Naja, Background Tänzer zu heiraten ist ja nicht schlimm. Man mag halt die Personen gerne mit denen man häufig zusammen und in Kontakt ist. Ich kritisiere Shaki nicht dafür, ich meine wenn man sich nen' Präsidentensohn geangelt hat hat man warscheinlich schon einen besser erzogenen aus gutem Hause der es nicht wagen würde seine schwangere Frau wegen einem Popstar sitzen zu lassen.

Naja, das kommt ja nicht von contactmusic.com, sondern aus dem Text von der Zeitschrift "Arena". Ich denke schon, dass sie das gesagt hat ;)

Gato hat den im Rules gepostet:

Friday June 25 8.03pm Studio Phenix, Monaco

Shakira leans against a table, listening intently to a song playing on a loop on the stereo in front of her. Hips swaying gently in time, she repeats barely perceptible dance moves that become increasingly familiar, both to her and to anyone who has seen MTV in the last five years. A belly gyration. A butt shake. A recognisable breast thrust. If you were able to sidle up close enough to observe her lips move as she does this, you'd notice chat she is mouthing words, echoing the voice that soars from the speakers.

"Lucky that my lips not only mumble," she whispers as she drops a shoulder to the Latin percussion swirl going on beneath the vocal. "They spill kisses like a fountain. Lucky that my breasts are small and humble..." There's that upward thrust of breast bone again. "So you don't confuse them... with mountains."

The song is, of course, hers: Whenever, Wherever, her debut UK single from March 2002

that holds the dubious distinction of being the highest-selling No 2 in British chart history. It was beaten by Will Young's first single as Pop Idol winner, Evergreen/Anything Is Possible, which was bought by every single female under the age of 93 in the country. But Shakira's effort was inescapable throughout the world, getting to No 1 in 30 countries, and that self-deprecatory, body-conscious quatrain - and the ensuing glut of magazine covers — proved that, while perhaps humble, Shakira was soon to be stellar.

Back in the studio the song plays four times before she is happy. Aside from a brief rendition a few weeks ago at the ceremony to mark Madrid's bid to host the 2012 Olympics in front of half a million people, she hasn't performed the track for nearly two years, but she's got it now. Which is just as well, as there's a police escort waiting downstairs.

9.03pm

NRJ Music Tour,

Monaco Harbour

 

Backstage, hidden from the 6,000-strong crowd by a black curtain held in place by industrial bull clips, Shakira is wearing the most peculiar pair of boots. They have high-rise heels and appear to have had the toes cut off with an axe. "They are the only shoes I have ever found that are comfortable to perform in," she protests, having assured Arena that the frontal ventilation is of the designer's specification, not hers. "I normally perform barefoot, but I have really big feet and fat toes."

This is patently a lie. Shakira is — famously — 4' 11" and nothing about her is either big or fat. (Though small, she is no mini-Minogue; everything's in proportion and she has curves in all the places we tend to like them.) Rather unfortunately for her story, her trainers were visible earlier on and they clearly cannot house anything bigger than an antelope's hoof. But she is still stringing out this falsehood as she is shoved by her tour manager from the confines of the curtain in front of the assembled masses, who duly go completely bananas when the first bars of Whenever, Wherever hit them.

Shakira is performing on French radio's biggest national tour, something like Party In The Park taken on the road. It's only fair to warn you that the belly gyrations, butt shakes and, particularly, the breast thrusts are particularly lethal when delivered with performance-level vigour (and seen a little too closely from behind a curtain). Her second number, La Tortura, is her new Spanish-language single, and is accompanied by more gyration. Indeed, the song and its attendent routine are rather pleasant.

After nearly three years away, Shakira has returned. And from where we're standing, that's no bad thing.

