She might have caused a stir with her new album art work which sees her pose in her underwear, but Shakira decided to go for subtly sexy to perform on The Voice on Saturday night.

The 37-year-old Colombian songstress chose to cover up her provocative black body, fishnet tights and thigh high platform black boots in a floor length black cape, but still gave a very sensual performance. 

Running her fingers through her long blonde tousled hair and down her body the Hips Don't Lie singer made sure her performance was just as sensual as the lyrics of her new song Empire.

Singing the lines 'closer pull me in tight, I want to be yours' the blonde beauty gave a powerful

performance which got a standing ovation from each Voice coach. 

After being asked by presenter Emma Willis if she enjoyed her sultry performance, the Hips Don't Lie singer replied: 'thank you, I am having a blast'

Although performing in front of four large red chairs isn't all new to Shakira, as she is one of the coaches on The Voice USA.

Admitting it felt quite different to be performing as opposed to judging the talent on stage.

She said: 'it feels change to be on the otherside of the red chairs, it's nerve wracking, here is when you really think about and put yourself in the shoes of the contestants'

Shakira wasn't the only Spanish speaking performer on the show, as Enrique was up next to perform his new single I'm A Freak.

For the up tempo performance the sexy Spaniard dressed in dark jeans and shirt with a denim cap pulled low over his handsome face.

Clearly enjoying the dance beat of his song, the 38-year-old singer jumped around the stage, even running his hands through the audience at one point.

When asked about his top grooming tips for men, Enrique reveals he keeps his routine simple but thorough.

Telling the MailOnline: 'If you have a hairy back, shave it; brush your teeth; fake tan I'm not so much into. Not too much hair I guess - I shave everywhere. I'm kidding, I don't shave everywhere... But most places you do try to trim.'

The reason both of them hugged Kylie was because Shakira sang at the German ECHO2014 Awards the night before, and Kylie headlined it... Enrique's sang a duet with Kylie called "Beautiful" which'll be out on May 5th.

I'm so glad to see Shakira performing again with her new songs. I find her so talented but still very down-to-earth.

'The Voice' is an enjoyable Show, only spoiled by a disappointing Panel. Ricky Wilson whoever he maybe, is a total bore, completely devoid of any personality. e has nothing to offer whatsoever. The Firebrand that used to be Tom Jones says/does little and appears to be reaching old age and has become muted. Kylie is a nice Girl, but is somewhat sickly-Sweet. She struggles to say anything of interest.
