Everything about her just screams ICONIC. But I feel like despite her impressive stats and huge impact she's still very underrated. It honestly baffles me how some people put her in the same category as someone like Jlo So what do you think? Is the queen of Latin pop underrated? I'll tell you why Shakira is underrated because her music currently sucks, ever since she began working with producers like Timbaland and producing crappy uninspired crap. Her last album she did a better job at getting back to her roots and then she puts out a regetton song Chantaje. She again sold out.

Shakira and Wyclef sampled Wyclef's song "Dance Like This", which sampled another song you linked. A sample within a sample went by and in reality they should have handled it better, but since Wyclef got a legal sample they assumed that he could then sample his own sample for the new track. Meanwhile we have a chic in the industry who had Puff Daddy do everything for her and take songs from artists (mainly Ashanti) because they really wanted her to break out. Or, perhaps, the infamous Mariah scandal. Just take a look : But anyway... Lady Gaga | Shakira Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was busy making $12 Million per movie while her side project albums were being made. If anything JLo knew nothing of what was going on while Shakira knew what she was doing with Hips Don't Lie. Shakira is listed as the main writer and main producer. JLo has always used music to be an entertainer. Like Hollywood stars in the 50's did. Music was never JLo's bread and butter.

Shakira and Wyclef sampled Wyclef's old track and because it was his track, they thought that they would be allowed to use it in the song since it was his sample. So what if she makes movies? Does that excuse her being a puppet in the music industry? She really didn't know that Ashanti's vocals were in her songs? Did she really have so little involvement in her projects? Many other artists have multiple things going on as well and you don't see them put out entire stolen songs and melodies Lady Gaga | Shakira Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this is a fairly common thing in the music industry, less famous/to be artists get their songs "stolen" for the bigger acts (see Lina Morgana/Lady Gaga) Spoiler JK you can't really blame JLo for that, she doesn't seem to be that involved in her music at least not back then and as that girl said Puff Daddy was the one who came for that song not JLo, so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey 3,017 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 She isn't underrated, she just doesn't promote as much in English speaking countries.

I see her as a bit of a sell out ever since She Wolf. I really feel like she lost her spark. Her music has been sounding less and less authentic for years now and Chantaje is just embarassing when compared to magnitude of her pre-She Wolf work in Spanish or English... Even my uncle who was big Shakira fan in his teens agrees that she sold out just to fit the music market and sounds like everyone else. He even pointed out that it's like she is trying to sound more commercial 'cause she is not using that weird - read awesomely unique - vibrato she did when she was brand new to the industry, like up to Oral Fixation I think. Shw Wolf was a mess as an album (tho She Wolf abd Did It Again are gems). And Shakira was also a mess. Strange enough, between those two is Sale El Sol, BY FAR her best album I'll mop you all across the floor, snatch your fυckιng weave out Βitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaMonster 1,806 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Interestingly, she used to be super popular in Turkey back in early 2000s when she was more of spanish(as in language) singer than an english one. When I was like I thought Sharika was turkish when I saw her music videos on TV because she belly danced, plus this popular turkish singer of that time called Nez gave same kind of vibes Like these two videos used to give me the same vibe: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
