there are no better hips
Her songs in spanish are a LOT better.
She’s one of the best artists there are market right know. She is not only sexy, but she has an amzing talent at singing and dancing. She is without a doubt the best Latin American singer and one of the best Singers overall.
Can’t say I’m such a fan of her songs, but fuck she’s a good dancer.
As MissRikku said, Kai… her Spanish songs are much better. She has a weird throat thing when she sings in English. If you mildly understand Spanish, or even if you don’t, listen to “Objection” in Spanish and English and you’ll see what I’m saying.
She is the best!! she's beautiful, she's smart, knows to move, knows to sing , she's very tallented… she's THE BEST!!
i appreciate belly dancing bec of shakira! her moves are amazing
she rocks!
Yes nice rocks but she seem so up herself – i fear she believes in her own publicity
Shakira is confident, but by no means as narcissistic as the celebs you tend to like, Saddam. And she has a lot more going for her. She has a genius IQ and does a lot of charity work.
WHO DO I TEND TO LIKE?
Well, it seems that you like porn stars/lingerie models for the most part, but here are a few examples of pretty and unintelligent women you like: Beyonce Knowles, Kim Kardashian, Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt, Kendra Wilkinson, The Olsen Twins, Jessica Alba, Drew Barrymore...
Not to mention the fact that you like underage girls or basically anything with a vagina.
Not entirely true - some of these people i have never heard of - just liked the picture
Beyonce Knowles and Shakira are good looking but i think they believe their own publicity a little too much,
Kim Kardashian, Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt, Kendra Wilkinson, Never heard of them but pics are good
The Olsen Twins, I bested these because of the chat not the people same as Britney and Paris and that other scanky girl with ginger hair
Jessica Alba, True!
Drew Barrymore... No, I bested her because of her funny Jaw!
I do however like Kylie and Hayden and Kari and I bested them too
You are right I do like uninteligent girls - I like you ..hehehe

Wish MY hips could move like hers! XP
Wow what a voice,
Almost as good as her curves,
Wow what a voice,