The Colombian-born 28-year-old is midway through a relatively unique musical proposition: the release of her new albums, Oral Fication Vols 1&2. Or, to give the first one its proper title, Fijacion Oral Volumen 1, as she's releasing two entirely different albums a few weeks apart. The first is in Spanish, the second English; the Spanish pertaining more to the emotions of the heart, the English concerned perhaps more with the head - "more social topics" as she puts it. Whether that's a conscious marketing decision is unclear, but that is certainly how she describes them. "That's as much as I can advance you," she says, smiling at her own secrecy, her English betrayed only by occasional idiosyncratic losses in translation like this one.

She learnt the language quickly before recording Laundry Service, her 2002 debut English album which sold 10m copies worldwide, breaking her internationally, and now suffers far fewer peculiar quirks of syntax and comprehension than she did then (it is, for example, unlikely that a native English-speaker would have come up with the "small and humble" verse). She does, however, use the same similes and metaphors in her speech regularly, so you recognise her favourite anecdotes and pertinent points from reading them in previous interviews, even ones from years ago, before she's finished saying them. (This is worth mentioning purely because she is clearly ferociously intelligent, as confident and competent discussing history, politics and poetry as she is David Beckham or Depeche Mode.)

But the flip side to this is that in conversation you often get unusual combinations of words or descriptive phrases that you'd never have put together, but which do the job well. As illustration, at one point Arena puts forward the notion that Spanish as a language is inherently more sexy, more seductive than English. One can't, for example, belly dance in our mother tongue, surely? "Oh yes," she says, immediately. "Like hell I can!" She then widens the topic to suit her thinking: "You know, you can be romantic in any language, but there is a certain romance, poetry, implied in some languages, like French, Spanish, or Arabic even. They have the language of romance spread all over the dictionary."

The title Oral fixation derives from the language of psychoanalysis — "it's not me who invented it, you should probably talk to Mr Freud and find what he meant"-but in Shakira's mind it has a broader meaning. "I have always lived through my mouth," she says, "through the things that I've said and probably should not have said. My mouth is probably my biggest source of pleasure, my vehicle of communication and the most efficient tool I have of getting myself in trouble!" (Note: at this point Arena had yet to witness the lethal nature of her dance routines when performed in confined spaces, so did not question the accuracy of that last comment.)

For the record, her mouth is rather impressive. If The Joker had been born female in Colombia, Batman's nemesis would have had Shakira's lips. They stretch into a wide grin that continues until the corners of her mouth line up with the corners of her eyes. She has flawless skin, apart from a small, barely visible circular scar in the middle of her

forehead, as if you've caught the precise moment a drop of water breaks the surface of a puddle.

So why the two albums? "I wanted my non-Hispanic audience to understand that I have

had a career singing in Spanish for 14 years," she says, "and that's an important part of my artistic sensibility. There are things that I get to say in Spanish that I don't get to say in English. I'll never be able to express myself that way in  English, but I wanted to be able to share that part of me with my non-Hispanic Fans."

Shakira's Hispanic fan base has been with her for a long rime. Born in 1977 in Barranquilla, a coastal town in Colombia, into a regular middle-class family, Shakira's first public performance was aged four. Her father took her to a local restaurant, where his young daughter was entranced by the belly dancer who was entertaining the room. "The dancer picked me out and I followed her steps and fell so madly in love with the dance that it was everything I did for the next couple of years," she says. "Every Friday afternoon I would have a special performance in my school doing the belly dance. And my school was a nuns' school.".

But it wasn't all to be her own way. She didn't make the cut of her school choir, as the music director didn't like her voice, or her volume. "It sounds comic now but back then it was traumatising," she recalls. "I was full of dreams, from the age of 10 I had chosen a career, I knew I wanted to be a singer, and this guy wouldn't let me in the choir. My parents would say, 'You have a beautiful voice, stick to what you are, don't sing any less loud than what you think.' I don't think the music teacher knew too much about music." Have you been back to see him' "No, I would punch him on the face!"

When she was 15 she released her first album in Latin America, which made little impression, as did her second. She took a job on a TV soap opera, and was clearly doing something right as a national celebrity magazine awarded her 'Rear of the Year', an accolade that makes her squirm with embarrassment if you happen to bring it up (which Arena naturally does).

