Since seeing her 2004 DVD entitled "Live and Off the Record" I have been an admirer and have had a crush on Shakira. In her DVD not only did she speak for the rights of 3,000,000 children in Colombia who don't attend school, she also gave a great संगीत कार्यक्रम for her प्रशंसकों in Rotterdam. शकीरा doesn't see herself as being above her band, so she actually tours on the same bus with her group and hangs out with the other band members even though she could have her own bus if she wanted one. She also held true to her प्रशंसकों in Colombian and insisted on doing a संगीत कार्यक्रम in Baraquilla, Colombia even though it wouldn't make her any money. Her promoters also warned her about talking about politics in her संगीत कार्यक्रम but she held true to her values and put up a puppet दिखाना of झाड़ी, बुश and Sadam fighting over the world oil supply on the projection screen while she performed on stage. Not only does शकीरा refuse to be censored, she has also held true to her roots (not forgetting where she came from) and she has also stuck up for the rights of people who can't defend themselves (poor children).

Did I mention she is also the most famous hip shaker in संगीत and probably the most beautiful women in the world.

I would very much like to go out on a तारीख, दिनांक with शकीरा and talk to her about how much I appreciate her as a musician, a Latina woman and a leader in human rights.
