She sings CLARAmente = clearly ("Clara" the name of the mistress) SalPIQUE = Splash ("Piqué" the cheater) She outting their names in the song. So she is profiting out of the cheater and misstress, That's just another level of iconic Also when he cheated the other girl was 22, so she says she is worth 2 22-year-olds.
@@calmsleep64 yup! I live in Europe and Pique 's(the cheater) soccer/football number is 3. The song lasts exatly 3:33 minutes. Also when she says she is worth 2 x 22 year olds she makes the gesture that Pique makes with his hands/ fingers when he scores a goal. This was always a tribute to their birthdays that are on the same day February 2nd (02-02). I only know this because soccer is the biggest sport in Europe (actually in the world) and Spain is one of the best teams.
@@Yazzzzzz15 i was with you until you said Spain is one of the best teams 😂 I mean…yes but not so much this past World Cup lol and was it South Africa…the “bye spana” meme? Good times haha
@@PrincessElisa8 you are right! I meant than at the time 2010-2014 with Iniesta and all the great players. Not now lol. Especially Pique has never been great. I'm from the Netherlands and even though they lost to Argentina, with the help of the referee-this was obvious to everyone-the Netherlands is on paper one of the best.
I think one thing you missed is that Shakira became a successful famous singer in the Spanish speaking world long before crossing over and singing in English. She's alright in English but the style is different and she's not phenomenal like she is in Spanish. Your surprise at how good she sounds in a modern context is really surprise at how much better she is in Spanish. She's amazing. The tone you're surprised at is normal for her and always has been, but just in Spanish.
It’s true, singers usually will sound different in English or Spanish.. and her sounds in English is not as great but her Spanish? *chef kiss* an icon.
@@aleeh2109 it’s true. In different languages/dialects people pronounce things differently and use different parts of their vocals so yk, it makes sense she sounds different. My mom is Latina, born in Ecuador. English is her second language. She pretty much lost her Spanish accent but when she talks in Spanish she sounds way different than in English
I just think that this attitude is degrading the great singer and woman that she is. Unfortunately not so many people takes a separation from their partners well. But I believe that she should be more mature and move on with her life and her family. Just forget about her ex husband. Both of them are looking like a teenagers! Oh please... 😮
It’s funny that in The US shakira is just well known for hips don’t lie or Whenever wherever, but actually she has a lot of hits during the last 10 years, and not only a danceable song like HDL, she has rock, pop, reggaeton, bachata, balads that are wonderful, you should try to find out some of her music!
What I love about this is the fact that the song is a whole ass diss track, like insane references to the ex husband and the girlfriend but they get lost in translation. Shakira is an absolute icon and her catalog is insane
Just so you understand it better, pique, her ex cheated on her with a girl named clara, thats why she says sal-pique and clara-mente, she really disses them 😂 as she should tbh
And like She Wolf, maybe? But like that's kinda it. I know she did some songs with popular American ladies (no dudes cause her philandering ex-husband was the jealous type... what a hypocrite)
that's because they have always understood Jlo as "latin music" when for us she barely exist, shakira is the real timeless icon for latins and spanish pop music
Bzrrap's sessions are always recorded like this for the MV's. It's his trademark, and many of his videos have hundreds of millions of views. He's doing alright by keeping it simple
I am always surprise how people don’t realize how big and famous is Shakira. She was already very famous before jumping to English singing.she was our Alanís morissette.her beginning were more Rock influences. And this years she have done a lot of music in Spanish and she has keep up a lot. Everything she release is always a hit in our language (Spanish) you should react to old songs of Hers I will like to see your point of view with her older hits (previous to laundry services album)
shakira name dropped both her ex and his new girl in this song! "sal-pique" (means splash, and pique is her ex's last name) and "clara-mente" (means clearly, and clara is pique's new girl 😂)
It's funny to me because obviously Shakira isn't Portuguese, but in Portuguese "mente" also means "lies" = she lies. It's also similar to "miente" which would make a lot of sense with the lyrics too. "Her name sounds like she's a good person, Clara lies, it's not how she sounds" & "Clara lies, she's just like you". I'm sorry for the ramble but I just thought this would be an even bigger diss lol
@@CatTheEpicRamenNinja shes speaks Portuguese really well, actually! Every time she comes to Brazil she gives interviews in Portuguese and sounds great!
