Fijacion Oral Vol. 1 by Shakira

Pros: Passionate, intensely musical, emotional, varied, a little bit nuts, but beautiful.

Cons: After this album and the Spanish class described herein, I still can't speak the language.

The Bottom Line: Fantastique. Read the review, lazy.

Review: For a brief time in the summer of 2005, I fell briefly but hopelessly in love with a woman whose already-shaky marriage I longed desperately to wreck. This could be, I realize, a dangerous thing to admit, especially coming off of a day devoted to all ...

Pros: Awesome melding of wildly disparate influences and sounds

Cons: N/A .... to the MAX

The Bottom Line: Unlike anything she's done before, Shakira evolves to show yet another sparkling facet to her amazing talent.

Review: Shakira's fans have been waiting a long time to see how she'd follow up on her multi-platinum Laundry Service hit engine, and now we know. The wait is over. Shakira's new album, Fijacion Oral Vol. 1 showed up in record stores ...

Pros: great songs, diverse music, Shakira's vocals

Cons: If you like knowing what lyrics mean and don't speak Spanish

The Bottom Line: Shakira's album is fantastic and she really shows why she is a star. Definitely worth a listen.

Review: When Shakira first really took the United States by storm, I didn't get the fascination. Sure she could do unbelievable things with her hips, she was gorgeous and sexy but a lot of the time I thought she sounded like a bleating goat. For some reason ...

Pros: Shakira's powerful voice, The diversity, "No" and "Las De La Intuicion"

Cons: The last two tracks are almost useless but tend to defend their place

The Bottom Line: FIJACION ORAL is Shakira's best album so far in her career

Pros: Variety

Cons: No cons!

Review: This CD combines many different styles of music. Shakira does it again! She always seems to amaze me with what she can do. This cd is not just one type of music, so everyone is bound to find at least one song on here that they will ...

Pros: A variety of sounds and rhythms that show the true essence of Shakira

Cons: Hard if not impossible to find any defect on the Cd

Review: Yet again another of her greatest works, Fijacion Oral vol.1 includes the base of her heritage, the latin essence and mundane sounds she grew up hearing. The songs include different sounds, and they go from the smash single La Tortura to the beautiful ...

Pros: Over all an awesome cd. Very well written.

Cons: It's all in spanish, some German and French. Not really a con.

The Bottom Line: Go get it and see for yourself

Review: Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll was born in Columbia on February 2nd of 1977. I have been listening to her since her release of her 3rd studio album, PIES DESCALZOS (Bare Feet), back in 1995. This is the album that skyrocketed her carrier as a Latin ...

Pros: Nothing special

Cons: I don't like Shakira's voice
