...one is an Adam and Eve-ish theme and the other is a theme of peace.

This has already been brought up before.

I hate how Shakira's cover makes aspirations of being something deeper than it actually is(the whole adam and eve thing) - I mean come on, "Oral Fixation" :roll eyes: At least Ayu's is very tasteful.

Um... Oral Fixation is a Freudian term, being the first of his 7 stages of life... when you are first born you are in the oral stage, where you are fixated on things concerning the mouth (ie babies put everythin gin their mouth, to taste, feel etc.)...

Why does everyone think oral means something dirty? Its as frustrating as everyone thinking everybody's copying Ayu.

People have their minds in the gutter (including me x_x). It is frustrating, though.

Yeah, same problem in reality too. Idiots. >.>

Nothing similar, just the nakedness and leaves probably.

Yes, I am well aware of what it means. But the point is, is that is not the meaning that most people today associate with it and it is with that in mind that this album was titled that way - I highly doubt Shakira is referring to sucking on her thumb as a child.

However, even the Feudian definition itself is sexual - it's not the "stages of life", it is the "psycho-sexual" stages of life.

She did state that the reason she named it Oral Fixation was because she was "fixated to the spoken word" or fascinated with what people can achieve with words, I think. It's in her site, www.shakira.com or her Wiki site.

Yeah, the covers look alike, but it's not like it's a very original idea...

shavoingin · #13 27th June 2006, 06:30 AM

well aside from them being naked/having leaves covering their boobs i dont see any other similarities lol

emi♡ · #14 27th June 2006, 06:58 AM

just because they both have leaves doesn't make them the same. Two extrememly different themes.

it's like, how BLUE BIRD and MY STORY both had Ayu laying on beds, that doesn't make them the same, they had two totally different concepts.

oral fixation...sounds....not good for kids...

Lmao, it was meant to be a double meaning..

Apparently you don't understand the double meaning?

Yes I know that the bird means peace and like every album song is about peace, but I REALLY don't see how the cover of I am.. is about peace, much less the artwork. She looks more like a desert goddess/nomad. Or maybe just some hot naked model ? lol

miracleofsuzaku · #19 27th June 2006, 07:32 AM

You have got to be kidding me.

truehappiness · #20 27th June 2006, 07:33 AM

I think Ayu's is a bit better cause she's.. wearing pants.. XD
