I listened to this song for the first time in a long while and, good god, the mix sounds so horrendous. Shakira's vocals are way to up front and louder than anything else like, rather than sounding like part of the song it sounds like the instruments and Wyclef are one thing that was recorded separately then Shakira went into the studio leaning as close as she can to the microphone holds up a speaker some distance from the microphone that's playing the Wyclef & instruments part while she sings her vocals. It sounds that shitty and that unprofessional.

Seriously, one of the worst fucking mixes/production of an otherwise fairly nice pop tune I've ever heard.
