Shakira has always displayed her flexibility in her music videos, but never has she been this bent out of shape before.

The Hips Don't Lie singer showed that she can bend her legs Whenever, Wherever as she displayed her amazing limberness.

The 36-year-old was happy to show off her not-so-secret talent as she explained exactly what she might do for a living if she was not a singer.

The Colombian superstar was recording the difficult poses for The Voice as she curved her snake like legs in all manner of directions.

Shakira managed to put both her feet behind her head as she revealed that she could be a contortionist in a circus.

The starlet wasn't exactly dressed for the tough movement as she wore a white T-shirt and a pair of tight jeans.

Nevertheless she was extremely convincing with her suppleness with fellow Voice mentor Usher exclaiming: 'I think Shakira is pretty limber!'

The judges and celebrity mentors were all asked what profession they would like to do if they weren't on stage, but Shakira's alternative vocation was by far the most impressive.

Some of their answers were hilarious and they even joked about what their fellow judges could do.

Keeping with the circus theme, both Adam Levine and Usher claimed Blake Shelton could be a jester before Usher brandished a huge pair of red shoes for the country singer to wear.

Usher, 34, also said he wouldn't mind being fired out of a cannon while Levine, also 34, admitted he always wanted to be a secret agent but said he'd settle for the motorbike daredevil in the circus show.

Meanwhile, contestant Michelle Chamuel joked she was Usher's pupeteer and said: 'I taught puppet Usher everything he knows!'

Brilliant... But she can't sing. "Incredibly talented woman in so many respects, did you know Shakira has an IQ of 140 (puts her in the top 1% of the population by intelligence)? Add to her that all her singing, dancing, songwriting and charity work... - Sandy, Glasgow, 22/05/2013 16:57"