It was her third Spanish album that got her noticed and her fourth, Donde Estan Los Ladrones? ('Where Are The Thieves?'), that made her famous, selling 4m copies. She hadn't yet 'crossed over' to break the lucrative North American market and the UK, but a number of her singles had scored highly on the American Billboard Latin chart, and she'd won a Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album for the MTV Unplugged set she released in early 2000.

Laundry Service made the world sit up. Lazily labelled the Latin Britney by many it should

have been evident that she was nothing of the sort. At 13 she heard Depeche Mode's Enjoy The Silence, and it changed her outlook on music. The Spanish Vol 1 LP is heavily influenced by Eighties acts like The Human League and The Cure. She also listens to The Clash, Led Zeppelin, Iggy Pop and Nirvana, and her new albums are co-produced by legendary rock'n'roll figurehead Rick Rubin, the man who introduced Aerosmith and Run-DMC.

She reads avidly and corresponds regularly with Gabriel Garcia Marquez, author of Bill Clinton's favourite novel, One Hundred Yean Of Solitude, Marquez thinks so highly of her that he wrote, "No one can sing or dance... with such an innocent sensuality, one that seems to be of her own invention."

At 18, after she first tasted success, she set up her own charity, Pies Descalzos ('Bare Feet'), to help the displaced children of Colombia and further afield. "We have 2,630 kids who we provide with food and psychological support and education," she says. "These are poor kids that come from very violent situations.

"Right now in Colombia we have the second biggest humanitarian catastrophe in the world, after Sudan, with two million people displaced from their environments due to violence. In the middle of this crossfire between the right- and left-wing subversive groups there are families, peasants and more than 800 000 children who have no homes, and no opportunity to educate themselves. We also build schools in remote places. It is very little compared to the magnitude of the problem, but..." she trails off, and shrugs.

Shakira is a strange mix of Catholic guilt and rampant showmanship. One minute she struggles with the idea of presenting an image to the world that her parents might not find entirely wholesome, the next she's dry-humping a mic stand on French national TV.

Her excuse is that of performance; when she is on stage she is free of whatever it is that might hold her back off it. "Somehow I get betrayed by my own nature on the stage, which is the only place where I can be myself and the only place where I really feel liberated. When I perform, I find myself exorcised of everything that keeps me trapped in my everyday life."

Her everyday life involves her boyfriend, Antonio de la Rua, the son of the former president of Argentina. They've been together for six years and, in terms of interest from the Latin American public, are as close to a Posh and Becks as there is. She laughs. "I never saw ourselves that way. We have had enormous attention from the press. It was somehow controversial that the son of a president was dating a celebrity, for therefore he too would become a celebrity; as if it was too glamorous for a son of a president," she says, mocking the notion.

"The only problem now is that I'll never be able to get a boob job done after so boldly having spoken about how happy I am to have humble breasts. I don't mind. Those are some of the times I get myself into trouble. I write stuff without thinking about the magnitude of the consequences of what could happen, and then I have to explain it every single time. I have said some of the stupidest things. Including that!"

If Shakira had been designed by the men in suits, she couldn't be any more marketable. She is, perhaps, the perfect blueprint of a global star: devout enough for the Catholic conservatives, credible enough for the purists. And for Arena! Brains, conscience and the most oscillating pelvis we've ever seen. Shakira is back - and from where we're standing, that's no bad thing.

Der Artikel dazu:

Shakira will kein Lustobjekt sein

Popsängerin Shakira empfindet sich trotz knapper Outfits und ihrer sexy Tanzeinlagen nicht als Lustobjekt.

