Miriam Faris Rejects Comparisons With Shakira

Miriam Faris doesn't agree with people who compare her to Shakira. Shakira has Lebanese heritage on her mother's side of the family. This fact accounts for the superficial similarities between the Colombian superstar and Miriam Faris, who is celebrated in the Arab world but is largely unknown in the rest of the world. Shakira's Lebanese grandmother taught her to dance, so you can expect to see some similarities in the moves that these two young women make as well. I find this story especially interesting because Shakira has been fairly irritable in the past about being compared and/or confused with people like Britney Spears. I don't think it is happening much these days now that Britney is being mistaken for Courtney Love.
