 NOT A BRITNEY SONG! OR REMOTELY LIKE ONE December 19, 2002
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This song is NOT like the Spanish version of "Soda Pop!!" (Obviously the previous reviewer is not an astute listener and obviously does not understand the Spanish language.) It came out in 1996 a few years BEFORE Britney was manufactured by the prefab pop machine. Shakira is an artist not a media creation.
As always with Shakira, you get great music with thoughtful, poetic lyrics.
This is a song that experimented with Caribbean rhythms. Shakira is always ready to mix musical styles (as she did later on in 1998 with "Ojos asi"--mixing latin, dance, rock, pop and Arabic music. And after that was a world-wide smash other artists such as Sting followed suit.)
Love this song October 18, 2002

Hey,
I think everyone needs to buy this song because it's reminds me of Soda Pop by Britney but that is how I see it. It's has a wicked beat and I just love the wayt he song is done it great. All songs done by Shakira is good the woman is very good at what she does. She will be here for a long time and she is not going anywhere anytime soon so bring the popcorn and sit on the sofa for a ride for your life.
 shakira was far from the first to use middle eastern influences October 13, 2005

well, mr 'a music fan' ...now its your turn to be off. sting has been using middle eastern accents in his private works dating back into the 70's when even the police were new. and he was by no means the first either. yes, shakira's father was lebanese...and her first real 'muse' as it were, but there's a long line of arabic influence in pop music and culture dating back even to the days of ancient rome. so, to act as if it were something that shakira created would be wrong and highly inaccurate. i think she'd be the first to correct you. besides, i've travelled abroad and middle eastern influences in pop and club music was around long before shakira was born. i myself had some input on som club mixes in the 80s that used different middle eastern/northern african rhythms, percussions, and instrumentations. so you might want to back away and examine well your criticisms before you make them, for when you point one finger at another, you point three times as many('in spades') back at yourself. be well and God bless.
