WHY SHAKIRA? ''My career started with a lot of Latino female singers — Alejandra Guzman, Selena, Gloria Trevi. Out of all those artists [Shakira] is the one that hits me in the heart, that I identify myself with [Shakira] a lot of her stories, a lot of her way of living, of being her own self, of not being afraid to show the world who she is,'' says Boy, who works as a Wal-Mart cashier by day. ''I've never met Shakira, but hopefully in the future I will. It will be a big moment for my life. —MA
