Shakira for me, Underneath Your Clothes feels a little forgotten compared to her mega hits.

Wow I opened this thread as 'If Tomorrow Never Comes' was playing on the TV, as Ronan is currently doing the New Year's Eve party on BBC1 spooky!

Shakira. It really reminds me of Bangles - Eternal Flame but I prefer it as it is not so overplayed!

Sorry Ronan but Shakira easily wins here but am one of very few who does like ITNC to a degree.

Now that you mention it I can heat the similarities.

Shakira. I DESPISE the other one, my Mum used to play it constantly

Shakira - lovely quirky ballad

Shakira, actually my second favourite song from her after Hips Don't Lie, I really adore this ballad and it was enough to convince me to buy the album when I listened to it on a listening post in Borders in April 2002. I fell in love with the song immediately.
