I am probably one of the few who knew Shakira before the big hype. Through songs like "Estoy Aqui" I became aware of them. That just "Laundry Service" is the breakthrough is thus to understand that she sings for the first time in English. The sit but hard to understand. Even the hit "Whenever Wherever" sounds in Spanish ("Suerte") much better. The new single "Underneath Your Clothes" Although is a good song, but the text is awful ("Underneath Your Clothes, there's an endless story ..."). Highlight is "Eyes Like Yours" playing with oriental sounds - however this is only an English version of "Ojos asi". The rest is trivial Latin pop. Those who want something good from Shakira, should "Shakira: MTV Unplugged" buy. As it is true in top form. And with auburn hair she also looked even better than the blonde Latina Britney.
