Every singer includes some rock parts in their music, especially with drums. It doesn't mean they do rock music, if we're going your way then every music ever made is rock music. Look for Spanish Rock online, no self respecting site about it would include Shakira.
Different voice is nice, but she just can't sing. Britney Spears' voice is also different, doesn't mean she should've ever started singing. Different doesn't necessarily mean good. By the way, I like some of Shakira's songs, I enjoy them and I sing them to myself from time to time. But to say she has a good voice and that she does rock music is an insult to our intelligence.
Actually one of Amy's best song is a piano ballad called Hello, and another good song of hers is You. If ballads aren't your thing you might not like them, but they're worth it in my opinion. I'm a big fan of ballads, which is obvious considering that my favourite singer is the queen of ballads. I personally think every good album should have around 3 ballads to make it complete, but that's just me.
