November 14, 200618 yr Interesting list, there's quite a few songs that have appeared which I thought would be top 10, so it'll be interesting to see what it actually is :D
November 15, 200618 yr it is very interesting i'd put WW/suerte in my top5, Las De La Intuicion top10 theres something about that song the more i hear it the more i keep loving it but its so difficult to do a top10 it keeps changing with moods, also La tortura i'd place in top10
November 15, 200618 yr Author :lol: ! Although I do like WW, I deffinately overplayed it for a long time, and now my love for it has kind of faded :P LT ive always loved, but never as much as other people have & HDL is great, but one of the important things to me in songs are the lyrics, and I wouldn't really call hdl lyrically deep :P I'd say my top 10 is pretty rocky tbh :o I think one entry in particular will surprise people its so high :o Edited November 15, 200618 yr by Exodus
November 15, 200618 yr Objection tango, underneath your clothes, eyes like yours/ ojos asi, Inevitable and the one for the top ten :kink:

November 15, 200618 yr Author 10: Objection [Tango]/Te Aviso Te Anuncio [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5W3tHhqRdI.swf & so the top 10 begins! Easily the best single off the Laundry Service album, this song basically rocks. Traditional tango with a twist, it has a great bassline, and the middle bit when she speaks with just the base drum behind her is awesome :P Uptempo, fierce, and a great way to kick off the top 10. However, there is one Laundry Service song left to chart..... Edited November 15, 200618 yr by Exodus
November 15, 200618 yr Author 9: Ojos Asi [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT4ZP4Ok1LE.swf Wow! This used to be my favourite Shakira song :o Everything about this just feels so right, the powerful vocals, the thumping arabic music, Shakira's ultimate uptempo song. The way she brings in each verse with her powerful voice just blows you away, and the vocals set it a mile apart from the inferior translation ''Eyes Like Yours'' When she performs this, she blows you away, wether it be the opening of tour of the mongoose with special effects and all sorts, or the stripped down version she performed on MTV Unplugged, it will wow you. Trust me. Edited November 15, 200618 yr by Exodus
November 15, 200618 yr Author 8: The One [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU6MRwuSUbs.swf The final song in my chart to come from the Laundry Service album. In an album that at first hits you with uptempto songs such as WW & ELY, but then gives you a ballad at the beginning with UYC, some people may not appreciate this. I however, love it. With this song Shakira delivers a deeply emotional and loving song. The ultimate power ballad, this song is just big & beautiful. Puts Mariah to shame :wub:
November 15, 200618 yr Author 7: How Do You Do [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0o-8iFXXO0.swf Like I have said before, I love it when Shakira goes controversial, & you dont get much more controversial than this! A hard hitting & condemming song which had to be edited in some countries for fear of offended. in this song, Shakira questions God, and in return is questioning peoples beliefs. How many people die & hurt in your name? Does that bring you joy, or does it bring you shame? However, its not only the lyrics that sell this song, the music itself is haunting, a gregorian choir mixed with a powerful guitar sound, and Shakira powerful vocals really do make this song one of the highlights of the Fixation era
November 15, 200618 yr Author 6: Don't Bother [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RtESOQ1HXM.swf The highest charting song off the Oral Fixation album. Lets be honest, this song wasnt the success everyone hoped it would be, and wasnt the best lead single for the album. However, fuck that, this song is frickin' awesome! :D Shakira at her rocking best, in this song Shakira even plays a guitar solo. It's just a great rock song & if I had my way, this song would have been the biggest radio song, not HDL. She sounds scathing, hurt, angry, yet she sounds better than ever. I should also say that in the top 5 there are no english songs above this which means Don't Bother is my favourite english language song of Shakira's!
November 15, 200618 yr Author 5: Ciega Sordomuda [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOeaxkMbGO8.swf The ultimate summer song. Trumpets blazing, Shakira singing about being at the end of her teather, and lets her song do the talking. Originally my favourite Shaki song, there is just nothing about this you cant love, and the people agree, as it gave her her 1st latin #1. the video is also my personal favourite Shakira video, its so random it makes sense :lol:
November 15, 200618 yr Author 4: Pies Descalzos Suenos Blancos [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulHDR4P1a0g.swf One of the 2 major songs that stand out on the PD album, and this song kind of defines the music on the album. It's a catchy, uptempo song & I have always loved it, although never has been my favourite! :o i could easily put this song on repeat for a day & not tire of it :lol: Theres nothing you can dislike about it. A defining moment in Shakira's music for me, so many songs try to sound like this and fail. Awesome. I should mention this....there is 1 song left from the PD album, i wonder what it is, and I wonder where it will chart........
November 15, 200618 yr Author 3: No [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFG1CN3Yo9U.swf The highest charting song from the Fixation era, and Shakira's most beautiful ballad. In this song you can feel her pain, her sadness, and this is even more effective when you watch the video as she cries :cry: I don't know what else to say except that it is beautiful! Her voice is strong yet sombre, and when the drums kick in close to the end, it really adds to the song, like no matter how sombre you are, theres always a light to follow Edited November 15, 200618 yr by Exodus
November 15, 200618 yr Author So we have 2 songs left, one is from the Pies Descalzos album, the other from Donde Estan Los Ladrones? both have been #1 on my shakira chart before, but which one is it now. I should also mention that whatever song is #1 on here, is my favourite song of all time........... Edited November 15, 200618 yr by Exodus
