We know the world famous Colombian singer Shakira as someone who cleverly balances on the dividing line between Latin American pop music and the issues of the day. Because of this, she has remained relevant since her international breakthrough in 2002, as this DVD also shows. When Shakira enters the Palais Omnisport in Paris, fans in the front rows burst out as if Maria had appeared to them. Slightly
… exaggerated, although the show that Shakira uses next is one of heavenly proportions. With all her sensual hip movements, reinforced by very tight leather pants, you no longer confuse her with the Holy Virgin halfway through the first song. Yet the Colombian does not only impress with her dance or sex appeal. The structure of her performance is professional, with the right variety of ballads and bangers, and the way she manages to play her French audience in their own language is clever. Calibrated songs such as Whenever, Wherever are also played in refreshing arrangements, making the performance really something more than a live performance of her video clips. Still, Shakira also mimics a number of songs, which is no surprise with all those breathtaking dances that preclude the possibility of singing. This is no problem in a gigantic hall with thousands of people, but it still looks a bit dull at home on the couch.