«Für mich bedeutet Tanzen nicht, mich Männern an den Hals zu schmeissen oder mich ihnen gar zu unterwerfen», sagt die 29-jährige Kolumbianerin der Zeitschrift «Brigitte Young Miss». Demnach könnte sich Shakira nie mit einem polygamen Macho an ihrer Seite arrangieren: «Ein Fremdgänger würde bei mir sofort rausfliegen. Mit meinem Freund Antonio bin ich seit fünf Jahren glücklich, aber im Ernstfall müsste ich stark bleiben - als Vorbild für das weibliche Geschlecht», wird sie in dem Blatt zitiert. Sie wolle alle Frauen ermutigen, auf «miese Behandlung» konsequent zu reagieren.

Das selbe hab ich auch auf aon.at gefunden:

Shakira versteht sich nicht als Lustobjekt

Hamburg,08-08-05

Die kolumbianische Pop-Sängerin Shakira (28) trägt zwar gern knappe Outfits und bewegt sich auf der Bühne und in ihren Videos sehr sexy, aber deshalb will sie sich noch lange nicht als Lustobjekt verstanden wissen.

"Für mich bedeutet Tanzen nicht, mich Männern an den Hals zu schmeißen oder mich ihnen gar zu unterwerfen", sagte sie der Illustrierten "Brigitte Young Miss".

Polygame Machos - Nein danke!

So könnte sich Shakira niemals mit einem polygamen Macho an ihrer Seite arrangieren: "Ein Fremdgänger würde bei mir sofort rausfliegen. Mit meinem Freund Antonio bin ich seit fünf Jahren glücklich, aber im Ernstfall müsste ich stark bleiben - als Vorbild für das weibliche Geschlecht. Ich möchte alle Frauen ermutigen, auf miese Behandlung konsequent zu reagieren."

Machos sind etwas was keiner braucht, die welt aber zu genüge hat - leider. Naja es soll ja angeblich weiber geben die drauf abfahren...lol

Das mit dem ernstfall... das ist glaub ich recht leicht gesagt - und wenn tonio einmal fremdgehen würde könnte man ihn auch nicht gleich als Macho abstempeln... wer weiß, ich glaube schon sie würde ihn erstmal rausschmeißen, aber wer weiß ob sie ihm dann noch eine chance gibt. Hoffentlich müssen wir so einem Szenario nie ausgesetzt sein.

Habe diese news übrigens auch im pro7 und rtl videotext gestern gelesen

Ja, das stand überall. Bei RTL, MTV und VOX auch. Aber ich denke nicht, dass Toni sie jemals betrügen würde. Wenn er das vorhätte, hätte er das schon längst getan, denke ich. Sie sind jetzt immer hin schon 5 Jahre zusammen, und bis jetzt ist alles gut gelaufen. Ich hoffe, dass das auch so bleibt.

es geht ja nicht darum sowas vorzuhaben. Grundsätzlich ist fremdgehen jedem zuzutrauen, habe da leider meine erfahrung machen müssen, und auch Shakira würde ich nie im leben davon freisprechen. Richtiger Ort, Richtiger Moment, Richtige Person, und schon hast du den Salat. Wie vielen Leuten ´passiert so ein "Ausrutscher". Die Realität sollte uns allen zu denken geben. Ob man es will oder nicht, passieren kann sowas allemal.

Da hat sie wieder total recht. Ich hasse auch Machos...

Zur Ehrenrettung der Machos muß ich um Differenzierung bitten. In dem Artikel geht es um "polygame Machos", gemeint sind eher "promiskuitive Machos"... Macho bedeutet im engeren Sinne nicht automatisch, daß man fremdgeht. Insofern muß die Tatsache, daß Shakira fremdgehende Machos nicht mag, nicht bedeuten, daß sie Machos im Allgemeinen haßt. :) Um genau zu sein spricht sie in den zitierten Teilen überhaupt nicht von Machos, sondern nur von Fremdgängern.

Ich jedenfalls hasse alle Machos. Egal ob polygam oder nicht. Aber ein Typ, der sich als kleiner Junge benimmt, ist auch doof. Ein Mittelding ist das beste.
