Shakira triumphs Paris!,

This review is from: En Vivo Desde Paris (CD/DVD) (Audio CD)
For starters, Shakira is an EXPERIENCE.
I was fortunate enough to see Shakira's last show in the USA on her SUN COMES OUT TOUR in Chicago. I had only seen Shakira live on TV and on her DVDs and was impressed, but seeing her in the same room and performing in front of your two eyes is like a religious experience.
This concert, filmed live at Bercy in Paris is her best. Not many international artists receive such a welcome by the French (save perhaps Celine Dion and Barbra Streisand) and the French expect the best. Not to mention, this is her best live album to date.

As far as I can tell, she hasn't changed a note in her own favourite, Inevitable, since the MTV unplugged concert, and Si te vas, and Ciega sordomuda are similarly steadfast reminders of the good old days.
A lovely new feature is the medley made of A'tini al-Nay (an Arabic song she used to sing as a child), the Metallica cover Nothing else matters, and her own Despedida from the Love in the times of cholera soundtrack. Travel around the world in just a few minutes. Within the same "acoustic" setting is a much-improved version of Gipsy.

I enjoy shakira anytime but the camera just keeps cutting to different angles or people to fast , I found it a bit bothersome to watch , it made me a bit nausios to watch . Some of the music is english , some french , some spanish . I still prefer laundry service .
