Description:

The 23-year-old Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira has become an international star thanks to her rich, emotive voice and thoughtful songs. Her albums Pies Descalzos and Dónde Están Los Ladrones? are platinum in the U.S.; now, as something of a taster before the release of an English-language disc, comes this recording of an acoustic performance for MTV. Shakira's songs translate well to the format; in some ways Unplugged is her most muscular music yet. The opening "Octava Dia" gains punch from its dramatic arrangement, while the elements of traditional music in "Ciega, Sordomuda" are applied with wit and charm. Fans of Sarah McLachlan and Alanis Morissette who haven't caught on to Shakira yet are in for a pleasant surprise when they hear this. --Rickey Wright

5Shakira at her finest  Oct 07, 2006
Im so Passionate about this album. I have such respect and love for the album that its hard to even begin putting things together for this review. The funny thing is that i had listened to Pies descalzos (Shakira's 1st "real" debut album) as a teenager and grew to love the songs it offered. I will never forget the day my sister brought this "Mtv Unplugged" home after a friend from her work allowed her to borrow it. My sister simply dismissed the album as something "out of her taste." I however picked up the album and gave it a listen. I must say that at first, i wasn't listening to all the songs besides Ojos Asi, Donde Estan los Ladrones, and Ciega Sordomuda. "up-tempo beats" I wasn't interested in the ballads so i would instantly skip right threw them. It wasn't until tragedy struck my life that i found myself listening to all the songs coming off the album. I was blown away by the beauty, the raw emotion and energy the Songs fed my aching soul. I was in a very unhappy time in my life and nothing ever made me happy. As odd or even creepy as this may sound, the only thing that helped me forget about the worries and misfortanes of life was this album, "MTV Unplugged: Shakira"

The songs mainly speak of love, hardships and betrayal but some of the songs also indulge into give-and-take politicaly-themed articulation. Octavo dia is my favorite song ever and i can say that with sincerity since it talks about issues pertaining to everyday life.

5cant believe some people give this 1 star  Jun 14, 2005

This is next to Donde estan los ladrones? and Fijacion Oral when it comes to best Shakira CD
She even won a Grammy for this.

3Not Her Best  Apr 05, 2005
I am a huge fan of Shakira, but I have to say this album isn't her greatest by far. The only songs on here that sound good are Octavo Dia,Moscas en la casa,Donde estan los ladrones,No creo and Ojos asi. The majority of the other songs aren't sung very well, and are somewhat incoherent because of backup singers and Shakiras weird way of singing on this album,like in Estoy Aqui on this album.

5This is NOT a copy  Mar 06, 2005
Those saying that this is a copy of DELD are wrong. This is the best of Shakira's songs at the time of making. The purpose of this CD was not to produce a greatest hits album, but to show Shakira's varied style of singing and songwriting.

I found a lot of these songs to be an improvement on the studio versions (espically the slow numbers).

Buy this if you liked Shakira on tour, or want to hear some variety in style. Here's a little tip; the more you listen to it the more it grows on you
