** "Donde Estan Corazon" was recorded for a 1994 compilation LP as an attempt to get Shakira popularity after the first two LPs hardly made any impact. A video was shot to promote the track and it ended up getting so popular on Colombian music channels that Sony gave Shakira the chance to make "Pies Descalzos", for which she decided to change her sound. As a result, it's the only track on that LP to use the style of singing she used on her first two LPs, for which her lower range hadn't quite matured.

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: Well she's very acclaimed as a singer and dancer, but her MsFanservice status as a performer tends to overshadow her sometimes. This has also affected a couple of songs.

These entries don't say what's supposedly funny. They're just written as regular complaints.


* {{Narm}}:
** "She-Wolf". While many critics gave high-scored reviews to the song, they still consider the howl [[SoBadItsGood goofy]]. And the lyrics are too weird for their own good. [[NarmCharm Some people think the howl was cute, though.]]
** Given the dubious nature of some of the lyrics in "Whenever, Wherever," it's hardly surprising that she's stuck to a theme. Seriously?
---> "Lucky that my lips not only mumble\\
They spill kisses like a fountain\\
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble\\
So you don't confuse them with mountains"
** "Underneath Your Clothes" has very awkward lyrics. It is likely that the purpose of the song was to continue the "clumsy, eccentric yet sexy foreigner" image she got from "Whenever Wherever". Unusually, there is not a Spanish version of this song.
** "Ojos Asi" and "Eyes Like Yours." Cool songs, but the lyrics are just strange.

* HarsherInHindsight: Shakira had dedicated a lot of songs to soccer player Gerard Piqué, her husband of 12 years, among which include "Me Enamoré", which talks about how much she loves him. In 2022 the couple split up due to Piqué allegedly cheating on her with a younger woman. In April of 2022, Shakira released "Te Felicito", which many have speculated is about her calling out Piqué for his lies.

* VindicatedByHistory: The tracks on her ''Laundry Service'' album are seen in a much better light thanks to twenty years of nostalgia. "Whenever, Wherever" received massive cheers when she performed it at the 2020 Superbowl Halftime Show, and it even reached Number 1 on the charts afterwards!

* NightmareFuel:
** Her incredible flexibility when dancing, especially in the "She Wolf" video, is seen by some as [[BodyHorror disturbingly inhuman]].
** The clip for "La Tortura" not only features the biggest FanDisservice on her career (chest shouldn't move that way! Also, what with all those grease?), but also has a duet with Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz in his ugliest.
** Her guest appearance on the Creator/DisneyChannel KidCom ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace''. In this episode it was revealed that Shakira... is really a [[BrainBleach fat, balding]] [[FetishRetardant middle-aged male]] wizard who's been using magic to [[{{Masquerade}} fake]] being an international pop sensation and sex symbol. Who thought this was a good idea?
