First off, I need to say that I'm not a Shakira fan, and have only really seen her and heard her since she began filling in for Christina Aguilera on The Voice.

This song sounds like a typical pop song, with the video showing the amount of sexual innuendo that's needed today to sell records. What makes it different than most are the rare abilities that Shakira has which are missing from most of her peers' music: first and foremost, the voice, and her awareness of the use of it. Next, the ability to write her own song, even if they're written in collaboration. While she may not be a true dancer, per se, like JLo and Brittany Spears, to name a few (who are undeniably dancers first, but as for their singing ability, let's be kind and just say they can usually get the job done as long as the lyrics and melodies aren't too difficult. They mostly stay in tune and on pitch.), she can move her body with a flexibility usually found only in Olympic-level gymnasts. As for the title, "Hips Don't Lie", anyone who takes that literally must be an idiot. It's a cute catch-phrase, probably stemming from her ability to Belly Dance, used as a song title. Besides, from as far back as I can remember, people have made similar statements: "These lips don't lie." "If I'm lyin' I'm dyin." Jeez! Do people REALLY think that, to use JLo again, she really is still "Jenny from the Block" must be delusional. Then again, depending on who she means the words for, the statement may be totally true and appropriate.

Lastly, I have to say I find some of the comments above extremely disturbing and totally disrespectful. The moron posing as Shakira should have been blocked as these comments are supposedly screened. And the other comment criticizing the title and threatening her with a lawsuit is in the wrong venue. I suggest the administrators of this site do a better job of weeding out the crazies

Your music is terrible, Shakira. Hips do not possess the ability of deception. This is innacurate. I am going to sue you shortly. I expect to see you in court, Shakira. Til then,Graham Lyle.
