Shakira had a bad cold that day too. That was revealed immediately after the performance when GLORIA ESTEFAN interviewed her briefly. No joke, Gloria Estefan was covering for Rosie for a couple of days at that time!

I remember this episode so fondly because it was Shakira's absolute first time on ENGLISH American television.

So, everything make sense now?

I thought she was going to sing "Ciega, sordomuda," which was already a hit at that time.

Me quedo con la versión en español  :) I prefer Spanish Version !

[fwidemann]

nunca la había visto cantando en inglés con el pelo negro. .

que le sale nice =P

[bnmcfadden]

necesito todos sus discos.. solo tengo 3.. =(

[JesseyJamez911]

Keep in mind haters, she didn't even learn english until 2001, this performance took place a good 2-3 years before she really started learning english.

[sunder99online]

Can I get all the messages in English only. thanks

[schoeman8543]

@sunder99online NO. you can't.

[AlCovarrubias]

It is a very nice translation I must say, but the poetry behind the first two verses of the chorus in Spanish, is totally missing in English: El cielo se ha cansado ya de ver la lluvia caer... (the sky has already exhausted itself of seeing the rain falling).

[charmedone43]

Actually Gloria Estefan did the translation cause when Shaki was this age she didn't even know how to speak english. Btw even in Laundry Service she needed a dictionary to compose objection word by word but it was the first song she wrote by herself in english :D

[celinuchis90]

Esta canción en inglés no tiene el mismo sentimiento que produce en la versión original.

[Albertikko]

el cielo esta cansado ya de veeeeeeer la lluvia caer!

[PedroTheDiva]

I Love Her So Much! She is a great person & thats why she is still my idol. so fuck what people sayy :)

[sweetsurrender90]

"Dónde están los ladrones?" is far her best album

[kansasgoldilocks]

The problem here is she tried to translate word for word or quite literally in many areas of this song. It doesn't sound right in English. An example of a looser translation that she pulled off really well was Ojos Asi/Eyes like yours. Also Tango/Objection was done well. Translating text is immensely difficult though.

[rockangel7777]

@kansasgoldilocks Agreed .

[livinolga]

Me quedo con la version en espanol, pero eso no significa que sea mala, shakira eres la mas grande!!!!! gracias a ti, los colombianos que vivimos en el exterior tenemos algo mas de lo que sentirnos orgullosos!!!!

[eduard24]

excelnte...

[googley3]

aww cute her accent was so thick back then

[yiartes]

amo ese look!!!

[Bitoneto]

apuesto que si siguiera cantando solo español no tendria el exito que ahora tiene, el abrirse paso en el mercado anglosajon la ha hecho una de las cantantes mas importantes, si siguiera con el estilo de pies descalzos y donde estan los ladrones probablemente nos hubiera aburrido y la hubieramos tachado por eso, admiro todo lo que ella hace

[maddye69]

@Bitoneto Siento no estar de acuerdo, a mi me gustaba antes, ahora no. Creo que se ha vendido a la industria discográfica! Con todo su talento...

[Jentkaus]

@maddye69 Estoy de acuerdo con lo que dices, las letras de antes estaban más trabajadas. La canción de Loba y Loca son un ejemplo de su cambio.

[maddye69]

@Jentkaus ya ves, son una mierda...

[Bitoneto]

@maddye69 bueno es cuestion de puntos de vista, como me gusta su trabajo hasta ahora la considero buena

[costumemakestheclown]

@Bitoneto Tienes toda la boca llena de razón!!

[GirlsThatWearBlue]

she's so out of her element singing in english here

[benja991]

omg she looks so pale

[Iluv2bblk]

her blk hair is making me nervous...i still luv shak.... but blk hair makes u look pale

[LunaxicaL]

Me encanta esta cancion... Diria que es mi favorita de Shakira... Y aunque me encanta Don`t Bother, que es del estilo, Inevitable esta mil veces mejor en español....

[emerson25]

Una de las presentaciones en que su voz se parece a la del disco..... She wolf no refleja la calidad vocal que ella pposee!

[Fabioperez66]

alguem entende o q ela canta?

[KeepTrue56]

lol...shakira...were u nervous here?

aww well ur still the best.

[shakiritarockera]

Me encanta ¡¡gracias!!...

Ella desde el comienzo dijo que su sueño también era grabar un disco en ingles...'¡¡y vaya como lo ha logrado!!

SHAKIRA...
