Shakira’s inspiring story

Isabel Mebarak Rippoll, as a second-grader, dreamt of singing among the choir at the prim and proper Maria the Teacher Catholic School. But the director thought she had a strong voice compared to the other syrupy cadenced singers in the troupe. So she was never chosen to be in the choir. “My voice was strong and I wanted to sing out loud, and he didn’t think I was the right choice for the choir,” recalls the diva. But she continued her dream fetching the best and now you know that Shakira is now a 30-year-old swivel-hipped bombshell, Latin America’s most successful crossover artist. There lies the story that could inspire everyone.

Shakira’s Hips has made people crazy

shakira-fans.jpgShakira’s Hips are already a sensation. I know there is nothing new about it but when fans prove it again and again that they can’t get over the Hips don’t lie effect then it becomes news to report. It was quoted that “Epic Records held a contest offering fans a chance to help create a video for pop diva Shakira’s yodel-tastic single featuring Wyclef Jean. Label executives’ spent $5,000 to create and promote a quickie clip. But the impact sent shock waves through the music industry. The contest yielded 500 submissions of fans lip-syncing and booty-shaking in extremis that were spliced together by a professional editor to create a single video.” And this apparently easily got the Nielsen BDS most-streaming video of the year. Sure the Hips effect will not fade soon.

Shakira plays the goddess

The latest goddess that moved the Pyramids of Giza in Cairo was Shakira with her never lying hips. Apart from the unmatchable moves she surprised the audience with the Arabic song. She chose to start her concert with Fairuz’s song ‘Atini Annay wa Ghanni’ & she also belly danced to the song of the fabulous Um Kulthum ‘Inta Omri’.
