    Madonna is the queen of boots & rings.

    Asia Argento was good in Marie Antoinette. Would love it if Madonna hired her father. His music is wonderful.

    He ìs a horror movie director, maybe you like the soundtracks of his films..they always enhanced the suspence of scenes.

    didn't Asia sexually assault a 17 year old a few years ago, sounds like a hypocrite given her talk about me too but Rose McGowan said asia was a nice person before they fell out so I guess that's ok??

    The story is very complicated, she was in love with Bourdain ( who killed himself) and he paid this guy ( actor in her movie) to silence him, but the things became public thanks to the McGowan's girlfriend...a chaos

    oh.. but many comments on her instagram are about how she's inspiring, had an important speech and such

    She was the first to accuse Weinstein, but in Italy (hypocritical country) many said she has not the moral stature to be a spokeperson for women rights..with these premises we can understand why she is following her 😉

    It's a contest created after WWII to give those countries that won the war the possibility to humiliate those who lost it. Since then, some tributes from different countries are sent to an arena to fight against each other. Vocally, mind. Since 1967, the UK thought about joining in, but with several privileges and opt outs that included the possiblity of release a remix version of the song and include an orchestra. France was against it and that started the feud that nowadays has fuelled the Brexit, believe it or not. General de Gaule was against the UK being part of the club, but had to give in (because he died). 

    Since 1978 Communist countries are part of the contest too, but it was mostly one country, USSR. After the country got in the last place in 1989, all republics started rebelling against Gorbachev in a movement called the Perestroika. Gorbachev had to give in and the USSR fell in 1990, so more countries had the possiblity to be part of the contest, such as Azerbayan or Kazajistan or Ukraine. 

    Since 2005, it is possible for twins to participate, and since then Ireland has sent several twins. The former soviet republics, who were against twins since the beginning, are meneacing to leave the contest. That is why this year it takes place in Israel instead of Lithuania. The only  condition that Madonna takes part in the gala is that she didn't bring a twin. That pic of Madonna and her sister Paula in Instagram last week created much havoc in Russia, as some media released some fake news that Madonna was planning a performance with her twin. 

    Most famous people that have been part of the Eurovision interlude are: 

    The Beatles (1967)

    Nana Mouskouri (from 1968 to 2003)

    Missy Eliot (2004)

    Samantha Fox(2005-2008)

    Barbra Streisand (2009)

    Lady Gaga (2010-2017)

    Justin Timberlake (2018)

    Oh, I forgot to include that the euro was created in 1999 as a way for people visiting the country for eurovision to spend some money. The idea was so popular that coins and notes were produced by the million and by 2002 the currency was stablished as the European one. Except for the United Kingdom, that wanted a remix version of a song by Xenomania in 2001 and it was forbidden and they got angry and decided to keep the pound as their currency :rolleyes:

    ahah 🤣

    Just curious (in USA no one even knows what EV is) ...why is it considered cheesy? 

    Is it because it looks cheesy and it’s just like a huge American Idol with so many different cultures that it comes across as messy ?? 

    Just my opinion: it looks cheesy because some perfomances and looks are a bit over the top..some very dark ((think about the video for Frozen, big fans, fog, etc)..some very camp ( think about a video of meghan trainor, colorful, choreos with dolls movements).
