          Too many covers. It's not really a "pop album". :coffee

          It won the Latin Grammy for Folk Album. A more "traditional" category.

              With songs like Chantaje, La Bicecleta, Me Enamoré and Perro Fiel? YES!

              With songs like NTNY, Ax3 + lots of lipsynching? I'm afraid not...

                    Perro Fiel was a bop, and El Dorado was a good album, but Grammy worthy? I think not.

                            That's true. But the voting members of the Academy only watch televised performances I think. The 4th of July performance was pretty good.

                            The thing is... Jen has a bad reputation when it comes to singing live. That's why I want her to sing live more often (on TV). No pre-recorded vocals. Just her and her background singers. Then maybe people will take her more seriously as a singer.

                              Sis... Shakira released an album full of her featurings... her album isn't that original.

                                I think that Shakira deserves this Grammy. She played her cards right to get this, it didn't just happen for her.

                                1) The album actually had popular singles;
                                Chantaje (US Latin songs #1 for 11 weeks, Spain #1, Germany #20), Me Enamore ( US Latin Songs #4, Spain #3, France #13), Perro Fiel (US Latin Songs #6, Spain #3)

                                2) Really strong streaming of the singles
                                Chantaje - Over 2billion Youtube views
                                Me Enamore - Over 500 million YouTube views
                                Perro Fiel - Over 400 million YouTube views

                                3) Respectable Chart positions and sales
                                US Latin #1
                                Spain #2
                                France #4
                                Italy #12
                                US #15

                                4) A world tour to accompany the album.

                                5) Relatively positive reviews

                                If Jen had similar success and acclaim with her album she might actually get a nomination. But thanks to her neglect of NTNY and AAA it's not looking likely.

                                      Oh, yeah! She can't carry a note, but she's so successful, she deserves it. Success doesn't equal talent one bit.

                                        And La Bicicleta (while not on the album) was accused of being plagiarized. Plus, she's always lip syncing.

                                          This is the proof that charts matter most lately. This album winning in that category is a joke. It’s a shame she wins with such mediocre material when she used to record, mature and deep music years ago (eg. Fijación oral).

                                            Now that I think about it, you're right. Laundry Service was really good, and if any of her material deserved a Grammy or two, it was that era, and possibly her earlier stuff. Now, she's just basically producing stuff that you can hear from any other Latin artist of today. The charts have mattered the most overall, not just in that category. She's won like 15 or 16 Grammys. She might would be worthy of 1 or 2, but more than Gloria Estefan? More than Celia Cruz? More than Jenni Rivera (though, she's won none)? Come on.

                                              Ni tu ni yo and amor are mo better songs than shakiras singles, but just because they didn t chart good it makes them bad songs?

                                              How funny is this forum sometimes.

                                              Shakira can be great, but this must be her
                                              Worst album to date.

                                                Lol at y'all acting dumb. Everyone here knows how the game works. Charts don't determine Grammys, but it does help determine what's on their radar. The stuff Jen has been releasing has been on no award shows radar. Do u think if desposito was a flop it would be getting nominated for anything?

                                                I can't believe that some of you are actually trashing her vocal ability when every other fan base does that to Jen.

Charts don't determine Grammys, but it does help determine what's on their radar. The stuff Jen has been releasing has been on no award shows radar. Do u think if desposito was a flop it would be getting nominated for anything?

                                                  I can't believe that some of you are actually trashing her vocal ability when every other fan base does that to Jen.
                                                  Except that a lot of us fans know that J.Lo isn't the best singer in the world. For the other fans of her and other fan bases, they're quite deluded. Saying that Shakira deserves Grammys due to success is like saying Jake Paul is the G.O.A.T. Haven't you figured out that Grammys don't define talent?

                                                    The simple answer is both.
