History Music / Shakira

* CallBack: The infamous lines of ''Whenever, Wherever'' - "[[PetitePride Lucky for my breasts they're small and humble]]/ So you don't confuse them with mountains" - is somewhat revoked in ''Costume Makes The Clown'' with the ''very first lines''; "Told you I felt lucky with my humble breasts/ Well I don't".

* CallBack:

* MeaningfulEcho: In ''Inevitable'' she sings "no entiendo de fútbol" - I don't understand football - as she's confessing at the beginning. In ''Don't Bother'' she says near the "For you, I'd give up all I own, and move to a communist country... and learn about football. [[TearJerker If it would make you stay.]]"

* LyricalDissonance - More than one of her songs sounds happy and upbeat. Then you get to read the lyrics...

** The first two lines of'' 'Costume Makes The Clown' ''([[spoiler:Told you I felt lucky with my humble breasts/ Well I don't]]) also begs to differ with the 'pride' part.

** That page image disagrees with the "petite" part, though

When she was 8, [[FallenPrincess her father became bankrupted]]. She was sent to relatives in UsefulNotes/LosAngeles. She got to return to Barranquilla, but she was shocked to find that a lot of her parents’ belongings had been sold. To show her that things could be worse, her father took her to a local park where orphans were sniffing glue. The images stayed with her and she said to herself, "One day I’m going to help these kids when I become a famous artist."

** It's also the main reason for the song "Ojos Así"
* AnimatedMusicVideo – A portion of the music video for "Objection (Tango)".

* BellyDancer - See the videos for "Ojos Así" and "Hips don't lie".

* DanceBattler: In the Did It Again video, she and her partner fight in bed capoeira-style.

* LostInTranslation: even after she became more used to the english language, there is no denying that the spanish versions of her songs are usually more poetic and original, and rhyme much better. Compare a direct translation of the song "Lo Hecho esta Hecho" ("What has been done has already been donde" is the closest translation in meaning)

** ...to the corresponding part of the english version of the song "Did It Again",
--> You were like one of those guys / The kind with a wandering eye (Hey!) / But I said, "hey what the hell? once in my life i'll take a ride on the wild side

When she was 8, [[FallenPrincess her father became bankrupted]]. She was sent to relatives in LosAngeles. She got to return to Barranquilla, but she was shocked to find that a lot of her parents’ belongings had been sold. To show her that things could be worse, her father took her to a local park where orphans were sniffing glue. The images stayed with her and she said to herself, "One day I’m going to help these kids when I become a famous artist."

She got to record two albums in her teenage years: ''Magia'' (English: ''Magic'') and ''Peligro'' (English: ''Danger''). These albums were commercial failures, and soon became victims of CanonDiscontinuity.

--> It was that spice in your skin/ Of sulfur mixed with honey /So I filled myself with courage and went for a walk on the wild side

* PetitePride - She's small chested and likes it very much.

** Possibly the only person in history to dance with {{Beyonce}} (in the video for their duet "Beautiful Liar") and ''not'' get upstaged.

* ZettaiRyouiki - in the video for her song "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU_jy-Uk41I Las de la intuiciòn]]".

Things are looking big for Shakira. ''Hips Don’t Lie'', a collab with Wyclef Jean, became one of the world's best-selling singles of all time. Recent songs "She Wolf" and "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" prove that she is still one of the biggest stars in the world right now.

* KnifeThrowingAct – She appeared standing against a target with knives around her in a photo in the April 2002 issue of [=FHM=] magazine (UK edition).

She is also a philanthropist. Shakira founded the Pies Descalzos Foundation. It is a Colombian charity with special schools for poor children all around Colombia. She stayed true to her promise to the glue-sniffing orphans after all.

Let’s not forget her philanthropy! Shakira founded the Pies Descalzos Foundation. It is a Colombian charity with special schools for poor children all around Colombia. She stayed true to her promise to the glue-sniffing orphans after all.

* FreudWasRight - The video for "She Wolf" features her going into her closet, to enter some sort of... pink, slightly-fleshy looking tunnel-like room, which she then dances around in. Subtle.

* PunchPunchPunchUhOh - Happens to the sleazy ex-boyfriend in the video for "Objection (Tango)".
* SampledUp - "Hips Don't Lie" from Jerry Rivera's "Amores como el nuestro". They're different genres and markets, so most people not knowing the original may be due to that.
** Said song is actually a remake of a Wyclef Jean song called "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xE8poWlOdk Dance Like This]]", which sampled "Amores como el nuestro".

** This troper was introduced to She Wolf today. There cannot be any other purpose to that video.
** This troper is pretty sure there's a reason Shakira has a song named "Hips Don't Lie".

* BabyGotBack: Oh my goodness gracious yes.

* DisContinuity - For some of her Latin American fans, ''¿Dónde Están los Ladrones?'' was {{Shakira}}'s last work.
** Even some of her English-speaking fans prefer to think of her solely as an incredible Colombian artist, denying the existence of ''Laundry Service'' (citing the narmy lyrics resulting from [[LostInTranslation bizarre forced-rhyme]]), and question the [[UnnecessaryMakeover peroxide job]] in her foray into the English language market.