This is actually how she sounds in Spanish and has had super big “spanish hits” in the 2010s. Her english stuff she admitted is styled for the english audience. The best example where u can here the difference from english to Spanish id say check out her collab with the black eyed peas- girl like me
It's so weird to me when i hear people say they haven't heard a Shakira song in a decade or so. She's constantly on the radio in my non spanish speaking country and she's a huge celebrity, more than Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande. Shakira has been around for 30 years and she still makes headlines and scores hits with spanish music which is a rare phenomenon, no one else does it like her! My biggest dream is to attend a show of hers in South America where people really have a good grasp of her magnitude as an artist. She's a legendary icon and a very talented musician. Check out more of her music outside her international hits; Shakira is praised for her genre versatility as well as her songwriting skills that separate her from other artists; you witnessed one example with that song!
Shakira's spanish discography is LEGENDARY, she has so many incredible songs in spanish, and in very different genres is just iconic, try Laundry Service , is one of her most iconic but again her whole discography is a treasure to humanity just a little edit here: look for the spanish version, "Servicio de Lavanderia" i just remembered she released both spanish and english versions of this album
Shakira rapping and throwing tons of beef at the ex-husband, his new girlfriend and the one with whom he cheated on her while they were still a couple, not even the mother-in-law was spared, it's epic
You should definitely react more to Shakira! She has always released amazing music, she has done a lot of different styles and this song didn't disappoint. Like you said, it's really "aggressive in some way lmao but that's what I love the most. The lyrics are just everything and more if you know the Tea and if you know Spanish since you can get all the play words. 😂 When she released this song everyone in latam was losing it because we all knew what was going on. She's just so iconic. 🔥 Anyway, she can be a really versatile singer but it's more known globally for her characteristic way of singing. To give you more context about this, Shakira was born to a Colombian mother of Catalan and Italian descent and a Lebanese father. She says she grew up in Colombia but also among the Lebanese and Italian communities. When she sings she uses Arabic scales that gives her her signature style even though it isn't that common in pop music. Her father told ger to “protect the vibrato in her voice. A voice without a vibrato is worth nothing.” She never made it onto the school choir because the kids said she sounded like a goat and the teacher didn't want her because her voice basically overpowered the rest of the choir. This was in her early, early life. But then proved them wrong! Having said this, I recommend you to react or listen to: Ojos Así, Día de enero, Antes de las seis, La Bicicleta, Beautiful Liar, Si te vas, Inevitable, Can't Remember to Forget You, Monotonía, Las de la intuición, Te Felicito.... Those are some of my favorites Shakira's songs. 💜
Octavo día and inevitable for her rock side Hay amores is underrated imo and very different from her usual popular songs. I'd love for Tristan to react to hay amores
She plays a lot with her voice. She fits her voice to any type of genre. You should react to ore of her songs she can go from that deep voice a baby voice so easily. She vocals live are insane.
One of her iconic songs it’s called Loba which is wolf and the ex husband is a soccer player that’s why she mentions that he workouts but not the brain and the champion part in the beginning
She has two albums before crossing over from 1995 Pies Descalzos and 1998 Donde están Los Ladrones? Laundry service is her crossover album 2001. 2005 Fijación Oral, vol 1 2006 oral fixation vol 1&2 2009 She Wolf 2010 Sale el Sol 2014 Shakira 2017 El Dorado
This song literally just makes me want to learn Spanish just to be able to sing along. 🤣 love her Spanish music. Sad it's not more well known than the more mainstream English songs.
