Love It Or Hate It: Shakira's New Album Cover

The cover to Shakira's new album is out...and it's provocative! At first I thought she was nude, then I looked twice and realized that's actually just a nude colored bodysuit.
Shakira is beautiful and I love her music, but the straight hair, and the cage, and the Photoshop and the bodysuit...I'm not sure about it. What about you? Do you love or hate this look for Shakira's new album cover?
Oh, and if you're interested in more details on the actual music, below is info from her website:
We're very excited to confirm that the first single from Shakira's
forthcoming new album is She-Wolf, which will be available worldwide
from July 13th, both as a download and on CD. The Spanish-language
version of the track, Loba, is available now.The full album (title to be announced soon) is due out in October 2009
from Epic, a division of Sony Music. The album features a predominantly
English track list with a follow up album of new and unique repertoire
in Spanish to come in 2010.

It looks way too photoshopped and there's no reason for it to be - she is a gorgeous woman! I think I like her naturally wild hair better, too. LOL But, her body is fabulous - totally jealous!
She is gorgeous, and very sensuous in her videos. She makes me have naughty thoughts.
It looks like she is channeling Beyonce...Shakira come up with something original. The same crap from Beyonce and from her, bodysuit with stockings...gee. I speak spanish read it and write it and I still can't understand what the heck she is singing about.
omg do not even get me started and say Shakira is copying Beyonce. If anything is the total opposite, do research and find out on youtube if anything.
How is that looking like Beyonce anyways? wth
are u crazy?? Did you even listen to her songs Inevitable, Antología, Octavo Día, que me quedes tu etc.????? Im not a native speaker of Spanish but I certainly know that she writes like a POET!!

I love those shoes. I just got them! they are the Balmain Studded Crystal Sandals.
Looks like the cover for her single, She-Wolf, not the whole album. I thought of Madonna when I saw her leotard. I like the cage and attitude though.
OMG i LOVE it!! I think she looks fabulous!! The name of the album is She Wolf and i think this picture suits it very well!! I'll def give it a listen! :)

LOVE her! And I must say she gets props for her cover...
I like her wild hair better, but whatever she likes is ok.
I can't wait to hear the single, she's always full of surprises.
No, her era is not over and it will never be over, she's very talented and sexy.

Love the straight hair...how does this look photoshopped? I dont understand when people say that.
If you look at her butt, where the leotard stops and the skin begins; in an un-photoshopped picture that would not look smooth the way it does. Also the line where her armpit is, that's smoothed into a single line. Her skin looks like its bee smoothed too. It isn't drastically done, you can still see that it's Shakira, but it's not an original picture either.

Hey, thanks for pointing those out for me because i had no idea! Anyway, I still don't see how it is "way too photoshopped" it is just as re-touched as any other photo on album covers or magazines. I don't think people think about how things are read when they type them. Maybe I take things too literally.

she looks great...but what's up with the She-Wolf? The name, and even font of the album title don't seem to match the picture AT ALL..looks like it's just thrown together.....ehh. She's gorgeous though. ***annie***
the whole She Wolf thing is that she's in "disguise" as the song says of a beautiful woman (which in this case = Shaki ) but in reality when the moon comes out she turns into a she wolf =)
Her voice is quite possibly one of the most annoying sounds ever. She sounds like she is performing oral sex while singing. Not trying to be crude BUT thats the best analogy I can come up with.

i agree i think her voice is annoying too. but she does look FANTASTIC in this pic (whether it looks like her or not).
I guess you would know what that would sound like

Gossip Girl Wannabe- the album will definately NOT flop since Shakira is super talented. i will buy it, i'm sooo excited about it.
shakira looks hot on the cover, love the strait hair!

Here, here! So, many haters here....ugh! They wouldn't know talent if it hit them in the face because they're more concerned with shoes.
true dat
the picture is photoshopped, but so are all album cover pics...why are we talking about that?
shakira has the best most original powerful sounding voice...those those who disgrace her voice... well, can you sing? Didn't think so. Are your famous? didn't think so? are you hot? didn't think so?

Love Shakira, she is very talented. this is the cover for her Single and the cover is great for the title - she wolf. The great thing about her hair is that she looks gorgeous with straight, wavy or curly hair. photoshopped? of course!!! who wouldnt photoshopped their picture if it was going to be seen by millions of people, heck i photoshopped my own pics if i dont like the lighting or what not.
Shakira soooo lost herself she used to be a down to earth singer with her black curly hair, barely there makeup and wonderful songs (in spanish way back when) then she started dancing , did her crossover and sold herself and her music has gone downhill ever since

shakira always wore her hair straight even when it was black

Even in her black hair days she wore quite a bit of make up. She made her self look more pale back then though. Have you followed her career at all? If you talk about little makeup you should be talking about her Oral Fixation days.

I like her curly hair more than this style... It's more natural and suits her better.
How could you hate THAT??
14295 points
The straight hair is not a big deal to me. I'm colombian and i have followed her always, and back when she started she had jet black traight silky hair (before the bleach blond curly hair). i love the cover very different & sexy.
The title works good in Spanish, but in English sounds kind of weird, almost like shemale, lol.
Dude, Wtf? KELLY CLARKSON WORE THOSE SHOES IN HER MUSIC VIDEO FOR "I DO NOT HOOK UP!"
Fast forward to 1:53 in the vid:

She's a very attractive woman and a good belly dancer, but she really can't sing at all. She's nasal sounding, her pitch is really terrible and she reaches for octaves that she can't manage.
SHe is Beautiful! I love her dancing, but not so much of her singing.
true dat
Only reason it doesnt really look like her is because she has lots of make up and we havent seen her with it in a while. Which is kind of the point of looking like a She Wolf in disguise.
even if its photoshopped, most album covers are nowadays so what's the big deal? I hate when people over analyze everything. Just look at things how they are and thats it. You can't change the way it is, so suck it up and stop complaining like little girls.
I love her look, and actually if people didn't know since they keep saying that her curly hair looks more natural, her hair is not actually naturally curly, it's black and straight naturally (look at her childhood photos), also back when she was singing in Spanish she always had her straight, or in cool rock like tendrils, not all Latinas have naturally curly hair, only those with very recent African ancesty (shocking for those who didn't realize that yes a huge percentage of Latinos are black).
She is gorgeous and I like her unique voice. I'm probably one of the few who prefers her with her natural dark hair instead of blonde. This album cover does remind me of Madonna.
people need to stop hating, she has an amazing and unique voice, wayyyyy better than beyonce.

She had her teeth done. She has chicklet teeth now and it's thrown the entire symmetry of her face off.
She looked better before trying to look like everybody else. Now she does and there is nothing really unique left.
