When Eva Rey asked if she had worked with the singer, Franklin responded frankly: “Yes, it is a complex theme. I know that many people love Shakira and I know that, because of the temperament she has and for that way of being stubborn, stubborn of her … that song Gross, blind, deaf -mute. Clumsy, tastaruda is his reality, and it has been impossible to change him, ”he said.

She is a woman who is not very graceful in the way of dressing, But you see her dance and you say: this goes unnoticed and erases everything, because as an artist she is incredible.
