Looks
like Shakira is a true pop phenomenon to stay 'Aqui'
THE FIRST SONG Shakira
played on Saturday night at the HP Pavilion in San Jose was "Estoy Aqui," which
translates to "I'm Here."
Boy, was she ever.
More important, from the look of things, it appears that she's here to stay.
The 29-year-old Colombian-born vocalist opened her two-night stand at the venue,
which included a show Monday night, with a fiery performance that proved she has
what it takes to make it for the long haul.
Shakira, as most of you probably know, is currently the hottest property in the
crossover market. A huge star in the Latin pop world since the mid-'90s, the
woman born Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll now finds herself in the same league as
Madonna, Britney Spears and Shania Twain in the U.S. Her collaboration with
Wyclef Jean, "Hips Don't Lie," is the jam of the summer, and her Oral Fixation
Tour is doing banner business
across the country.
