Inspirational Shakira
Posted in Music, Music People, News, Shakira, Singers on the September 17, 2007
Her world tour has been over for months. She’s been seen painting the town red with friends like Penelope Cruz. But it seems that Shakira is well over that and ready for some down time. But down time doesn’t really mean that she’s bumming around.
While most people would just lounge around the house or go to a nice relaxing spot, Shakira has been taking some classes at UCLA. She’s reportedly studying the History of Western Civilization.
Now there’s an artist that just proved that not all of them are dumb attention-seekers. There are still some that use their time wisely by enriching their knowledge. Britney, take some pointers!
Madonna to perform on Lennox song
Posted in Celebs, Concert, Joss Stone, Madonna, Music, Music Award, Music People, New LP, Pink, Pop Music, Shakira, Song on the July 24, 2007
Lennox is set to appear at a special concert in London next month
Madonna is among a host of female stars to appear on a new charity single by vocalist Annie Lennox.
Sing will feature contributions from 23 singers including Shakira, Joss Stone, Dido and Celine Dion, who were asked to perform by the former Eurythmics star.
Lennox, whose new album is due for release in October, wrote the song after her work with Nelson Mandela’s 46664 Aids charity.
The singer’s last solo collection, Bare, was released in 2003.
Other singers to appear on the new record, which is being released in September, include Pink, Fergie, Gladys Knight, Bonnie Raitt, Melissa Etheridge and Lennox’s fellow Scottish star KT Tunstall.
The song will raise funds for the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), whose own vocal group The Generics inspired Lennox to create the track for her Songs of Mass Destruction album.
The award-winning singer, who released her first solo album 15 years ago, performed at the 46664 concert in South Africa in 2005, staged to highlight awareness of the plight of women living with HIV and Aids.
Lennox has amassed four Grammy and 11 Brit awards in a career spanning more than 25 years.
Beyonce and Shakira-an explosive combination
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Music, Shakira, Video on the May 14, 2007
The two hottest female singers recently released their first duet which turned immediately into a hit and reached the top of American charts.
The clip for the song is amazing. It describes the story of two women who are in love with the same man and are fighting for him but at the end they turn their back on him.
I think one of the ideas of the video is to show that the friendship and the dignity are more important than one man.
In my point of view this is one of the most successful duets because the two singers know how to blow up the public. They have such a sexy vision and so amazing voices which can’t leave you apathic. I hope we’ll have the chance to hear at least another duet because together they are incredible.
