You can make a semi-decent album with everything she's released now since El Dorado: You're right lol. I forget how many singles she's released since El Dorado! Hopefully she at least gives us a long album.

It's a lost cause to complain about Jaume. Shakira sees him as a friend. She'll be loyal to him for who knows how long. That's something that's always been a problem with Shakira. She's way too loyal. She's that way with her band too. She could find much better musicians for her tour and much better directors for her videos, but she picks them because she sees them as friends.

I always thought Shakira's band were great I just feel like Tim, Brendan and Albert are part of the Shakira live experience. Jaume might be very hit and miss but I was reading criticism of Lady Gaga for working with R Kelly and Terry Richardson and I just thought, you never have to go through that with Shakira. She obviously trusts Jaume.

Copa Vacia finally out... feels like it's an age since the clips leaked. Think it was overselling it a bit calling the video a movie.
I like the song, basic but catchy. Probably not distinct enough to leave a lasting impression.
If Shakira's gonna keep doing reggaeton, she needs to start thinking outside the box because it's all getting a bit samey. Need some Rosalia style bangers or she should work with Diplo again... Gordita was great.

Totally with you, Ashley. I've LOVED her since 1996 and I'm so glad about her massive success this last year, but the reggaeton beat is getting old. I'm sure she'll have another hit with this, but without adding some edge to her sound, it starts sounding samey as you say, not very original. But the formula has been selling extremely well for her since reggaeton is so big in the world. She looks hot in the video. I agree with you re Rosalia too, although for her releases after Motomami including the ones with her boyfriend they've been sounding less experimental. Hopefully the new Shakira album won't be all full of plain reggaeton and plain bachata.

This is easily her weakest release this year. Do I switch the station if it comes on? No. But not something I'll be seeking out.

Hopefully the new Shakira album won't be all full of plain reggaeton and plain bachata. She recorded this before Session 53 exploded. I hope she noticed people loved that song because it's a fun pop song that sounds like signature Shakira. Hopefully we get more dance songs on the album. Copa Vacia sounds like Shakira trying to give Latin radio what they want from her. It's not a bad song, it's just not something I'd listen to regularly. I'm tired of Reggaeton.

The nods really do cement the notion that she'll get the vanguard award.

If this is true I think it's a pretty great setlist: https://www.instagram.com/p/CwvODZ6NPBS The only thing I'd change is to swap Ciega Sordomuda for Loca. It would also be good to get TQG in there. I'd be very happy to see Objection again. The 2002 VMAs performance was iconic.

I'm pretending I didn't see the "Ciega, sordomuda" slander.

I loved her performance!
I hope next time we get some sort of medley from her she leaves Whenever Wherever and Hips Don't Lie at home or she switches them up a bit. I know those are easily her top two songs stateside but they both felt very been there done that and a lot of the choreo we have already seen.
I loved getting TQG, Te Felicito and Session 53.

The performance was good, but the stage itself didn't do her any favors. it felt a little claustrophobic

Shakira was amazing last night! She showcased all the hits that were heavily promoted on MTV and she performed her most recent hits. Focusing on so many recent hits made people remember she still has a lot left. I've seen people criticize her lip-synching. At this point, all fans know what she does. She lip-syncs when she's doing too much quick dancing, the moment she slows down she sings those parts live. Lip-synching aside, it was Shakira at her absolute best.

The new song is downright horrible. It’s my least favorite Shakira song. It’s probably something Sony Latin wanted her to do. She should have said no. Anyways, on to the next song…,

I think it's great. A nice change from reggaeton and a decent video.
Would love a remix though... either Riton again or someone like Major Lazer.
