To my utter astonishment this week's issue commited a whole page to Shakira:
The Crossover Queen
I can't seen any link between her and the Economist group that would explain cross-promoting; they seem to actually take her seriously. Is there more to diva-pop than annoying mannerisms and synth'ed melismas that I'm missing here ? Old-age horniness of the editorial staff ? Are the boardrooms dropping any elitist pretenses of enyoing modal solos over 'trane changes and show their true taste ? I still think that the last last blonde bombshell with a good voice is Dee Snider from Twisted Sister, so could anyone on the board educate us whether something interesting happened in pop since the eighties ?
