J.LO didn't have longevity, she had a flop career and an extension of her 15-minutes of fame because of Pitbull and a re-used song.
Pitbull paving the way for washed up has-beens with kids to feed. Shakira's last spanish album outsold Jennifer's last english album in the US
Oh and J.LO didn't have the biggest of a female in 2011, that belongs to Adele. :roll eyes: Even Pitbull had a bigger hit that year than OTF.
And Shaki had the biggest hit the year before. The only reason OTF video got that many views is because of Pitbull starring in it. Ain't nobody here for a milf in a bodysuit except for old men.
Again! Pitbull did NOTHING for the song or the video itself. Pitbull's most watched video isn't even close to OTF's views. LMFAO!
Adele was ******** on everyone last year, but at least Jen had the most successful song ww by a female artist.
This thread can keep on going but the facts are there and they show how much bigger of a legend JLo is. Shakira is loved, but not as much as Jennifer. Shakira can't do half of **** Jennifer did in her career. Can't act, can't dace, can barely sing. Don't say it doesn't matter -- It does. Jennifer Lopez is is a legend in the making, god knows she's working on it, Shakira does nothing. She might have a couple big records, but who doesn't? We're taking about talent & longevity here and Shakira has none, no matter how delusional her stans are.
And to all of you saying Pitbull paved the way for J.Lo....
Really? Can we keep this as realistic as possible, please?
Pitbull is a man *****, no matter how much you deny it, he is, he'll do a featuring with just about anybody and the fact that he did 3 songs with JLo just proves his *****ish ways even more. Stop pretending he gave her a career, cause we all know that ain't true. Most of delusional stans on this board are waaay too young to know that for a fact, I guess. SMFH.
Shakira is primarily a musician and a singer. This is her main goal and she has excelled at it.
You say she can "only belly dance" and yet lack the awareness that Shakira is also a skilled songwriter, lyricist, producer, and singer. She had already sold millions of albums before she even delved into dancing.
She's not trying to be a jack of all trades and master of none.
You consider Shakira a flop and yet her last 2 albums outsold Jennifer's.
Jen has already sold more than 50 million albums with NO TOUR since 1999 only.
Like it or not. Pitbull did nothing for the song, Jen did everything to make OTF such a smash hit, if not, the song would take off since the day 1. But US radios are agiest, that's why it took time.

So much delusion in one post
Shakira is not as loved as JLo - I wanna see receipts to that.
Shakira can't act - neither can JLo - Shakira can't dance - her belly dance is more memorable than any coreography JLo has done - Shakira can barely sing but JLo can...?- seriously?
Shakira is a legend in the making. JLo is just an icon.
Shakira has critical acclaim. She started 15 years ago and she's still going and doesn't have to settle for a seat in a Tv show as a judge. Seriously, get out of here
Her box office gross is over a billion now. and that amazing actress Sandra won an oscar at the age of 40. not that it adds so much to her but still, it took her that long to win that award when she's a full time actress.
Shakira's had some few hits over the years, i cant recall her last hit but whatever.
JLo was in the top 10 in the billboard 100 for several weeks. and her song was the biggest song by a female in 2011. more recent than anything. when is Shakira proving her longevity?
What the HELL does Sandra Bullock have to do with Jennifer Lopez!?
No. If you are going to delude yourself into thinking Shakira only had a breakthrough after JLo's music career began, it's very relevant to include that Shakira was already highly successful.
You JLo fans are on such a high level of delusion.
Whoever says JL is better than Shakira is seriously delusional. You're bragging with On the Floor? That song i nothing but a teenage version of Justin Bieber's "Baby". I feel like it was made for lulz + it sampled an old song. It simply fails.

i feel stupid sayin' this for the 5th times.Im not (see the NOT please) denying Shakira's success before the 00s. we're talking about her crossover to the US. it wouldnt have happened if it wasnt for JLO.
5000Million of views. the 1st female to do so. without the World cup
Your logic = Shakira paved the way for latinas on youtube.

Lordttt. Where to begin. First the whole Shakira has no longevity thing is tired and your obviously uninformed.. Shak's been doing this thing for 15 + years. Hmm. Jlo started after Selena died at the age of 27 and has had more flop eras and less sales then Shaki.
Realistic as possible. ok. Shakira's music career speaks for itself. She has been more successful because her music resonates with the world more so then Jen's music. Remember that famous ATRL saying, "Hips don't lie, neither do credentials."

Jen can act, like it or not, Shakira can't even try acting.
Shakira can't dance and her belly dancing is all wrong, but that might be something different and strange for the westerns, that's why she's overrated for that.
J-Lo was once a back up dancer for Janet, when Janet was huge and wanted only the best on her side, that will tell you everything and not ANYone can be a judge on AI. In addition, both are icons and legends in the making. Deal with it.

Shakira self-admits that she is not a good actress. Being that Shakira is a perfectionist, she is probably too hard on herself. She is actually quite a mediocre actress. Mediocre like Jlo's acting. Ive seen clips of her acting on her Soap, not bad... Its not Julian Moore/Meryl Streep perfection but still as good if not better then Jlo.
Shak's dancing isn't as good as Jlo's. Most of these younger pop tarts still are put to shame by Jlo and she's in her 40's. Jlo is a trained dancer who specializes in choreography. Shakira is more of a natural dancer. People have tastes, if your into skillful movements, then Jlo is for you. If your into fluid, spontaneous movements, then Shakira is for you.
