No idea. But she has chron´s disease and a few people I know with that diseas use to be vegans... Lol, that was the only word I found for V. B - Breast cancer

Amazing flop for the untalented Ciara.

I detest Westlife, but why should anyone buy a record they don´t like or a record whose song they already have in other studio albums just to stop them from being # 1? 1 copy won´t make any difference in the charts, and if you have enough money to waste like that give it to charity... this campaign is stupid, like everything from the sun. They should not interfer on the public´s option. Still, it´s sad that the Top 4 albums will be cheap cash ins of old songs and an album of covers. Sucks really hard.

Nah, look at the charts, it´s filled with hits packaged of artists whose studio albums sold more then Suga´s albums, like Robbie Williams, George Michael, Beatles, Jamiroquai, etc.

Usually, christmas-related albums tend to debut lower in November and climb slowly until reaching their peak on the christmas week. At least it´s what happens in USA charts. Not sure if people in UK are too keen on Christmas music, tough.

I know about this problems in Brazil of course, but these problems happen in every 3rd world country, including nearly all islamic countries. I think it has nothing to do with the topic after all. The issue about racism, well, obviously most afro-brazilians are poor because they are descendents from slaves, while the majority of the white population comes from portuguese colonization. I don´t think it has so much to do with the collor of your skin, just the fact that the 2 races have started with different conditions. Things are getting fixed with time. 100 years ago if I married a black woman that would be scandal. Today, I think I would face no problem with it. 80 years ago, to have a black person on politics would be a wild thought... but now it´s pretty much normal. Of course it´s not a perfect world but we know what direction we should go. We have problems, but we know them. A bigger problem would be acepting these things as normal. I´m not sayng my culture doesn´t have faults. In fact the whole western culture is decadent. We should even learn a bit from the eastern world. The worse it is to have women covering their faces, we might aswell take a lesson from that and not judge people by appearence. Our women don´t have to cover their faces but sometimes they suffer even more for not being acepted by their looks, and women are sometimes treated like sexual objects.

# 46 argh

They have the freedom to vote for the president and politics they want, to follow the religion they want, to voice an opinion, to wear like they want, etc. As if poverty and violence only existed here... And least we have ways to fight against it. Do you really think black people are treated as 2nd class citizens? In fact, poor people are treated as 2nd class citizens in any country of the world. It´s not like you have your civil rights banned for being black. Black people represent a big percentual of the population, which means they also have in their hands the choice of the politics who rule the nation. Some of the countries biggest cultural icons and celebrities are black. You might ask for one of these persons living in $h!tholes in Brazil if they want to move to Arabia or Egipt. I doubt it, they´re poor but they´re smiley. Plus, just because I live in a country with problems doesn´t mean I have to agree with all the type of discriminations and absurds in the islamic world. You complain a lot about the mix of religion and state. Here in Brazil these things are completely separated, and nobody is discriminated for belonging to a religious minority. If Brazil was such a piece of $h!t then we wouldn´t have so many people from islamic countries emigrating here to have a decent life.

I can never agree with that. It´s not a matter of respect, it´s a matter of freedom. If a western doesn´t have the right to have his religion in an islamic country it´s only because of their "culture", but if an islamic woman cannot cover her face then we´re dealing with their feedom? Muslims are respected in western countries even when they are less then a 1% minority... cannot say the contrary is truth, tough. 10% of christians in the "secular" Egipt country don´t have a half of the freedom that the 3% muslims have in UK or the 0.000000... have in Brazil, for example. Just like you said in other topic, I think they should "get their own house in order" first. If muslims wan´t to start to fight for freedom, they should start in their own medieval countries for their own good.

But this is not something legally acepted. Crimes exist everywhere, tough happen with most frequency in certain places, but to live in a place where discriminate and kill people is legally acepted must be total hell. I still woudln´t trade Brazil for Arabia.

So in her case, in was the certain thing in the certain whole... But still, the video wouldn´t make her famous if she wasn´t such a rich b**ch.

Yeah, they respect it in the WEST, where they are a minority, would you like to wear short skirts in Arabia? Or walk with a cross on your neck in Afghanistan?

It´s ridiculous, and he should move to Arabia. But the Amish comunity is subject to the state law, they don´t have their own law. If an Amish kills somebody, he would be judged like any other USA citizen. But this guy on the interview says he wanted them to implement Sharia as their law, well, if they want to live like animals go to Arabia, a civilized country can´t accept a law like that.

If celebrities were really popular for being talented at something or doing something good it would be ok, but in most cases it´s just people who got famous for their looks or for being in the right place at the right time, or Paris Hilton´s case, for being born in the right cradle.

Pink is the worst, she only uses the lesbo thing for promotion but she´s not. I wasn´t aware Kate Bush was. Where´s Elton John?

If you didn´t notice it´s not me who start mentioning other singers in all topics. It was just a coment. You mean ludacris the rapper or does this word has any meaning?

Well, I think it was a stupid attitude, but it was a 73 year old men so you never know what state of mind he was. Plus, he killed himself instead of killing inocent women or children. Far more respectful. And I think he had a point... the fact that Islam might become the main religion in some ocidental countries in some years to come scares me. Don´t underestimate the potential of a religion to grow. Here in Brazil, protestants were 1% of the population 100 years ago, and now they´re between 15% and 20% and gaining almost 1% every year. Muslims are already 3% in England. If nobody goes to church anymore it´s because we live in free civilized countries, and we are not forced a religion down our throats by the "secular" state like in certain oriental countries, and we don´t have to fear death threats if we offend the christian religion or joke about it. Think about the Berlin opera, who depicted many religious figures in a scene, you win a prize if you discover which was the only religion who cause trouble to it.

In other words, you stopped liking him because he got famous. Wisemen is no different from the rest of his material.

To have 14 # 1´s and a bazillion top 10 singles only releasing cover versions of old song is something of an achievement, and I´m starting to think they must have something special to be able to sell that.

Lol, you should try listening to a sample before buyng something just because your friends are listening. It works. However, thanks for being one of those who helped this wonderfull album become the 15th biggest selling of all time in UK. You haven´t liked it, but 90% of the people who bought it thought it was good enough to buy the follow up.

Of course not. What makes a singer better is to receive phone calls from Elton John, we all know it...

No, that was just an answear to someone who was having delirious that Anastacia was more popular then Dido. To me it doesn´t matter because Dido is better then them all independent of how much she sells.
