Shakira may be annoying ... (Forum).


I love your article about Shakira. She is nothing but annoying. Anyway, my best friend is bilingual bi·lin·gual

, and on our way to L.A. from Cancun, she read a magazine in Spanish Spanish, river, c.150 mi (240 km) long, issuing from Spanish Lake, S Ont., Canada, NW of Sudbury, and flowing generally S through Biskotasi and Agnew lakes to Lake Huron opposite Manitoulin island. There are several hydroelectric stations on the river.  that had a long article about Shakira: "Shakira, our Latin Colombian pop star, is getting beautiful reviews all over America. American audiences adored a·dore

 this blonde superstar that is getting more attention than J-Lo and Britney wherever she goes."

Is this true? I told my friend that she sold 3 million copies of her album because all the Latino fans that got her Spanish music bought her English CD. Don't take me wrong, but some of them don't even speak English--they bought it to be in solidarity with her. As somebody also said in a music store, when asked why is she buying five CDs, she said "to keep for gifts, because I don't speak English".......

So, that is why she sold 3 million already, there are 45 million Latinos in America and a little of that number bough her CD, but to say that she is adored by the American audiences and that the American audiences made her triple platinum, and that she is better than J-lo and Britney.... I don't think so, somebody should clarify this to Latin America Latin America, the Spanish-speaking, Portuguese-speaking, and French-speaking countries (except Canada) of North America, South America, Central America, and the West Indies. , they are making her bigger than she really is. That is BS, don't you think?

P.S. Ha!! They also said that her lyrics lyrics npl [of song] → paroles fpl

lyrics lyric npl [of song] → Text m 
 are better than anybody else in America!!! Pardon me forgive me; excuse me; - a phrase used also to express courteous denial or contradiction, or to request forgiveness for a mild transgression, such as bumping a person while passing.
