    She's beautiful, yeah, but she sounds like a goat with cotton stuck in it's mouth. Also, her song writting skills are bad, especially her lyrics.

    Wow, Its surprising. Here in Spain, Shakira makes the perfect music for get drunk, dance and vomit. It has no substance and stupid and now the english papers say that its really phantastic!! What happened now if I say that Gery from Spice Girls is the best english singer of the moment? English people should listen the really good music in spanish and not this awfull gir..

    Given the strength of this album, it's hard to wait for the second part to arrive.

    Shakira's bleating, biting voice is in fine form, and it gives the material an electric urgency.

    Shakira, of course, is unmistakable. But the coup is that each track is absolutely distinctive, even on several songs with no clear-cut choruses or hooks.
