Shakira Performs at American Music Awards

Shakira performed at the American Music Awards and man are criticizing her for going down the route of copying Beyonce.
It’s not the first time she has been accused of that, but it just keeps getting more and more obvious.
The performance itself was alright with the stepping but for the most part Shaki didn’t wow the audience.

Definitely not her best performance, but much better than the train-wreck, JLo’s horrible song.
Shaki should have done more dancing!

Shakira was just a hot mess! I expected more from her… Love her but this is not a good style for her! Looks like Beyonce and everyone else! From what I was reading too some college students who practice stepping were offended Shakira attempted this cause she seemed out of place. Looked uncomfortable and awkward.

How is she copying Beyonce exactly? If you don’t recall Beyonce is the one that has been copying Shakira for some time now… So for whoever is criticizing they need to go back and so some homework. Can’t say that this is Shakiras best performance she should have gone with I did it Again, but i dont see where she is copying Beyonce.

Her performance left me waiting / wanting for more. It just didn’t have any kick too it – all the dancing and excitement came from the dancers. Where was the Shakira that could captivate people with her moves. She was stiff and blah.

Por que el los MTV awards Bejonce salio con un monton de bailarinas mujeres igual que lo hizo Shakira… no se que le pasa ella puede dar mucho mas … el tema de querer mostrarse mas sexual ha hecho que pierda lo natural y sensual que solcia ser … es una pena tiene mucho talento ar estar perdiendo el tiempo en perderse en coreografias por que esta preocupada de poner cara y mas nada

Y’all blind or what? She’s totally mimicking Sasha Fierce, down to her comment about her new album being “for the single gals.” Uh-huh. Real original. She needs to fire her management and take another route fast or she WILL be another JLO in a matter of years.
Also, she’s half Arab, so she could get back to THOSE roots and still be fresh and hot.

@Nia & Alma: Its not just stepping its other stuff too and I’m not the only one who thinks this. Ok she not trying to be black, and no just cause shes latina doesn’t mean she needs to just sing or dance in “spanish”, but this new style she is experimenting with doesn’t suit her. All I’m saying is she’s known for her latin rock & exotic sounds and no that doesn’t mean that all her songs have to sound the same. Just my opinion.
Thats what I get for trying to keep my comment short & to the point.(LOL)

I agree with Nia and Alma. Isaiah, Shakira still had her exotic sounds. PABLO…Are YOU blind?! Shakira was SHAKIRA before beyonce’s whole Sasha Fierce crap! Haven’t you been watching Beyonce’s transformations over the yrs?? Beyonce’s changed more into Shakira..not the other way around sweetie. She loves Shakira that’s why she wanted her to feature on her song Beautiful Liar..now since then ppl been saying she’s trying to be like Beyonce when Beyonce’s the one trying to be like Shakira with the belly dancing and stuff….please ppl get it right!
P.S….since when stepping was a BLACK thing!!?? The ignorance. SMH
