View Full Version : Opinions on whether Shakira's vocal on "Hips Don't Lie" is enhanced?

On Shakira's vocal on "Hips Don't Lie" - it has this yodeling quality
and I'm wondering if it's all her or has been tweaked with Autotune or
the like.

Watching "live" performances on Youtube isn't any help since the ones
I've see all appeared to be lip-sync'd to accommodate the fact that
she's dancing.

Anyone know for sure or have a strong opinion after hearing it?

It does sound a bit like a Vocoder was used.

Only on the lines "And I'm on tonight, you know my hips don't lie" I
hear Auto-Tune-like artifacts. The rest pretty much sounds like she's
always sounded.
