Rewind & React rewinds to one of Shakira’s wildest early crossover videos with a deep dive into “Objection (Tango).”
Adam and Rob revisit the Dave Meyers-directed video that blends tango, rock performance, animation, superhero parody, and full-on revenge fantasy into one chaotic early-2000s music video ride.

Here’s what we’re covering:

• The dramatic tango opening and how it sets up the story of betrayal, jealousy, and revenge
• Why “Objection” stands out from many of Shakira’s other videos by giving us a full narrative instead of just a performance showcase
• The unmistakable Dave Meyers visual style — cool metallic tones, crushed blacks, industrial textures, and that surreal early-2000s music video polish
• How the video jumps between genres, from tango drama to rock performance to comic-book fantasy to absurd comedy
• Shakira’s rocker-inspired look, from ripped tights and baggy jeans to the blonde hair with dark streaks that defined this era
• The ridiculous but memorable superhero twist, complete with off-brand Batman and Superman figures helping Shakira take down the cheating couple
• How “Objection” helped show Shakira’s range as she moved deeper into the English-language pop market after already becoming a major star in Latin music

Plus, Adam and Rob dig into the video’s animated fight sequence, the strange Batman-villain torture wheel, real Los Angeles filming locations, and have a Shakira or Bad Bunny trivia game.

From tango heartbreak to comic-book revenge, “Objection” isn’t just a breakup video — it’s Shakira turning jealousy into a full-blown action fantasy.