For me, nothing will ever screams "she is more relevant and bigger than anyone else" than her line "you changed a rolex to a casio" proceeded by her ex actually being sponsored by casio few days before and IN THE SAME DAY THAT HAPPENED casio stock market crash so hard it was legendary
"The Weeknd meets stranger things vibes" got me hahahahaha. Shakira is huge in the latin industry and despite the drama or whatever the song is fire 🔥 I mean the lyrics are so well written and the beat is super cool! Thanks Tristan 4 reacting to this!
Finally the reaction I needed to see but the English subtitles don’t really say some things right like in Spanish but overall this song is a masterpiece it went to 22mil views in just 2 days
Bizarrap is an Argentinian producer and his sessions are really famous and amazing! You should react to some of them. Like Quevedo or Villano Antillano.
I have been obsessed with this song since it came out. I just love it. Just some tea about the song, her ex Pique cheated on her with a girl named Clara. So there are some word plays in the song with their names. “Clara mente no es cómo suena” she breaks up the word claramente to say the mistresses name Clara. Claramente means clearly in Spanish by the way.
Americans they dont understand that Shakira is a Global artist. They think that she is a One hit Wonder but she’s been making music all of these years but mostly in spanish and you if u dont know latín music makes a lot of money Too.
5:47 that's the idea hhahahaha the Bizarrap sessions are supposed to be improvised in one day. The beat is already planned out by Biza and the rapper/singer makes up a song and vocals in a day :)
I just finished watching a couple that are Vocal Coaches as well and they said they exact same thing you said about her having that unique voce. The guy said he was waiting to hear that unique Shakira sound and on the part you just mentention at 4:40 is the exact same part he said that is were you hear it at. That it is so rare for an artist to be recognized as soon as you hear that unique sound. They said all artist want that.
A while back she had to get vocal surgery and she lost her voice for a bit, that might be why her voice sounds a bit different to you. Regardless, as a Shakira stan, her discography in Spanish (which is the majority of her discography lol) is actually extremely diverse (which makes sense because it's her native language) and I definitely recommend anyone check it out ! She's done so many different genres throughout the years. She's been famous in Latin America since she was like 18, and she's consistently released music in Spanish that has pretty much made her a landmark artist in the Spanish-speaking world and internationally, except the US pretty much. For example, I would argue that 'Hips Don't Lie', for example, is probably one of her worst songs (not to say that it's bad at all, I don't think it is, but it goes to show how different it is between one language/world vs the other).
I have always thought that her voice in english and in spanish sound compleatly different (also because she must feel more comfortable writting in spanish) so thats why i think that people that are not hispanic are not so aware of her last hits but she has never stopped being relevant for us :) I would love a video of you reacting to more of her last songs in spanish or even the ones you know in spanish because they are amazing
You've not heard from Shakira one of the biggest world superstars since Hips don't lie? She Wolf? Waka waka? Can't remember to forget you? La La La Brazil 2014? Chantaje? Interesting. Check out more of her things over the past 30 years, she's very versatile with her voice
This is the Shakira we Latinos know, she is versatile, and she has sounded like this in a lot of other songs. She is a QUEEN! And I get that here people do not follow her career through the years, but el que sabe, sabe
honestly i wish i had a music teacher when i was in middle school, thank you @Tristan Paredes you make me so happy please make more true crime/ music advice technique
I noticed a lot of people were commenting on Shakira's amazing wordplay and focus on numerology, and I just wanted to add, Shakira is insanely brilliant. I don't know that much about her, but I do know she's constantly seeking to learn more about herself, her voice, the world, everything, and it's obvious with this song (if it wasn't already obvious with the hundreds of songs prior to this) that she will call shit out when she sees it and she isn't interested in taking prisoners. I can't believe that two of the best songs in the past few years - this and "Flowers" - were both released within days of each other.
