Shakira: a sensational

Shakira who sung the  Waka Waka song for fifa 2010 has a big history which clearly shows that there is no substitute for hard work. 

  Shakira was born on February  2nd 1977 in Barranquilla, Columbia. Shakira's father is originally from the United States, born in New York City, at the age of 5 his family moved to Sincelejo from New York City then relocated to Barranquilla. Shakira wrote her first poem when she was 4 years old. She got a type writer as her Christmas gift in 1984. When she was eight years old her father declared his bankruptcy. She was sent to Los Angeles for a while. When she returned she found out that most of the land they owned were sold. She was devastated.

To show that things could be worst her father took her to a nearby orphanage and showed them the scenes there. When Shakira saw them they left a deep impression in Shakira.  She said she would help them when she became a famous artist. At the second grade she was rejected by the school choir because her voice was like a goat. She did her first album Magia when she was only 13 years old. Shakira's second studio album Peligro was released in March, but Shakira was not pleased with the final result, mainly taking issue with the production. The album was better received than Magia, though it was also considered a commercial failure due to Shakira's refusal to advertise it. Shakira then decided to take a hiatus from recording so that she could graduate from high school. In the same year, Shakira starred in the Colombian TV Series "The Oasis", loosely based on the Armero tragedy in 1985. Since then, the albums have been pulled from release and are not considered official Shakira albums but rather promotional albums. From there on nothing stoped Shakira as she performed Pies Descalzos and The Remixes in 1995 to 1997. She became an international singer in 2001 when she sang the solo English song "whenever wherever". She even performed at the world cup finals in Germany 2006. She is now an international singer. A girl who was thrown out of the school choir for singing like a goat , through her determination topped the world.
