Shakira Is Amazed By Her Success In America
Shakira told RCN Columbia, while taking a vacation in her hometown Barranquilla, that she is amazed with the success in the U.S. She says, “It’s exciting to walk around places like Chicago and see people yelling Shakira! But I still don’t believe in the word ‘crossover’, I don’t really like that word. The American pop market is too stereotypical. They either accept the blonde popstar with the choreography and sexy clothes, or the girl that plays her instrument and writes her own music. Everything out of those parameters is ignored, which is very sad, and makes artists to change their own style. Now you see pop singers trying to sing rock, hip-hop and whatever is in at that time. There are also many Latin singers that had failed their crossovers caused by these stupid stereotypes. Many of them don’t play their instrument or write their own music, but that doesn’t mean they are talentless. Charisma and originality are the keys to success.”