There's something really nice about hearing a singer rip someone a new asshole in their mother tongue. The emotions are just so raw and the word play is hella interesting usually.
Omg it's unbelievable how Americans have been missing out on Shakira's Music, she has been well known all around the world for making huge hits for more than 30 years, she's literally the definition of a Global superstar.
I think you should listen more of Shakira balads..of course she improve over the years, but it's not a surprise for latin Americans that she has an amazing and versatil voice 🤗
Ok I’m colombian and I feel the urge to jump in and say: 1. Finally a song in Spanish!! 2. Get ready bc the tea is just starting 💅🏼 So a few things that would only be noticeable if you know Spanish: when she says “sorry if it splashes you”, in spanish is “sal-PIQUE”… which is the name of her ex. And theeen… when she says “clearly”, in spanish is “CLARA-mente”, which is the name of Pique’s new gf 💅🏼 Bizarrap (Bzrp but pronounced bee-za-rap) is a famous producer and he does a 1-time song (called session) with various singers. He is pretty huge in LATAM 🫡
It's artists like Shakira that show that you can't judge someone's music by just title tracks. B sides are like their heart and soul. Title tracks feel more like a sneak peek.
I think Tristan needs a lot more of context of the relationship that Shakira had bc every line is a direct reference to him and his new gf AND SHE LET IT ALL BURNNNN like she says in Spanish "no es mi culpa que te sal-PIQUE" and her ex's surname in Piqué 🫣😬🤪👀 HAHAHHA or she says "tiene nombre de persona buena, CLARA-mente no es como suena" and the new gf's name is Clara!!! HAHHAHA omg
It's soo weird to hear that someone only knows Shakira from her 2000s English crossover mega-hits lol... While I wouldn't say I'm a huge Shakira fan, since my mom was a huge fan in late 90s and sis was in 2010s, I've heard her quite and bit and respect her not just as a woman but an artist. I highly recommend listening/reacting to her early grunge/pop era (late 90s early 2000s), if not some of her other popular pop songs. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say it is in some ways similar to Alanis morissette, her pop rock era. Antología, dónde están los landrones, que me quedas tu, ciega sordomuda, estoy aquí are some. For her pop, she wolf would be great to see a reaction from lol. But deja vu, loca, or perro fiel are some other suggestions. Idk it's just that there's a little more to Shakira and other Latin artists who made successful crossover hits
Tristan i need you to get with the times.. Shakira has been making bangers your whole life.. Lets get you on the shakira band wagon please. 1st: te felicito 2: chantaje for starters 💜
I was really looking forward to you reacting to Shakira one day but this is totally under researched. you can’t assume what her voice is like from music in English released in the early 2000s. She’s a very skilled artist and singer
So yes I believe that Shakira's native tongue singing is noticably different.. less of that soft pallet sound used. Her English, I believe it she used her iconic sound like every line, every song. I have been a fan for many many years & I think her voice has changed but maintained HER sound. Like Britney has that sound when she sings.
Bizarrap is an argentine producer that started doing sessions in his room and later had his room rebuilt in Miami and Spain (I think) where international singers could film their sessions. You should check some others like Nicki Nicole or Nathy Peluso.
The fact she's big in even middle east, europe, south asia and pacific yet not huge in US, it's so weird. She's headlined shows for the World Cup yet people thought JLo was the bigger artist in Superbowl.
Shakira can change her voice to sound any way she wants, depending on the song. She does have that distinct gloteral sound to her voice. Shakira has never stopped putting out music. She has lately dropped two other songs that correspond to the same theme as this one. The songs are "Monotonia" & "Te Felicito". In addition, she performed at the Superbowl with JLo in 2020. It's one of the best Superbowl performances ever. You should check it out.
