The variety of styles, sounds, and most of all Shakira's amazing vocal range, make this CD a "must have". When I hear a few of the tracks, I just have to blast the radio! To say I love it is to fall short of the admiration I have for Shakira as an artist and the ingenuuity I think most tracks represent.

Listen for the humor in some of the songs. You have to understand Spanish well, because it's "fast listening", but the music and words paint pictures.

All songs are the Spanish versions. A great compilation. No new material is presented.

This CD is possibly the best complete CD that I have. When I say complete I mean all of the songs are great and I don't have to skip a song to get to a better one. Shakira's voice is unbelievable and so angelic. I have had other CDs of hers but this is a fantastic compilation.

Shakira, half Lebanese and half Columbian, is a talented songstress who has put out a gem of music with this CD. It's entirely in Spanish, and even if you don't understand Spanish completely, it's absolutely wonderful to listen to, especially if you like Shakira's vocal style. The tempo is upbeat for most of the songs on the CD. Musically, the CD is a really rich mixture of half-Latin and half Lebanese/Middle Eastern flavor.

I highly recommend this cd. You don't have to know the language to appreciate it. The musical arrangements and Shakira's vocals are outstanding. You feel the emotion and passion in each song. It's awesome.

This is a perfect CD to have Shakira's hits collection.. i have been a huge fans of shakira since oral fixations era, so i started to seek her previous hits and I got this album and it is really gerat all songs are gerat.. but I prefer you to get the Live&Off the Record which is her live version of hits collection (she sang more beautiful there) but if u dont want the live version, this is a perfect CD for you. Go get this CD now, especially if you are a Shakira fans .

It is amazing that a girl so young (29) and from a small costal city (Barranquilla) could have so many "exitos" in poco tiempo. As the title suggests, you will not get any English language hits and that is ok. Shakira's pre-Laundry Service music was far superior anyway (aunque Whenever is on this disc en espanol). My only qualm is that the live version of Donde Estan Los Ladrones is presented only. I like the studio version a great deal.

Shakira es una artista genia y este disco pruebala como dicho!

BY FAR THE BEST COLLECTION OF HER SONGS IN SPANISH. HER VOCAL RANGE SEEMS TO ME HITS A BETTER NOTE IN HER (AND MINES) NATIVE TONGUE. A BIT MESSY AT TIMES IN ENGLISH STILL ENJOYABLE. EVERYTHING THAT US LATIN AMERICANS LOVE ABOUT HER IS IN THIS COLLECTION. NOT TO BE OVERLOOKED OR MISSED HER EMOTION, HER SONGWRITING, JUST HER PERIOD.

Every song on this album is perfection, and is even better than her other all spanish CD's because almost all the best songs are on this, that's why it's called Grandes Exitos!( Greatest Hits)

If you love Shakira and her music you never go wrong.
As with any album release you will find really good tracks & a few not as
good as your favorites. Still she has unique style, and voice that really has
it's own place in the music scene. This lovely creature with a special sound makes her stand out
among the existing performers of today. If, you love Shakira's music then you won't be disappointed.
I wish her all the best in everything she does.
