ADORE her, she's released so many singles and I really do want her to return, come back! :( In the latin world, she's definitely one of the top divas... and I was amazed in 2001 hearing she was attempting to cross over, and BOOM... "Laundry Service" became massive.

My favorite song by her is easily "Ojos Asi". The english version "Eyes Like Yours" is poor though. :(

None. Don't like her. Better than J-Lo, though.

Most of us won't even know what two thirds of those songs ARE.

And "Eyes Like Yours" is bloody marvellous, didn't know that was the Spanish version that you voted for, would've gone for that otherwise (even though I've not heard it but I presume the tune is the same)

Went for "Poem To A Horse" anyway. Lovely ballad, much better than the dire "Underneath Your Clothes".

Underneath Your Clothes was a grower...didn't really think much of the the other 2 singles

Watch the video here - http://weekvids.free.fr/dell_-_ojos_asi.rm Eyes Like Yours is good, but NOTHING compared to the original. It was on her original latin album which was massive in 1999 called "Donde Estan Los Landrones?"(Where are the villains?). I love the Arabian theme in this video, seeing as part of her is from Lebanon.

This song was released in a few European countries such as Belgiam & France after Objection [Tango].

Objection! The video is also amazing. It is criminal that it did so badly in comparison to he first 2 singles! :evil:

"Ready For The Good Times" should have been released. 80s-sounding cheese-pop heaven that one :evil:

Underneath Your Clothes. The acoustic version is one of my favourite performances by an artist.

Has to be WW, but Objection is equally good.

The two standouts are undoubtedly Ojos Asi and Whenever Wherever, but in the end the latter is for me in my noughties top 5!

I love Shakira & hope she's back soon. It was hard to chose just one song as the whole laundry service album is class. Went for Ojos asi tho, she looks stunning with red hair & the way she dances is amazing. I first saw the Ojos asi vid on a German music channel called Viva about 2 years before she releases WW. I have to say I was dazzled from the very first start:o anyway, here's my shakira top 10.

1. Eyes like yours
2. Poeme to a horse
3. Te Dejo Madrid
4. Que Me Quedes Tu
5. Whenever Wherever
6. Objection (tango)
7. The one
8. Fool
9. Ready For The Good Times
10 Rules