Shakira doesn’t need to prove anything to the USAmerican market anymore. She is a global artist. She’s being making hits since the past century, but she’s latina! “That’s her problem”
I can't even lie I didnt even recognize her at all she don't look like the same HIPS DON'T LIE ( SHAKIRA ) we all know & love but man she looks good is it me or does she look like she's getting even younger? Well whatever she doing KEEP DOING IT GIRL, also this song slaps 👍👅💋👢 she's obviously still been working hard bc I haven't seen her since years ago I mean she was doing her thing before she crossed over to english but for some reason I like this better... kinda like my girl SELENA ( we miss u RIP beautiful soul ) everyone loved her how could u not she was amazing no matter what way she sang she was so talented such a beautiful lovely young lady gone to soon at the hands of a selfish person she's greatly missed love to see u do one on her TRISTAN ( don't remember if u have u might have) but If so maybe do another song of hers bc we need to celebrate her more!!
Imagine reacting to this song after not properly listening to any of her actual great songs in the past 20 years and like it. You should react to her superbowl performance and be blown away by her talent.
One of my fav songs of her is "No" and "Don't Bother". Not the most famous ones but the vocals are CRAZY. And this one... my husband says he just can't listen to it no more 🤣😅
First time listening to this song, happy to be able to reach to it for the first time together with Tristan, though I'm clearly late to the party 😂🎉 this song be so banging too!
If you think this song is aggressive, you've to listen "Si te vas", which is waaaay more aggressive than this one haha. Also I recommend you "Ciega, Sordomuda" is one of her most iconic songs 😊😊 (actually, I think that almost all of us Latinos listen to it at least once in our lives lol)
Love the react!!!! He had his mistress in their house in her bed, her clothes and ate her food while they were still married. The house where they were raising the kids. And the tax thing was him she won that court tried to stick it on her. She’s a queen great revenge song!!!
Let me know if you have any more Latin music recommendations! I've been wanting to get into it for a while now
A few years ago I commented in some of your videos that I hoped you made a reaction to Rosalía, so I thought you weren't into Latin music.
More Sebastian Yatra! He has more songs than the one from Encanto
React to Angela Aguilar! She’s the daughter of a Mexican legend Pepe Aguilar. She’s young and her new song Que Agonía is a banger !
Selena!!!!!!!!
Rosalía and more of the Producer of this song, BZRP!
She sings
CLARAmente = clearly ("Clara" the name of the mistress)
SalPIQUE = Splash ("Piqué" the cheater)
She outting their names in the song.
So she is profiting out of the cheater and misstress,
That's just another level of iconic
Also when he cheated the other girl was 22, so she says she is worth 2 22-year-olds.
At exactly 2:22 of the video hahaha. Didn’t notice it at first but someone pointed it out. I just lmao 🤣.
And the pause also makes it seem like go away Pique as sal means leave and depending on tone can also come off as get out.
@@calmsleep64 yup! I live in Europe and Pique 's(the cheater) soccer/football number is 3. The song lasts exatly 3:33 minutes.

HEY TRISTANN omggg a Spanish song this is so exciting!!!!
Hey! That song her and Rhianna did a few years ago was AMAZING!!! Did you forget about that? Badass song!
This song literally just makes me want to learn Spanish just to be able to sing along. 🤣 love her Spanish music. Sad it's not more well known than the more mainstream English songs.
For me, nothing will ever screams "she is more relevant and bigger than anyone else" than her line "you changed a rolex to a casio" proceeded by her ex actually being sponsored by casio few days before and IN THE SAME DAY THAT HAPPENED casio stock market crash so hard it was legendary
And they had to write a letter stating that they are not sponsoring Pique 🫢
"The Weeknd meets stranger things vibes" got me hahahahaha. Shakira is huge in the latin industry and despite the drama or whatever the song is fire 🔥 I mean the lyrics are so well written and the beat is super cool! Thanks Tristan 4 reacting to this!
