20. Las de la Intuicion (Fijación Oral, Vol. 1, 2005)
“It is really very awesome song… I even like its English version… It is mesmerizing song and one of the Shakiras best… This is the best song of her… It’s so her and she is so DAMN sexy in this video.”
19. Men in This Town (She Wolf, 2009)
“This song is definitely one of her best songs! It’s so catchy, fantastic and the lyrics are just perfect! I love that at the end she sings a couple of lines in Spanish.”

16. Don’t Bother (Oral Fixation Vol. 2, 2005)
“This song literally pulls my soul out of my body. It’s such a good song with these lyrics that are understandable. It’s one of the greatest breakup songs ever and the best Shakira song ever”
15. Hay Amores (Love in the Time of Cholera: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, 2007)
“he Latin melody is equally melancholy and gives me chills every time I hear Shaki’s voice moaning the lyrics with her gorgeous thick vibrato. “Hay Amores” to me is easily her best Spanish song ever and unfortunately very few people know about this gem, because it only appears on a soundtrack, and her own EP of the three songs she contributed to that soundtrack. More Shaki fans need to be aware of this golden great.”
14. La Tortura (Fijación Oral, Vol. 1, 2005)
“I have no clue what she’s saying literally because I am not a Spanish speaker, however this song has so much emotion and everything from her and Alejandro’s vocals, to the instrumentation is flawless. I feel like even though I don’t know the words, I still know what the song is about because I can feel it through the music. Beautiful art! And seldom do non-American songs break down the language barrier that exists in American media and reach the American audience- this song shatters it and captivates me!”
13. Objection (Tango) (Laundry Service, 2001)
“My favorite of Shakira is Objection. Love the tempo of the song, not too fast and not too slow, also it is really catchy! The lyrics are fairly easy to recognize!”
12. Empire (Shakira, 2014)
” This is literally her best song. Not only hers, but also one if the best songs ever. Her voice, the way she sing it, the background music, everything blends so well together.”
11. Gypsy (She Wolf, 2009)
“The melody is just the type I like because, you know, it’s good. The song is just so soothing to listen to when I’m just relaxing and bored. Love the way she nips the words with her voice then fades away!”
10. Ojos Asi (Dónde Están los Ladrones?, 1998)
“The lyrics are amazing. This song is loud, it is a mixture of rock n’ roll and Arabic music. It sounds like a recent song. This song makes you want to dance forever. It’s one of the best songs of all time. It’s very unique very different.”
9. Illegal (Oral Fixation Vol. 2, 2005)
“I’m a rock n roll, punk, metal loving girl, but when I first heard this on the radio, I was completely in love and next time I was on a computer, I typed in part of the lyrics to find out what song it was. “You said you’d love me until you die, but as far as I know you’re still alive”. Not a lot of people can’t relate to that. Not to mention her voice, it’s such a nice change from all the standard female voices in the mainstream music culture these days.”
8. Loca (Sale el Sol, 2010)
“Not only is it a fantastic song, but the music video is amazing! Shakira is a genius. She’s pretty, energetic and gorgeous. Loca makes me want to dance! She has the most amazing songs and the most amazing voice. Keep it up Shakira!”
7. Beautiful Liar (B’Day, 2006)
“That’s mix and compersion between Shakira and Beyonce but Shakira wins in finally and she has great other songs like hips don’t lie and waka this time for Africa and she have a good sense in song and a different voice no one can do like she means finally Shakira is the best singer I have seen in my life thank you!”
