There is scandal related to the latest Shakira video that caused her to have to release a statement.  In response to be ‘objectified she states  “You see baseball players grabbing each other’s asses, and nobody says anything! I don’t think that I put myself in any situation in which I am objectified. “But I do take advantage of, you know, feeling sensual and feeling sexy.
“And I think that is tremendously empowering and is not diminishing in any way. I feel that any woman who is in control, who is in touch with her femininity and sensuality, is a woman that is empowered.”
Alrighty this statement sent me off in search of what sort of video would require such words. Â What I found was a video well filtered of two pop starts shaking their asses against a wall and a load of airbrush. Â Shakira is gorgeous- she has a unique voice and a fabulous style. Â She is smart and despite that silly Voice host nonsense she has maintained herself at a standard- lets face it she could have ended up the modern Charo coochie coochie girl (look it up) but nope- shes a beast.
Rihanna not so much. Â Her vocals never clicked with me her face to stearn and puffed in the wrong places but whatevs, she backs up Shakira in this so its fine as a side dish.
There is nothing less erotic than these two in a bed an I swear I tried to find some sort of arousal factor in their performance but instead it looked like posing for a photo shoot rather than an actual entanglement. Â They’re too old, there was no chemistry and the wall thrust was sexier than the hand on thigh bit the two of them strain with.
Why the complaining? Â Most likely because it was supposed to be sexy and ended up scripted. Â The song itself is typical Shakira, the video is PG- maybe next time we’ll get a rise but not today. Â Vevo disabled the embed, most likely cuz its so lame- so click hereÂ
