Shakira sizzles in new photoshoot

[Shaki-boy]

London, January 31 : Shakira has posed for a new sexy photo shoot.

The singer has been snapped wearing a skimpy outfit with PVC boots to match.

“Shakira has a breathtaking body and these photos show off every curve perfectly. She oozes raw sex appeal," the News of the World quoted a source as saying.

Meanwhile, she is also shooting a video for her new single ‘Gypsy.’

The video will release in April.


hmmm
why am i not happy to hear that?

Wow. April is a long way off. But I'm sure some material from the next album will come out before then. Remember how she did with the last 2 albums?

that's the only thing she does lately...sexy photoshoots. April? Well...the spanish album is taking too long.

I feel the same way...I think she's going too far with this new image...Image is not everything. I mean that's why I felt in love with Shaki, because she used to be so simple and so gorgeous at the same time, so natural and so artistic, she was defined by her music and her lyrics not by a sexy image. I know that sex and sexiness sell and I'm not against it, but Shakira used to be so unique and she had her own style, like Gabriel Garcia Marquez said. Now it seems that she does music only for money. Sell, sell , sell...don't forget about your true fans, Shak...we want to see YOU

She Wolf got one message - is so good to cheat and have sex and going wild (except Mon Amour and Gypsy - my favorite songs). I hope that the Spanish one would be more deeper and meaningful. We all know Shaki can do much better. It's not as if I don't like She Wolf, but it's not what I love at Shakira and I don't imagine myself listening to it 10 years from now, as I listen Donde estan los ladrones even it was released 12 years ago.

well said! "i feel more like a woman" doesn't mean i show more skin in my photoshoots. It's nice to be sexy but in my opinion, in her latest photoshoots she goes beyond sexy. She promotes an image not music. I loved the artist in her....now she looks like every popstar out there. I wish the spanish album reflects the real Shakira.

Absolutely agree, if you say you miss the real Shaki. The LN deal was a huge commercial success for her. Difficult to say whether her change was the reason for signing the contract or whether the contract is the reason of her change. Difficult to decide what is driven by her and what by external circumstances. No matter. She decided to go this way and a person with her intellectual skills is able to estimate the consequences. We are witnesses of the process of her total commercialization. It's not just a new image. We can observe a subtile strategy. Her manner of presenting herself differs noticeably between America and Europe. She adjusts her image to fulfill the alleged requirements of the respective local markets. And her real personality is faded out. She plays with taboos to catch attention. LN establishes a fee-based fan club to get the last bucks of the pocket money of 12 yo kids. Soon we'll be blessed with a perfume. And I would be not amazed if they announce a fashion label. This all serves sadly one aim - to earn as much as possible.

I understand that Shaki want to be so successful in US as in Europe or South America. Maybe this is more difficult for her because Latins have sometimes to struggle with prejudices and discrimination in US. But the sales of SW aren't so poor because it is a weak album. No, it is a good album but not really distinguishable from the current top sellers. And this is the reason for the disappointment. I distinguish between three kinds of music. At first music that annoys me. Then pretty good music that I like for a while. But it is nothing for the next years and therefore I'm not willing to pay for it. And at last the music I unconditionally like. SW belongs into the second category and I bought it only because it was made by Shaki.

I don't like the smoothed and optimized image of her. This is only a fake without soul. I miss the real Shaki. I mean the imperfect and human person who does what she likes. The artist who makes an artistic decision without listening to the guys with a master degree in business economics. This was always the secret of her success. And her deep humanity and honesty brought her closer to her fans.

If you want to get all, you probably get nothing.

What if this new liberation of her sexuality IS her? What then? Will you stop liking her?

I think that as you get older, you're more secure with yourself. You're not as worried what others think. You are more flexible about things because you find that your opinion is the only one that matters.

So she wears tights and stillettos? Doesn't make her, or anyone, less of a person.
And we can go back to when she first went blonde. Everyone made a big stink about that. They hated that she had her belly showing all the time. It was such a big issue.

Shakira is a different woman than she was at 18. And she's going to be a different woman at 40 than she is now. We all grow end evolve.

Seriously.

Get over it. Because even when you listen to the songs on Shewolf, it's still that awkward, methaphorical Shaki we've been listening to all these years.

Let her take some sexy photos. She's a grown woman. She's not running around without draws (panties) and she's not serving her mother with a restraining order. What the heck do you want from her? Blood???

[shakirarumania]

Asia, I agree with you. In fact, if you wear stilletos doesn't mean you are not smart or something like that.
BUT what I'm saying is...LOOK BEYOND HER IMAGE. Underneath this image of a grown up woman, it is the sad story of an artist who lost its originality. I mean, it's not just Shaki who is concious about her sexuality. It's a trend! If I learned something until now in my life, is that you should look beyond the things . Things are not just simple as it seem. If you believe whatever you see on magazines or TV, you can easily fool yourself (don't take it the wrong way). Maybe it sounds too radically or tragic what I just said but...this can't be said or view, you must feel it. And I use to felt the artist in Shaki before SW. Now I can't feel it anymore. Even if I felt it again while performing I'll stand by you and Solo le pido a Dios.
I'm not judging Shaki, as you see, I still love her with or without leotards. But I don't know..something changed....and I'm still asking myself...WHY THIS CHANGE WHEN IT WAS SO GOOD AS IT WAS ?!?!? People can totally change when something goes wrong, but Shaki was just perfect. She canged her image constantly since Pies Descalzos , but esentially she used to be the same, she was just reinventing. Now I don't know..
