Shakira could never even have a #1 US album or single.
Call me when Shakira will have #1 album and movie for the entire week.
Call me when Shakira will be among the top 20 greatest women in music.
Call me when Shakira will have a good fashion sense.
Call me when Waka Waka will gain more views on YouTube than OTF.
Call me when Shakira will have a # 1 album or single.
Call me when Shakira will have a worldwide hit like J-Lo after the age of 40.
Shakira must have some music talents, writing songs, playing instruments and stuff like that but she's no Jimi Hendrix or Bob Dylan.
Grammys are all politics. Legends like Diana Ross never won a Grammy, so it's not that important if Shakira won one. U call her a legend? I cannot LMFAO!!!!!
Anyway, J-Lo has also peaks in music that Shakira still can't achieve, yeah (YOUR legend)
J-Lo did achievements in movies that Shakira can't even dream of.
She even did success in fashion and other fields.
If Shakira was not offered that world cup song, she would be already forgotten. Now bye!

1. Hips Don't Lie was Number #1 in the US.
2. When did Shakira claim to be an actress? She actually has claimed that she will never be an actress. With the same logic, I can say, "Call me when J Lo is awarded the Harvard Foundation Artist, Grammys Person Of The Year, Oxford Award, UNICEF amabassadord, ALAS foundation, Pies Descalzos Founder" [s]Oh wait, she hasn't got any of that.[/s]
3. "Call me when Shakira will be among the top 20 greatest women in music.
Call me when Shakira will have a good fashion sense." These are 100% subjective and therefore your opinion, oh I mean, flopinion, is irrelevant. And you really can't talk because J Lo will never even be in the Top 100 Women in music.
4. "Call me when Shakira will have a worldwide hit like J-Lo after the age of 40." Umm, Shakira is 35. So LOL.
5. "Call me when Shakira will have a # 1 album or single."
Classic anglocentric view that USA is the only market that matters.
Call me when J Lo has a song that hits #1 in 55 countries.
Call me when J Lo's Flop Spanish album hits Top 5 in 95% of European countries.
Call me when J Lo's Videos on total on VEVO will exceed 1.5 billion views.
Call me when J Lo fulfils any of the receipts you see below with her latest album.
Receipts? SURE. Here are the facts:
Major European Countries:
France:
Sale El Sol Album: #1, over 5x Platinum
Waka Waka: #1, Platinum

Colombia Ecuador' Brazil Peru
ps Unreleased in the UK and Australia
Your grip on reality is seriously delusional. Even without "Waka Waka" Shakira has broken more records than ever before. Oh, and by the way, Waka Waka succeeded because it was the world cup song? Precisely. If there was no world cup, there would be no song.
When the album dropped, it went to #1 and Top 5, Top 10 in COUNTLESS countries, and so did the single Loca. Now don't go pulling the classic cliche "Oh but it flopped whatever in the US and didn't chart in the UK or Australia". Firstly, again those markets are NOT the most important, and for a SPANISH album to hit #7 in the US? wow. And also, as mentioned SES remains UNRELEASED in the UK and wasn't released in AUSTRALIA until November 2011 (when it was meant to be released October 2010) LOL. Flawed much?
. YOUR definition of "International hit" solely relies on success in Anglo Countries. Apparently, by your definition, if a song is a hit throughout Europe, LAtin America, Asia, but doesn't necessarily smash the US, it's considered not an "international hit".
Actually, Beautiful Liar in 2007 can be considered an INTERNATIONAL hit, and so can SHE WOLF in 2009 (hit top 5 basically everywhere besides the US). You can honestly say WHAT you want, but WAKA WAKA was an absolute international smash. But of course you'll resort to the "it's not an international hit because it flopped in the US". Classy
I love how you keep minimising her achievements;, completely ignoring the myriad of other countries which contribute to her very A-list status. Your uni-directional belief that success in the US is the only way to make an artist relevant is actually pretty laughable. You know what? you're right. "facts are facts", and the fact is that Shakira's influence worldwide is undeniable, if not she wouldn't be selling out concerts like crazy.
Still doesn't tell me why SHAKIRA EXCELS over jlo and even managed to get her star in hollywood before the triple threat Lopez.
