Many people have different answers to why they like Shakira.

First of all, let me start by saying that Hips Don't Lie has only been number one on Billboard for two weeks, not six.

Also, Alejandro Sanz was featured in La Tortura, however, Wyclef Jean was featured in Hips Don't Lie.

Okay, now let me get to the point.

The reason why people like Shakira is because she is not your typical Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera. Her songs are from every range in pop, and she tries anything that comes to her mind. Hips Don't Lie for example, was made after the release of Oral Fixation because she met Wyclef and they made a song. Randomely. Her song is just danceable, and well, she knows how to dance--plus, she trained herself.

Additionally, she has a foundation that helps over three million Colombians in her country. For example, she bought Reebok shoes to all the kids in Colombia due to the name of her foundation Pies Descalzos--or Barefeet in English. She is a true humanitarian and that has helped increase your fame.

I hope I got the point across.

I didn't like her voice at first either. But give her a chance. Try to figure out the lyrics, if you can. I speak Spanish, and I can tell you they're great (her work has in fact won the praise and friendship of a Nobel prize winner).

Ultimately, how Shakira is portrayed and marketed in the U.S. is staggeringly different from in other countries. Her the record execs try to sell her as a sexpot. Go read some journalist's impressions that have interviewed her. She's a very fascinating and intelligent person.

Of course, none of that means she is going to automatically have good music. She just happens to be an excellent multi-talented musician. I think many dismiss her as a shallow puppet with two hit songs, but do some research below the surface and you'll be very surprised. I was. :-)

Just because your jealous that your Brithey or Christina can't even match or go near matching her, don't ***** about Shakira.

When did Rory Emerald officially dump Shakira? I like Shakira, but don't you think she talks about Rory Emerald way too much?

At first at some of her songs, she kinda sounds like a guy, but she's very good.
