I'm never good with first listens... I'm VERY bad and annoying with songs when I hear them for the first time. I RARELY like them... out of ten songs I will like one or maybe two at the MOST =/ It suxs... I really don't like that about myself but oh well... so I thought maybe I should give it some time before I write some kind of review or something... but this isn't really about that. I don't want to review the album (I would never dare... I really don't think I'd be good at it), I just... f*ck I just need to say some things =P

Aaaah... *sighs* well, the only thing I can say is that... well, she was bound to f*ck up sooner or later. She's spent over ten years hitting home runs... time after time.. she's only human, this was bound to happen. I mean it's not HORRIBLE but it's not Shakira, as far as I'm concerned. I'm all for letting artists experiment with new genres and mixing different things together and GROWING with their musical sound. But she's gone totally off the line, she's lost that taste that would give every song a Shakira factor... she's moved on to something completely different and (well to me at least) it doesn't work (I felt like I was listening to Kylie Minogue...) . I loved 'Loba' (yes, the spanish version not the english one) and 'Did it again' (yes the english verison, not the spanish one) but it wasn't until 'Gypsy' came on that I felt I could breathe. Maybe it will grow on me with time... once I get used to the "new sound" (although GOSH I'm so totally hating this new 'electronic' sound that's out there lately...) but that first impression was shocking. It was almost painful... and I'd never had that while listening to Shaki before.

Ah man it hurts me to write this... it really does =P I DO still love her though, this is not gonna make me any less of a fan. I know she's a genius, but she's only human... we are never always going to get it right, it's OK. As far as I'm concerned anyway... she could quit music tomorrow and to me it'd be totally fine. She's already done MORE THAN ENOUGH. She's over-proven herself. Ans she's still awesome but.... ay Shakiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...........

Y para poner las cosas peor no va a sacar un album en espanol... (p*ta madre...)

- As soon as I walked into the arena... I was in SHOCK. I did NOT expect to get the chance to be THAT close to the stage. I was pretty much on the second/third row. I could not believe how close she was. I could see every feature of her face... unbelievable.

- Britney Spears is a DORK. The girl is FUNNY. She makes faces and plays around A LOT. Very VERY cute =D

- She's a normal girl, and I actually wasn't expecting that. You see her and you don't see a celebrity, or an icon, or a diva, or a star... she's just a girl. And I have to say I prefer it that way.

- The Lip-synching was SHAMELESS, she did not even try to make it look as if she could be singing live. (But well... when you get something either you make the most of it or just f*ck off ;))

- She doesn't dance as much as she used to, but it's RARE (almost impossible) to find someone that can make almost every single one of their movements perfect. The woman OWNS the stage.

- My favourite moment: Her baby (Jayden) was sitting right in front of the stage (I saw him, VERY close and he's a CUTIE). When she saw him there she stopped for a second to smile, wink at him and wave. Cutest thing EVER.

- The show is RIDICULOUS, in the sense that it's so bloody awesome I think I spent most of the time with my mouth at least half opened. What I loved the most about it was that it was not JUST a concert, there was not JUST music and dancing... it WAS a circus. There were acts, there were acrobats (UNBELIEVABLE...),magic tricks (HOW the hell did they do those tricks...?) and clowns... the production is to die for.

- Her voice (not singing, just her regular voice) is very cute and childish, she sounds like a 16 year old... lol.

Look it's VERY simple... I have always and will always be totally fascinated with magic, and when something is perfect that's what happens. I don't care how well (or not) she can sing, I don't care what she's done (it's her business, why should I?), I don't care what the media says or any of that stuff (yeah seriously... meh...), and I don't care if after reading this you'll think I'm a fan (Ah... so many memories...). All I know is that she can make magic, and that (and that alone) is what I'm fascinated by. =)
