Shakira: 'I had a voice like a goat'
Shakira has confessed that her unique singing style initially made her sound like a "goat".

The 32-year-old admitted that her vocals once even cost her a place in the school choir.

"I never made it to the school choir because the music teacher didn't like my voice," Showbiz Spy quotes the star as saying. "I was pretty sad.

"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."
