AngelinMusic: Hola Shakira!

HipsOfShakira: Hola Angel!!!

AngelinMusic: Great to have you with us!

HipsOfShakira: The pleasure is mine, thanks for having me

AngelinMusic: Where are you chatting from today?

HipsOfShakira: From Barcelona

AngelinMusic: wow, really cool. Are you doing promotion or playing a concert?

HipsOfShakira: I am meeting with the director of my tour, finalizing all the details for my "Oral Fixation Tour,†which is about to start on the 14th of June in Zaragoza, Spain

AngelinMusic: speaking of the tour, we heard that your dates in New York, Miami and Los Angeles are all sold out!

AngelinMusic: how does it feel?

HipsOfShakira: It feels incredible. This is an amazing moment in my career. I heard that the Miami show was sold out from the internet before it even went on sale. I can’t believe it.

AngelinMusic: WOW!!!!!!! Congrats

HipsOfShakira: I am so thankful to my fans. They are making me a happy woman.

AngelinMusic: and we are happy for you!

HipsOfShakira: Thank you!

AngelinMusic: Are you excited for Rock in Rio?

HipsOfShakira: Very much. I love Portugal. People are always so nice to me there.

AngelinMusic: What have you heard about the festival?

HipsOfShakira: That Roger Waters is going to play and he is an acquaintance of mine, as well as other great artists

AngelinMusic: Any thoughts on meeting Axl Rose?

HipsOfShakira: Who doesn't want to meet Axl Rose!!!

HipsOfShakira: I also know Anthony from Chili Peppers and Santana is a friend. It’s going to be a great artists' encounter!!

AngelinMusic: How has your live show evolved in the past year?

HipsOfShakira: This new show will have a very strong dance element. The lights, the sound, the imagery will be artistic but sober. This show will have moments of beauty, but I will stay away from overproduction.

AngelinMusic: looking forward to it!

HipsOfShakira: The music will be the most important thing, so my public will be able to sing along all the songs they are familiar with

AngelinMusic: Perfecto! Me encanta! We love it!

AngelinMusic: What is the best concert YOU ever saw? Describe it or tell us what was so great about it?

HipsOfShakira: Depeche Mode

AngelinMusic: I love you now even more!!!

HipsOfShakira: The best part about it was the music and the fact that Dave Gahan is a great performer and the best live singer I've ever heard

AngelinMusic: What do you do for fun on the road when you are not onstage? hobbies, etc

HipsOfShakira: Meet up with the band, listen to their jokes

HipsOfShakira: read all I can

HipsOfShakira: and play tennis once in a while.

AngelinMusic: Can you tell us a little bit about the Barefeet Foundation in Colombia?

HipsOfShakira: It’s doing really well. We have 3,074 kids who we provide with food, psychological assistance and education

HipsOfShakira: And we are building new schools in remote areas in Colombia

AngelinMusic: It was great to see you with the kids at the Latin Billboard Awards

HipsOfShakira: It was great of Telemundo to have flown them from Colombia to Miami

HipsOfShakira: They are kids who live in extreme poverty in Colombia

HipsOfShakira: they were having so much fun! They saw the ocean for the first time and they went shopping!

AngelinMusic: They must have enjoyed that so much.

AngelinMusic: What's a normal day like for Shakira?

HipsOfShakira: There are no normal days in my life

HipsOfShakira: except for when I am in my house in the Bahamas

HipsOfShakira: There, I can play with my three dogs and plant flowers, go to the beach and stare at the horizon

HipsOfShakira: other than that, I am always on a plane, rehearsing, doing interviews, in the recording studio, etc.

AngelinMusic: You've been all over the place promoting your album, and your latest hit ‘Hips Don't Lie,’ so I have to ask… do you have to use a nickname when checking into a hotel so that people don't recognize you?

HipsOfShakira: I use a nickname, but only so I am not woken up at 3am

HipsOfShakira: I don’t mind people recognizing me. I like it when people in the street call me by my name and show me their affection.

AngelinMusic: All of your hard work is certainly paying off...

AngelinMusic: So what's in your iPod right now?

HipsOfShakira: Nothing. I’ve had no time to fill my iPod with songs

HipsOfShakira: it’s the emptiest iPod on earth

AngelinMusic: Well, my iPod is filled with YOUR songs!

HipsOfShakira: You are so sweet!!!! Thanks.

AngelinMusic: What was it like working with Alejandro Sanz??

HipsOfShakira: It was inspiring, fun and just lovely

AngelinMusic: It was great chatting with you, Shakira. Thanks so much for taking the time with us today.

HipsOfShakira: Thanks so much for your time as well.

HipsOfShakira: Big hugs to you.

HipsOfShakira: SHAKI!

AngelinMusic: Best of luck with everything, and we'll see you at your tour dates here in the U.S... Abrazos!

HipsOfShakira: Chau
