SHAKIRA

My favourite singer is Shakira. She was born in Barranquilla, Colombia. She is 37 years old and now, she is very happy because she and her boyfriend had their first son, Milan. I don't like that name. Her boyfriend is the FC Barcelona player, Gerard Piqué. I like him. 

She sings and composes many types of music: pop, rock, etc. Her last single 'Can't remember to forget you' is my favourite but I like 'La Tortura', ' Ojos así' and 'Waka-waka' too.

I love the way Shakira dances. She dances very fast and very good, it's incredible!
