    2. 2

      shaki is amazing



    3. 3

      I do not understand how this woman is famous. She cannot sing at all! Yes she is nice looking and has a nice body but she has ZERO talent!



    4. 4

    5. 5

      Awful!



    7. 7

      that was kind of brutal



    8. 8

      That was live? Maybe she was singing live.. but it's so 'electronically altered' she could sound like a bullfrog and it would come out good.



    9. 9

      I LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Re: Yeistarrstruck – Shaki? Are you close with her to call her that? Are you guys friends? Probably not….now die!



    11. 11

      she's not really a great singer, the one where she was on dancing with the stars was better



    12. 12

      ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ she needs to stick to lip synching



    13. 13

      BITCH IS BANGABLE NOT SANGABLE. NOTE THE DIFFERENCE FAT MARIO!!



    14. 14

      Why is it a big deal that a singer can sing? Kelly Clarkson sings live all the time and no one acts like it's a miracle.



    15. 15

      Aggggggg! It's awful. She can't sing and she can't dance. Bys the way, is it great news that she sang live? She should sing live always as she calls herself a singer. But she has no talent at all. She's just another hottie selling sex.



    16. 16

      yayay



    17. 17

      I LOVE SHAKIRA!!!!!!



    18. 18

      The song isn't for her, the lyrics are FIERCE but the kinda beat and tone of the song isn't for her voice.. She has (or had) a voice, however I don't think anyone can sing this properly. Let's just say this song is MEANT for lip syncing.



    19. 19

      LOVE this song electronically enhanced. its not bad either live(ish). Love the song.



    20. 20

      That was painful on the ears.



    21. 21

      When Shakira first came out, she was different, the way she looked, sang, and moved. She knew that, her record company used it to their advantage. Now lets fast fwd years later, where she doesn't look or sound any differently than the performers we see today, she just looks older. She is still doing her dance moves from the 90's & really using sex to sell herself & her songs. Now how original is that? When an artist only has tricks to market themselves, they become very boring very quickly. I just wish more 'performers' would sing their songs & stop with gimmicks, (like Lady GaGa, what was with the red lace veil over her face at the MTV Awards). Seriously, where the F*** is all the talent?



    22. 22

      Still a crap song



    23. 23

      She is beautiful whether you like her or not you have to give her that , and at first her vocals were rocky but she got better it was good.



    24. 24

      Re: BugsLabellle – I agree, that girl can compose and play a guitar like no other. And she's a hella talented dancer… now she's just going over the top with the sexy business.



    25. 25

      OMG the SHAKIRA we knew has died!!!!!!!! NOW WE HAVE THIS OFF-KEY VERSION OF HER…Im just so sad!!!

      wow lovesssssss it!



    27. 27

      The backup singer was holding her up big time. Shakira's voice was weak without her. A catchy song.. the howling makes me cringe though…

      not her beast, But she can do better

      29

      I meant best



    30. 30

      We knew she could sing, we knew she could dance.
      BUT she can NOT do both at the same time, like Beyoncé…
      The song is good, but she's not that good performer…
      In this performance, she almost doesn't dance



    31. 31

      Wow! I always love that cute little howl ^^



    32. 32

      Hmmm….



    33. 33

      amazing!



    34. 34

      I looovee her!!



    35. 35

      Omg, she's horrible and the dancing is WEIRD!

      i even don't know if this is good or bad or normal..



    37. 37

      Perez, youre fucking comical. I cant believe almost all these people dont get the sarcasm.



    38. 38

      i miss the old shakira!
      the old spanish songs where so much better and she used to be so different from all the other pop stars, now she's jst the same
      SHAME



    39. 39

      this def not 100% live… i see alot of lip synching here



    40. 40

      THAT WAS SO NOT LIVE
      PEREZ IS CLEARLY BEING SARCASTIC
      i love singers who can sing!
      miley cyrus is my fav one

      41

      hate the song. can't stand her. but nice body.



    42. 42

      WAY Overrated performer.



    43. 43

      she's way different than her old stuff.. not as entertaining and doesn't sound as good. and her "dancing" was quite awful.



    44. 44

      This song still sucks. I don't understand how people like her music. So boring. Hey lyrics don't even make sense.



    45. 45

      Shakira is amazing. Great video.



    46. 46

      I'm so glad she's back!!! The real queen of pop music, the legend: Shakira!



    47. 47

      u would think she would've improved her american singer accent after all this time. ahhhh woooo.



