walking Away

"Don't Bother" is quite good by Shakira's standards. I'm not usually a fan of hers, "Hips Don't Lie" did nothing for me.

So many good underrated songs so far.

 

The Weakness In Me, Moodswings, Don't Bother and Like You :wub:.
