Teenage Shakira sang like a goat

Shakira has revealed that when she was a teenager her singing was compared to the bleating of a goat.

 "I never made it to the school choir because the music teacher didn't like my voice. I was pretty sad," Contactmusic quoted her as telling website AbsoluteNow. 

"But he was probably right, I did have a voice a bit like a goat but my dad told me to never give up and to keep going and it's paid off," she added.

Also, Shakira has recently expressed her desire to have babies with partner Antonio de la Rua.
