11. Shakira
Like many South Americans, singer Shakira was raised Catholic and attended Catholic school. Interestingly enough, she was rejected from her school’s choir as the instructor said she sounded like a “bleating goat.” Shakira is a woman of many talents, from singing to songwriting to dancing – and she has a genius level IQ. Her music shows great range, from a recording a duet with Beyonce to quoting the Lord’s Prayer in her song “How Do You Do You.” Shakira is a prominent figure in Latin America, speaking out on issues such as poverty; she also has spoken up over feeling “Catholic guilt” when she goes shopping. But the jury is out on how devout she is – and it’s easy to see why. The way she shakes her hips has garnered almost as much attention as Elvis Presley.
