The 1st single to be released off this album was Whenever, Wherever which was really big at the time of release and eversince Shakira has had some great songs and 2 more great ...  Read the complete review

It is an unfortunate fact of life for the many thousands of talented latin musicians that, if you want to make it on a worldwide scale, you have to learn to sing in English. This was powerfully illustrated in the late 1990s by Ricky Martin, and in 2001 when Shakira's third studio album - but only her first in the English language - expanded her ...  Read the complete review

LAUNDRY SERVICE is the title of pop singer SHAKIRA's album. The album consists of 13 tracks which I will review. The opening song OBJECTION sets the latino feel instantly with it's sexy melodies and her husky voice bringing energy to the music. UNDERNEATH YOUR CLOTHES is another powerfully sensual song with a sexy rhythm ...  Read the complete review

I was quite a fan of Shakira after Whenever, Wherever and pretty much bought this album on the strength of that song. Back in my teenage years, it was quite common for me to do this, whereas now I will have to already know that I will like at least three or four tracks from an album before I can be convinced to part with my money. Whenever, ...  Read the complete review

After four successful Spanish language albums, including an MTV Unplugged session, had made Shakira one of the best known and highest selling artists in Latin America, as well as a three time Latin Grammy Award winner, she decided it was time to try and break into the English speaking musical market. This resulted in a teaming up with Emilio ...  Read the complete review

Yes, Shakira?s debut album may be some months old now, but it is still one of the successes of the last two years, and still selling well. Proof of this is the fact that theediscerning?s copy went within hours on amazon?s marketplace. So at risk of losing mucho street cred by posting this op, he may as well reveal what he was passing on so ...  Read the complete review

You know you're destined to hit it big, or at least medium-sized, when you decide to go by your first name only in showbiz - look at Cher, look at Madonna and Brandy and Jewel, even Dido to some extent. Look to the left, and you will see Shakira, the latest in not only the first-name fad (she decided to shed the other ¾ for her ...  Read the complete review

Dónde Están Los Ladrones? (Where are the Thieves?) Today I sat on my balcony in the sun singing along with her. The power and feeling was there on my balcony in the sun. I felt her next to me, both feeling rejected and angry. I felt her closer to me on my balcony without her being present than she ever could have given me during the ...  Read the complete review

A friend introduced me to Shakira's music around 4 years ago after finding Latin artists such as Gloria Estefan and Elvis Crespo lurking amongst my CD collection and told me then that one day this girl would be a huge international star if she ever released an English language album. With multi-platinum music sales across Latin America and ...  Read the complete review

I want to start off by saying that this is a review of Shakira in general, not meerly a review of Laundry Service. The talented Colombian artist known as Shakira, who was born to a Lebanese father, and a Colombian mother in the nation of Colombia, wrote her first song at the age of 8. Shakira is one of the most talented musicians of ...  Read the complete review

THIS IS A REVIEW ON SHAKIRA IN GENERAL- NOT "LAUNDRY SERVICE". I APOLOGISE FOR PLACING IT IN THE WRONG SECTION BUT THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE FOR IT TO GO! Although she maybe new to us in England, Shakira's been well known in many parts of the world for years! Shakira Isabel Mebarak was born in the Colombian city of ...  Read the complete review

This is the debut English language album from bleached, big haired Colombian singer, writer, producer Shakira, who is already a massive star in America. Apparently Tom Cruise and children like listening to her loudmouthed albums. She’s beautiful, talented, very intelligent, dates the son of the former Argentine president, and as we speak is ...  Read the complete review

Shakria what can I say. I knew of her before she came to England, my boyfriend told me that here hit single in the uk “whatever, whenever” was very good so coming back home I bought the CD what a waste of money! I would rather listen to someone drag there nails down a black board. I heard on the radio that her singing teacher said she ...  Read the complete review

Shakira was Colombia's equivalent to Alanis Morrisette. However on her third proper album "Laundry Service", she's crossed over and become more like a stronger version of Christina or Britney (especially with that blonde hair). Shakira's previous album ("Dónde Están Los Ladrones) was 10X better due to the fact ...  Read the complete review

Believe me, I want to hate Shakira ("woman full of grace") for being so beautiful, slim and successful (I take comfort in the old pictures of her!). It's just that there's something endearing about her lyrics. If I had to describe her style I'd say she was a kooky mic of Alanis Morissette, Gwen Stefani (No Doubt) and Gloria ...  Read the complete review

Shakira is a young singer from South America, she has been singing since a very young age but has only started releasing singles worldwide recently, she impressed everyone with her worldwide debut 'Whenever Wherever' but it isn't a debut for her just the world. Her style of music is a mixture of everything, native really and maybe ...  Read the complete review

Wow - I love this girl. She's a great refresher to the music industry. A touch of cheesy pop mixed with a touch of "je ne sais quoi". The Latino sensation has already hit it big state side with massive album sales and having hte album myself, i can see why. It's one of those albums that you can put on and let play ...  Read the complete review
