Shakira Oral Fixation Tour [Blu-ray]

For my first concert Blu-Ray, I picked this, and I feel pretty much any other concert film I see/buy will somehow always fail to live up to this experience.Seriously. The combination of an amazing performance, vivid visuals and crystalline sound was, in a word, thrilling.Let me get the technical stuff out of the way.The Hi-Def picture is outstanding, only having a bit of difficulty during scenes lit in a certain hue of red. Otherwise, the "you are there" feeling is overwhelming. Faces in the crowd, dazzling light spectacles, certain glee-filled glances from Shakira...The sound is, as expected, terrific. Crowd noise envelopes appropriately...although the filmmakers decide to reign in some of the singalongs so we can better hear the artist herself. Wise choice, as the initial emotional swell, like in "Antologia" is tremendously effective, but you don't want to hear it for the whole song.The stage has an aural three-dimensionality to it.Now, the performance itself. Volcanic. I found myself thinking during the show, that I can think of no other superstar that demonstrates such breadth of talent in such a short period of time. She sings, she dances, she plays guitar and harmonica...she does a ballet thing, she does lots of belly-dancing-like moves...some more hip-hop ("Hips Don't Lie") and some more traditional ("Ojos Asi").She is absolutely engaged with her audience; there is a phenomenal mutual attraction going on here. Listen to the roar when she starts "Pies Descalzos". That song may not be as well known to her English-speaking fans, but here it will cause anyone who hears it for the first time to seek it out. It will become your new favorite song based on her infectious, enthusiastic performance. It's awesome.There are some songs that are traditional Latin ballads, other rock out like she's channeling her inner AC/DC.She hits vocal notes that'll send chills down your spine. One song impossibly has all three..."Inevitable".There are guest spots that amp up the energy. Alejandro Sanz comes in on "La Tortura" and the place comes unglued. The song is positively molten hot; they have chemistry to burn. Plus, her chest and her hips seem to move completely independently of one another, and you can't take your eyes off of her.This is not one disc you can leave on in the background while you clean the house or read a magazine. I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen.Wyclef Jean appears for "Hips Don't Lie", the joyous finale to the concert. Shakira dances with such abandon that at one point, I was worried she would dislocate several major joints simultaneously. The grin on your face will match the huge, glorious smile on hers...Shakira herself looks absolutely beautiful here, and the cameras take every opportunity to show her off. The number of close-ups on her 1) face, 2) breasts, 3) belly and 4) posterior is a number far too large to fathom, but from this guy's point of view, it wasn't enough. : )Come on, nobody moves like Shakira, and when those non-lying hips fly around like that, it's hypnotic. And based on the crowd's response, I'm not alone.She exhibits a refreshing pleasure in the sheer act of "entertaining"; it reminded me a lot of Springsteen actually. It's an unfettered joy of entertaining an audience so completely that the experience elevates itself to a level higher than a simple "I'll play music, you cheer" regular concert. The Rolling Stones know how to put on a show, but you never feel as if they "need" to do this.It feels like Shakira needs to perform in the same way she needs to breathe. She's a force of nature...Trust me: you can't WAIT to see this.

El DVD llegó en excelentes condiciones. Un agregado más a mi colección de Shakira.

Back in 2012 I worked at a high end A/V store when I saw a loop from a Demo Disc.When Shakira's performance showed up, I have never heard of her.First Disc I purchased was the DVD format, since I had bought a Blu-ray I had to purchase this version.This is by far my fav Live version of Shakira, the magical chemistry of the musicians on that tour is very impressive!Highly recommended!

I've been a Shakira's fan since the very beginning of her career. I admire her as a singer and as a person and I believe that Shaki, more than anyone, deserves the recognition she's having right now. I was in the concert and I didn't know they were making a DVD (lucky me!!!!!) It was a surprise when I bought it and I'm very satisfied with both, the spectacle I saw live and now the DVD...I believe is a 5 star and it is much better than the previous tour. Even if you are not a die hard Shakira's Fan, this is one you would like to have. Actually I bought two DVD...one for me and another for my cousin...I gave it to him as a birthday present and he loved it....the bonus CD is also pretty good ;)

I never really cared to watch concerts because the performers usually change how they sing there songs. So I only went to a couple concerts in my lifetime. I am always looking for new good music and decided on this Oral Fixation Tour in the Bluray format and was pleasantly surprised to see a high energy and entertaining show. It was real nice to see someone enjoy what they do and really cares about her fans from the real young to older. It was a real good family show. I ordered another one of her concerts. Real good happy music.

Shakira is worth every penny. She is a down to earth person and a great entertainer. Even though half of the concert is in spanish, the music flows and has such a good beat that you don't mind that you can't understand the lyrics. Shakira's dance moves are eye catching and you can tell that she is having playful fun with the audience. She connects with the audience very well, and they know the words to her songs, and sing along throughout the concert.You can't help but like Shakira and her talented Band which blows you away. This Blu-Ray concert is watchable over and over again without getting old.

This was the first blu-ray concert that I bought. This disk matched with the Motion Smoothness turned ON on my Sony Bravia made it SOOO much better. The Motion Smoothness usually freaks me out cause it makes movies seem real. But with this concert, it was like being right there in the crowd with Shakira. The concert is awesome! Her performance is great!!! Even when she's not singing, her character is so likeable. It's impressive to watch this blu-ray and be able to see all the crowds' faces. Great show, great BD disc. If you like Shakira, buy it!

I am not a Shakira fan nor do I understand Spanish. This collection is a concert performed in Miami and mostly (99%) in spanish. Although with the language barrier, Shakira performed an outstanding performances. As you watch the concert, the progress got better and better. For the blu ray disc version, the picture quality is excellent and the sound quality is super. This disc comes with both Dolby Digital 5.1 and also PCM (uncompressed) 5.1. A good collection for concert collectors.
