Free Music Notes for Laundry Service: Washed & Dried [Limited Edition w/ Bonus DVD]Free Music Review: SHAKIRA Is INCREDIBLY IRRESISTABLE! Hit: 5 Stars
After getting caught up in the mind boggling musical wave and aftermath of Ricky Martin's landmark performance on that Grammys telecast a few seasons back, and eventually feeling so let down by his lackluster repetitive subsequent releases, I wrote off all the up & coming Latin artists because too many of them began to sound like the generic sounds coming out of Nashville/Hollywood. But, SHAKIRA IS INCREDIBLY TALENTED AND AN ORIGINAL and, there is an intense undeniable excitement in SHAKIRA's music! I bought the original version of this cd a year after its release and fell in love with her gorgeous voice, as well as her richly gifted intelligent sense of melodic and prolific writing. I just had to have this stunning updated package as well. SHAKIRA's exceptionally gifted ARTISTRY also possesses one of the most alluring voices that so very few singers are blessed with. To say she sounds like any other artist or combination of, would be too foolish, as she is one of those RARE female VOCALISTS who defy categorizing and she stands humbly tall amongst the best female vocalists of the past & present, easily eclipsing some. I cannot wait to see what she does on her next English cd-album, I am convinced she will out do and surpass herself next time out. Thank GOD my Mom taught me Spanish...music is much more romantically exciting in Espanol! Last time I listened to Latin artists, was too long ago: Silvana Di Lorenzo; Napoleon; Miguel Gallardo;etc. Thank you SHAKIRA for restoring my faith! Highly recommended: SHAKIRA "Grandes Exitos" (Greatest Hits)2002 Cd which leads up to and includes two hit singles from "Laundry Service".

Free Music Review: New version of Laundry Service with DVD. Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this cd because I really love Shakira and her voice. She is clearly very influenced by not only her Latin roots but her love for rock music especially punk and new wave. She just shows so much talent for her lyric writing and her voice is not your typical one- to me a cross between Grace Jones and Siouxsie. The hits are here with "Whenever,Wherever " ,"Underneath Your Clothes" and "Objection (Tango)" the main attraction. But the best songs are the non hits like the Hedwig like ballad "The One" ,"Fool" and "Rules"--- future hits. Dance numbers like "Ready For The Good Times" and "Eyes Like Yours" really show off her clubbier side. You get Spanish versions of "Whenever Wherever" and "Objection" plus new mixes of them too. The Afro Punk Version of "Objection(Tango)" which is similar to the one she performed on the MTV Video Awards really is better than the B-52's influenced original version. The Acoustic version of "Underneath Your Clothes" I think she also performed on Top Of The Pops. Plus the 2nd disc is a DVD of her performance from the MTV Video Awards as well as MTV's Making the Video and full video of "Objection(Tango)" that showcase her sense of humor and beauty very well. The music on here hopefully will show the US what the rest of the Spanish speaking countries already knew: Shakira rocks.
Free Music Review: Wonderful Hit: 5 Stars
What a great cd and I am very proud of Shakira for going and getting this cd out. It was worth the wait to buy it. My favorite tracks are track 1 Objection- When I saw the video that's when I knew I had to get the cd. No more waiting to get this cd. Track 4 Rules- Cute car song I think or in you are in love with someone play it for them because it a boyfriend/girlfriend type of song. Track 5 The one- The last single off of this cd and just an all around great love song for eveyone. In love or not! Track 6 Ready For The Good Time- It remindes me of one of the spice girls track Never Give Up On the good Times. It's has that 70's feel to it if you know what I mean. Track 7 Fools- It kinda like track 4 but track for is saying I'm got the relationship in my hands and I'll change them when I'm ready. This track is saying that you are a fool for the person you are in love with and will follow them everywhere. Track 9 Poem To A Horse- The title has nothing to do with the song if you ask me. It a really great song and I play it every chance I get. Track 13 Te Aviso, Te Anuncio (Tango)- This is the spanish version of Objection. Since I love spanish music I just click with this song and Suerte (Whenever, Wherever). It took me a while to sing the song but after a while I knew how to sing it. Tracks 14-16 Kick butt!
Free Music Review: Shakira Is Awesome ! Hit: 5 Stars
A while ago, I turned on my t.v. to one of the music channels, and I saw a video called "Whenever, Wherever" by an artist called Shakira. I thought to myself, "This is just another Britney Spears type artist" and changed the channel. When the next video, "Underneath Your Clothes" came out, I started to take a little bit notice of this artist. Then, when the 2 other videos came out, I started to really like the music and became a fan. I thought to myself, "If this artist has 4 hit singles, then her album must be full of great songs. I was looking around in one of my local music stores, and I found a new reissue of the Laundry Service c.d. with extra tracks and a bonus DVD for only a few dollars more, so I bought it, and I have to say this: Shakira is awesome. Very rarely these days will you find an artist who writes her own songs, plays an instrument, and produces and arranges her own tracks. And the songs are hits as well. The album is so diverse in musical style. There is rock, latin, punk, pop, and ballad music styles on this album. I just love it ! The DVD is great, too. A performance of Objection (Tango), the making of the video, and the video. Very cool to watch. I cannot wait until Shakira comes out with her follow-up album. I will surely purchase it as well.
