Shakira
Profession: Singer
Birthday: February 9, 1977
Hometown: Barranquilla, Colombia
Highlights: Albums (US): Laundry Service
Why she'll be #1: Already a superstar in her native Colombia, Shakira is introducing us to an entirely new breed. The gringos aren't used to the unassuming pop diva who focuses on music first and it's quite refreshing after scores of Britney wannabes have flooded the scene. Her voice is awesome and so is her body.
Why she won't be #1: For all her talent and beauty she hasn't yet made enough noise to break into the heavyweight division.
Viper's Prediction: For a newcomer, she should make an impressive showing. I predict somewhere around the top 15.