Your attempt of singing Hips Don't Lie at 0:16 is killing me. You're too hilarious!! 🤣
omg i choked
Finally the reaction I needed to see but the English subtitles don’t really say some things right like in Spanish but overall this song is a masterpiece it went to 22mil views in just 2 days
Bizarrap is an Argentinian producer and his sessions are really famous and amazing! You should react to some of them. Like Quevedo or Villano Antillano.
From Spain, we 💖 Bizarrap, Villano Antillano, Snow, Residente... And this session Bzrp - Shakira (in Spanish is 💥)
She’s like “mic drop, bye!” At the end 🤣
Every song she releases in Spanish becomes a huge hit in Latin America, she is pretty awesome and her ex is truly a garbage person
I have been obsessed with this song since it came out. I just love it.
Just some tea about the song, her ex Pique cheated on her with a girl named Clara. So there are some word plays in the song with their names. “Clara mente no es cómo suena” she breaks up the word claramente to say the mistresses name Clara. Claramente means clearly in Spanish by the way.
WOOO LETS GO!!! love the SHADE
Americans they dont understand that Shakira is a Global artist. They think that she is a One hit Wonder but she’s been making music all of these years but mostly in spanish and you if u dont know latín music makes a lot of money Too.
YAAAS! Al fin canción en español!
You should listen to her 90s music
tristan NEEDS to react to the bzrrp music sessions.
I miss her trade mark vibrato in this, but her clear, strong higher notes sound so good.
These lyrics just kill it! Brilliant!
5:47 that's the idea hhahahaha the Bizarrap sessions are supposed to be improvised in one day. The beat is already planned out by Biza and the rapper/singer makes up a song and vocals in a day :)
I just finished watching a couple that are Vocal Coaches as well and they said they exact same thing you said about her having that unique voce. The guy said he was waiting to hear that unique Shakira sound and on the part you just mentention at 4:40 is the exact same part he said that is were you hear it at. That it is so rare for an artist to be recognized as soon as you hear that unique sound. They said all artist want that.
A while back she had to get vocal surgery and she lost her voice for a bit, that might be why her voice sounds a bit different to you. Regardless, as a Shakira stan, her discography in Spanish (which is the majority of her discography lol) is actually extremely diverse (which makes sense because it's her native language) and I definitely recommend anyone check it out ! She's done so many different genres throughout the years. She's been famous in Latin America since she was like 18, and she's consistently released music in Spanish that has pretty much made her a landmark artist in the Spanish-speaking world and internationally, except the US pretty much. For example, I would argue that 'Hips Don't Lie', for example, is probably one of her worst songs (not to say that it's bad at all, I don't think it is, but it goes to show how different it is between one language/world vs the other).
I have always thought that her voice in english and in spanish sound compleatly different (also because she must feel more comfortable writting in spanish) so thats why i think that people that are not hispanic are not so aware of her last hits but she has never stopped being relevant for us :)
I would love a video of you reacting to more of her last songs in spanish or even the ones you know in spanish because they are amazing
You've not heard from Shakira one of the biggest world superstars since Hips don't lie? She Wolf? Waka waka? Can't remember to forget you? La La La Brazil 2014? Chantaje? Interesting. Check out more of her things over the past 30 years, she's very versatile with her voice
She's literally had some of the biggest singles in Latin music the last few years! Loved her collabs with Maluma
Thid song and video actually has a lot of Easter eggs, and we're LIVING FOR IT
This is the Shakira we Latinos know, she is versatile, and she has sounded like this in a lot of other songs. She is a QUEEN! And I get that here people do not follow her career through the years, but el que sabe, sabe
FINALLY!!! Omg I’ve been waiting years for you to react to a Spanish song!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Please do more of these!! 🎉😊
honestly i wish i had a music teacher when i was in middle school, thank you @Tristan Paredes you make me so happy please make more true crime/ music advice technique
I noticed a lot of people were commenting on Shakira's amazing wordplay and focus on numerology, and I just wanted to add, Shakira is insanely brilliant. I don't know that much about her, but I do know she's constantly seeking to learn more about herself, her voice, the world, everything, and it's obvious with this song (if it wasn't already obvious with the hundreds of songs prior to this) that she will call shit out when she sees it and she isn't interested in taking prisoners. I can't believe that two of the best songs in the past few years - this and "Flowers" - were both released within days of each other.