    48. 48

      that sounds exactly like the recording! She's amazing!

      haters will always hate…period :)



    50. 50

      I remember Shakira when she had some really interesting music and some kick ass pop/rock vocals.
      I don't know WTF this is, sell out - you're better than this Shakira.



    51. 51

      so hot so talented can i get a slice of that pie



    52. 52

      I used to be a huge Shakira fan, not so much anymore. She's become another Britney clone. Don't get me wrong I love Britney. It's just that Shakira did not start out as a Britney clone. We know she is capable of doing other things. She was different and that's why I liked her. She never use to lipsynch. She never use to need backup singers and she used to make better music. It was more about playing instruments. It was more about the music and less about what seductive dance moves can I come up with next. It's unfortunate she decided to sell out. I think people that have been her fans since Pies Descalazos have definitely noticed and that's why her single is not doing as well as expected. Where's the Shaki from Pies Descalzos or Donde estan los ladrones? Not here.



    53. 53

      i would realy like to know how many of you guys have followed her career from the beginning. obviously this music is not her strength but she can sing. listen to donde estan los ladrones album and piez descalzos. fuck listen to her mtv unplugged album and you hear that she can sing. i'm tired of all you lame asses saying can't sing, what the fuck have you done lately. fucking losers is what you are that have too much time on your hands to coming here bashing someone you obviously don't care for.



    54. 54

      At least she's NATURALLY hot and contrary to Bitchney, Shakira DO sing live.



    55. 55

      Oops little typo, I meant Shakira DOES sing live .. :-)



    56. 56

      what! she's TOTALLY lipsyncing!! Listen at the end where she says thanks or whatever it's sooo much quieter than the actual song. PLus I've seen videos of her live and she cannot hit the notes exactly like she did on this. BS

      57

      I love it, and love her… I sure know that she has a lot of talent not like u guys that ur only talent is talk shit about everybody… vayanse a la mierda!



    58. 58

      i can tell that she only dances when she's not singing live because she cant do both things at the same time.. such as other artist.. because here… she didnt made any of those weird moves she made on her video or like she did on nicks show… because there she was only dancing ….



    59. 59

      what a dreadful lead off single !!! if i were her, I'd be howling to get another single out!



    60. 60

      Really…so ANNOYING! Same squeeky voice as "pies descalsos"!!! Aagghhhh over it!



    61. 61

      Thats my girl Shakira!! I told you she had the talent but sometimes artist rely on lypsynching to make their performances better. Did you notice she is not dancing as much? This girl really does work hard and produces and writes her own music! I love Shaki forever and ever!



    62. 62

      are you fucking deaf? there were parts where none of it was her at all. whether it was electronically enhanced or backup, the chorus was so off



    63. 63

      i missed the dancing.. its really coolbut its great to see her singing live..

    64. rickM says – reply to this


      64

      hahahah



    65. 65

      En español es mucho mejorrr!!!!!
      Shakira esta increible.!



    66. 66

      The song is still sh*te though!



    67. 67

      she's cute and all but the singing is bad!!!! still think she sounds like a goat



    68. 68

      Re: keys28 – SHAKIRA CAN'T DANCE???
      HAHAHAHAHA
      that's really funny.
      i mean, i agree that there are different opinions because everyone hears differently, but she is KNOWN for her amazing dancing.
      i'd really like to see you do that!



    69. 69

      Re: BugsLabellle – I agree.. I like her cd like Grandes Exitos..but those songs like She wolf and etc.. isn't her. She was red hair girl, really different from others. And now she's blond, with electro style music like anothers singers..



    70. 70

      I can't stand to hear her falsetto voice. She's another non-talented person that Perez adores. *gagging*



    71. 71

      Shakira is one of the greatest artists ever!



    72. 72

      awesome :)



    73. 73

      I like her early works but she sounds SO bad in English :/



    74. 74

      I think she sounds amazing, and for you lame-o's to make fun of her, well your just that, LAME!



    75. 75

      sounds great to me, not sure whats with the muppets below that don't think so



    76. 76

      youre not allowed to mime on live lounge, the clue is in the name, at least shes proved she can actually sing the song (sort of)



    77. 77

      The sound of her voice makes my ears bleed. This is just proof that people are mesmerized by her beauty because she CANNOT sing. Nasally, weak, voice. Horrible!



    78. 78

      i miss the old shakira!… EXTRAÑO A LA ANTIGUA SHAKIRA =(



    79. 79

      Re: mistica
      um before red hair she had black hair. i don't see why the color of anyone's hair makes any difference. the hair is not doing the singing.
