July 2, 200619 yr No one ever listens to lyrics though. Well, some people like me do, but most casual single buyers dont give a damn. They'll hear timor and say "Oooh its catchy" and buy it without ever realising what its about!
July 2, 200619 yr Author Is someone my name? :P She doesn't like timor. You could tell when I said she should release it and she quickly said "Another option". My other option was 'Hey you' which she was more impressed with! :D She won´t release a controversial single because that might ruin her career with american conservatives.
July 2, 200619 yr She won´t release a controversial single because that might ruin her career with american conservatives. The controversy is already there having wrote it in the first place. And I meant this as a UK single. Obviosuly its not right for America at all
July 3, 200619 yr they have to follow of the number 1 hit hips dont lie with a single when the time is right what im wondering is how long will we have to wait for another proper studio shakira album as there is a huge gap betweenn laundry service and oral fixation,i know other album were released elsewhere so im referring to the uk/ireland scene
July 3, 200619 yr i think the best we can expect for OF2 is top20 in the UK, remember this is not a commercial album it is not filled with HDL's so we got to be realistic, i don't think the UK public will accept many sides of her, they seem to only want hips shaking shakira but the good thing is that HDL has got people to buy OF2 and hopefully they see there are many musical sides to her and more importantly accept this, but i don't really mind the fans get her thats whats important and its all about the tour coming at the end of the year/start of next year, OF2 is doing so well worldwide i don't think UK sales are that important, i'm happy with a number #1 single

I don't expect her to do another English language album for a good few years. I'd imagine she'll have a new Spanish one in 2008!
July 4, 200619 yr i wouldn't mind if she took a few years out to get married have a baby go to college and do the art history course she is interested after her tour and her promo obligations to sony for OF2, i wonder when ale sanz records his new album will she feature on it?? and if the single is released we will 99% see her doing a small promo tour in latin america to support her friend
July 4, 200619 yr Author I don´t think she will take that long... But why are you speculating on this when she had 2 albums last year, and is only on the 2nd single off current album... I somehow think that after the end of OF2 she will take one year out and then release a double spanish/english album, or just 1 album half spanish/half english. Everytime she releases spanish material seems to hurt her popularity a bit in some places (like UK/Australia), and she has to work really hard ro reconquer (like she did with Hips). So a double album would be right, cause she would release the most apropriate language to each country.
July 4, 200619 yr Yeah i think she will do another english and spanish album at the same thime thing. She still has lots of songs that didn't make oral fixation that may make the new album, so you never know she might use a few of them songs and add a few new ones.

So a double album would be right, cause she would release the most apropriate language to each country. Right. You obviously know nothing about Shakira, so why do you act like you do? All of Shakira's albums have had gaps between them. Oral fixation was basically one album split into two - a Spanish and an English. Even though it was two albums, it's still one project and is the most prolific she's been in her career. How does her Spanish material hurt her popularity? La tortura was her biggest hit ever, and one of the biggest global hits of last year. FO1 sold better in America than OF2! Her popularity in the UK and Australia really wouldn't be on the top of her priorities when she's so big worldwide!
July 5, 200619 yr I DIDNT MEAN TO UPSTE POEPLE here,i just wondered what the gap might be,im not a huge fan and only know her uk stuff so i wasnt up to date on her worldwide stuff,so sorry i asked the question
July 5, 200619 yr Author Right. You obviously know nothing about Shakira, so why do you act like you do? All of Shakira's albums have had gaps between them.

Her popularity in the UK and Australia really wouldn't be on the top of her priorities when she's so big worldwide! What did I say wrong? I was just making a prediction. Why do you have to be so defensive? If she keeps promoting OF2 until the end of this year, then takes 1 year off and comes back with a new album in 2008, wouldn´t that be already a big gap? Her spanish albums make her popularity decrease in many countries and that´s a FACT. If you mean North America, OF2 has sold more then FO1 and still selling... If you mean latin america, well, it´s only normal because they speak spanish. And in the rest of the world, when all is said and done, none of her spanish albums will ever sell like Laundry Service of OF2 (because it has already outsold FO1 in many places and at the end of its run will have outsold it everywhere except Latin america). And by the way, La Tortura was not her biggest hit ever.
July 5, 200619 yr Author I DIDNT MEAN TO UPSTE POEPLE here,i just wondered what the gap might be,im not a huge fan and only know her uk stuff so i wasnt up to date on her worldwide stuff,so sorry i asked the question Don´t worry, you might always be recepted with sticks and stones for apparently no reason.
July 5, 200619 yr didfan you assume that because spanish album sales aren't as high as english albums sales that this means she becomes less popular, this is not the right way to look at this....spanish albums are mostly for latin markets the fact that FO1 went top 10 in the USA and many parts of the world is ground breaking, sony were so confident in her they decided to target many non speaking spanish countries not many artists can do this, also taking 1 year out is not a big gap at all, shakira has a life out of the music business and doesn't have the typical 'pop star' lifestyle as fans we respect that if she want to get married to her longtime boyfriend and have children or do a college course then we'll let her and won't make demands on her to just keep releasing albums, she comes first and i for one don't want her to miss out on becoming a wife and mother
July 5, 200619 yr Didofan, you make out that FO1 damaged Shakira's career or something. It is the complete opposite - it just showed the power that Shakira had to release an all Spanish album on a global level - not many artists manage that. She's sold something like 3 million copies of FO1 and that's with only 1 single released.
July 5, 200619 yr OF1 is one of her best albums, sell wise and music wise. Dido Fan, every bloody topic you post it is bombed with greif and god knows what. Give it a bloody rest
July 5, 200619 yr Author OF1 is one of her best albums, sell wise and music wise. Dido Fan, every bloody topic you post it is bombed with greif and god knows what. Give it a bloody rest Why don´t you give a bloody rest of acting like a ****$#&$#* as if every bloody post was a imediate offense to you or your beloved Shakira. Read my posts again and show me what have I done wrong. Stop acting like a 5 year old child. What are you gonna do next? Call your mother?

Cause you are pathetic ;) If I was a 5 year old child, do you even think I would be able to type at the computer? Nah Call my mother :lol: Yet another pathetic comment that I find remotly hillarious!
July 5, 200619 yr I was ready to make a post with facts at how well FO1 sold, but after that pathetic comment from didofan, I've decided its not worth my time!