Shak in Spanish is incredible, a whole level of her own. I highly encourage you to listen to her spanish songs
Early 2000? Where are you living? Under a rock for sure. She's been killing it ever since the 90s.
por fin tristan hace una reacción a una artista latina :)))) ojalá siga por este camino
There's something really nice about hearing a singer rip someone a new asshole in their mother tongue. The emotions are just so raw and the word play is hella interesting usually.
Omg it's unbelievable how Americans have been missing out on Shakira's Music, she has been well known all around the world for making huge hits for more than 30 years, she's literally the definition of a Global superstar.
I think you should listen more of Shakira balads..of course she improve over the years, but it's not a surprise for latin Americans that she has an amazing and versatil voice 🤗
Ok I’m colombian and I feel the urge to jump in and say: 1. Finally a song in Spanish!! 2. Get ready bc the tea is just starting 💅🏼
So a few things that would only be noticeable if you know Spanish: when she says “sorry if it splashes you”, in spanish is “sal-PIQUE”… which is the name of her ex. And theeen… when she says “clearly”, in spanish is “CLARA-mente”, which is the name of Pique’s new gf 💅🏼
Bizarrap (Bzrp but pronounced bee-za-rap) is a famous producer and he does a 1-time song (called session) with various singers. He is pretty huge in LATAM 🫡
la forma en que pronunció "bzrp" en 2:40 jajajjajaja ily tristan
Aw yey you did it 😍 she has so many amazing songs. Monotonía, te felicito,me gusta (to do with pique too) she's a reina ❤️
you should listen to more of her spanish music, new and old it’s all sooo good and she’s soooo much more than the English world knows her for !
It's artists like Shakira that show that you can't judge someone's music by just title tracks. B sides are like their heart and soul. Title tracks feel more like a sneak peek.
Shakira is Shakira 👑💃🏻❤️🎶🎼🎵👌🏼💥
I think Tristan needs a lot more of context of the relationship that Shakira had bc every line is a direct reference to him and his new gf AND SHE LET IT ALL BURNNNN like she says in Spanish "no es mi culpa que te sal-PIQUE" and her ex's surname in Piqué 🫣😬🤪👀 HAHAHHA or she says "tiene nombre de persona buena, CLARA-mente no es como suena" and the new gf's name is Clara!!! HAHHAHA omg
It's soo weird to hear that someone only knows Shakira from her 2000s English crossover mega-hits lol... While I wouldn't say I'm a huge Shakira fan, since my mom was a huge fan in late 90s and sis was in 2010s, I've heard her quite and bit and respect her not just as a woman but an artist. I highly recommend listening/reacting to her early grunge/pop era (late 90s early 2000s), if not some of her other popular pop songs. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say it is in some ways similar to Alanis morissette, her pop rock era.
Antología, dónde están los landrones, que me quedas tu, ciega sordomuda, estoy aquí are some. For her pop, she wolf would be great to see a reaction from lol. But deja vu, loca, or perro fiel are some other suggestions. Idk it's just that there's a little more to Shakira and other Latin artists who made successful crossover hits
Tristan i need you to get with the times.. Shakira has been making bangers your whole life.. Lets get you on the shakira band wagon please. 1st: te felicito 2: chantaje for starters 💜
Boyyyy you need to get into the latino/hispanic reggeton and ballads because the songs are BANGERS and the tea is always HOT
I was really looking forward to you reacting to Shakira one day but this is totally under researched. you can’t assume what her voice is like from music in English released in the early 2000s. She’s a very skilled artist and singer
I love your observations!!!
