Great Interview Of Shakira

When I was a kid, I had a phase of immersing myself in the interviews in 'The Rolling Stone' and 'Spin'. I found this Shakira interview by a UK journalist to be reminiscent of those pieces. I think the trick of the author is to first establish the fact that they adore their subject in order to make the objectivity of the interview seem like a Herculean task.

Shakira Drinks Too Much Coffee

"In Colombia, from the time you can grab a cup, you start having coffee. They put it in the baby bottle sometimes. So sometimes it doesn't do anything to me. At four in the morning, if I want to keep working in the studio, I have to to drink 20 cups to keep myself awake," Ratethemusic quoted Shakira as saying.

Shakira fans, please don't try this at home. Drinking more than 3 cups a day is bad for your health. And make sure it's FAIR TRADE coffee

Critic Enjoys Shakira Album, And Then Calls It Bland

Some critics are accusing Shakira of pulling her punches with her latest album.

Usually, Shakira errs on the side of caution, and the results are bloodless ballads like ''Your Embrace," although there's a certain amusement to be found in such odd lines as ''Tell me what's the use/ Of a 24-inch waist/ If you don't touch me?"

These critics miss the point that her two albums are a combined concept, if something seems to be missing to them, maybe what they are expecting is on 'Fijación Oral Vol. 1'

Shakira Is Shy

No, really she is. This is what she has to say on the subject:

When they watch my videos, people might think that I'm very sexually aggressive person, but I am completely the opposite. I'm very shy of my body. The most I can show is my belly. I admire people who can do nudes for the love of art. I can't. And I wear enough to cover what my mother wishes I cover."

Shakira's Grandmother Taught Her How to Shake It

Colombian born Shakira learned her distinctive hip-shaking belly-dance moves from her Lebanese grandmother. Thank you so much grandma. It's interesting to note that in much of the Arab world, belly dancing was traditionally an entertainment exclusively for the enjoyment of other women. I think Shakira is really exploiting the traditional dance, and I don't care.
