I am not quite sure, why she struggled so much this era. The album is pretty good.

I am not quite sure, why she struggled so much this era. The album is pretty good. Well, radio didn't really support She Wolf that much. And then her team released Give It Up To Me as the second single, which is a so-so song. And then they took forever to release its follow-up. They should have gone with MITT or IDIA once She Wolf started to lose airplay. It would have been nice to hear her work with Toby Gad and RedOne, maybe Shakira did not feel those songs but I'm sure they would have clicked with radio listeners.

I still think the main reason this era wasn't a big success is because she's lost her latin sound.
To me, that's what makes Shakira unique, and therefore a mainstream artist that always stands out from the rest. She not comparable to Britney, Rihanna, Gaga, Beyonce, or any other big artist out there. She has a sound of her own. Well......had

The thing that upset me the most was how She Wolf stalled on top 40 and rhythmic radio. It was definetely a unique sounding track & catchy enough to get significant airplay. If only it was given a chance :(

Her Latin infused tracks are some of her best. Radio did'nt give her to much attention this go round, and her follow ups took quite a bit of time. But "Gypsy" is a nice track.

Shakira likes to look up her ancestors and then visit them, that's what she's doing in that pic.

She's in Spain right now feeding horses: The camera is close to the horse right? Because if not, good lord that horse is gigantic.

I think the camera is close to the horse, but Shakira is also tiny so the horse is probably huge to her. I am 5'4 and my mid-sized horses dwarf me-Shakira is even shorter and tinier! I love that she loves horses :)

I wish Coke was the sponsor for Waka Waka, cause Sony is not doing a good job.

Hmmm, is the newest seating chart a hint of what the stage looks like: I wonder what that is? Maybe its some steps that connect the catwalk to the main stage?