So yes I believe that Shakira's native tongue singing is noticably different.. less of that soft pallet sound used. Her English, I believe it she used her iconic sound like every line, every song. I have been a fan for many many years & I think her voice has changed but maintained HER sound. Like Britney has that sound when she sings.
5:14 Also notice how she splits ‘claramente’ (translates to clearly) - clear mention to her ex’s new gf - CLARA!
Bizarrap is an argentine producer that started doing sessions in his room and later had his room rebuilt in Miami and Spain (I think) where international singers could film their sessions. You should check some others like Nicki Nicole or Nathy Peluso.
The fact she's big in even middle east, europe, south asia and pacific yet not huge in US, it's so weird. She's headlined shows for the World Cup yet people thought JLo was the bigger artist in Superbowl.
shakira came her moment she said no way momma i ain’t gonna be disrespected and ima let y’all know! u go girl!!!!!!
Shakira can change her voice to sound any way she wants, depending on the song. She does have that distinct gloteral sound to her voice. Shakira has never stopped putting out music. She has lately dropped two other songs that correspond to the same theme as this one. The songs are "Monotonia" & "Te Felicito". In addition, she performed at the Superbowl with JLo in 2020. It's one of the best Superbowl performances ever. You should check it out.
Bizzarap is one of the best producers in latín América, you need to react more songs from him
Shakira doesn’t need to prove anything to the USAmerican market anymore. She is a global artist. She’s being making hits since the past century, but she’s latina! “That’s her problem”
I can't even lie I didnt even recognize her at all she don't look like the same HIPS DON'T LIE ( SHAKIRA ) we all know & love but man she looks good is it me or does she look like she's getting even younger? Well whatever she doing KEEP DOING IT GIRL, also this song slaps 👍👅💋👢 she's obviously still been working hard bc I haven't seen her since years ago I mean she was doing her thing before she crossed over to english but for some reason I like this better... kinda like my girl SELENA ( we miss u RIP beautiful soul ) everyone loved her how could u not she was amazing no matter what way she sang she was so talented such a beautiful lovely young lady gone to soon at the hands of a selfish person she's greatly missed love to see u do one on her TRISTAN ( don't remember if u have u might have) but If so maybe do another song of hers bc we need to celebrate her more!!
Imagine reacting to this song after not properly listening to any of her actual great songs in the past 20 years and like it. You should react to her superbowl performance and be blown away by her talent.
One of my fav songs of her is "No" and "Don't Bother". Not the most famous ones but the vocals are CRAZY.
And this one... my husband says he just can't listen to it no more 🤣😅
I Just know Tristan is loving the drama
i cant believe u guys haven’t heard about shakira in a long while 😳 here in latin america she is MASSIVE
3:24 look at the mic when she pulls her arm down!
"damn, bizurp really kills it with that piano" LMAO
First time listening to this song, happy to be able to reach to it for the first time together with Tristan, though I'm clearly late to the party 😂🎉 this song be so banging too!
I think you have to listen to The Weeknd - Starboy [Stranger Things C418 Remix]. Even The Weeknd acknowledged this mashup himself.
If you think this song is aggressive, you've to listen "Si te vas", which is waaaay more aggressive than this one haha.
Also I recommend you "Ciega, Sordomuda" is one of her most iconic songs 😊😊 (actually, I think that almost all of us Latinos listen to it at least once in our lives lol)
sometimes I could hear her saying Pique in Spanish but i read the comments and im not wrong. she did mention Pique
This was iconic. PS: ily ❤
So excited to see u reacting to thiss
Love the react!!!! He had his mistress in their house in her bed, her clothes and ate her food while they were still married. The house where they were raising the kids. And the tax thing was him she won that court tried to stick it on her. She’s a queen great revenge song!!!
finally someone appreciates her voice and her talent in this song without caring about the romantic situation
Niceee!!! Saludos desde Latinoamérica 🤗
401 million in just one month it's insane
