Yeah I know what you mean, I think it's because really, people are open to her smashing the world, but they want quality from her, if she released 2-4 singles with really good quality she would be on the top! People in Denmark love that she looks so naturally beautiful, it's just the sexy videos they can't take kinda. Atleast not the ones that buy CDs, maybe the ones that buy her singles on iTunes. It's sad

That Medusa hairstyle she rocked at The Grammy's in 2005 was a mess, IMO. |
THIS is what I want from her  just blonder hair, then I am happy with her look! + it would be nice if she wore some more ethnic clothes at times, like those brown pants that look a bit muddy and the ethnic belt and a leather bra  She should make herself look a bit eccentric and mysterious!

She Wolf, she decided to do something different musically.... However, almost half of her fan-base hated it, not quite sure why. Critically and with her fans, she redeemed herself with "Sale El Sol which in my opinion is definitely better in quality, IMO.

She definitely looks eccentric to me in the Sale El Sol tour with her looks. Like this:
This is very ethnic

She did, but the problem was that Sale el Sol was in spanish, and even though it's my second favourite album of hers next to LS, not many others in Denmark care for spanish records at all! So really she redeemed herself in a language we don't understand here. That is the problem, so I'm really looking forward to seeing if that mysterious article about VenusX (who?!) is true, because if Shaki is making a weird ethnic dance record IN ENGLISH, there is NO WAY she is gonna miss this time. She will hit the charts worldwide with her whole album and blow people away. And I so so so hope she can atleast settle and make her look half decent this time and put more effort in the videos and NEVER use Jaume again, or maybe first on the 4th single or something

I'm glad she continues to grow musically and isn't afraid to try and do something different! I'm excited she's going to do more African beats/style.

I LOVED this  Especially when she then throws it off and breaks into Why Wait.. reminds me of a game I played called Bayonetta, which is a Japanese game that is also VERY eccentric. I love weird twists like that, that really set her apart from the rest, it would have been even more genious had it been a nun dress tho'! but I'm more happy with the ethnic pink one..
The SES tour is the best Shaki tour ever in my opinion! THAT she did do right this time Which proves to me that she knows what we want, and that it is the same as what she wants. She just maybe doesn't want to smash when she is under Epic, but wait til she is under Live Nation and then really smash with saved material or better effort? That is my guess

IMO Shakira's next studio album could:
-Flop terribly (Real flop, not like She Wolf which was moderate success)
-Smash like Laundry Service
I dont think that album will just "do well" or have "moderate success". Huge flop or Huge Success.

Very interesting theory. Are you talking commercially or internationally? Or both?

Me too (if that article is true, which I hope because if not, I will kill the writer )
It would be nice if it was kinda more soulful though.. like Beyoncé's 4, just better and more ethnic and more dance. She can totally pull that off

Both
I think she could flop for the first time with a studio album, like Bionic or something like that, or could be a huge success like Laundry Service, that's my theory

Hmm.. maybe yes. That seems odd, but it could happen. But yeah, first english record after being hugely succesfull with Waka Waka and having so many Facebook followers, and first album since Pique (kinda). She could really make people grab her CD in the store or people could be dissapointed with the content or something. I think it will smash tbh  Maybe it could sell 200k in the US if she focuses on getting a very radio friendly 1st single that can get her back on the map, and ofc. go to all the shows to promote in the last week before release. Worldwide I don't think we need to worry.. with a little effort it can get 3x Platinum in Europe!
(This all only counts if the record is in atleast 90% English I think)

Yeah i would love that, and TBH i have a big hope for her Greatest Hits album, you know, a lead single could be potentially good for her to dominate EVERYWHERE, but we dont even know if she's really going to release a GH

And when I said 200k in the US I meant 1st week sales of 200k she can do that!
I really, really, really hope it's not a GH album. PLEASE let it be an English studio album! If it's a GH album it will confirm for me that it will be 2 latin dance songs, 2-3 shows of promo and then DEAD silence in 4 years.

Even if she releases a GH, she'll have to release a studio album after that, so

+1!
She needs a WHOLE NEW STAFF OF PEOPLE! Only people allowed to stay with her should be the entire band and Dionne and Javanta! Everyone else GOES. And then get a management like Beyoncé's or Rihanna's.

No, she leaves her label, but i meant, even with other laber she'll realease a Studio album in the future for sure
And as i knew with epic she had to release She Wolf, Sale el Sol, and the other album (GH), but remember that she's going to release the tour DVD, does the DVD count?
