How is she not repeaking? Who was the last woman over 40 doing this on the same era? Madonna with Music and Don’t Tell Me? And Shakira is doing this with Spanish songs lmao. This is history happening right now. Imagine trying to downplay this

She did it in a more racist time and without social media. Thank you for this, so true. Not because she’s my fave and all, but like Tina, Whitney, Aretha she is a special kind of artist. Discriminated against, her own record label wanted to just keep her on the back seat and sing salsa and merengue. Like Selena Q and Gloria she fought for recognition in a male Dominated world. If she says NO then is no. Is her way or no way, even if we get mediocre releases, but she does whatever she wants. glad she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves from REAL music experts.

This is history happening right now. Imagine trying to downplay this Celine Dion with her French Music has had even more longevity. Shakira just happens to be fortunate that an entire continent has Spanish as their first language as well as most of North America (plus Spain). Very impressive, yes but it's much more difficult to do it as an English act.
Rey Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 She just needs the right songs. I honestly never expected her to peak in the Top 10, let alone twice. Happy to have her back in the spotlight.

To “re-peak” means to surpass your previous peak, and Shakira is not as big as she was when she released Whenever Wherever and Hips Don’t Lie because she dominated every market back then, while now her success is concentrated more in the U.S, Latin America and a few European countries. That said, her longevity is extremely impressive, especially when you compare how her peers like Enrique, Ricky, Thalia, etc are doing. Very well said

Like AT ALL. Imagine comparing Ricky Martin and Thalia with Shakira LMFAO...

I said they are her peers, as they started out around the same time as her and there was a time in the 90s when Ricky and Enrique were bigger than her, yet she surpassed them and is the only one who’s still relevant today, thus outlasting them.

No they were never bigger than her. Thats like comparing Bad Gyal with Karol G just because they started around the same time. Are you a gringo? Edited March 4, 2023 by Rosenda
eleganceislearned Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 Not surprised - the new song is good, gp are invested in her personal life, and she is perpetually youthful looking.

And umm that’s what a peer is, someone who started their career around the same time as them. Beyonce, Shakira and Britney are considered to be peers when they’re all completely different. I already said Shakira is much bigger than Enrique, Ricky, etc and outlasted them, so I’m not sure what the **** your problem is, but this will be the last time I respond to you.

XAMJ Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 so she commits tax fraud and avoids jail, and gets a comeback... this world is sick
Julianna Calm Down Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 Talent, looks and capitalising on your husband being a cheathurr always win in the end.
brenda-walsh Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 both songs were collabs with younger, more "in" artists i'm interested to see how an album/ tour would do

I know what it means dumbass, you are downplaying her impressive success by lumping her with those one hit wonders just because shes latina, if you compared her with Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera (her PeErs too!) I would agree with your post Please do not respond! Go choke on a dick

peacok Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 I mean she hasn't really had a flop era since Peligro, so no, I'm not surprised
