Shakira dedicates nominations to U.S. Latinos

Shakira, recently nominated for 7 MTV Music Awards, has moved the U.S. Latino community by dedicating the honors to Latinos in this country:
Shakira dedicated her seven MTV Video Music Awards nominations to the Latino community in the United States.“I too am one of them,” the 29-year-old singer said Thursday as part of her “Oral Fixation” world tour.
That’s sweet of Shaki, and I guess she means it in the “you are part of me” figurative sort of way, since she’s not from the U.S. I hope she hasn’t forgotten where she came from.
Speaking of which, if I were a fan excited about Shakira’s U.S. tour I’d be disappointed to hear that…
Shakira has been singing mostly in Spanish while touring Latin America but will switch largely to English when the U.S. leg of the tour opens Aug. 9 in El Paso, Texas.
No thanks. I miss classic pre-English Shakira.
